John Haynes, Jr. was the first born child of John Haynes of Maryland (mother's name is unknown).  He was born in 1775 in Bute County or Warren County, North Carolina.  He married Minerva Anderson Quimby about 1795 in either Warren,, Duplin or Sampson County, North Carolina.  She was born about 1774 in North Carolina and died between 1850--1858 in Rutherford County, Tennessee.

John and Minerva had seven children;
* Barbara Roxanna Haynes, born about 1798
* Matilda Haynes, born about 1799
* Everett B. Haynes, born September 11, 1801
* Nancy Haynes, born about 1804
* Abraham S. (Abram) Haynes, born April 22, 1809
* Thomas Haynes
* John J. Haynes, born 1814

John, Jr. was a planter by occupation.  He owned a plantation about 2 miles from Murfreesboro.  He bought part of his father's grant of 228 acres in Davidson County, North Carolina (later Tennessee) and moved to this farm soon after 1800.  He bought 50 acres from John McCoy and the court ordered it registered on Tuesday--January 06, 1807--Page 224, Minute Book A of Rutherford County, Tennessee Minutes. 

The 1850 Census of Rutherford County indicates that John was 75 and his wife Minerva was 76.  Minerva died between 1850--1858 in Rutherford County, Tennessee.  One family record indicated that she may have been buried in the Beesley Church Cemetery in Rutherford County.

John died in July 1864 in Rutherford County, Tennessee and was buried on the family farm.  His will was made in Rutherford County, Tennessee on August 01, 1858 and his wife was not mentioned in his will.  His son Everett presented the will for probate on August 01, 1864.  His will was signed August 07, 1858 and proved August 01, 1864. 

The family farm is now owned by a 3th great-grandson, Kenneth Webb Haynes of Murfreesboro.
