SECOND GENERATION

2. Capt. John HAYNIE was born about 1624 in Virginia. Since John and Elizabeth Hayney were living at Buck's Row in or about Elizabeth City in 1623, this may be where Capt. John Haynie was born. He died before 22 Jul 1697 in Northumberland County, Virginia.
Some researchers believe that John Haynie was born in England and that he came to America in 1650. This belief is based upon John being listed in the following documents living in Virginia in 1650:

1. The Index of Immigrants and Naturalizations lists a John Haney in America in 1650 (Ref: Grantees of Land in the Colony and State of Virginia, copied from the County Records of Virginia; by Michael J. O'Brien}.
2. The Journal of the American Irish Historical Society, 13(1913-1914), pages 214-219.) (Cavaliers and Pioneers, Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents and Grants, 1623-1666; by Nell Marion Nugent; Virginia State Library, Richmond, Virginia, 1963, p. 207).
3. Passengers & Immigration Lists Index, 1991 Supplement, page 230). The source for this listing is: "Founders of Early American Families".(Ref: Founders of Early American Families, Emigrants from Europe, 1607-1657; by Meredith B. Colket, Jr.; General Court of the Order of Founders & Patriots of America, Cleveland, 1975.)
A review of the above sources show that they do not prove that John came to America in 1650, but only that he may have received a grant of land in 1650. (These are the only references that were found of a Land Grant to a John Haynie in 1650, the original Land Grant could not be found at the Virginia State Library when it was searched in 1994).The third listing above is a list the founders of early American Families, it does not say or imply that these families had just arrived in the colonies.
None of the references mention the name of a ship or record the port of arrival of this John Haynie and offers no proof that this is Capt. John Haynie, the progenitor of the Haynie family in Northumberland County, Virginia.

Capt. John Haynie first appears in the records of Northumberland County, Virginia on 13 April 1652, when he signed with 100 of the earliest settlers of Northumberland County including his father-in-law, Nicholas Morris, an oath to the Commonwealth of England (Northumberland County, Virginia, Record Book 14, 1652-1658, p. 74):
Wee whose names are subscribed doe promise & engage ourselves to be true & faithfull to the Commonwealth of England as it is now established without KING or HOUSE of LORDES.
John Haynie served as an Attorney/Agent and on juries throughout the period of 1652-1655. He was often in Court to obtain payment or where he was ordered to make payment on debts. Two of the early records that exists on John Haynie can be found in Northumberland County (Deeds & Will Abstracts for Northumberland County, Virginia 1650-1655; by Ruth & Sam Sparacio, page 53):
John Haynie aged 31 yeares or there abouts sworne and examined sayth that all the comendacons that ever hee heard of Alice Atkinson is that shee was a whore and farther this Depont. sayth not.

Capt. John Haynie had six children; sons Richard, John, and Anthony, daughters Elizabeth, Martha, and Anne. He possibly also had an adopted daughter he refers to as: "daughter-in-law Susanna Ware." Only three of John's children were mentioned in the will of Nicholas Morris, John's father-in-law, which was dated 21 November 1660.
In a Deed of Gift, John deeded his property to his two daughters, Martha and Elizabeth Haynie, and his daughter-in-law Susanna Ware. The deed stipulates that the property is to remain in his possession until they reach the age of 16 or until they marry. Much of this deed is unreadable since it has worn away, but is readable enough to identify some of John Haynies children (Northumberland County, Virginia, Record Book 14, 1658-1662, page 22).
NOTE: The only record found for Susanna Ware, which John refers to as a daughter-in-law, is in the deed above. Susanna was definitely not a daughter-in-law in the modern sense since she was not the wife of any of John's sons. In some instances this could also be read to mean a step-daughter, which in this instance is not the case. It is believed that John meant a female in his care, perhaps as a guardian or an adoption.
John Haynie held several patents to land; was grantee for 950 acres on 30 January 1650, Northumberland county (Cavaliers and Pioneers, Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents and Grants, 1623-1666; by Nell Marion Nugent; Virginia State Library, Richmond, Virginia, 1963, p. 207).
The above are only a few of the numerous times that Capt. John Haynie appears in the records of Northumberland County, Virginia.

John was actively engaged in the activities of the Northumberland Court as a Justice, a litigator, a defendant and a plantif up until the time of his death. John Haynie was a representative to the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1657-8 for St. Stephen's Parish. He served as a clerk of the Market, Wiccocomico and Little Wiccocomico on 20 November 1655. He also served as a sherrif and a constable and as a King's attorney (At court 19 April 1693, John Cralle to be Constable for Cherry Point and John Haynie, Jun'r, for upper Fairfield) He was sworn as a surveyor, 16 June 1661; and he was a member of the vestry of the Wiccocomico Episcopal congregation. Capt. John Haynie was a commander in the Susquehanna War in 1677.
John was designated a field officer with the rank of Captain in Northumberland County under Colonel Robert Carter. This appointment was by order of the Council in "Her Majesty's Colony and Dominion of Virginia" and bore the date 17 June 1703.
John's will has not been found and it is believed that it was burned in the courthouse fire of 1710. The will was recorded and proved at the court (Northumberland County, Virginia, Order Book 4, 1678 - 1698, Part 2, p. 781). Court held 22 July 1697 - Capt. Haynies will proved

John was married to Jane MORRIS (daughter of Nicholas MORRIS and Martha NEWMAN) about 1650 in Northumberland County, Virginia. Jane MORRIS was born about 1630 in Virginia and she died about 1725 in Northumberland County, Virginia. Jane Morris was named in her father's will, in 1660, as Jane Haney [Haynie].
