1893 - Arkansas
Son of Rebecca Morris and Ira Haynes The family migrated to Meigs County, Tennesee & there he married Matilda McCorkle, February 10, 1853. Matilda was the daughter of Sammuel and Phoebe McCorkle.
From their marriage, four children were born: Ira Clinton Haynes (1856), Lucinda R. Haynes (1857), Christena Elizabeth "Teney" Haynes (1858), and Mary Catherine "Cat" Haynes (1860). All were born in Tennessee.
The couple eventually moved to Barling, Sebastian County, Arkansas where their daughter Christena and her husband had settled. They traveled often, however, to Tennessee.
Joseph died in 1893 while in Arkansas and is buried near his daughter, Christena Elizabeth "Teney" Haynes Hayes, under a large cedar tree in Barling Cemetery. His wife, Matilda is buried in Tennessee.
Note: The original gravestone is a field rock. Initials J.T.H. and year of death are hand-chiseled and can be seen when lightly chalked. A new stone was set in 2011 by family members adjacent to the original (some 118 years later).
