  • Notes 
    • Richard Hains (Haines, Haynes, Hayne, etc) Came from Aynho-upon-ye-hill, County of Oxon, Northhamptionshire, England. He sailed in the Spring of 1682 from Grasses End, Wales on the "Amity." Although he was styled "Husbandman" in the deeds of his West Jersey Land Grants, he descended from an ancient family which had made "illustrious marriage connections. Richard was a member of the Society of Friends prior to 1676, belonging to the Oxfordshire Monthly Meeting. Before he left England he obtained from Edward Byllinge two grants for 100 acres in West Jersey.
      Richard with his wife Margaret and four children: Richard, William Thomas and Mary sailed from Downes on April 23, 1682 as passengers on Richard Diamond's ship "Amity." During the long, hard voyage, Richard, Sr. sickened, died, and was buried at sea. After his death another son Joseph was born in mid-ocean. Margaret and her five children finally landed at Burlington, N. J. in the fall of 1682 where they were joined by the eldest son John who had come over previously.
      The youngest child, Joseph eventually settled in Chester County, Pennsylvania, but the other four sons remained in New Jersey where they became extensive land owners and reared some forty children. -- Ancestry and descendants of Zimri and Elizabeth Compton Haines: a genealogy, rev and extended by Clayton D.
