Some Family Updates, Wow is all I can say.

THE ORIGINS OF THE HAINES FAMILY
Our name originates from the Welsh name, Einws.
Vortigern was King of the Brittons at the time of the Roman
occupation of Britton. He married Sevira Serena, daughter of
Magmus Maximus, Roman governor of Britton and granddaughter
of Holy Roman Emperor, Constantine the Great. Together they had
a son named Catigern.
Brochwel Yschithrog, King of Powys, the central part of Wales,
AD 607 was the direct descendant of Catigern. Brochwel's direct
descendant, Einion had a son, also named Einion, but after Welsh
custom he was familiarly called by the diminutive Einws,
pronounced Eins. Einws had a son named John, know as John
Einws, which was sometimes written as Eines or Eynes. John
Eines lived in Bawsley, a town in the parish of Alderbury, which
was partly in Shropshire and partly in Montgomeryshire. From him
descended a flourishing family using the name Heynes, and later
Haynes, that spread over Shropshire and Montgomeryshire.
A member of this family, Richard Heynes relocated Charlebury,
Oxfordshire and eventually to Reading, Berkshire. He had four
sons including Nicholas Haynes of Hackney, Middlesex. Nicholas
was appointed a Yeoman of the Guard to Queen Elizabeth I and
the Coat of arms on the cover was confirmed to him by Queen
Elizabeth I on June 10, 1578.
John Haynes of Messing, Essex, a hot bed of Puritan activity, was
the grandson of Nicholas Haynes. At the request of John
Winthrope, the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony John
Haynes immigrated to America in 1633. He became the 5th
Governor of that colony and later went on to help found the colony
of Connecticut and become its first governor.
THE ORIGINS OF THE HAINES FAMILY
Richard Haines of Aynhoe, Northamptonshire was the grandson of
John Haynes and his first wife Mary Thorton (direct descendent of
Edward III). He and his wife Margaret Leeds were the immediate
progenitors of the branch of the Haines family known as the New
Jersey branch.
Before leaving England, Richard Haines purchased two grants of
land, each of one hundred acres in the new colony of West Jersey,
which at the time was still a wilderness inhabited by Native
American tribes. The family was coming to America to join their
eldest son John who had left for the new colony of West Jersey in
1680. The girl he loved had left the year before separating the
young couple and John had tearfully promised to follow. John
spent the first winter in a cave along the Rancocas creek. And the
following year built a house below Lumberton. Richard and his
family, including wife Margaret, children Richard, William,
Thomas and Mary set sail from the port of Downs on board the
ship “Amity”. In those days the voyage could take up to three
months, and conditions on board the ship were crude and
unhealthy. As fate would have it soon after leaving port the ship
was hit by a large storm and thrown off course. As the weeks
passed provisions began to run low and the captain ordered that
food and water be rationed, with women and children receiving
first priority. Richard slowly began to weaken and grow sick and
eventually took to his bed. With his family gathered around him
Richard Haines died on April 23, 1682, and was buried at sea. The
loss of one family member was balanced by the birth at sea of
another and just days after Richard’s passing his son Joseph Haines
was born.
The Haines family landed in Burlington, New Jersey in the fall of
1682. The six children of Richard Haines were John, Richard,
William, Thomas, Mary and Joseph. Together they were among
the first settlers of the new colony of West Jersey. They died
owning large tracts of land in Burlington County and elsewhere
and left to their decedents an enduring legacy of faith and courage.
Charles Bozarth Haines was the 7th generation great grandson of
Richard Haines.THE ORIGINS OF THE HAINES FAMILY

So when the October Speaker talked about the Royalty of Europe, we are descendants of them.
More ways than one, is so amazing because this is on Mom's side of family and we already do this on Dad's side of family.  This above write up was sent by cousin. The bottom is my research which overlaps a few generations.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL.

Christmas Letter

Season’s Greetings from our house to yours. 2013

January came, after Christmas as you know, having arrived home 5 days before Xmas it was quick.
February followed with more birthdays and events.
Quickly preparing for return trip to Michigan. Don was finally going to get some real medical help.
8 March off to Michigan for Don’s surgery the end of the month.  What a blessing after waiting 6 months.
April was Doctor visits and learning to do less and not be bored by setting around. No arm movements excessive and definitely, no lifting or bending or twisting.
May came and he was slowly adjusting to the change.
Learned he couldn’t even lift a bunny up to see.  Boys were great for helping. Will got to go to a Prom and Kevin was busy with school and 4-H as was Will.
Home missed me but they did okay.
Memorial Day, I was home to attend husbands FRA event at the Club289 in Imperial Beach.
Changes for many while I was gone, Change is not always a bad thing.

Was great to see Wyatt and Clementine they had so grown while I was away. Our Great Grandchildren.
Calls often to Michigan and Wyoming, a few to Petaluma.  Sure missed my MOM during this time.
July we had Anniversary and my birthday and grandson’s birthday. I think we have a Birthday nearly every month.
August Bj was adjusting to new changes at work.
Alan was contemplating changes at work also.
Ed was busy traveling as was Al.  Grandchildren were
Scattering to college and a new life.
Bj learned she was starting college again in September.  She completed in Dec with an A.
Fred lost lots of weight and made himself happy the new thin self, this year. He runs on the tread mill and works out on the bars.  I lost size doing stairs in Michigan but not much weight loss. It is all back now no stairs.
October brought marriage to Steve and Nicole.
I pulled my knee in yard tripping over a weed.
Now Dec I am having therapy again. So far so good.
November my chin flared and had surgery on it.
No Cancer, hurray.
Genealogically  I found more news on family lines and some pictures have been shared. We now visit with some of Mary and Fred’s Pentico family that lives in Fallbrook, Ca.  I have a picture of Jane Patterson DuVall’s father Rev Joseph Patterson whose father came from Ireland. Even have the name of the town. Another Pentico researcher shared a picture of Katherine Young Pentico, John’s wife.
Found Thomas Langdon’s kin in Virginia.  Learned that Mr. Alden of Mayflower is the nephew of Christopher Jones , who is our ancestor. His mother was Christopher’s sister.  Since so many of the Mayflower people came from same town wonder what other connections we may find if we looked in England.  Helped Liz with her Alexander’s and so far not found a link to ours. But just learned that the John Lee line is related to me 3 ways and 1 way to Fred.  Yes of the Light Horse Lee family.
Lastly, Zack, Will and Kevin got their drivers license and I was made Honorary Member of the Chula Vista Genealogical Society for the work I have put in over the years and the helping of creating the society with long ago friends.
Have a great year and I have three blogs you can follow my journeys on or email to get in touch with us.

Genealogy News for December, Family and Society.

Wow, did not realize how fast time flew.  It has been a busy month.  This is our wrap up month to start the new  year out with fresh thoughts and ideas.

 Attempting to wrap up Educational Events for the year.  One left, Wednesday evening at the Lemon Grove library we will have a social get together and go over the year and hopefully set goals for the coming year.

Having set goals last year, I can tell you even if you do not succeed with them all it helps to keep the ball rolling and the gears moving when the brain says," forget it".

Having had success where not expected was a real bonus this year.  Being away from home for a few months gave me time to assist  my daughter in law and help her move forward in her quest.  Somehow when one helps others it almost always comes back ten fold. Maybe not right away but it does happen.

 Having found data on Joseph Langdon and his father Thomas Langdon, (was just looking for Joseph).
 I was looking for data for someone else and up popped Thomas and Joseph. Having found the data for another person also.

Sometimes I want to say: "Help someone else that is researching in your area and just maybe your family will be next door."

That is going to be the theme of some of our Workshops this coming year.  It will be done by regions.
We have many that have Virginia, Pennsylvania,  New York, Georgia, Carolina's,  some upper New England, lots of Texas I am hearing, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio,  Kentucky and Tennessee etc.

Having had Jones kin ( 2nd cousins) & (2nd cousins once removed)  find me to help fill in blanks of Dad's family has been great.  Found kin of my husband's family( 2nd cousins 1 removed) some within 50 miles of us.

Acquired a laptop and am learning how to use my I-Pad. The laptop frees others up for when I do talks, they won't have to bring theirs for me to use. Thank You, Gary Brock, Virginia Taylor and Shirley Becker for all the support in the past.  I will gladly accept support but hopefully will be able to use my own in case your not able to attend now.

Thank you Steve for upgrading yours and selling it to me at a reasonable fee.  I am thrilled with them.

Joined the Italian Research Group in Encinitas, learning I have three lines of Italian now.

Received our first Scholarship Application Saturday.

Being honored by the Society at our Christmas Luncheon, that was a total surprise, now to write up the development of how our society started.  Thank You to everyone, your great people to work with.

Here is link to our Wednesday Event, written by  Randy Seaver regarding our year end event. He always does such a great job. His articles are always informative and helpful to our members and others.

My working Blog for my Educational Information is here: Ancestor Seekers by the Root Bound- Genealogy in Time Magazine
 
It has been fun but it was a lot of work, diligence and patience.  Fortunately there are a few of us still around.  That is one of my goals for the New Year, before much more happens.  I credit Geni Powell, Sandy Palumbo, June Dawson,  Peggy Donavan, Alice Myers, and the original Library staff for giving us a place to meet besides each others homes.  Geni Powell seemed to be the key person and from her working at the library, to our getting together and getting more  people involved it was not a short ride it took a couple of years.  We started in the 1980's but did not go formal until 1993.

Genealogy Adventures the Last Few Days

Genealogy Adventures the Last Few Days

 Wow, the information has been coming up, the pictures are even better.

 Someone, shared a picture of Mary Katherine Pentico, John Pentico's wife. Remember he was also known as John Penticuff/off.  We never had her name as Mary Katherine only Katherine.








                                               Sender said from Ancestry






 I sent people Lee data and we are still conversing.  Shared Jones information with Carolin F. We had a nice afternoon visiting. Never getting to her Uncle Glenn's information so looking forward to her next visit, soon.

Then a distant relative on Fred's side found family on my side regarding my Patterson's.   I even have a picture of Rev Joseph Patterson.  What a thrill.
