All of these children, except Esther and Mary came to goshen.
John Haines was a settler Lumberton, NJ, as early as 1683, and it is said to have lived at first in a cave.
Tradition has it that he sent for his father and brothers to come over to "The Colonies" and that his father died at sea. There is a deed on record from Edward Byllinge to Richard Haines of "Anoe on y hill, in y county of Oxon", for 100 acres of land in NJ. This Anoe is supposed to refer to Aynho, in a point of Northamptonshire, England, and which extends in Oxfordshire. Richard Haines was doubtless the father of John, Richard, William, Thomas and Joseph, who lived for a time in Burlington County.
John married Ester Borton on 4 Oct 1684 in Burlington County. US. Ester (daughter of John Borton and Anne Kinton) was born on 25 May 1667 in Northampton River, New Jersey, America. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
