- HAINES, HANES, MINNICH posted by Mark Shelly on Friday, August 4, 2000
- John Haines of Ringgold, Jefferson is thought to have died in 1847. His children probably included Joseph, George, Henry, and John. His wife was Mary Minnich, dau of Peter Minnich of Ringgold. It appears 2 of her children were with Minnich relatives under the name Haine in the 1850 Jefferson, Ringold census. Nearby was Adam Haine 46, probably John Haines brother. His widow Mary (Minnich) Haines later married Jacob Shelly of Redbank Twp, Armstrong Co and a John Hane 16 is listed with him.
I would appreciate any information on John Haines and his children. Several of them may have participated in the Civil War. Joseph probably was in the Calvary at Gettysburg.

- BROWNLEY, CHITESTER, DAILEY, KIRKER, METZ, RICE posted by Paula Pompeii on Monday, August 21, 2000
- Does any one know if there are still records of the Emerickville Circuit of the Methodist Episcopal Church and how far they go back? This would include Mead Chapel, the McAninch Congregation, and the Mooere M. E. Church. Many of my ancestors from Jefferson County belonged to these churches. I have been told that the LDS does not have their records. Since they belonged at a time that birth marriage records were not required,1850-1880's, this may be my only chance to find out some of the information I need. I am researching the RICE, CHITESTER, DAILEY, KIRKER, METZ and BROWNLEY families of Jefferson County. Thank You.
