V. Early 1800's

I need to figure out exactly how the Haines were related to each other. Because they were related to both Collett’s and McKay’s, and were in Waynesville early, I think they likely caused both McKay’s and Collett’s to come to near here. (Doster’s came from VA to southern Fayette County-forty miles east of here-in 1810.)

As referenced in an Ashby genealogy I have, and will expand here later, there are two versions of where Collett’s originated-England or France, but in Virginia, Collett’s lived 25 miles NE of McKay’s, and also had Haines neighbors. My g-g-g grandmother, Mary Haines, whose father, Joshua and his brother, Abraham, bought 1120 acres with the surveyor, George Washington in 1750, just before she was born, was kicked out of Hopewell Quaker Meeting for marrying Daniel Collett, a recent Revolutionary private. She was re-instated and moved her membership to Miami Meeting in Waynesville in 1812, perhaps.

Though he was never a Quaker, Revolutionary Daniel Collett’s six Quaker daughter-in-laws, including a Rebecca Haines (Perhaps a niece of her mother-in-law), and three of my g-g-g grandfather Moses McKay’s daughters, buried Daniel’s body a mile NE of, now, our Moses McKay House, at Caesar Creek Quaker Meeting in 1835.
