"Moses Haynes Sr. was a pioneer settler of Elbert County, Georgia.  He came there from South Carolina about 1790 or a little earlier.  He settled in the upper part of the county on land bounty containing one thousand acres which he received as a Revolutionary soldier."  He gave 3 acres of land where the old Holly Springs Baptist Church was built in 1796.  "Moses Haynes was one of the first grand jurors of Elbert County and served as Justice of the Peace for a number of years."  He was a native of Culpepper County, Virginia and lived for a while in South Carolina, where he was a member of Padgett's Creek Baptist Church.  He was the son of Jasper Haynes and Elizabeth Powell.  His will was recorded on May 4, 1829.  Named in his will were children: Stephen, William, Moses, Thomas, Nancy, Elizabeth Keeling, Mary Ellen (Polly), Sara Cardin, and grandchildren, Moses Cardin and Jane Glenn.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.

Additional guidelines around the Biography writeup can be found here:
