Am looking for any information on Rezin HAINES/HANES, son of Benjamin Haines. Benjamin
came from NY (one source) about 1813. He was one of the founders of Greenville, IN. In
court depositions found in the Harrison County, Indiana courthouse, it mentions Rezin
Hains, his son, having taken "the old man's" (Benjamin's) property and
selling it and keeping the money, not telling his father about it. In the court papers, it
also mentions that he (Rezin) sold his (Rezin's) clock factory after his father
(Benjamin) had set him up in business and that was his inheritance. Benjamin also had a
daughter Rebecca that married Daniel Dean.
I would appreciate any information on this family. Possibly related the the Samuel Haines
mentioned in the other query. Would like to know the relationship. Although Benjamin was
in Greenville, he does not appear on the census and according to papers in Harrison County
Courthouse, he was deceased by 1837.
would appreciate any and all information. Will share what I have.
