There was a letter written by my Great Grandfather Nathan Haines titled History of the Haines Family.
I have a typed up version of that. It is just 2 pages. It appears that somebody in the family probably asked him questions about the Haines family history and somebody wrote it down and added some info to it at the end since the last couple paragraphs have info on family that were details that happened quite a long time after Nathan died in 1886.
This short family history story mentions Nathan's son William Haines who was born to his first wife, and was Nathan's 4th child of the 17 children he fathered by the three different wives he had during his lifetime.
The story says that William "left home at the age of seventeen, Oct. 1859, and his whereabouts are still unknown".
There are any number of guesses a person could make as to what happened to William. He may have went West in search of free land in some place giving homesteads to anyone who wanted them and got sick and died.
He may have volunteered to go into the service when the Civil War started and got killed and buried in an unmarked grave by people who did not know who he was????
