h/o Mary Haymond
-----
John Haymond, of the third generation, youngest son of Calder Haymond, was born in Virginia, April 7, 1773. He was married to his first wife, Dorcas Holt, in Virginia, December 3, 1793. She was born in Virginia, May 10, 1767. Of this marriage five children were born: Nancy, Eleanor, Elizabeth, Thomas J. and Dorcas. This first wife died December 29, 1805, and was buried in the family cemetery in Virginia. John Haymond married for his second wife Mary Hollenbeck, December 18, 1806. She was a native of Virginia, born January 9, 1784. Of the second marriage were born ten children: John, Calder, Milly, Hannah B., Harriett, Casander, James C., Sarah Jane, Alfred H. and Roanna.

John Haymond caught the inspiration for the West while yet comparatively a young man. He emigrated to western Ohio about the year 1810. He tarried here only until Indiana Territory was opened up for settlement. As early as 1812 he was joined by his father, Calder Haymond, and together they proceeded westward and settled in the north-west part of what is now called Franklin county, Indiana, at a point near the West Fork of White river, possibly near to what are now the villages of Laurel or Metamora. Here, about the year 1817, as heretofore related, Calder Haymond departed this life, waiting with his son for the opening of the country further to the west. Finally Indian treaties were concluded, by which, about the year 1818, the Federal Government acquired title to all the territory included in Shelby county. In the year 1822, or earlier, John Haymond and his son, Thomas J. Haymond, had made tours of inspection into the territory comprising Shelby county, and we find that on March 12 and 14, 1822, Thomas J. Haymond entered one hundred and sixty acres of land on the east boundary of the county, and on June 5, 1822. his father, John Haymond, entered a quarter-section of land, also on the east boundary of the county. Changes were made afterwards by which Thomas J.Haymond,the son, established his home just across the Shelby county line, in Rush county, while John Haymond, the father, acquired the quarter-section on a corner of which the town of Waldron now stands. On this farm, on August 21, 1831, John Haymond died, in the fifty-ninth year of his life, and here he was buried in the family graveyard. His second wife, Mary Hollenbeck, died on this homestead farm, February 29, 1836, and was buried by her husband's side in the family graveyard.
