B.F. Bowen & Company, Publishers, Indianapolis, Indiana 1909 pgs 691-692
We read of the first John Haymond as being born as far back as April 7, 1773, and marrying Dorcas Holt, December 3, 1793. He was married a second time to Mary Hollenbeck. December 18, 1806, by which union there were ten children. Some years later the family came west and settled on land in Shelby county, before the state was admitted to the Union. On this farm the elder John Haymond died, August 21, 1834.
His oldest son. John Haymond. Jr.. who was born in Virginia. September 12, 1807, came with his parents to Indiana when about five years old. They reached Franklin county in 1812, and lived awhile in Brookville, later pushing on farther est until they found a suitable location in the northwestern part of Shelby county. The junior John Haymond located at Middletown and engaged in farming and merchandising. In 1826 he bought a farm on which was subsequently laid out the town of Waldron, in Liberty township. The original platting of the village was made in 1853-54 and the site took up a part of the Stroup and Haymond farms. John Haymond rose to prominence in the business world of that day, was captain of militia, and connected with every enterprise of importance that was set on foot in his community. He married Margaret Cummins, a native of Miamitown, Ohio, who came to Shelby county with her parents in 1830. She died in Shelby county after completing the ninety-third year of her age.
