Note from Aunt Bertha

Personal Note:

I discovered Lemuel Haynes when I chanced on the note pictured on the left. My mother, Eloise Hamil had written to her aunt Bertha Foster in the early 1960's asking if any of our family had been in the Revolutionary War. This is Bertha's response. I've included these texts, found randomly over the years, wanting to learn about the life of a relative and the times in which he lived. The only other family oriented mention of Lemuel Haynes that I've found, since, was from David Barth an ardent geniologist and distant relative. While he had not been able to find a record of Lemuel's son, William Haynes' wedding to Mary Case or the births of their children, Sam, Mary Elizabeth and William Jay, he did note that there are other Whipple family anecdotes regarding the connection.
