JAMES BAXTER HAYNES:  Elder James B. Haynes was a native of Ohio 
County, Kentucky, and was a descendant of an old French Huguenot 
family which settled early in this region of the state.  His brother, 
Josiah Haynes, was a member of old Beaver Dam Church in her early 
history, and was accustomed to walk over twenty-five miles to his 
church meetings when Beaver Dam was the only church on the north side 
of Green River west of Elizabethtown.  The subject of this sketch was 
born in about the year 1823.  His early education was very limited, 
being obtained in the common schools of his neighborhood.
	Elder Haynes was baptized into the fellowship of the old Panther 
Creek Church at an early age by Elder J. P. Ellis.  By this same 
church he was licensed to preach in January, 1856, with David 
Whittinghill and D. J. Phillips.  At the call of the Bethabara Church 
in Daviess County he was ordained to the ministry by Elders J. P. 
Ellis, J. R. Gillespie, and J. S. Taylor, in February, 1857.  He 
immediately took the pastoral care of the Bethabara Church, remaining 
here until 1860.  In the meantime he served his home church at Panther 
Creek during the years 1858-1861.
	After the outbreak of the Civil War he was arrested by the "Home 
Guards" and committed to a military prison.  Soon after his release he 
moved to Henderson County, where he labored as a pastor and missionary 
until his removal to Union County about 1870.  He labored very 
successfully in his adopted county and is reverently spoken of as the 
father of the Union County Association.  He served this Association, 
Union County, as Moderator from 1878 to 1886.  In 1888 the Union 
County and Henderson County Associations united and became the Ohio 
Valley Association.  Brother Haynes served the new body as Moderator 
in 1889.  
     His death occurred in Sturgis, Kentucky, on April 3, 1894, in his 
seventy-first year.
