Andrew Henderson Haynes

Taken from SISSONVILLE A TIME TO REMEMBER PG 89-90 I, Andrew Henderson Haynes, was born Aug. 2, 1849 near the mouth of Higginbotham in Kanawha Co. Virginia (now West Virginia) on Poca River, approximately seven miles above the village of Sissonville. My Grandfather, Jasper Haynes, and my father Joh Haynes, came from the eastern part of West Virginia. My great grandfather Haynes was one of the pioneers who helped whip the Indians out of Pt. Pleasant at the mouth of Kanawha River. My Great grandfather Paul Shiver, was, also an Indian fighter. After peace was made with the Indians at Lexington, Kentucky, an Indian at night went into the corn crib of Paul Shiver, who shot and killed the Indian in this crib. Fearing retaliation, Paul took the Indian horse and gun and came to the head of Poca River in Roane County, West Virginia. It was rumored that Paul left a large farm in or near Lexington, Kentucky where he hurriedly departed. Submitted by Ruby Monk Walker
