Descendants of the Heyns/Hains Family
of New York and Pennsylvania

Generation #4

John (³Joseph, ²Hendrick, ¹William) Hains, Esq.

John Hains was born 12/14/1746, probably in Bucks (now Monroe) Co PA. He and his extended family migrated before 1772 to Bedford Co PA. And in about 1778 in Bedford Co PA, John married Lanah Devore b. 5/8/1752 Morris (now Sussex) Co NJ. In the 1790 Federal Census for Bedford Co PA, John and Lanah are listed next door to Daniel Devore, Lanah's brother.

During the Revolutionary War, John served in the Bedford Militia and is cited as John Hains, Esq. And, John is found in multiple tax lists and censuses through 1810.

John died 4/20/1813 in Londonderry Twp, Bedford Co (vic. Madley) PA. In 1810 sons John, Jr. and Henry migrated to Coshocton Co OH. Analyzing marriage dates and locations for the Hains children leads to the belief that after 5/1813 when John's will was probated, son Daniel loaded up the remainder of the family and migrated to Muskingum Co Ohio. Of note, the old Forbes Road runs through Bedford heading west toward Pittsburgh, connecting to Zane's Trace en route to central Ohio.
