3 HENRY A. HAINES
The third child born to J. Wingate and Mary Briggs Haines was named Henry but sadly he died on September 29, 1831, in Hallowell, Maine, only three months after birth. Eleven and one-half months after his death, Mary gave birth to another son whom they named Henry A. Haines.
When he was fifteen years old, Henry moved with his family to the northern Maine township officially referred to as Letter D Plantation, Range 1 WELS (first range west of the eastern line of state), the township that would be incorporated as Fort Fairfield in 1858. The area was sparsely settled with less than 400 inhabitants at the time of their arrival and all were pioneers on the “wild frontier.”
