Looking for information on the ancestry for Rebecca Haines. Her first husband Jeremiah Johnson died about 1756, New York. Their children were Henry, Jeremiah and Nancy all born in New York city. Rebecca then married George Field and the first three children, Daniel, Mary and Hannah were also born in New York before moving to Pennsylvania where Glibert and Nathan were born. Rebecca, and her children from both husbands all moved to Canada during the Revolution.

    Hi, Brenda. Thanks for your post. It's probable that I am a descendant of Rebecca Haines. My grandmother was a Haines, born in Ontario, Canada in the 1800s. Her ancestors left the U.S. (Pennsylvania) as United Empire Loyalists. Unfortunately I can't give you any information on the ancestry of Rebecca, but I was wondering if you can point me in the right direction for information on her descendants and details of their move to Canada. Thanks.

      Hi Brenda,

      I’m a descendant of Rebecca Haines UE and Dr. Jeremiah Johnson through their son Jeremiah James Johnson. I have not had much luck with searching for information about Rebecca’s parents at all. Rebecca and Jeremiah were married at the Dutch Reformed Church in New Paltz, Ulster County, New York. 

      I’ve heard that Rebecca may have come from the Hudson Valley, NY but this has not yet been proven. 

      Since Rebecca Haines and Dr. Jeremiah Johnson were married outside of the Quaker religion, I doubt very much that Carlisle Haines and Sarah Matlock are her parents. There would have been a removal order and other documents showing that she was involved in the church and I’ve yet to find anything about this. 

      I have also found that Rebecca and Henry Haines (her brother) were listed in the will of Samuel Brown - the father of Phoebe Brown. This information may help other Haines relatives who are trying to prove their UE certificates back to the Haines family who emigrated to Canada.
