Notes:

This John Baynes was a revolutionary war soldier. He filed for compensation after the war in Perry County, IL.

John married Susannah WATKINS in 1782 in Mecklenburg County, VA. [Group Sheet]

1. Elsworth BAYNES was born on 27 Sep 1783; died in 1814.
2. Sarah BAYNES was born on 7 Feb 1786; and died.

Notes:

John Baynes is in Mecklenburg County (Virginia) in the Census of 1780. It shows his household with 11 white persons and one black. We know of five of those people: John and wife and three children.
John names sons Thornton and Philip in land trasactions (1802 & 1808). A daughter Nancy is mentioned in James Yancey's will in 1777. Those are the three children we KNOW.
John refers to himself as John SENIOR in the land transactions noted above and at the James Yancey estate sale in 1779, a John Baynes JUNIOR buys a snuff box. That adds a probable sixth person.
Eaton Baynes names Philip Baynes as bondsman in his marriage. Both Stephen Wall and I believes he is a brother. That makes seven.
That means there could be four more children. Possibilities include James, Polly, Fanney & Isabella all of whom are married in Caswell County between 1810 and 1819. But we have no evidence and in fact, its quite possible they are Philp's children.
One other note, one of John Baynes Senior's daughters marries Joshua Westbrook. On 13 Oct 1803 (DB11 P494) Baynes gives Westbrook a slave. He clearly identifies Westbrook as his son-in-law.

John married Mary YANCEY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Mr. Yancey's will is dated 1777 and the estate is settled in 1779.
