Sarah Ingersoll married William Haines circa 1644. They were the parents of three children: Jonathan Haines, Sarah Haines, and Thomas Haines. William Haines died sometime prior to November 1651. Sarah Ingersoll Haines, widow of William Haines, married Joseph Houlton, who, at an earlier time had been a servant in her father’s household, on November 13,1651 at Newberry, Massachusetts. They were seen later living in Salem Village on the Weston Grant property originally purchased by her father and William Haines. Their first child, Joseph Houlton Jr., was baptized on May 15, 1653, at the First Church of Salem. Sarah Ingersoll Haines Houlton was seen in church records as “Old Mrs. Houlton."

His wife, Sarah Ingersoll Haines Houlton, was not listed in his will. Prepared by James F. Haynes.

Comments

Historical records establish that William Haynes and his wife Sarah Ingersoll only had three children. Jonathan Haynes was born circa 1646, Sarah Haynes was born circa 1650, and Thomas Haynes was born in 1651. This information was determined through the research conducted by Paulette Haynes and Carlton Finch.

Re: Sarah Houlton should not be listed as the wife of William Haynes. His wife, Sarah Ingersoll, married Joseph Houlton after the death of William Haynes in 1651.

That’s a Geni Display issue in the time line tab only as of Sept 2019, and a known enhancement request to resolve.
