Their Life
Jonathan was born the second of eight children to John Haines and Esther Borton. His parents were both born in England and so Jonathan was a first generation American. Mary's parents were also born in England and so she also was a first generation American. (See Matlack) They were married in Cherry Hill, then in Gloucester County, New Jersey in 1711. They had eight children. There are conflicting dates for Jonathan's death, some say 1728 and others 1729. He was either 39 or 40 when he died. Mary survived him and went on to marry Daniel Morgan in 1731. On the passing of her second husband, Mary lived with her son Jonathan and his family, at whose house she died of small pox. I find no mention of children between Mary and her second husband.
Haines House
This farmhouse is the oldest home in Medford Township and it is the
earliest frame dwelling in Burlington County still on its original stone
foundation. It was built on land patented to the builder's father,
Richard Haines, by the Duke of York (later King James II) on April 21,
1682. The west side of the house is the earliest section, built by John Haines prior to 1690. His son, Jonathan Haines (1),
added the east section in 1720. Another Haines "modernized" it in 1808
and still another Haines added a wraparound section circa 1840.
The property remained in the Haines family until 1919. A direct descendant of John Haines purchased the farm in 1972. Two different owners have seen a "resident ghost." The home was listed on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places in June 1976.
