Life History

Notes

• D B Haines appears to have died before the 1860 census.  His only daughter Mary is found in the household of her grandmother Felicita (Félicité) Dumond, at age 12.   D B's wife Mannett Dumont/Dumond died in 1849, according to one genealogy, by Patrick Noonan.
  
  In the 1840 census, a Haines family, headed by B D Haines, is found two doors down from Félicité's family (listed under the name of her eldest son still at home, Lewis Dumont).  It seems likely that the D B Haines that Félicité's daughter Mannett married was a son of that B D Haines.

  The only D B Haines I have found in the 1850 census in Arkansas Post, Arkansas County, Arkansas, is age 35 with a wife named Frances, also 35 [b abt 1815].  The older children in tn their household is are named Stillwell, indicating Frances was previously married to a Stillwell.  One child named Haines is reported, Mary F Haines, age 3.
  
  This appears to be the Mary Haines that genealogies report as the child of D B  Haines and Manet Dumond.  If Manett Dumond Haines died, as reported by some genealogies, about 1849, this would fit that scenario.  Mary Haines here would be, as also reported in the genealogies, the daughter of Manett, who died in childbirth or in the next few months.  After her death, D B married widow Frances Stillwell.
