He graduated from Harvard Uni versity in 1656 and returned to England where he took~his m.a.' at Cambridge. He became a minister at Colchester and married Hanna. He was vicar of Stanaway near Copford Hall. His will was signed in Sept, 1670. Following his great grandfather's example, the next John sailed for America and lived the first winter in a cave on Rancocas Creek, near Lumberton, Burlington County, N. J. Haines port is named for this early pioneer. He was followed by his father and mother, Richard and Margaret, who sailed from Northamptonshire on 4-23-1682 on the ship Amity landing at Burlington with their five other children, Richard, William, Thomas, Mary and Joseph.
