Elijah Haynes was born in North Hero, May 23, 1804. He began his education in the neighborhood schools of his day. They were poorly equipped, but he had an avidity for learning, and he became so excellent a scholar that he was capable of teaching, and he busied himself in that calling in order to procure means for his subsequent entrance to the University of Vermont. After leaving that institution, he became a student in Clinton Medical College, at Plattsburg, New York. He entered upon practice in his native village, and was for many years the best known and most trusted physician throughout a large scope of country. He was one of the leading men of the county, and served as selectman, member of the circuit court, judge of probate, and member of the legislature. He was an exemplary man, and a consistent attendant at the Methodist Episcopal church. He died in 1864, at the age of sixty years. He was twice married. His first wife was Harriet Darrow, born in North Hero in 1814. She died at the age of twenty-four, having borne to her husband two children, of whom Benton Haynes alone came to maturity. Elijah Haynes married for his second wife Polly Ann Darrow, and she was the mother of four children Moses, Mary, who married Orris P. Knight; William, who became judge of probate at North Hero; and Luman E., who resides in Springfield, Vermont. The mother of these children long outlived her husband, and died at an extreme age.
