Elias Haines

A Merchant of New York City, his residence fronting the Battery, near what is now the corner of White Hall and South streets, where all his children were born. He supplied the stores in his native town, Hamburg, NJ with goods, and dealt with the iron men. With others, he obtained a grant of land in Florida from the Spanish, and spent large sums of money upon it, which was lost, as the Government refused to recognize the Spanish grant after the purchase by the United States.

married 1800 Mary Odgen

They had 7 children - Daniel, Sarah P., Sydney Phoenix, Mary Ogden, Robert Ogden, Elizabeth Ogden, Henrietta Brown
