**Note: The following are pension papers for J. B. Haynie
and wife, Ellen. We have seen no other indication that J. B. Haynie had
another wife after Louise Patterson. His daughter Ida never mentioned
another wife for her father - he was unmarried in 1900 and he died before the
census was taken in 1910. In all other Widows Pension Applications I have
seen, the widow had to prove she was married to the veteran. It seems that
Ellen was never questioned about her marriage, only about J. B. Haynie's
service. The hand written portion is highlighted in bold italic except the
last document which is all hand written. In some cases where there are no
dates I have left out the transmittal forms.

Examiner of Public Accounts

There is no record in this office of an organization known as
Company G, Walthall Battalion, C. S. A., and the name J. B. Haynie has not been
identified with any Confederate Organization.
The records show, however, that one Jesse b.
Hayney (name also borne as Jesse b. Hainey and as J. B. Haney), who may or may
not be the (? one according?). When the inquiry is made, Sergeant and
Private, Company B., 17th Alabama Infantry, C. S. A., aged 35 years, enlisted
April 9, 1862, at (Loachapoka?), Alabama. The muster roll of the company
covering the period from October 31, 1864, to February 28, 1865 (last roll on
file), shows him present. The name J. B. Haney, as a Private of the
organization named, appears on a roster dated April 10, 1865, of prisoners of
war belonging to the Army of Northern Virginia, who were surrendered on that
date (place of surrender not shown), and paroled at Appomattox C. H., Virginia,
April 9, 1865.
