HAYNESVILLE
By Joyce B. Dobbins
Historical records reveal the earliest settler in the Haynesville
community to be a Widow Long who established a residence in 1818, but she
moved very shortly to Arkansas. Not until some twenty-five or thirty years
later was there to be a tidal wave of migration into this area. J. C. Wasson
and L. S. Fuller came in 1844, Hiram Brown in 1845, Miles Buford and Samuel
Boyd in 1846. In 1848 J. C. Taylor migrated from Georgia and settled in the
community now known as Old Town, buying 160 acres of land at 75 cents per
acre from the government and establishing a small country store, so that
Haynesville was first known as Taylor's Store. J. C. Taylor expanded his
business enterprises and donated land for the first Methodist Church,
cemetery, and school house built in 1860. The school's first teachers were
Tarpley Winn and Thomas Beck.

Haynesville, formerly known as Taylor's Store, dates back to 1848, when
J. C. Taylor established his business here. Prior to that date, 1843,
Hiram Brown had located close by, also J. C. Wasson and L. S. Fuller,
in 1844. In 1846 Miles Buford and Samuel Boyd cast their fortunes in
this settlement, and in 1849 Henry Taylor came among them. Yearly the
settlement increased in numbers, and farms, large and small, were
opened. In consequence of this increase in population and agriculture,
William W. and J. L. Brown began a mercantile business next door to
Taylor. Sam Kirkpatrick and Dr. Wroten opened a drug business.
