Northamptonshire / Re: Marriage Record

From what I have gathered from my research here on this side of the pond is that Richard Haines' family Bible starts with his marriage records and his children. The Bible was published in 1681, just one year before he left. From all the research I have scraped together I feel his father shuned him for becoming a puriton and disowned him. I found a will that I believe is Richard's father and though a Richard is the eldest child he is only left 10 Pnc. and the younger siblings inhieret a very, very large amount of land and money "some of the land was free will land granted by the King". This will is dated only months before Richard sailed for the America's. I think it was the deciding factor for Richard to leave and why I can not connect the dots any further. None of his children's Bibles mentions any family beyond their father and mother. So my research is now around any birth record of Richard Haynes born around 1634, I then trace all I can find in looking for a will for that Richard, If I find a will I know it is not the one I am looking for. So he gets crossed off the list and I keep looking.
