Haynes School was named for William Haynes, a local African American who made the land available on which the school was built. With T. Clinton Derricks as founding principal, Haynes began in 1931 as an elementary school with grades one through eight. Prior to the 1962 merger of the city and county governments, the only high school for African Americans in rural Davidson County began at Haynes in 1935 when the ninth grade was added. Grades ten through twelve were added by 1938. The last senior class graduated in 1967 and the junior high school program closed in 1970.

Example

For example, one family's tree showed the Articles of Confederation marker in Pennsylvania standing under a mile from where William Gabby lived in the 1760s.

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
