One more Washington-Haynie connection

In the 18th century there was a young girl named (Sarah) Sally Ball Haynie; she and her mother Elizabeth Haynie were related to George Washington's mother, the former Mary Ball, and fell on hard times.  Washington helped to provide for her, including leaving her $300 in his will, which was quite a large sum in 1799.

This young woman was undoubtedly a cousin to our Haynie forebears.

Here is a link to a transcribed letter of personal advice written by the retired President to Miss Haynie in 1798:
