I believe this is some of the information you are looking for....
Henry Haynor, born 1793, was one of several sons of Abram Hayner (spelling uncertain) who is believed to have been brought to America as a prisoner of war from Hesse. Tradition of Alice Haynor Bull (#C35) is that her ancestor was a German mercenary. England refused to transport these Hessian prisoners back; many of them migrated to Western Pennsylvania, being mistakenly called "Pennsylvania Dutch" because their language was a mixture of German and Dutch.

He moved to Saratoga Co., NY where he m(1) 14 Jan 1824 Roxy Clements, b 1809 Saratoga, NY, d 3 or 13 Feb 1845 in MI, d/o Albert Clements. By tradition, Albert's mother or father was of the Dutch royal line; the father went from PA to Dutchess County, NY about 1788. In 1837 Henry and Roxy Haynor moved to Michigan, traveling by the Erie Canal to Buffalo, then by boat across Lake Erie to Detroit, where they purchased a Conestoga wagon and drove across the state to Ionia County, 30 miles west of Grand Rapids. There they bought and cleared a 40-acre farm south of Dildine in Easton Township. Henry served as Highway Commissioner of his County and was reportedly a stockily built man; Roxy had blue eyes, dimples, and hair the color of honey. This couple had 5 children, listed below. Roxy Clements Haynor died at age 36 from blood poisoning contracted while nursing a sick neighbor; Henry remarried and had a daughter.
