Marcus D.L. Haynes
(Marcus DeLafayette Haynes) Born June 22, 1843, in Floyd County Virginia, he was a farmer who enlisted at Floyd County Courthouse September 16, 1861, at the age of 18. Taken Prisoner of War November 25, 1863, on retreat from Missionary Ridge Tennessee (per February 28, 1865 muster), he was sent to Rock Island Illinois, a prison camp located on the Mississippi River.

By the end of July 1864, the Confederate Cemetery had a population of over 1,300, fully two-thirds of the prisoner deaths that were to occur during the life of the camp, which had been in existence only eight months. It is estimated that the peak population of the camp, at one time, was about 8,600. On January 22, 1867, Lafayette married Elizabeth Frances Martin, at the home of Stokley Martin in Henry County Virginia. They had seven children:
