Was called Col. John the Indian fighter. He lived in Tygart's Valley near Beverly before settling at Bulltown about 1807. He built a mill and established a salt works. Three of their children married into Byrne family
History of Braxton County: He was in the Senate of Virginia in the sessions beginning in 1797, 1798, 1799, 1800 and 1801, the last session in which he served beginning on the 7th day of December, 1801 and ended January 2, 1801. It may be that John Haymond did not move to Braxton County until after the expiration of his term of office as member of the Virginia Senate but it is probable that he was still a member of that body when he moved to Bulltown.
History of West Virginia and the People Chapter XIV - Early Industrial Development in Western Virginia --Salt was made on the Little Kanawha river, at Bulltown, Braxton county, very early, but the works never reached size to compare with those in Kanawha and Mason counties. Bulltown was named from an Iroquois chief, Bull, who moved there in 1768 from western New York with a few families of his people. They were murdered four years later by settlers from what is now Lewis county. It has been said that those Indians made salt from saline springs on the bank of the Little Kanawha, but the quantity was very small. Soon after the murder of the Indians, settlers took up land in the region, and the salt springs became well known. About 1800 Colonel John Haymond moved to that place from Clarksburg and began the manufacture of salt soon after. He went down the little Kanawha and up the Ohio in canoes to Pittsburgh, where he procured kettles and carried them in his canoes to their destination and built his furnace. It was in operation nearly forty years.
The 1820 Lewis co census shows him with 4 members of his family engaged i n manufacturing.
History of West Virginia and the People, Chapter XXIX, Big Sandy River Region - Bulltown was named for Captain Bull, who headed the friendly Indians in Dunmore's war. Salt water here issued forth from the earth near the river at a very early day, and small quantities of salt were made as early as 1795, but no wells were bored until 1805, when Benjamin Wilson Jr. and the two Haymond brothers began drilling and established salt works that supplied the country for many miles around.
