William Francis Baker Haynesworth (1824-1905) was an attorney, judge advocate and prominent citizen of Sumter. The Sumter Banner held the distinction of being one of Sumter’s earliest and longest-running newspapers; several prominent citizens, including Haynsworth, had at times acted as editor and publisher. The Haynesworth family papers, heavily intertwined with the Furman family, are in the South Carolina Historical Society.
