The following sketch of this admirable patriot and soldier is furnished us by his descendant, Rev. HORNE EDWARD HAYDEN of Wilkesbarre, Pa .:

" Lieut. Thomas Hayden's father was unfortunate in his second marriage. Having no issue, this second wife lavished his property on her two sons by a former marriage, and set them up in business with their step father's money. In 1260 her husband, Daniel Hayden, engaged, with another person, to furnish the British Gov- ernment with a large quantity of timber; but, owing to his partner's dishonesty, he lost so heavily by the venture that he was forced into insolvency. This threw his sons entirely on their own resources.

" Lieut. Thomas, when his school days were ended, learned the trade of a car- peuter, and became an architect and builder, occupations which, in those days, were not separated. Two of the houses, built and owned by him, two hundred years ago, still stand, admirable and substantial monuments of his ability. One. located on Palisado Green, Windsor, is now owned and occupied by his grand- daughter, Mrs. Gen. Ambrose Fowler. Mr. Hayden also owned and cultivated his paternal farm at Hayden's, But he was not permitted to spend his entire life in peaceful pursuits. When the clash of arms occurred at Lexington, April 19, 1775. he promptly rode express, carrying the news to Suffield (see p. 311, Vol. ] ), and was one of the Lexington Alarm party which left Windsor, under command of his cousin, Capt. Nathaniel Hayden. He served until July 17, 1775, when he became Sgl in the Simsbury Co., commanded by his brother-in law. Capt Ebenezer Fitch

THE HAYDEN FAMILY.

Bissell. His reputation as a soldier led to his selection as superintendent, in part. of the fortifications erected at Roxbury, Mass., during the siege of Boston. Before this, the attention of his colonel had been attracted by his diligence as a soldier, and promotion soon followed; he was app. Sgt .- Major in Sth Continental Regt (Col. Jedediah Huntington), Aug. 11, 75; 2d Lieut. in Capt. Hubbard's Co., With Reg't Foot, Col. Huntington, Jan. 1, '76, commis. signed by John Hancock; Adjutant of same Reg't, Oct. 20, 76: was recommended for promotion and made Ist Lient. in Col. Wyllys's Reg't, 1 .Jan., '77; was Adj't to Col. Zebulon Butler, in command of Conn. troops at Danbury, Apl. 8, '77. In Aug., "7, was on recruiting service at Windsor, for Capt. Ell's Co., Col. Wyllys's Reg't, then at Peekskill; took the Oath of Allegiance and was discharged, at his own request, Apl. 25, '78. This was prob- ably done at great sacrifice of pride and devotion to his country. But the occasion justified his action. It was taken at the most trying period in the history of Con. necticut during the Revolution. In that colony silver money was not to be had, and continental scrip was worthless. When he entered the army he left at home his wife and five young children, the eldest then just. 6 years old, and with no male person on the place to work the farm. An absence of three years in the field was not calculated to improve his estate; and the worthlessness of the paper money made his pay of little value to his family. With it his wife found it quite impossi- ble to buy even the necessaries of life for herself and children, all of whom were ill. She rode miles on horseback to procure meal or four for bread, and, failing in this, she sent for her husband to come home to his sick and needy family, which summons he obeyed by resigning his commission. By the proclamation of Gov. Trumbull, June 20, '82, calling for 18 companies of 96 men each for the Continental Army, Lieut. Hayden was again commis. first Lient. of Capt. John Francis's Co., Ist Conn. Reg't, Lieut .- Col. Hezekiah Sabin, Jr. His service, like that of the entire army, was virtually ended by the surrender of Cornwallis, Oet. 19, 182. During the following year he was enabled, by the Declaration of Peace, to return to his home and spend the rest of his days in tranquility. The writer of this sketch still owns five of his right commissions, the handsome sword, the watch, inkstand, and Order Book used by Lieut. Hayden in the Revol. War."

Lient. Hayden, we are toll by aged Windsor people, " was a tall man and tine- looking; but his wife was small in statore and weight, with a sweet face and most lovely disposition. She was always spoken of as an excellent wife, a kind neigh- bor, and in every way an estimable woman." In 1977, "Abigail, wife of Thomas Hayden, was adm, to the W. ch., under the Half Way Covenant."- No. C'h. Sin. Rer., 1767-91. Children :

Rev. Thos. E. Bond, D.D., LL. D., in an address before the students of the Dental College of Baltimore, and published in the Balt. Dental Journal, 1844, says, "he learned to read almost as soon as he did to talk, and at once contracted that fondness for books which was so remarkable in all his subsequent life. Such was his industry and systematic application that, of the age of four years he had read the Bible regularly through, and from early childhood to the day of his death the Bible was his favorite book, and he was al- ways a thorough student of the Word of God. While a hoy he also manifested a remarkable fondness for natural history, and frequently surprised his friends by the ingenuity and success with which he discovered objects of interest, while rambling through the fields and woods, a propensity remarkably exhibited in his after-life. At ten years of age he began the study of the classics, but, probably from want of means, soon abandoned it; but, at the age of 14, in the humble capacity of cabin- boy of a fine brig, he had the happiness of making two voyages to the West Indies, returning with renewed zest to his studies both of books and of natural objects. Obliged, by his circumstances, to leave school at the age of 16 and provide for his own maintenance, he became apprentice to an architect; and, although it was not

exactly what suited his tastes, he pursued his practical studies in this department of art with most commendable zeal and industry; and when, soon after coming of age (1790), he sought at Point Petre, Guadaloupe, in the West Indies, employment in his business, he succeeded very well, until compelled by the periodical lever to return to America. The next year brought him a similar experience; and there- after, for several years, he pursued his vocation in Connecticut, and subsequently in New York; during the winter of 1198 becoming the first tracher of the Ist North School District of Hartford.

About this time, however, he had occasion to call for professional work upon Dr. Greenwood, who had been Gen. Washington's dentist, and who was then the only regular dentist in the United States. During this interview he suddenly con ceived the idea of devoting himself to dental surgery. Bidding farewell to archi- tecture, and obtaining such information as he could from Dr. Greenwood's few books upon the subject, and from his instructions, he went, in 1504, to Baltimore, Md., without friends, and almost without money, and but imperfectly acquainted with his newly-chosen art. Dentistry was then but little introduced or practiced, and had little claim to be considered a science. To a man of Hayden's quickness and industry, it was a small thing to equal the best operators of the day. He aimed to do more - to elevate the employment to a parallel with his own abilities. With this view, he attended the Medical School of the Univ. of Md , and studied anat- omy and medicine so eagerly and fully that, though he did not graduate in medi- cine, he acquired such extensive knowledge in these departments of science, as to gain for himself the respect and confidence of the medical profession, and fully en- titled him to the honorary degree conferred on him, in later life, by the Jefferson College of Philadelphia, and by the University of Md., each of which institutions granted, without application on his part, the honorary degree of Doctor of Medi- cine. So respectable was his knowledge of surgery considered, as early as 1812, that, during the attack of the British upon Baltimore in 1814, his services were put in requisition as surgeon, and his kindness and skill were fully employed in caring for the wounded.

Rising rapidly in the public confidence, he also won the respect and intimacy of the medical profession of Maryland, and in 1809 was invited to read a course of lectures on Dentistry, before the Medical class of the I'niv. of Maryland - an honor never before, or since, conferred upon a practitioner of dentistry. In 1810 he was a member of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculties of Maryland, among whose du- ties was that of examining and licensing for the practice of medicine in that State. lle was also a valuable contributor to medical journals on matters surgical and den . tal. Next to Pathology and Physiology, his favorite study was Geology. Indeed, in 1780, when only 12 years old, he had witnessed and noted the effect of a great ice-tlood in the Con. River, by which the surrounding country was overflowed, and large masses of rock floated in ice-cakes to the meadows of the valley; and, in 1809, almost at the beginning of his practice in B., he investigated the mineralogi- cal and geological character of that vicinity, and, at request of its editor, pub. in the Bault. Med. and Philos, Lyceum (1810) a "Geological Sketch of Baltimore," in part subsequently reprinted in Silliman's Journal (1833), and referred to by Profes- sor J. P. Lesley, in his first. Survey of Penn., as "a model of careful description and accurate field work." It was near B. that he discovered that form of Chaba- site to which Prof. Silliman gave the name of " Haydenite."
