EDWARD MESSENGER (1650) had three children. He lived at Greenfield, now Bloomfield.
THOMAS MOORE (1639), from Dorchester, had a lot granted to him eleven rods wide.

These were sold, 1638, to Matthew Allen, of Hartford, who came here and occupied them.

THE HAYDEN HOMESTEAD.
The Levi Hayden house, of which a cut is given above, is located in Windsor, at " Hayden's," half a mile from the site of the original William Hayden house. It was built in 1737 by Samuel Hayden, a great-grandson of William. The late Levi Hayden was born here in 1773, and his family still occupy the house. The forest oak which overshadows it is doubtless much older than the building; its trunk is four feet in diameter, and its branches spread nearly ninety feet.

WINDSOR LOCKS.
BY JABEZ II. HAYDEN, ESQ.
W INDSOR LOCKS formerly constituted that part of the town of Windsor called Pinemeadow. The meadow itself lies at the southeastern extremity of the present town, about two miles from the centre of the village. The village is situated on the Connecti- cut River, twelve miles above Hartford. The Enfield Falls Canal was completed in 1829, and the Connecticut River Company, anticipating the building up of a manufacturing village here, wished to associate their work with the name of the coming town. The upper end of the canal, with its head lock, was in the town of Suffield; the lower end, with its series of locks, in Windsor, -hence the name of Windsor Locks. A post-office established in 1833 gave the name official recog- nition. The village was set off from Windsor as a separate town in 1854. No evidence appears that a single family of Indians lived within the limits of this town when the first English settlement was made at Windsor, though abundant testimony has been found that they once occupied and doubtless cultivated this meadow. Within the recollec- tion of the writer there have been repeated discoveries of Indian graves in and around the meadow. Fifty years ago a small copper kettle (European) holding about three gills was found in one ; and quite re- cently two Indian skeletons were uncovered, and with them were found beads of copper and bone, bugles of pottery, and implements of stone consisting of arrow-heads, axes, knives, etc., and two stone whistles. A hundred years ago the writer's father ploughed up in the meadow a stone vessel the capacity of which was about one gallon.
The village occupies the northeastern portion of the town, and has a moderately productive soil. The western part of the town is a plain, with a light, sandy soil. Much of it was cultivated in rye and corn sixty years ago, but many of the fields have since been left to grow up to wood. The plains are seamed with ravines, in which run the clearest brooks, once well stocked with trout. Across this plain, at the head of these ravines, once ran the " old country road," the first road opened on the west side of the river between the settlements of Connecticut and Massachusetts, laid out there because it required no bridges, and little labor to work it. This remained the great thoroughfare nearly one hundred and ninety years ; parts of it now are overgrown with weeds.
The first distribution of land in Pinemeadow was eighty rods in width on the river, and included all the meadow land and a few lots adjoining the meadow. A lot a quarter of a mile wide, bounding on

the river and extending from about the middle of the meadow on the south to about forty rods north of the railroad depot, was originally set to Thomas Ford, of Windsor. In 1663 he sold it to Henry, son of Nicholas Denslow, who built his house here, probably the same year, at " the higher end of Pinemeadow." He brought his family here, where they lived alone (their nearest neighbor being William Hayden, two miles away ) until the breaking out of King Philip's War; then they fled to Windsor. Tradition says he ventured back alone, against the entreaties of his friends. He was captured and killed by the party of Indians who afterward burned Simsbury.1 His death probably oc- curred March 25, 1676 (April 4, N.S.). The site of his house was marked with a flint bowlder, suitably inscribed, on the two hundredth anniversary of his death. After the war the family -one son of seven- teen, the widow, and seven daughters - returned, and lived here twelve years more, without nearer neighbors than before. The son continued to live on the spot until his death at a good old age, and two of his sons, Samuel and Joseph, built houses and remained on the homestead. The descendants of Henry Denslow still Lanc Benslow own the site of the first house and a part of the original farm. In 1678 Nathaniel Gaylord, grandson of Deacon William Gay- lord, of Windsor, settled near the present site of Wilbert Gaylord's house, on the west side of the meadow; the family have continued to occupy the place to the present time.
