Luther Haven was our first citizen of this name. He first appears on our tax-list in 1801. His homestead, previously Dr. Lazarus Ball's, is situated on Haven St., far up the No. Purchase toward Hop. line. He prob. became pos- sessed of it in 1801 or thereabouts. It is the same now owned by his son Isaac C. Haven. These Havens are descendants of Richard Haven, who is said to have come from the west of Eng., and set. in Lynn in 1644. I therefore assume the said Richard to have been their immigrant ancestor, and state their lineage accordingly.

The homestead of Mr. Haven was a portion of the lands bought of William Brown in 1742 by Josiah and Peter Ball. I think it was a part of Peter's divis- ion. But he sold out to Josiah, his bro., who willed it to his son, Dr. Lazarus Ball, from whom it passed, directly or indirectly, into Haven's possession. I knew Mr. H. personally. He always seemed and was spoken of as a very worthy man in all the relations of life, and his family sustained the same good reputation.

LEWIS, b. Saxonville, March 15, 1849.
Mr. Hayden and family came to res. in Mil. about the 1st of April, 1850, since which they have been steadily engaged in honest and laudable pursuits. Mr. H. has latterly been serving as watchman in the straw-goods manufactory of Benjamin H. Spaulding & Co. Their only son, Lewis Hayden, Esq., has been with George G. Parker, Esq., in his law-office, since Nov., 1872. In June, 1874, he was commissioned, by Gov. Talbot, as justice of the peace. In March, 1881, he was elected town-clerk, in which responsible position he has since been actively officiating to the general satisfaction.
The Haydens were somewhat numerous, from early times, in Hop .; and thence more or less of them have at different periods become dwellers on our territory. CATE HAYDEN, and her drs., CATE and LUCY, came to live with Edmund Bowker, March 27, 1787, and were warned out of town in 1791. At the same time, GILBERT HAYDEN lived with David Stearns, and was warned out. Several of our citizens m. Haydens for wives.

HAYWARD-HOWARD. These are somewhat interchangeable names, of the same origin, and capriciously varied by the spelling. They are a com- pound of two words: the French word haie, hedge, and the Saxon waurd, a watchman, guard, or keeper. The old royal and noble families of Europe had officers whose duty it was to keep watch over, superintend, and keep in repair, the hedges that protected from cattle and other intruders their masters' grain- fields, grass-grounds, and gardens. Those offices were styled haie-waurds, or, as the Danish descendants wrote it, hoe-waurds. Hence Haieward and Hoe- ward, - Hayward and Howard. It seems that the Howards of England were among its ancient nobles, as Pope implies, where he says, -
" What can ennoble sots, or slaves, or cowards ? Alas ! not all the blood of all the HOWARDS."
The office of haiewaurd was undoubtedly one of great honor in feudal times, especially in connection with the households of royal families. The name was, and I presume still is, quite common in Eng. ; as it has come to be in this coun- try. And from time immemorial it has been ordinarily pronounced with a diph- thongal sound variously broad as in aw, up to the more open and flat ow, as in now. The written orthography, as of many other names, has been according to each old scribe's fancy. At one time Haw-ard, at another How-ard, at another Haie-ward, then Hayward, etc. And whenever any head of a family took a notion to change the spelling from Haward or Hayward, to Howard, he did so; and his posterity followed suit. This has been the case in Mil., since the be- ginning of the present century, in several instances. The ancestral name was Hayward; but, since the orthographical change was made, whole lineages have

become Howards in all our records. This mixes things up so badly, that my only course must be to treat the names as synonymous, and run them along as they occur.
As nearly as I can trace them, our Haywards and Howards all descended from three brothers who came from Swanzey. Their ancestors were of Bridge- water; but farther back I had not the means of going without too much cost and trouble .* The oldest of thesc bros. was Samuel Hayward. He planted himself in the town-seat of Mendon, by purchasing of Mrs. Mary Tapping and her son John a 20-ac. house-lot, with all its rights to future divisions of com- mon. The deed is dated April 6, 1672. At the same time, he was already seised of a 20-ac. lot, as an original Mendon proprietor. This made him a 40-ac. lot owner, and of course entitled him to very large dividends of the common lands. Large tracts of these he had laid out to him on our territory, to the amount of between 500 and 1,000 acs. Most of this land lay in one general body, extending from Sherborn road, opposite the present Mansion House, easterly of Joseph Sumner's estate, all the way down southerly to the " Upper Mill Plain," then so called; that is, as far south as where Plain St. forks off from So. Main St. In width this tract must have been between one-third and half a mile wide, extending to the river eastward, and in places over the river. Elsewhere he took up numerous smaller parcels.
The next oldest bro. was William Hayward. In 1700 and 1701 he, then being of Swanzey, bought several hundred acres of the Rawson land in No. Bellingham, adjacent to our territory. Some 3,000 acs. of land were granted to Secretary Rawson, the first Edward, by Gen. Court, in consideration of his unrequited public services. He extinguished the Indian title to this tract, and took a deed. It was annexed to Mendon for government, and so remained till 1719, when it was made a part of Bellingham. The land William Hayward bought was a part of this Rawson tract, or "Farm " as then called. At the same time, Thomas Sanford of Swanzey and Thomas Burch of Bristol made large purchases, side by side with Hayward, of this Rawson land. It soon got the title of "The Farms," being then owned in a few large farms. There Wil- liam Hayward settled himself and his chn. Of course, being closely connected with our territory geographically and municipally, the cousins naturally com- mingled. I observed that in the Rawson deeds to William his name was written in one instance Howard, but wherever clse it occurred Hayward.
The youngest of these bros. was Jonathan Hayward. He came into this quarter while yet under age, and res. with Samuel Thayer, as appears from the following recorded entry: "Samuel Thayer gave Bond [Jan. 28, 1692] for Jonathan Hayward of Swanzey, resident with him." The bond was to hold the town harmless from cost for Hayward's maintenance. "Jan. 3, 1707, there was laid out, of Samuel Hayward's fifth division, twelve acres, to his Brother Jonathan Hayward, on both sides of Sherborn road East of Bcar Hill." Jona- than settled north-cast of Bear Hill, near the "Great Meadow," so called, and there became a comparatively rich man.
I must now endeavor to trace the lineages of these three patriarchis, at lcast so far as Milford is concerned. This is rendered somewhat difficult by
* Since the foregoing was written, I have had the pleasure of an interview with Hon. Alphonso Taft, who, on one side of his ancestry, inherits the blood and traditions of these Hay- wards. It has been handed down to him, that the parents of the first Samuel in Mendon were William and Margery (Thayer) Hayward of Braintree. Perhaps this was so. But, if so, William Jonathan certainly hailed from Swanzey at the dates by me specified in this connection.

I think William, the eldest son, never dwelt on our territory, but in old Mendon always. Samuel, jun., intended permanent settlement here; and his father deeded him a handsome farm in what has sometimes been called How- ardtown, dated Jan. 3, 1706: but he d. May 16, 1708, a bachelor; and his bro. Jonathan set. his est. as administrator. This Jonathan, next oldest son of Samuel and Mehetabel, inherited an ample amount of his father's lands in Howardtown, and became the progenitor of a numerous posterity. Benjamin, the youngest son, as I understand the records, also located near our Parish Centre, a little to the south-east; though my friend, the late Alex. H. Allen, whom I employed to do much transcribing as well as research for me, doubted his ever actually dwelling here. Samuel, the fr., d.

This Jonathan Hayward, jun., resided in the near vicinity of what I have called Howardtown, - somewhat northerly, perhaps. He was a conspicuous man in the Precinct for several yrs. after its organization; often presiding at its regular meetings, and serving on its executive committee. (Some doubts arose in my mind, after penning the last preceding sentence. See what I say, farther along, about the Beaver-st. Jonathan Hayward, jun.)
I find myself puzzled to trace the parental heads of this family down to the close of their mortal lives, and must leave the matter to more competent explorers.
