This John Hayward 3 m., for his 1st wf., a second cousin, a gd. dr. of his gd. fr.'s youngest bro., Jonathan Hayward 1st; so these two lincages inter- locked. He set. on the east side of Bear Hill, in the immediate neighborhood of the first Jonathan's descendants. I have found nothing more perplexing than these Hayward lineages, with so many Samuels, Jonathans, Johns, and Williams; and if I cannot disentangle them correctly, I hope to be excused. This John Hayward d. June 20, 1794, a. 75 yrs. and 6 mos. Mrs. Margaret, his wid., d. Sept. 23, 1813, a. 88 yrs.

EPHRAIM, b. Sept. 15, 1752; m. Sarah Wedge, Dec. 3, 1787.
It does not appear that David and Joanna Hayward ever had any other offspring than this Ephraim. They dwelt on the west side of now Plain St., just south of where Mill St. forks off from Plain. See Abandoned Home-sites, No. 18, Chap. XV. Jonathan Hayward, father of David, owned a considerable tract of land west of Plain St. and south-west of Mill St. ; and on this tract, or a part of it, he settled David. David d. July 11, 1801. Mrs. Joanna, his wid., d. June 23, 1803.

ยท I do not seem to get hold of any facts or indications that enable me to speak more definitely of this Daniel Hayward. He appears to have been the youngest son of Jonathan 2d. I doubt if he had a homestead on our territory. If he had, I cannot locate him. He d. May 29, 1798, a. 74 yrs. and 11 mos. Mrs. Martha, his wid., d. July 4, 1807, a. 84 yrs.

This Benjamin was the youngest son of Samuel, the Mendon patriarch. In the yr. 1708 his fr., in consideration of a moderate annuity, deeded him a

large farm situated on " both sides of Second Bridge River" (Charles). This included a considerable northerly section of the lands his fr. had taken up out of common, extending from opposite the present Mansion House down through Howardtown to the border of So. Milford district. He dwelt at what for the last 50 yrs. has been known as the Nathan Wood place. He was one of the original members of the Cong. ch. formed here in 1741.
I get no clew to the death-dates of the parents.

EXPERIENCE, b. date not found, perhaps 1738; m. Obadiah Wood, Nov. 22, 1759.
I have put Experience last, because I found no birth-date for her, and only discovered that she ought to stand first on ascertaining and considering the date of her mge. This Benjamin, jun., dwelt on his inherited homestead, the Nathan Wood place. He also was an original member of our Cong. ch. formed in 1741. His fr. and himself, one or both, had diminished their patrimony somne- what by successive sales at the north end, near the old meeting-house common ; and in 1760, the next yr. after his dr. Experience's mge., he sold the southerly portion of his farm to her hus., Obadiah Wood, together with the westerly half of his dwelling-house. And I presume that Wood presently took up his abode on the premises. Whether this Benjamin was m. to a 2d wf., I do not under- stand. No d. of a wf. found. He d. Oct. 29, 1783.

THOMAS, b. Jan. 6, 1755.
Thomas 3 inherited the south-easterly part of his fr.'s farm, and dwelt for a time not far from where William Wilkinson now does; but he sold his place about 1755 to Capt. Samuel Hayward, and emigrated to some other locality, - whither I cannot trace his family.

I am unable to locate, or give the history of, this family.
Just after my interview with Hon. Alphonso Taft, referred to in my pre- ceding foot-note, he kindly sent me a sketch of the Hayward genealogy as handed down to him through his fr. In some particulars it agrees with the foregoing tabulations, but in others differs irreconcilably. I thought it im- practicable to reconstruct my arrangement of lineages and data on the basis of his sketch, as there were important points on which I should have to set aside what seem to be reliable records. He makes the first Benjamin Hayward on

our territory to have been the son of William Hayward, eldest son of the first Mendon Samuel, and not the youngest son of that Samuel, as I am obliged to consider him. But it seems to me that the old records sustain my conclusion rather than his; so I must leave others to investigate the matter, and judge. I am sensible of my incompetency to master the difficulties involved in this and other similar cases. In respect to the family of Benjamin Hayward, jun., I acknowledge myself indebted to Judge Taft for valuable information. He says there were several other chn. besides those I have named: -
DEPENDENCE, who m. Esther Wood.
PAUL and SILAS, whom I infer were twins.
ELI, who m. a Wid. Street.
LEVI, b. Sept. 15, 1752, who m. Bethiah Chapin, May 28, 1776.
NATHAN, who m. Mercy Holbrook in Vt .; and CALVIN, who m. Hannah Wellman.
All the sons, except Ralph, emigrated to Townshend and Jamaica, Wind- ham Co., Vt., where many of their descendants now are.

After this I find no trace of Elihu and family on our records. I therefore infer that he emigrated from town, perhaps to Pelham. Later, I learn, from probate records, that he d. in Northbridge, 1810 to 1812. Prob. Mrs. Trial d. there too.

Zuriel Howard dwelt long and d. on the homestead afterwards owned by Sylvanus Adams. Howard bought the place of Ephraim Chapin in 1801. He was a worthy and trusted citizen. He rose from the ranks in the Mil. Artillery Co. to be its captain; and thence to be commander of the battalion to which that co. belonged. His family had a reputable social standing, as I might justly have said of the other kindred families. There is an anecdote afloat, for the truth of which I will not vouch, that, while serving as juryman at a Worcester court, the clerk so disgusted him by calling his name with a protracted emphasis, H-a-y-w-a-r-d, as to resolve him ever afterwards to write it Howard. Be this as it may, for some reason he made the change; and his chn. followed suit. Maj. Howard d. Aug. 24, 1851. Miss Olive, his wid., d. Jan. 20, 1871.
