HOWARD AND HAYWARD.

Having presented the best exposition I could of Samuel Hayward's descend- ants on our territory, I shall waive the lineage of his next younger brother, Wil- liam, who set. about the year 1700, or a little later, on "The Farms," so called. I do so because-although that part of Bellingham was under the municipal control of Mendon till 1719, and had its marriages, births, and deaths recorded in common with ours, until set off with Bell. - I find it almost impossible to decide whether any of his progeny dwelt within our present limits. It is not improbable that some of them did; but, if so, I cannot discover who of them did, so as to distinguish them from their cousins on our side of the line. They abounded in Samuels, Jonathans, Williams, etc. ; and I must leave the whole lineage to be ascertained and described by some smarter genealogist than myself. The labor is too perplexing for me, and would cost the town too much, were I disposed to perform it. I therefore take up the
LINEAGE OF JONATHAN HAYWARD, YOUNGEST BROTHER OF SAMUEL.
He was from Swanzey, and came into these parts, as already told, while he was yet a minor, as far back as 1692. He soon began to take up common lands, and before 1710 located himself north-east of Bear Hill, in the near vicinity of the "Great Meadow." He there became quite a large landholder, prob. to the extent of several hundred acres; stretching, in greater or less width, from Sher- born Road southerly, along Beaver St., to a considerable distance beyond the junction of Mt. Pleasant St. He m., 1st, Trial Rockwood, dr. of the first John Rockwood of Mendon, b. 1676 or 1677. They had 3 chn. recorded in Men- don, -

JONATHAN, Jun., b. April 8, 1699; m. Lydia Albee, Jan. 22, 1717.

SARAH, b. April 25, 1718.
I suspect there may have been other chn. ; but I have found myself unable to trace the family further, except as seen below. Nor have I found the death- dates of the parents. So I leave much to be done by the explorer who may undertake to master this Hayward genealogy. It is too complicated for me. HAYWARD, JONATHAN 3d 2 (sometimes called jun., perhaps; Jonathan from
Swanzey 1), b. April 8, 1699; m., young, Lydia Albee, dr. of James and Hannah (Cook) Albee, birth-date not found; cer. Jan. 22, 1716-17. Their chn .:-

This Jonathan Hayward 3d, alias jun., dwelt where our Elias Whitney owns an estate that came down to him from his gt. gd. fr., the first Elias Whit- ney. It lay adjacent to the junction of Mt. Pleasant and Beaver Sts., and prob- ably consisted mostly of lands that had belonged to his father. There were at that time certainly three, if not four, Jonathan Haywards on our territory, all men of considerable influence, and whom I have been greatly puzzled to dis- tinguish from each other. I have found one instance in which this Beaver-st. Jonathan, jun., was called Jonathan 2d; but it was some time after the death of his fr., whom I will call " Great-meadow" Jonathan. When treating of the Howardtown Jonathan, jun., I supposed he must be the Jonathan Hayward, jun., that was so influential during the first seven yrs. of our Precinct, pre- siding often as moderator, and serving on the executive committee; but, after more examination, I think it possible I have mistaken the man, and that the Beaver-st. Jonathan may have been the moderator and committeeman. Let those decide more positively who are more competent. This Beaver-st. Jona- than appears to have d. Nov. 24, 1750; and his wid., Mrs. Lydia, administered on his est. He left considerable real and personal property. In the inventory of his est. I noted an item which some of my readers may deem memorable; viz., "One old negro fellow, with his bed and bedding, £1. 6s. Sd." See B. 4, p. 10, Worcester Registry of Probate. This may remind the present and coming generations that we once had a speck of chattel slavery on our territory. In fact, there were several such specks hereabouts. It seems that Mrs. Lydia (Albee) Hayward, the wid. of this Jonathan, d. in Douglas, Oct. 3, 1776. Prob- ably she spent her last days with some child or chn. who had emigrated to that town. She was a gd. dr. of Benjamin Albee, the old surveyor and corn-miller. HAYWARD, OLIVER 3 (Beaver-st. Jonathan,2 Great-meadow Jonathan1), b.
Aug. 21, 1719; m. Sarah Braddock, ptge., birth-date, etc., not ascertained; cer. Nov. 3, 1746. His father disliked the match, and forbade the banns. But Oliver brought the natter before Daniel Taft and John Harwood, two Mendon justices of the peace; and they summoned the parties before them. The father would not appear in person, but sent his reasons in writing. The court sat Nov. 3, 1746, tried the case, and decided that the fr. offered no sufficient reasons against the marriage; whereupon Justice Taft married Oliver and Sarah on the spot. I find the following names on record as the issue of this mge. : --
ELIZABETH, b. Dec. 3, 1747.
OLIVER, Jun., b. July 8, 1749.
LYDIA, bap. Feb. 10, 1750-51.
ICHABOD, bap. Dec. 6, O. S., 1752; m. Marcy Harvey, 1772; no further traced. JOSHUA, bap. May 17, N. S., 1755; m. Anna Hiscock, Hop., Nov. 11, 1777; set. in Hop.
SIMEON, bap. May 15, N. S., 1757; untraced.
When did Oliver, the hus. and fr., die ? or what became of him? I have found it difficult to trace the outgoings and local abodes of this family. The mr. and her son Oliver, jun., became poor, and had to be cared for by the town. The wid. Sarah d. June 18, 1810, a. 92. Oliver d. Feb. 9, 1812. Of Elizabeth, Lydia, Ichabod, and Simeon, I have no information.

HAYWARD FAMILIES.
Joshua, who m. Anna Hiscock, and set. in Hop., as above, had, I learn, 7 or 8 chin. b. in that town, but all of whom scattered in various directions as they came to maturity. He had a son Levi, who studied medicine, and practised his profession many yrs. in Edmeston, Otsego County, N.Y., where at length he d. He had another son, Isaac, who also studied medicine, with his bro. Levi, and practised some 10 or 12 yrs. in Sherburn and Columbia, N.Y. Later he entered the Universalist ministry, preached 3 or 4 yrs., was ordained and set. at Burlington, N.Y., where he d. Jan. 15, 1839. It so happens that I am fur- nished with Rev. Isaac Hayward's family record, by Mrs. Mary Ann (Hayward) Soule, one of his surviving drs. Her widowed mr. and most of her chn. became residents of Hopedale more than 20 yrs. ago. Several of them and she herself d. here. The following is the family record : -

James Hayward 3 inherited his fr.'s homestead at the junction of Beaver and Mt. Pleasant Sts., which he sold to our first Elias Whitney, June 12, 1764. After this I seem to lose track of him, and suspect he must have emigrated with his family to some other locality. It has been suggested, by some one, that he moved to Northbridge; but this I have not verified. I think the whole family must have left town. Jonathan, who set. in Upton, is the only one I have the means of tracing; and I may as well give his record here, as some of his descendants liave become our citizens.

HAYWARD FAMILIES.
There are 2 gd. chn .; viz., Cora Sadie Ballou, b. Mil., Sept. 20, 1872, and William Austin Ballou, b. Mil., Feb. 12, 1876.
Mr. Hayward and family are too well and reputably known in business and social circles to need characterization. He is a very enterprising, active, and trustworthy citizen. He is also an influential and devoted member of the Masonic Fraternity.
HAYWARD, WILLIAM A.6 (Elias, Jonathan,4 James,8 Beaver-st. Jonathan,2 Great-meadow Jonathan1), b. Upton, July 26, 1823; m. Betsey ( Thomas) Newcomb, dr. of Nathaniel and Betsey (Lincoln) Newconb, b. in Norton,
April 5, 1823 ; cer. Norton, April 17, 1844, by Rev. Richard Sweet. Issue :- HATTIE B., b. Mil., June 26, 1846; m. Dr. Pratt of Harlem, N.Y., 1881.
Mr. H. came into Mil. perhaps in 1842, at first as a school-teacher, then as store-keeper with Dea. Nathaniel Torrey for a short time, and then went into mercantile business on a larger scale under his own sole management. He was eminently enterprising, and made things lively in whatever direction he turned his ambition. Inside and outside of his special sphere he was conspicuously active, promoting public improvements as well as his own personal success. He took a leading part in getting "The Milford Journal" started, publishing first one or two transient advertising sheets in several numbers. He also pub- lished in 1846 and 1847 our two earliest primer-like directories. Milford is more indebted to him for his useful activities than I have space, time, or accu- rate information to tell.
I now return to the next oldest branch of Great-meadow Jonathan Hay- ward's posterity that seems to be within my reaclı, for I cannot track several of the branches.

Jacob Hayward was a cooper by trade, and a farmer. I have been told that he dwelt in early manhood on now Mt. Pleasant St., at what became known as the Ephraim Daniels place, a little east of the junction of Central St. with Mt. Pleasant. I have designated the ruins of the old dwelling-house there as No. 6 in my list of Abandoned Home-sites. Later in life he set. on a homestead in the valley, which, in our times, has been designated as the Lewis Hayward place, a little east of where Medway St. crosses Beaver. His old house is still stand- ing. This is on the very verge of the famous "Great Meadow," where his gd. fr. Jonathan first set., or certainly in the near vicinity; and this is why I have called him Great-meadow Jonathan, to distinguish him from the other Jonathans. Jacob seems to have been of considerable account among his fellow-townsmen. He was for several yrs. constable, and held at different times various offices in his vicinage. Any wise, he seems to have been a very marriageable man. He d. Feb. 15, 1822. Mrs. Abigail, his 4th wf. and wid., d. June 26, 1839, in her 71st yr.
