HARRINGTON AND HARRIS.
HARRINGTON, JEDEDIAH C., and wf. Sophia, whose antecedents I am unable to give, came to res. in town between 40 and 50 yrs. ago. He was a stage- proprietor, driver, and expressman several yrs. before our Branch R.R. to Framingham was built, and in the same line more or less afterwards. Mrs. Sophia, his wf., was long one of our leading milliners. I do not remember whether they had more than one child, -
ROXANA S., b. Mil., 1832; m. Ethan C. Claflin, Jan. 1, 1850.
Concerning the further history of the parents I am not informed.
HARRINGTON, SETH, and wf. Sarah, antecedents unknown to me, are cred- ited with the births of the 3 following-named chn. :-
DANIEL, b. April 12, 1837.
CHARLES R., b. April 18, 1838.
LORING, b. May 27, 1842.
HARRINGTON, DANIEL, an expert stone-layer, possibly a bro. of Seth, was much employed on jobs in his calling from 1835 to 1845. He had a family in this general vicinity, of whom I knew only his dr. AMELIA. She d. in Augustus Thayer's family, Dec. 8, 1858, a. 14 yrs.

Mr. H. has been actively engaged in the manufacture of boots here many yrs., either in the firm of Alden & Harrington, or on his own sole account. His bro. Bartholomew, a last-maker, and family, res. here several yrs .; but they removed hence to Worcester, I think, some time since.

This worthy pair devoted a large portion of their married life, with eminent success and approbation, to the care of poor-asylums. They served as superin- tendent and matron of our asylum from April 1, 1869, to April 1, 1880, winning general commendation from all parties concerned. They had previously given like satisfaction in the same offices at Oakham, Worcester, Upton, and Marl- boro'. But an inexorable disease fastened on Mr. H., toward the close of his 11 yrs. service in our asylum ; and he was obliged to seek retirement from his responsibilities. He did so none too soon; for he declined rapidly in his new home at Upton, where he d. May 18, 1880, a. 61 yrs. 3 mos. and 20 ds.

Harris, his wf., b. Charlton, April 9, 1804, were among the original mem- bers of the Community at Hopedale; and they moved into our ancient Jones domicile, from Millville, late in the yr. 1841. Thither Henry Lilley and family had preceded them some weeks earlier. These two families were our pioneers on the domain soon after its purchase. Harris and wf. brought with them 4 chn., having previously lost one by drowning. I can give the names of these 4, but not their birth-dates. They were PAMELIA, who afterwards m.

ADIN BALLOU HARRIS was b. in the "Old House," March 27, 1842. He was the 2d b. on the Community domain after its purchase. They had 1 more child here, EDWARD, b. Feb. 1, 1847; d. Aug. 1, 1849, a. 2 yrs. 7 mos. They withdrew from the community organization a few yrs. after its estab- lishment, purchased the land now owned by Delano Patrick, built them a home there, and managed business on their own account, though still affili- ating with us religiously. Mr. H. was an enterprising carpenter, built several honses on contract in the neighborhood, and started a steam lumber-mill in Mil. Centre, having entered into copartnership with Hiram Hunt and Cyrus Ballou for carrying on the lumber business by purchasing and clearing off timber-lots. But he met with a sad casualty. His plan- ing-machine knife flew from its gear, and smote off one of his arms. The catastrophe proved fatal, in spite of the best surgical skill and nursing. He lingered hopefully on a few weeks, but sunk at length, and d. May 29, 1850, a desolating event to his wid., family, and friends. I have good mementos of bim. In 1854, if I mistake not, the wid. and her surviving chn. removed to Illinois, since which I am too imperfectly informed to pursue their history.
HARRIS, MASON, a brother of Nathan, wf. Abbie S. (Aldrich), and two or three chn., res. at Hopedale for a season during the early stage of the Com- munity, and then returned to Smithfield, R.I., whence they came.
HARRIS, ALMON, another brother, with wf. and small family, bought, and built a home on, the ancient Ramsdell place, where John Mann now dwells. My recollection is, that they sold out, and moved to Ill., about the time wid. Nathan Harris did.
HARRIS, MOSES, and wf., with three or four chn., came into town perhaps between 1850 and 1854. He established a large furniture store, and then, or later, was in partnership with his cousin Joel W. Harris, under the firm title, "Moses Harris & Co." He at length sold out to his cousin Joel W., and removed to New York City, where he has since pursued his mercantile business. He and his family occupied a front social position. He was highly esteemed as a man and citizen. The family was repeatedly bereaved and sorely afflicted, while among us, in the loss of three chn. It would have afforded me pleasure to present his family record on these pages, but no one seemed ready to offer me the necessary information.
HARRIS, JOEL W., wf. Caroline G., and chn., came into town several yrs. later than his cousin Moses. My impression is, that both families were originally from the State of Me. He became his cousin's partner in busi- ness, and succeeded him as sole proprietor. I have tried hard to obtain his family record; but, though promised with some reluctance, I am dis- appointed, and obliged to do without it, except the little that casually came to my knowledge in other ways. They had, --

He does an exten- sive business in house-furnishing goods at 160 and 162 Main St. His family mansion occupies the site of the ancient Twitchell domicile, Congress St. ; and his son George L., wf., child, and the younger son, Irving, dwell with him. Mr. Harris stands high as a merchant, citizen, and member of society.

Family ancestry and standing worthy, and worthily sustained. Bethnel Harris, gd. fr. of our Bethuel E., said to be of Scottish origin, resided in Nel- son, N.H., and was celebrated as a manufacturer of woollen goods. His son Almon was no less enterprising, successful, and distinguished in the same line of business, in the same New Hampshire general vicinity. He was often select- man of his town; represented it in the Legislatures of 1864 and 1865; was a member of the Cong. ch. 44 yrs., deacon, supt. of Sunday-school, etc. By his wf. Phebe (Sheldon) he had 3 sons; viz., Ezra Sheldon, Bethuel Edwin, and Almon Ainger. Bethuel E. worked in his fr.'s woollen-mills till 21 yrs. of age. He went to Boston in Aug., 1851, and was employed by the firm of Sears & Johnson in their wholesale clothing-house five yrs. He came to Mil., March 16, 1856, and has long been engaged in the clothing business with good success. He inherits the enterprise and skill of his progenitors; has a large, richly-stocked establishment ; is an honorable, trustworthy dealer, and is deservedly respected as a merchant and citizen.

An eminently worthy family. The parents and several of the family became deeply interested in the preaching of Practical Christianity by the writer and others. These moved to Hopedale, and joined our Community ; viz., the parents and two drs. with their husbands. The fr. and mr. came here, I think, in 1854, and returned to Berlin perhaps in 1861. They were excellent persons, and adorned their profession by exemplary lives. Mr. Hartwell d. in Berlin, June 11, 1870; Mrs. Hartwell d.

I am uncertain whether William S. and George Edgar are in the order of their birth.

He was an enterprising, executive business man, square and upright in his dealings, and a worthy citizen. His whole family were of repu-

Mr. Hatch is an intelligent artist, a skilful photographer, and a worthy man, with a wf. of like character. They have res. in town some 16 yrs. He has recently suspended his operations here as a photographer.
HATCH, RHODOLPHO, bootmaker, was several yrs. in town; but I know noth- ing of his pedigree or family.
HAVEN. Moses Haven and wf. Abigail appear on the records of our Cong. ch. as having such a relationship to the saine; that they had 2 chn. bap. here; viz., John, July 24, 1757, and Mary, April 20, 1760. I presume they never res. on our territory. Those records credit Daniel Haven with a son bap. by Rev. Mr. Frost; viz., Asa, Sept. 5, 1762; but nothing is said about res.
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. Mr. H. held various town-offices during his citizenship among us, and won deserved public confidence. He d. in peace on his homestead, March 23, 1835. His worthy wid. d. Feb. 1, 1855.

Mrs. Susan d. W. Wrentham, July 8, 1872. Mr. H. survives unm., well advanced in yrs. He may hardly be called a citizen of Mil .; but as all his chn. are permanent inhabitants here, and he spends much of his time with them, it seemed proper to give his family record a place in this vol. He parted with an excellent wf., as above, is himself an exemplar of prudent life, and has brought up worthy chn. His sons ought to have sent me their respective records, as I tried to have them; and then this now incomplete statement would have shown to better advantage.
I know of no others bearing this name in town; but the reader will notice, under the name Holbrook, that Mrs. Roxana, wf. of Joel Holbrook, was a sister of Charles Hawes. Also, under the name Claflin, that Mrs. Samuel S., on School St., is a dr. of Malansa (Hawes) Thompson, who was another sister of uncle Charles.

HAYDEN, LUTHER, son of Luther and Betsey (Austin) Hayden, b. in Groton, April 14, 1818; m. Mary Elizabeth Rand, dr. of Aaron and Polly (Laman) Rand, b. Waterville, Me., April 24, 1822; cer. Dedham, Nov. 22, 1846, by Rev. John White. Issue: -
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, -
