1. ELEAZERI HATHORN lived in S., on what became the Martin Rugg farm, at 59. He bought it of Nahum Haven in 1814, and sold it to Martin Rugg in 1825.

Silas2, b. in Packersfield (Nelson), May 10, 1799 (son of former wife) ; the following ch. were by the second wife : 2. Josiah 2, b. in same place, July 2, 1811. 3. Eleazar2, b. in the same place, Jan. 31, 1814. He was probably the Eleazar who was father of Susan3 Hathorn, b. in Londonderry, Vt., ab. 1840; d. there, Dec. 31, 1869, who m., July 3, 1868, Lorenzo Schaffner, b. in Hunter, N.

Betsey Maria2, b. in S., at 59, Sept. 13, 1818. 6. Nathan2, b. in S., at 59, Apr. 19, 1821. On the chart of the old cemetery, a lot is assigned to E. Hathorn. Perhaps some infant, born between 1821 and his removal in 1825, survived its birth but a short time, or some other member of the family may have died. There is no Sullivan record of any death in the family.

Prentiss. Before her death, however, she had m. Zedekiah Haven for her second h. The date of her death is wrong upon her headstone in the old cem- etery at'S.

The first two were b. in Hopkinton, Mass., the remaining nine in Natick, Mass. They were : I. Asenath 5, b., Feb. 26, 1762; m. Abel Perry of Natick, Mass., and had seven ch. 2.

Nash lives, at 26; Mrs. John Mason, who was then living in the old house on the site of 27 ; and Mrs. Thomas Rider, who had just moved into a framed house that stood nearly on the site of 21, very nearly on the site of Hon. D. W. Rugg's house. The Lelands and Masons came to town in 1799. The Riders came in 1798. There is a tradition, related to the writer by Miss Patty Leland, that Davide Haven came also in the last part of 1799, to be near his sisters, and lived in a log house that stood quite near the site of the house of Lyman Davis, at 20, which the Riders had just left, having moved into their framed house at 21. David5 Haven lived in town so short a time that we shall only make a brief mention of his children. He had six by the first w. and eight by the second. The six by the former w. were the following : 1. Orasa 6 (a son), b. in Natick, Mass., Mar. 6, 1799; 2. Abigail6, b. in S., probably at the log house near the present site of 20, Oct. 25, 1801 ; 3.
