HAMMOND. Among the petitioners for incorporating Swanzey in 1753, were Thomas, Jonathan, Joseph, Nathaniel, and Oliver Hammond, the first three of whom are known to be sons of Nathaniel Hammond. They were driven from their homes to Mass. by Indians, and sunk their iron utensils in their wells for security. They afterwards returned, but were frequently obliged to retire to the fort at Keene for safety. Joseph was Lieut. Colonel in Col. Ashley's Regiment sent to Ticonderoga July 1777; was also with the army at Otter Creek and Cambridge. Thomas, according to family tradition, m. Priscilla - Swanzey records say Martha -. Probably Martha was the first wife. His ch. were Aaron; Nathaniel, a physician d. Swanzey; Isaac was in the army at Cambridge, and rem. to Canada; and Bridget m. Joseph Ellis of Swanzey. Aaron was certainly the son of Martha.

HAYWARD. In ancient records this name is spelled Hayward, Heyward, Heywarde, Haward, HIawerd, Haeward, Haiward and other ways, but never Howard which was originally a distinct name. A family tradition says that our early ancestors came from Denmark and settled in Ireland. Tradition also states that the founders of this branch of the family were, when children, enticed on board ship at Dublin, and brought to this country where they were bound out to a farmer to pay their passage. They afterwards married and settled probably in Dedham, Mass. The first established fact is that in the early settlement of Mendon, Mass., there came thither from Dedham, Jonathan Hayward and Trial his wife. Their ch. were William, Jonathan, David, and Elizabeth. William b. Mendon, Mass. Jan. 30, 1696; d. Westmoreland (now Surry) Ang. 10, 1768; m. Joanna - b. Mass. 1686, d. Westmoreland (now Surry) Nov. 2, 1767. Their gravestones may be seen in the old burying ground in the south part of Surry. Their ch. were Martha, Peter, Joanna, Rachel, Daniel, and William. Joanna m. Benjamin Carpenter the first of that name in Surry. William also s. in Surry, on the Field place. Peter was the first settler (about 1752,) in what is now Surry, but then a corner of Westmoreland. The mother came on horseback carrying three little children, one in her lap, and the others in baskets hung on each side of the horse. The house he built is still in good repair. He was b. Mendon, Mass. 1725; d. Sorry Aug. 1, 1791; m. 1st Ruth Rutter of Mendon, Mass., who d. Surry Oct. 13, 1761. Her ch. were Peter; Deborah m. Nathaniel Dart; Huldah m. Jonathan Smith; Rachel m. Jonathan Carpenter; Silvanus ; and William m. Lucy Russell and rem. to Fryeburg, Me. Peter m. 2d Jan. 2, 1762 Esther Holmes of Ashford or Mansfield, Conn. She d. Surry May 28, 1782. Her ch. were Ruth m. Benjamin Carpenter Jr .; Molly m. Moses Field ; Calvin m. Lucinda Field ; Elias m. Sena Newton ; Sibyl m. 1st Daniel Smith, m. 2d Ezra Carpenter (q. v.); and Esther m. Solomon Mack (q. v.). Peter m. 3d May 6, 1783 Mrs. Hannah Fay.
