HESSELTON. HASELTINE OR HESELTINE FAMILIES.
In the early records of Wilton are found the names of Nathaniel and Nathan Haseltine .* Whether they were brothers or not, we have no evi- dence. From records of deeds and transcripts of roads, we learn that Nathaniel Haseltine owned and lived on the farm now owned by James Burton. He was chosen in 1774 surveyor of highways. He sold his land in 1776. We have found no record of his family. His name and that of Nathan Haseltine are signed to the resolve, dated June 3, 1776. "to defend by arms the united Colonies against the hostile attempts of the British Fleets and Armies." Among the papers left by the late Major Jonathan Burton the following items are found of services rendered in the army of the Revolution: "Nathan Haseltine four months by his son David in the three years' service. for which he paid after his son returned sixteen dollars." " David Haseltine four months in the three years' ser-
vice, personal." " Stephen Butterfield twelve months by Nathaniel Haseltine in the Canada voyage in 1776, for which he paid £2 2s." " Lt. Joseph Butterfield eighteen months in three years' service by David Heseltine, for which he paid £15." From the above we learn that Nathan Heseltine was the father of David, and probably of Nathan, Jun. David Heseltine m., June 19, 1782, Hannah. youngest dau. of John Cram, and settled in Vermont. We have no record of his children. The late Sumner Besselton was his grandson.
Sumner Hesselton came to Wilton in 1839; d. Jan. 5, 1885, aged 70 yrs .. 10 mos. He bought the farm east of Wilton Centre, formerly owned by Samuel Sheldon, and removed to it in 1850. On account of failing health he sold his farm, Nov., 1870, and removed to the East village in 1873. Ile m .. Oct. 5. 1818, Betsey 1. Sheldon ; n. ch.
