George1 Hayward was one of the little band who, under the lead- ership of Peter Bulkley, an English non-conformist minister from Odel, in Bedfordshire, and Simon Willard, an Indian trader from Kent, settled the town of Concord, Mass., in Sept. 1635.

Among his exploits on that eventful day, we would mention that he followed two British soldiers into a house, and neither of them came out alive. He captured a gun that was pointed towards him (which sixty years later was in the possession of one of his sons), and later in

the day, seized upon two chaises in Cambridge that had been taken in the morning, slaying a hostile occupant in each, and brought the chaises back to Concord .* Other examples of his daring, bordering on recklessness, might be mentioned, but space will not admit; but we must be pardoned if we relate another incident of his life of a little different character. A young man stole from him a horse. He did not appeal to the law, but followed the thief to Salem, brought him and the horse back to Concord, took him into his home, trained him in better ways, and finally sent him out into the world a valuable citizen.

" Lieut. Joseph Hayward, of Concord gives notice that on the ninetenth of April, last, in the Fight he took from the Regulars in Monotomy, a Horse and Chaise. The Chaise was owned by Mr. Reuben, Brown of Concord. What remains in his hands is a mouse colored Horse near 13, hands high, -old, poor, and dull; a good Bed Quilt, Tawny on both sides; a good Camlet Riding hood, brown color; one Pillow and a piece of Bed Tick.

He was a lineal descendant in the sixth generation from Sir James Prescott, of Standish Hall, Eng., and his wife, Alice Molineaux, who was a lineal descendant from Edmund, son of Henry III, of England, and therefore of a long line of English sovereigns, including William the Conqueror and Saxon Alfred.

best in town, demanding all his attention, he never sought or re- ceived any public office. He was an active supporter of the Con- gregational church, and both he and his wife were members, although he did not become one until somewhat late in life. He was blessed with a wife of great force of character, who looked " well to the ways of her household." It was her earnest desire that all her children should be settled near her, and her wish was gratified, as she lived to see them all established in comfortable homes in town, with families growing up around them. Although living three miles from the church, they were seldom absent from its services, and this continued until within a few weeks of the close of her life. It would have grieved her sadly to realize that it was possible for any one of her family to wander from its fold, and her memory through all these years has exerted a powerful influence over me. The long rides I enjoyed to and from the church with them, and the conversation on the way, can never be forgotten. She d. after a brief illness, Oct. 24, 1847.

Nov. 14, 1833, Ann, dau. of Jacob G. and Betsey (Stanly) Lakin (q. v.), who had taught school several terms in her own district, and although her educational advantages had been limited, she had made the most of them. He remained at home until he was 21, then went to Francestown, where he worked one year on a farm ; subsequently he spent several years in Massachusetts, includ- ing about six months as an attendant at the McLean asylum, Charles- town (now Somerville), and some three years at Doctor Cutter's private asylum in Pepperell, where he had charge of the farm, etc. In the spring of 1833 he purchased about one-half of his father's farm, a large proportion of which, at that time, was yet wild land, and has res. there ever since. Within twenty years after he had settled on this farm he had added many acres to the cleared land, had built a good many rods of stone wall, and had erected a com- modious set of farm buildings, all of which required labor not less arduous than that of the early settler. He had but few"of the ad- vantages of the schools, but he has ever been a close observer of men and affairs. It is a delicate matter for me to treat, but I should do injustice to myself if I failed to acknowledge my indebt- edness to him for what little success I may have met with in life. His words of advice in my early days were invaluable, worth more to me in the practical concerns of life than all that I learned in the schools, and to this I may add his example as a man of the sternest

integrity. In the work of establishing a home he was fortunate in having the hearty co-operation of his wife. The struggles they were obliged to make and the hardships they endured are fresh in my memory. That home has ever been a hospitable one ; no hungry person was ever turned away from their door, and many unfortu- nate ones have found a shelter under their roof. They celebrated their golden wedding, at which time a large number of relatives and friends were present, and at this date, Sept. 1888, they are the oldest married couple in town - that is, their marriage ante- dates all others, although there are a few older persons in town.

20. William Willis8, b. Oct. 17, 1834; m. Sept. 7, 1859, Eliza- beth Ellen, dan. of Hosea and Hannah D. (Britton) Chase,* of Keene, who was b. Sept. 8, 1841. His early educational advantages were such as were at the time afforded in the country towns in New England, supplemented by some two years at the academies in H., Peterboro', and Francestown, and two terms at the New England Normal institute in Lancaster, Mass. He taught in the country schools nine winters, and subsequently three terms in private schools. At the age of 21 he was chosen a member of the super- intending school committee in H., and at later periods served one year as superintendent of schools in Newfane, Vt .; three years on the school board in Keene, and one year as superintendent of schools in that city. He spent about two years in private study with Rev. Lemuel Willis in Warner, and was ordained as a Univer- salist minister at Enfield, in June, 1859 ; subsequently, after a two years' course of study at Tufts Divinity school, he took the degree of B. D. in 1871. He has had settlements in Newfane, Vt., Fair- field, Me., Keene, and in Wakefield, Acton, Methuen, Plymouth, and South Framingham, Mass., besides several short engagements elsewhere; present res. South Framingham, Mass. He served a few months as chaplain of the 13th Me. vols. during the late war, and for some twenty years has been a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. He is also a Free and Accepted Mason, an Odd Fellow, a member of the order of the Knights of the Golden Cross, and of the Temple of Honor.

to give addresses on this subject, and also for the Grand Army of the Republic on Memorial days, etc.
In his life-work he has had the hearty and efficient co-operation of his wife. When in the army she joined him at Martinsburgh, W. Va., and spent several weeks with him literally on the picket line. Martinsburgh was at that time the base of General Sheridan's sup- plies, and the object of repeated and untiring attacks on the part of the Confederates, under the command of Mosby, the noted guerilla. Mrs. Hayward reached Martinsburgh, to the surprise of her husband, by a night ride from Baltimore, at a time when firing upon the night trains over the Baltimore & Ohio railroad was a con- stant occurrence. When she reached the station at Martinsburgh, at about five o'clock of a November morning, she was informed by the officer in charge that the 13th Me. regt. had left the town. A private soldier present corrected the mistake, and to him was en- trusted the task of conducting her through the town past several bar- ricades in the streets to the head-quarters of the regiment. She was a splendid horsewoman, and soon became deservedly popular with the soldiers. "Nor did she fail to improve her opportunity to min- ister in a Christian womanly way to the welfare of those with whom she met in the hospital; writing letters for the sick and wounded, and taking care of money for their families, which she concealed in times of danger about her person. God cared for her in the midst of these dangers."
In church and parish work and in the great moral reforms of the time, she has ever displayed the same spirit. For several years she was superintendent of the Sunday school connected with her hus- band's parish, and in many ways she has been active. She is at the present time president of the Woman's Christian Temperance union in South Framingham, and in that capacity has led a campaign against the licensed saloons in Framingham during the past two years that has been eminently successful, and done much to relieve the town from the thraldom of the liquor power. In her connection with the Ladies' Relief corps, she has been equally effi- cient, having served as chaplain of the corps some four years.
