Walter Haynes, immigrant an- HAYNES cestor, was born in Sutton Mandifield, Wiltshire, England, in 1583. He also owned a house and other buildings on the island of Purbeck in the southeast part of Dorsetshire. He came to New England in the same ship with Peter Noyes, yeoman, of Penton, Southampton, with his wife Eliza ; sons under sixteen years of age, Thomas, John and Josiah : daughters Suffrance and Mary: and servants John Blandford, John Rediat and Richard Biddle- come, arriving in Boston in 1638. His fan- ily and that of Peter Noyes intermarried. About a year after his arrival in this coun- try Haynes removed from Watertown, Mass- achusetts, to Sudbury, having a grant of land there December 22, 1639. He was one of the foremost citizens, and was on the first board of selectmen in 1639 and served the town ten years altogether as se- lectman. He was one of the first. perhaps the very first, to build on the west side of the Sudbury river and is believed to have built the Haynes garrison house which was near the old Haynes home. The garrison house stood until the middle of the nineteenth cen- tury. The Haynes homestead was in the northeast section of the town in the part called the Pantry district. Hon. G. F. Gerry, a lineal descendent of Haynes, has written a charming poem entitled "Pantry School" ( see "History of Sudbury," p. 510). Haynes was admitted a freeman, May 13, 1641 ; dep- puty to the general court in 1641-44-48-51. He was commissioner to settle small causes. 1645.

1640. The will of Walter Haynes states that his son Thomas was then away from home. Many of the facts in this sketch were pre- served by John Haynes, born 1684, and writ- ten when he was nearly ninety years of age. The manuscript is now or lately was in pos- session of a descendant, Frederick Haynes Newell. The historian of Sudbury ( Hud- son ) writes of the Haynes family: "The family is well known and quite numerous in Sudbury.

(VI) Lieutenant Joseph Haynes, son of James (3) Haynes, was born at Sudbury, May 30, 1742. He was an early settler at Lisbon, New Hampshire. He was a lieuten- ant in Colonel Timothy Bidwell's regiment in 1778. He was in Captain Samuel Young's company of this regiment, December 15, 1777. to March, 1778 ( see New Hampshire Revo- lutionary Rolls, state papers, vol. XVI, p. 307). In this company and regiment, of which General John Stark was then sergeant- major. he took part in the expedition to Can- ada in February, 1778. His son Joseph served in the same company in 1779. Cap- tain Samuel Young was of Lisbon, also. The town was granted in 1763 and settled after- ward. Joseph Haynes and Joseph Jr. were living there in 1790, according to the first federal census, both with families. Joseph Haynes signed a petition, January 12, 1786, asking for relief from taxes. The petition was headed by Major Samuel Young, just mentioned. It represented that there were but few settlers in Lisbon when the revolu-

tion began and that almost every man turned out to the defense of his country and marched to Canada under General Montgomery and several enlisted for three years and during the war. The settlers built a fort at a cost of five hundred pounds. Had it not been for poverty, the petition states, "we should have left the town and state long ago" (p. 407, town papers of Lisbon). In a petition relating to the legality of a town meeting of Lisbon, Joseph and his son Joseph both signed. As Joseph Jr. did not sign the peti- tion of inhabitants in 1786 he probably came of age about 1787. Joseph Haynes married, at Sudbury, August 11, 1763. Among his children were Joseph, of Lisbon, mentioned above, and David, mentioned below. At least two other sons and one daughter, as indi- cated by the census returns.
(VII) David, son of Lieutenant Joseph Haynes, was born at Lisbon, New Hampshire, June 9, 1771. When a young man, soon after 1790, he went to live near Albany, perhaps at Cambridge, where a Major Haynes was living without children, in 1790, according to the census. About 1795. according to the history of Onondaga county (p. 257 and 714). he removed to Van Buren township, Onon- daga county, New York. At Albany he met a man named McKowm who then held title to lot No. 12, Van Buren, and to Haynes he offered part of the lot there if he would make an actual settlement. Haynes received the deed to his land, May 14, 1798, one hundred and fifty acres, southeast corner of the lot. and this property has remained in the pos- session of descendants. No other tract has been held so long in the same family. A few years after he settled he married Martha Wil- son, and their daughter, born in 1799, was the first white child born in the town. Some years later, about 1805, he engaged in the salt business at Salina, and went to live there. In 1816 he returned to Van Buren and after- ward divided his time between Salina, the west and his homestead at Van Buren. He added to his homestead largely by purchase. He died on the farm at Van Buren, May 26, 1841, and was buried at Baldwinsville.

For three years he taught school, and during the next ten years of his life was engaged in farming. In May, 1908, he established the business in which he has since been engaged, manufac- turing and dealing in lumber and farmers' implements at Baldwinsville, New York.

STRANAHAN The Scotch surname Stranahan is also spelled Strahan, Strachan and Stranachan. The Stranachan family is found early at Galloway. Strahan and Strachan are the early spellings of the family in Kin- cardineshire about the year 1100. The name is derived from the river Strachan, anciently Strath Aan in the Valley of Aan, in Kincar- dineshire. There is also a parish of the same name in Kincardineshire. A branch of the family located in Ulster Province, north of Ireland, and from these come the American family. Two spellings are in vogue there at the present time, Strahan and Strain. The latter are entirely in the county Down and the former in the same section mostly.
(I) James Stranahan, immigrant ancestor, was born in the north of Ireland in 1699, and came with the great influx of Scotch-Irish to New England about 1725. He bought land at Scituate, Rhode Island, October 18 and November 29. 1745. He was prosperous in business, a well-to-do farmer, and an intelli- gent and useful citizen. He died at Plain- field, Connecticut, January 8, 1792, aged ninety-three years. Children: 1. James, born 1735 : settled in 1768 at Plainfield, Connecti- cut, and died there January 2, 1808: in 1790 the census shows he had three males over six- teen in his family, two under that age and four females; married Martha Corey. 2. John, mentioned below. 3. William, settled at Canaan, New York, with his brother John. 4. Jane, married, at Scituate, July 4, 1753. James Walker. The records at Scituate do not give the births of the children, and it is probable that Stranahan lived in some of the Scotch-Irish settlements in Worcester county, Massachusetts, or Windham county, Connect- icut, before he located in Rhode Island.
(II) John, son of James Stranahan, was born in 1737. He settled in Canaan, Colum- bia county. New York. before the revolution with his brother William, who was a soldier
in the war. In 1790, according to the first federal census, John had five males over six- teen, five under sixteen and three females; his son James was also head of a family and his brother William had four sons under six- teen and three females in his family. James Stranahan, probably the first of the name, was of Foster, Rhode Island, in 1790, according to the census having only himself and wife in the family. He married, September 17, 1763, Lucy Buck. Children of . John and Lucy Stranahan : Polly, born 1764; James, 1766; Jane, 1768; Aaron, mentioned below ; Lucy, 1773; John, 1776; Farrand, 1778; Peleg. 1780; George, 1783; Gibson, 1786; Daniel, October 29, 1789.
(III) Aaron, son of John Stranahan, was born in 1771. He was a farmer at Canaan, New York. He married Children : John, Sarah, Susan. Harriet, Ebenezer, Aaron, mentioned below.
(IV) Aaron (2), son of Aaron (I) Stran- ahan, was born at Chatham, Columbia county, New York, October 18, 1807, died August 13, I888.
He had a meagre education the public schools and barely acquired the art of reading and writing before he went to work. He worked on his father's farm until nineteen years old, when he came to Onon- daga county, New York, from Herkimer county, where his father settled, and there he worked for a time at teaming and farm- ing. In 1830 he came to Granby, Oswego county, where he spent the remainder of his life. He cleared a farm and acquired sev- eral hundred acres of land. In addition to farming he followed lumbering and cleared several hundred acres, selling the wood and timber, which he delivered at Salt Point, New York. He was a Whig until the Republican party was formed, and afterward a staunch Republican. He cast his first presidential vote for Henry Clay. He was an active, use- ful and successful citizen.
He married, in 1829, Mercia, daughter of Paul W. Eggleston, of English descent and New England parentage. She was a woman of high moral character, charitable, capable and kindly. They had eleven children, among whom were : 1. Elsey, died aged twenty-three in 1864: married Isaac Dam. of California ; she was burned to death with two children when their house was destroyed. 2.

He married Lucelia Higgins, who died July 17, 1900, daughter of Alfred Higgins. Children : I. Cora, married Woodward: is dean of Women of Wisconsin University. 2. Ne- vada N .. mentioned below.
(VI) Hon. Nevada N., son of Smith Stran- ahan, was born at Granby, New York, Feb- ruary 27, 1861. He worked on his father's farm during his youth and attended the pub- lic schools and Falley Seminary. He entered the law school of Columbia University in New York City in 1884, when he was twenty- three years old, and in due course he was admitted to the bar and began to practice at Fulton, New York. He took a prominent position in his profession and ranks among the leaders of the bar in his county. FIis public career began in 1890, when he was elected a member of the New York state as- sembly from Oswego county. He was twice re-elected, in 1891 and again in 1893. In the legislature he was appointed to several important committees and quickly won dis- tinction on the floor of the assembly. At the close of his service in the house, he was elect- ed district attorney of Oswego county, an office he filled with conspicuous ability and credit. At the state election of 1895 he was chosen state senator from the thirty-seventh senatorial district, which includes Oswego and Madison counties, receiving a plurality of 9.389 votes over his Democratic opponent. He was appointed chairman of the committee on cities of the senate and a member of the committee on taxation and retrenchment, also of the committee on privileges and elections. In 1898 he was renominated without opposi- tion and re-elected, receiving 16.270 votes to 9.760 received by his Democratic opponent. Again he was chairman of the committee on cities and also a member of the committee on finance and of the committee on taxation and retrenchment. For the third time he was elected senator in 1900, receiving 18,295 votes to 10,332 votes cast for his Democratic opponent. His reputation for ability grew steadily and he became one of the foremost Republicans of the state of New York. His faithful service in public life and his high
standards of duty, his integrity and ability, were recognized appropriately by his appoint- ment to the office of collector of the port of New York by President Roosevelt. He en- tered upon the duties of this office. April I, 1902, and continued for more than six years. His resignation was due to his ill health. During his administration of the office of col- lector, the receipts amounted to more than a billion dollars. Mr. Stranahan has resided in Fulton since he retired from public life.
He married, April 30, 1885, Elsie Merri- man, of Granby, New York, daughter of Henry H. Merriman. Children : Daniel M., born March 29, 1886, died 1895: Isabella, November 6. 1887, died October 25. 1889; Louise : son, died in infancy.
John Rathbone. whose
RATHBONE father is said to have
come to America from England in the "Speedwell," a vessel accom- panying the "Mayflower," in 1620, and to have settled on Rhode Island, was among those whose met at the house of John Alcock, M. D., in Roxbury, Massachusetts, August 17, 1660, to confer about the purchase of Block Island. In 1664 he was one of those whom Captain James Sands and Joseph Kent, in behalf of Block Island, presented to the Rhode Island general assembly for admission as freemen. In 1683 he was a representative from Block Island to the general assembly, and in 1686 he was one of the petitioners to the king of Great Britain in reference to the "Quo Warranto." In 1688 he was one of the grand jury of Rhode Island. In July. 1689, he had a very narrow escape from the French, who were pillaging the island. "They in- quired of some one or more of the people, who were the likeliest among them to have money? They told them of John Rathbone, who was the most likely." This is evidence that he was in good circumstances. The French captured him and demanded his money, and he denied having any amount. They tried to force a confession out of him by tying him and whipping him, but they had made a mistake in the man, for while they were torturing his son, John. John Rathbone escaped with his treasure. This son probably lived near his father.
John Rathbone, when he came to Block Island, received with Edward Vorse lot 4 in the north part of the island, and lot 10 in

the southeast part of the island. The island had been purchased the year before for £400 of John Endicott, Richard Bellingham, Dan- iel Dennison and William Hawthorne, who had received a grant of it from Massachu- setts two years before. In 1676 he was sur- veyor of highways. On September 21, 1679, he and his wife Margaret deeded to their son John their estate on Block Island. In 1680 he was taxed £II. He was deputy to the general court in 1681-2-3-4. On December 28, 1683. he and his wife Margaret deeded land to Sa- rah, wife of Samuel George. His will, made February 12, 1702, proved October 6, 1702, bequeathed practically everything to his wife; at her death the property was left to his daughters and grandsons. To his son Sam- uel he left a table and cupboard; to wife Margaret all other movables and the income of the Newport house for life. at her death the house to go to grandson John, son of John, and grandson John, son of William, the latter having the east side of the house. To wife he left certain lands, and 40 shillings to be paid her yearly while widow, by sons John, William, Joseph and Samuel, each paying that amount : also she was left a negro man for life, and then to son Thomas, for three years, at which time he was to be freed. At death of wife the household goods were to go to daughters Sarah, Margaret and Eliz- abeth, and five sons were to have at that time all cattle, etc. He died between February 12 and October 6, 1702, and his wife survived him.
