(The Sayre Line).
(I) William Sayre was of Hunwich. parish of Podington, in the hundred of . Willey, and in the county of Bedford, England. He died in 1564, and his will, dated 1562, was proved 1564. The will of his widow was dated April 20, 1567. and proved June 2, 1567. Children : Thomas, married Margery : Alice, married Robert West: Agnes, married Will-
iam Makernes; William, who is further men- tioned below.
(II) William (2), son of William (I) Sayre, was also of Hunwich. He married Elizabeth _ , and died before 1581. Chil- dren : William ; Robert; Thomas; Francis, mentioned below.
(III) Francis, son of William (2) Sayre, married Elizabeth Atkins, the marriage being recorded in the parish register of Leighton Buzzard. November 15, 1591. He was a mer- cer, or "silkman," according to the tax roll of 1609-10. He lived at Leighton Buzzard, where he died intestate in 1645. His widow was appointed administratrix of his estate in April, 1645. Children, born at Leighton Buz- zard, with baptismal dates: Francis, May 14, 1592 : Elizabeth, April 28, 1594 ; William, Sep- tember 15. 1595, died April 9, 1598: Thomas, mentioned below : Alice, September 3. 1598; John. August 10, 1600: William, September 19. 1602; Abel, September 26, 1604: Daniel. October 23. 1605: Rebecca, April 10, 1608; Johannes, January 13, 1610-II : Sara, October 4. 1612, died February 2, 1612-13: Tobias. baptized December 15, 1613. There was also a child Mary, who married in London, June 8, 1639, Edward Tynge, merchant, who went to America. At Bedford the name Johannes is Job, January 3. 1610, and doubtless the last is correct, as the present register at Leighton is not the original.
(IV) Thomas Sayre, the immigrant ances- tor, was son of Francis Sayre, and was bap- tized at Leighton Buzzard. July 20, 1597. Though it has been a tradition that he worked in the mint before coming to America, that has been proved wrong. He was nearly forty years of age when he left there to come to America, and he doubtless married there and had children born there. The first record found of him is at Lynn, Massachusetts, in 1638, but it is not known when he sailed or when he settled at Lynn. In 1638 he was granted sixty acres, and Job Sayres was also granted the same amount. He and Job also were among the eight who purchased a sloop for the transportation of their families to Long Island, where Lynn was making a new settlement. Before sailing the proprietors sold their interest in the vessel to David Howe. who was to make three trips annually for two years in order to bring their goods to the new settlement. They began to settle at Manhas- set, at the head of Cow Bay, or Schout's Bay,
1309

but this land was already taken by the Dutch and they were ordered to leave it. Then they sailed to Peconic Bay, landing at what is now North Sea, near the village of Southampton. The first settlement was about three-quarters of a mile from the present village of South- ampton, and is now called "Old Town." They remained here about eight years, and in 1648 Thomas Sayre built his house, which is un- doubtedly the oldest English house on Long Island or in New York state. It was owned by the Sayre family until 1892, when it was sold, and now belongs to Captain Larry, son of Mrs. Sarah (Sayre) Larry; it is still a habitable house, and the frame and chimney are as they were originally. Thomas Sayre was very prominent among the settlers, often acting on committees for the town. He was one of three townsmen, October 6, 1654. He was ordered by the general court, October 23. 1650, to train the town soldiers. On June 19. 1657, he was one of five who were to lay out roads and view fences. He was a generous man, as is shown by the fact that when con- tributions were made, February 4, 1656, for Goodman Gouldsmith, whose house had been burned by the Indians, only one gave more than he did. He served as juror nine times between September. 1653, and September. 1658. He received several lots of land in the divisions. He was a farmer and a tanner. In 1667 he gave five acres to each of his four sons, and he died in 1670. His will, dated September 16. 1669, was executed by his son Job Sayre. Children. some probably born in England: Francis, mentioned below : Daniel. married Hannah Foster and Sarah : Jo- seph. married Martha
; Job, married Sarah - -, and Hannah Raynor Howell ; Damaris, married David Atwater : Mary, mar- ried Benjamin Price : Hannah, under eighteen in 1669: daughter, married Edmund Howell. (All except last given in order of will. )
(V) Francis (2). son of Thomas Sayre, was born probably in Bedfordshire, England. and lived at the North End in Southampton. Long Island. His name was on the list of inhabitants in 1657, and in Whaling Squad- ron, Fifth Ward, in 1657 and 1667. In 1668 he signed the call for a meeting on reception of Governor Lovelace, and in 1683 his name was on the tax levy. He was chosen overseer, April 1, 1681, and trustee of Southampton April 4. 1693. On February 5, 1694. he deeded three acres of land to Job Sayre, and also
again March 22, 1696, a large amount of land. He died January 20, 1698, and his will, dated January 14, 1697, proved September 20, 1698, made his son Ichabod executor. Ile married Sarah Wheeler, doubtless daughter of Thomas and Alice Wheeler, of New Haven, Connecti- cut. She married ( second) Josiah Stanbor- ough. of East Hampton, Long Island, and died about December, 1673.

He lived west of Watermill in 1776. On April 3. 1750, he was elected trustee of Southampton and served for four years; he was fence- viewer in 1758-59. He died in 1782, and his will, dated June 1, 1776, proved July 3. 1782. shows that he was a husbandman of South- ampton. In it he bequeathed to his son Icha- bod land bought of Lemuel Wick, and other land to be divided between Ichabod and Ste- phen ; he also mentioned his daughters Eliza- beth and Eunice, son Joshua, and children of his daughter Mary. He married Elizabeth -, who was living in 1776. Children : Ichabod : Mary : Stephen : Elizabeth ; Eunice ; Joshua, mentioned below.
(VIII) Joshua, son of Ichabod (2) Sayre. probably married (first) Martha, daughter of Joshua Halsey and his wife Martha Williams. daughter of Abraham Williams, who died be- fore 1754, when Halsey's children divided the land.

The Hanford family is of HANFORD ancient English origin. Wol- las-Hall, the seat of the Hanford family since 1536, stands on the north side of Bredon Hill about one-third of its ascent from the vale of Ever- sham and the whole estate, with part of Bredon Hill, upon which it is situated, is called Wooler's Hill, a name given to it about the time of the Conquest from the great number of wolves that infested the country
at that time. Sir John Hanford, Knight, pur- chased it from the great Lord Burleigh in the early part of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and since then it has descended in an unbroken line to the present time. The porch has the family motto, "Memorare novissima," cut in the stone just over the entrance door, with the date 1611, but the greater part of the build- ing is much older. The mansion is built of excellent hard stone, and is described at some length in Breton's "Beauties of England and Wales." dated London, 181I.
(I) Eglin (Hatherly) Hanford, widow, came from Sudbury, England, in the ship "Planter," sailing April 10. 1635, stating her age as forty-six in the passenger list, accom- panied by two daughters-Margaret, aged sixteen, and Elizabeth, aged fourteen. She was a sister of Rev. Timothy Hatherly, who also came to this country. She married (sec- ond). Friday, December 15, 1637, Richard Scillis, or Sealis, of Scituate. Massachusetts.

He remained in England to study for the minis- try, but in 1642 he also came to this country, and completed his education under the tutor- ship of Rev. Charles Chauncy, afterward president of Harvard College. He was ad- mitted a freeman in 1650. In 1652, soon after the town was settled, he removed to Norwalk and gathered a church there, preaching to this parish until 1693. He was the first minister in Norwalk, and one of the prominent Puri- tan divines of the first generation in New England. He married (first ). 1652, Hannah, third daughter of Thomas and Jane Newberry, of Windsor. Thomas Newberry died in 1635- 36, and his widow married Rev. John War- ham. the first minister of Windsor, and she died while on a visit to her daughter at Nor- walk. April 23. 1655. Mester Newberry, sis- ter of Mrs. Hanford, was grandmother of the famous Rev. Jonathan Edwards. Mr. Han- ford married (second ), October 22, 1661, Mary, daughter of Hon. Richard Miles, of New Haven. and widow of Jonathan Ince, of that town.

The widow of Mr. Han- ford died about 1722, and is probably buried under an oblong stone, from which the in- scription has been obliterated by time, in the East Norwalk cemetery.
