S. Service, during the late Rebellion. Ed. Sid- ney also died in the same service.
31 Philip was b 1760. He was in the army of the revolution where he heard the Declaration of Independence announced, and was a member of the last company which evacuated N. Y. City in the memorable retreat of the Am. Army, was after- wards discharged at White Plains, returned home ; but hearing that a company of British Dragoons were in the vicinity of his father's house, he, with some comrades, struck across the Island to Oyster Pond Pt., and took a boat across the sound in the night, entered the Connecticut River and found his way to Windsor, where he m Esther d. of Elisha Moore. He died in Windsor in 1846. He had s Henry b July 8 1784. These particulars concern- ing Philip are derived from Hist. of Windsor by Dr. Henry R. Stiles.
HAND FAMILY.
John Hand was one of the early settlers of South- ampton, his name being on the list of 1644. He re- moved with his son Stephen, to East Hampton, 31

about the time of the settlement of that place in 1649. It is probable that he had also two other sons, Shamger and Benjamin. One Shamger who had s Shamger b March 27 1671, in 1699 living in Cape May Co. N. J., speaks of s Josiah of B. Hampton. Benjamin m Elizabeth Whittier Feb 27 1669, and had ch. Elizabeth b Jan 27 1672, Sarah b Sept 22 1673, Abraham b Oct 2 1675, Benjamin b July 22 1677, Richard b March 2 1679, Mary b March 24 1680, Rachel b Jan. 23 1682, and Peter b Nov 1 1683. Now comes a missing link of one generation, which the family can doubtless restore from papers inaccessible to the writer. One of the ch. of the older Benjamin above, is doubtless the grand father of three brothers, Abraham, Silas and Nathaniel. Of these three brothers, Abraham had ch. Abraham, (who had s Ovid, of Ovid N. Y.) and Eleazer, who had ch. Catherine and George, (who has ch. George and John of E. Hampton.)
Nathaniel above had ch. Nathaniel, (who had ch. Marcus and Thomas) and Mulford who had s Charles, of Amagansett, who had ch. George, Nathaniel, Charles, and daughters.
David Hand, of the same generation as the three brothers, Abraham, Silas and Nathaniel, had ch. David, (who had s Forrest) Josiah and Gideon, (who had s Theron.)
John, Richard and Charles, of B. H., were sons of Hervey, who, with his brother Bartlett was son of Elias who was b 1770 and d 1842.

HAYNES FAMILY.
Benjamin Haynes or Haines, as it is generally written in the old Records, and still is by other branches of the family, first appears on record in 1657, as a resident of North Sea. His will is found on record, dated in 1687. With exception of the descendants of 11 Stephen, all or nearly all the branches are resident of Bridge Hampton. 1 Ben- jamin d 1687 had w Johana, and ch. 2 Benjamin, 3 Hannah, 4 James b 1673 d 1732, and 5 Samuel. 2 Benjamin d 1714, and had w Lydia and ch.

HEDGES FAMILY.
On the list of 1644 appears the name of a Hedges -but the name is now indistinct-it resembles
237

"Wm." or may be "Tristram," the latter of which is once found on record very early. But the name probably is William, since he is the only Hedges of that period of whom we know anything. He was one of the first settlers of East Hampton in 1649, and was made freeman at Boston May 14, 1634. The most of the following record was obtained from Hon. H. P. Hedges of B.
