Hon William Strong, LL. D., eldest son of the Rev. William L. and Harriet (Deming) Strong, was born May 6, 1808. He graduated Bachelor of Arts from Yale College, 1828, Master of Arts, 1831. He began the study of law, pur- suing the same for a period of time at Burling- ton, New Jersey, where his legal preceptor was
Garret D. Wall, and at the same time followed the vocation of teaching. He completed his legal studies by a six months course in the Law School of Yale College, 1832, and was admitted to the bar of Philadelphia, October 3. 1832. "Apple- ton's Cyclopedia of American Biography" says of lim: "He located in Reading, Pennsylvania, mastered the German language, then much spoken in that region, and soon ranked high as a . lawyer. In 1846 he was a candidate for con- gress on the Democratic ticket, and was twice elected, serving from 1847 until 1851. In his second term he was appointed chairman of the committee on elections. He declined a third nomination and retired from active politics. When the Civil war began, though then occupy- ing a high judicial position, he gave all his sup- port and influence in aid of the government. In 1857 he was elected a justice of the supreme court of Pennsylvania and served eleven years, attain- ing a high reputation as a jurist. His opinions in volumes 30-60 of the State Reports exhibit great care in preparation, clearness of statement, precis- ion and vigor of style, and accurate knowledge of law. In 1868 he resigned his seat on the bench and opened an office in Philadelphia, at once obtaining a large and lucrative practice. In February, 1870, he was appointed a justice of the supreme court of the United States, and served until December, 1880, when he resigned. His great knowledge of law, keen discrimination and sound judgment made him an invaluable associate in consultation, and his clear and mas- terly opinions assisted largely to sustain the dig- nity and authority of the court. Of his opinions, those in the legal tender cases, the state freight- tax cases, and the civil-right cases, including Tennessee vs. Davis, exhibit in an eminent degree his great power of analysis and rigorous logic.
"Justice Strong was a member of the electoral commission in February, 1877. and in his opin- ions contended that congress has no power to canvass a state election for presidential electors (which was the great question at issue), and in the cases that he specially reviewed (those of Florida and Oregon), the canvass of the state authorities was clear and decisive. Besides his

official and professional labors, Justice Strong long took an active part in the counsels of the Presbyterian Church, of which he was a member. He was for years president of the American Tract Society and of the American Sunday School Union, and was a factor in other benevolent en- terprises. He delivered many public addresses and lectures, and frequently contributed to maga- zines and reviews. In 1875 he delivered before the Philadelphia bar and the American Philosoph- cal Society, of which he was a member, an ad- dress on the "Life and Character of Horace Bin- ney," and in 1879 an address before the Law De- partment of the University of Pennsylvania on the "Growth and Modifications of Private Civil Law." He also delivered a course of lectures to the professors and students of Union Theolo- gical Seminary of New York, and for several vears lectured to the Law Department of Colum- bian University, at Washington. Lafayette Col- lege conferred upon him the degree of LL. D., in 1867, and Yale and Princeton in 1870."

HAYDEN FAMILY. William Hayden and his brother, John Hayden, came to America in the ship "Mary and John," with the church under Revs. John Warham, and Samuel Maverick, land- ing at Dorchester, Massachusetts. 1630. John and William have always been recognized as brothers by the best genealogists, especially by James Savage, and the descendants of the two families. They were both made freemen in Dor-
chester, 1634. It is known that they both came from the borders of Devonshire and Somerset- shire. John Hayden remained in Massachu- setts, at Braintree and Haydenville. For his family see "The Vinton Memorial."
William Hayden, the head of the Connecticut line, settled in Hartford, Connecticut, about 1636, where he received land in the first distribution, 1639. In 1637 he served under Captain John Mason in the Pequot war, saving the life of Cap- tain Mason in the fight 'at Mystic Fort, by cutting the bowstring of an Indian who had drawn his arrow to the head at the Captain. For this gal- lantry he received special mention in Mason's re- port, and was granted a lot at Hartford by the court, which later on added fifty acres more. The sword with which William Hayden performed this deed is still preserved in the Connecticut His- torical Society. In 1642 he sold his Hartford property and bought land at Windsor, Connecti- cut, which land is still in the possession of the Hayden family, the Rev. Mr. Hayden, of this sketch, being one of the owners. The family tenure has thus extended over 264 years. Will- iam Hayden was a soldier in Major Mason's Troop, 1657-58, the first troop of horse in the colony. Born about 1600, he died Kenilworth, Connecticut. September 27. 1669. He married in 1639, but the name of his wife, who died in 1655, is not known. In the Windsor Church record her death is recorded as "the wife of Will- iam Hayden." She was the mother of all his children. He married in 1665 (second) Mar- garet Wilcoxson, widow of William Wilcoxson, who came from St. Albans, Hertfordshire, Eng- land, in the ship "Planter," 1635, and became one of the first proprietors and a prominent man in Stratford, Connecticut, and a deputy to the gen- eral court of Connecticut, 1647.
William Hayden was a deputy from Kenil- worth, (Killingworth) to the general court of Connecticut in 1667, he having settled there in 1665, and was one of the petitioners for au- thority to organize a church there, leaving all his Windsor lands to his eldest son Daniel, who re- mained at the old homestead in Windsor.

He was commissioned lieutenant of the Train- band, 1697, of the Troop of Horse, 1698; his ori- ginal commissions still being in the hands of his descendant, Jabez H. Hayden, of Windsor Locks. In 1708 he divided his land among his four sons and settled them thereon, the four occupying about three-fourths of the main street of what is now known as Hayden Station, two miles above Windsor.
