It would appear that Webster3 moved to Canada soon after 1766, as no further record of his family is found at Pembroke. His great grandson, Luther Hayford, of Independence, Iowa, writes that grandfather Samuel, son of Webster3, lived in Canada six years, then moved to New York State, later to Ohio, where he died in Chester, Lake Co., and that Webster, Jr., his son, died in the State of New York. He also says that Jonathan Bonney Hayford went from New York to Ohio and died at Chester, Lake Co.

Samuel Hayford, son of Webster, lived in Canada six years, then removed to State of New York, and later from there to Ohio, and died in Ohio, town of Greenburg. He had four sons: Lyman, Enoch5, Samuel and C. P. Hayford. Enoch went to the State of Indiana in the 30's. Lyman and Samuel lived and died at Lennox, Ashtabula Co., Ohio. C. P. Hayford died in Patch Grove, Wis.

I have lost

"My grandfather, Samuel, and his brother, Jonathan Bonney+, were large men, both of them 6 ft. 41⁄2 inches tall. Methodist in religion, a republican in politics and an Odd Fellow. Am in enjoyment of good health, by trade a wagon and carriage maker; can make from a wheelbarrow to an omnibus. In my early days worked as a blacksmith and gunsmith. two good wives and think I will finish life single. I should like to see the family relatives, but that is out of the question. If we are all so happy when the grand round-up comes in the New Jerusalem, we shall have lots of time to make the acquaintance of our dear kins-people. I suppose you are making all the preparations you can, for a grand reunion in the Happy Land beyond the Big River. May the blessings of God rest upon you and yours. I am striving to have a part in that blessed reunion, and by the help of God, I expect to enter the port of glory when done with this life."

3William Hayford Branch.

(State of Maine.)

William Hayford3, son of Daniel2, John1, was b. at Pembroke, Mass., May 16, 1740, d. at Hartford, Me., Oct. 12, 1801, m. Betty Bonney of Pembroke, Mar. 11, 1762, b. at Pembroke, Feb. 15, 1743.

William Hayford3 took part in the French and Indian war, 1756, was engaged under Wolfe at Quebec, 1759, and served in the Revolutionary war during years 1775 and 1776. He was in the defence of Boston and also in the operations on Long Island and at White Plains. His eldest son, William Jr.*, was with him during a part of this service, and was a member of the same company at one time, viz.: Capt. Chamberlain's Co., in Col. Cary's Reg't., Nov. 1776. At this time the son was but fourteen years old, but very tall and strong, and when he gave his age as sixteen, in order that he might pass muster, he was readily accepted. The elder William3 served six months or more, from April to Oct., 1775, in Capt. Eleazer Hamlin's Co., Gen. Thomas' Reg't. Capt. Hamlin was his brother-in-law, they marrying sisters. On returning from the war, William Hayfords with wife and eight children, moved from Pembroke, Mass., to Sylvester Canada (now Turner, Me.), in the spring of 1777, and there settled on a lot about one and one-half miles south of "Bradford City", as it was afterward called, his family being the eighteenth of the first settlers of that town, then comprising 114 inhabitants, 65 of them being children. Two more sons were born shortly afterward, to their family, in Turner.

Of the six sons of William3, there was not one but measured more than six feet in height. Zeri1, the fourth son, stood six feet, seven and one-half inches in his stockings, and all were noted for great physical strength and endurance. They moved to Hartford, Me., and settled near the old "Center," about 1796, where he died in 1801, aged 61 years.

Betty (Bonney) Hayford, wife of William3, was b. in Pembroke, Mass., Feb. 15, 1743. She was the dau. of Ichabod Bonney, Jr., b. May 16, 1698, who m. Nov. 29, 1724, Elizabeth Howland, b. June 6, 1706.

Dorcas Sampson, the dau. of Henry Sampson, who came over in the Mayflower in 1620, as a youth of sixteen years, and a member of the family of Edward Tilley and wife, who were his cousins. Edward Tilley and wife both dying the first winter at Plymouth, Henry Sampson afterward lived in the family of Capt. Miles Standish, and in 1636 m. Ann Plummer. They had five children: Elizabeth, Hannah, John, Mary and Dorcas. (The Bradford History says: 1650, "seven children")

Thomas Bonney, Jr.2, was the son of Thomas Bonney1, the emigrant, b. in Dover, Eng., in 1604, and m. Mary Terry. He came over in the Hercules, 1634, and settled in Duxbury, Mass.
