The Descendants of William Hayward of Easton, Massachusetts by His Two Wives, Lydia Manley and Ann Holland - Hardcover

by Edward Wallace Phillips (Author)

The Descendants of William Hayward of Easton, Massachusetts documents William's life in the eighteenth century, his two wives, Lydia Manley and Ann Holland, his children who began the journey that settled America, from their moves to Western Mass., both Southern and Northern Vermont and Central Maine, and his grandchildren's moves to upstate New York, Ohio, and states further west. Extensively researched and documented, the book corrects many errors currently in widespread use in many family trees. The book makes extensive use of original vital records, land deeds and probate records, some family Bibles, and numerous early genealogies, correcting many of them where the original records were found. Over 1370 descendants were identified through five generations, and the book has an extensive index of every name and every place to help the reader locate their family.
