From the Historical & Genealogical Record of one branch of the Hayman-Hyndman-Amon Family tree by Robert D.Amon- and found in the Colchester Historical Society in Truro, it has this to say about the name: "The name "Hayman" is English in origin and means "Keeper of an enclosure". The Scottish spelling of the name is "Hayndman" . When William Hayman settled in Tatamagouche, N.S., it was already largely a Scottish settlement. William spelled his name Hayman but some of his children used the Scottish spelling of Hayndman. Hayndman over the years has come to be spelled Hyndman. In 1881 Thomas and Rebecca Hayman joined the Baptist Church at Bass River, N.S.. On the rolls dated April 24 their names were spelled Amon. It must be remembered that in days gone by, many people could not read or write. Names were often spelled as they sounded. in some districts the name Hayman was and still is pronounced with a silent "H". My husband Alfred's great-great-great grandfather, William Hayman was born in 1757 in Inverness in the county of Aryll, Scotland. He immigrated as a youth to the American colonies and settled in North Carolina. There he enlisted in the Royal North Carolina Regiment in 1779 and arrived in Halifax in the fall of 1783. Halifax was already overcrowded with Loyalists so he and many others arrived by transport on Dec.3, 1783, at a landing place, about 4 miles from Stormont in the Country Harbour area in Guysborough County. The winter of 1783-84 was an "old fashioned winter' and as they were used to a milder climate, it was a hard time for these folks. In the spring of 1784, the land was surveyed and they drew for lots and began immediately on the town they called Stormont. William had a lot of 100 acres there; but, like many of the settlers he became disheartened and decided to leave to find a more congenial home. William came to Tatamagouche where Colonel Des Barres had been granted 25,00 acres of land and here he settled on Lot 13, married and had a family of 12 children. William died in 1829 at the age of 72 years, and was the first to be buried in the Presbyterian Cemetery- now Sharon United Church- at Tatamagouche.William's son David, spelled his name HAYNDMAN- and David's son Thomas spelled his name AMON- but they are all the same family and as you search the cemeteries you can find all these different spellings as well as HYNDMAN. My husband's family all retained the name HAYMAN as William spelled it on his release from the North Carolina Regiment. It is interesting to note that in a history of Tatamagouche written by Hon. Frank Patterson Q.C. in 1971,he wrote: "In the history of Tatamagouche, William Hayman calls for some special note for he was the first, and perhaps the only Loyalist to settle in Tatamagouche and stay. He was also its second Scottish settler." Patterson also notes that more details of Hayman's days in the army and of his coming to Country Harbour as well as Captain Mac Donald's notes in 1795 dealing with Hayman's work progress at Tatamagouche can be found in pages 27 et sequa in "The Days of the Ships" Does anyone know this book?

It appears that our Hayman/Hyndman family came about 1849 but were living in Argylshire and not Ayshire. I had thought that all the Cumberland and Colchester Haymans were related having been descendants of William who came in the 1800's from the US. It would be interesting to find out whether her family are indeed related to them as he also came from Campbeltwon area which makes me wonder if we are related way back anyway. If they had only used one name it would not be so confusing. It appears that my family only used Hayman once in Scotland but totally changed to Hayman in Canada. You need to correspond with the Haymans from Colchester oor/and Cumberland counties. Are you on a genealogy site for those counties?

To Robert and Muriel Thanks for the tip. But would you believe -no Donald mcGlashen any where in their records. Not even, as far as I can tell- in the Books of Remembrance.Four McGlashans- note the different spelling - showed up as being buried overseas when i did a search. But no McGlashens!? So , Jean, as I now realize from searching the War Site, Donald is supposedly on the Pictou Cenotaph ( under Bailey's River). If so could you possibly verify the spelling for me. I shouldn't obsess about this as he may turn out not to be related. But as there are so few leads to the McGlashens , I would like to make sure one way or the other By the way if anybody has any Presbyterian Witness documents my grandfather John Archibald McGlsashen was not only a Presbyterian minister (until 1925 when he went United Church ), but I just today had a chance to view records( a biography) till now in the possesion of a recently deceased aunt that said he was also a frequent contributer to the Presbyterian Witness.I knew he wrote for the Halifax papers- his nom de plume there was "the Bellman" His father Donald died in 1895- was the Witness then in existence that I could go to to Truro and search for a mention of his death. Was the Pictou Advocate in existence then? Sorry for the questions, questions- but as i have little free time I am not planning to get into the onsite research stuff without being well prepared. Since I live in Elmsdale I feel I am well situated to search in both Hlfx area and Truro or even Pictou or New Glasgow. So for example I would go search the Presbyterian Witness well armed with all avaiable facts to narrow my search. For that matter if anyone on the list need info from that source and wsn't in a hurray , I could search for them too. It won't be before July as I am a single parent and have an 18 yr. old graduating who managed to get himself a girl friend just in time to get involved in prom, while at the same time finalizing his univ. future . He will be the 4th generation to attend (and hopefully graduate from) Dalhousie.His g.granfather McGlashen graduated in 1891. Thanks again Stewart
