Hey All, I'm posting the following message for Peg. She tried posting it herself but doesn't think it worked. Lauren Peg Wrote: I have been reading the recent flurry of messages looking for a tie to my Hayden branch. My line descends from William Hayden who arrived on the Mary and John. They lived briefly in Dorchester MA then went to found Windsor CT. William had only three children but all the male heirs in my line had six or more, mostly male. In the 1700's Augustine settled in Torringford CT and had fifteen children, his youngest son Cicero had eight so there are lots of Haydens out there but I have not been able to find any of my "cousins". My great-aunt was a collector of family history so I have pictures of Cicero, his wife, Sophia Squires, and many of their children which I would like to share. Also have family stories from before the Civil War. If this rings a bell with anyone, get in touch. Thanks, Peg

Hi all, Madora is correct, the Irish Haydons are in no way related to the English groups, unless a Haydon went to Ireland very early after the Norman occupation [about 1200] and started a line there [no evidence yet]. More likely the Irish group may have been called something like O'Heiden, and when arriving in America the spelling was changed. Remember also there are similar sounding names in Germany and Holland, again spelling may well have changed on arrival in America; many early settlers could not read or write, so could not confirm any documentation. DNA testing will [as more are tested] will define the various groups more clearly, and then some sort of designation in the message subject like Hayden Group A, means that is the message you need to read, the rest you generally ignore. DNA testing is the where all efforts need to be concentrated, a pity my Hayden is my Mother's side, so DNA test no help.

George, I am the Sputnik you pass in orbit. Ha Ha. I have a William Headen that died in Jackson County Ga. in 1808? I think. The point is I can't get answers from any one when I ask my tired old question. This William Headen according to many on the list was married to Jane Little. According to my husbands family Jane Little was married to Robert Beavers, the father of Reubin Beavers who married one of this Williams Headen's granddaughters. I would love to know which is correct. The two families traveled together from Virginia to Georgia and some of the two families traveled on to Louisiana by 1811. I probably would be just like you and not have a DNA match either. I don't know any Hayden males in my line that I could ask to be tested.

Hi, I don't post often, cause no one seems to be working on my line. But, I do read the messages just in case. Actually, when supplying information, it would be best to post to the list, because, then the information is archived. As far as the footers go, the list admin CAN turn those off(not a bad idea, cause they are really pretty pointless.) As far as a second group goes.... that's easy enough. You just basically ask for one, and say you'll be the admin for it, since just about everything is done automatically, being a list admin is easy.

Can anyone find out if John Hayden and Mary Griffin were the parents of Nehemiah Hayden (1705-1774). I have John's birth place as Braintree Massachusetts but no way of knowing if they ended up in CT until Nehemiah's death in Guilford, CT.

I'm with you on a lot of this. I think people should reply directly to the person they are responding to, especially when it's just to say thank you.

This is really solved in two ways. First the person doing the replying needs to be aware and make the effort to removed the unnecessary text from the previous messages. The second is anyone reading the message when posted need simply not read into the "endless prior emails". In other words just ignore all that other stuff. As has been stated it is helpful when ready replys to have the original message included. Ernie -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Michael S.
