Dr. Pardon Haynes was elected hogrief in 1790 have come to Rowe in 1788. p. 157. of Rowe, Mass., 1790. p. 86. Pardon Haynes was the town physician for many years, namely from 1788 to 1832. In the seating of the meeting house in 1820 he was rated second only to Rev. Preserved Smith. The town in 1825 allowed only a part of his bill of $81.87 "for Doctoring" various families in the town and he was obliged to enter suit in order to collect the whole. He was born in New London, Conn., in 1762 and when 15, came with his father to Hoosac. He studied medicine with a brother; and after a short practice in Hebron, N.Y. he came to Rowe, where he built up a large practice. His traveling was mostly by horseback and in winter occasionally on show-shoes; and many tales are told of his narrow escapes when fording the Deerfield or the like. Under commissions from Governors John Hancock and Samuel Adams he commanded the military company and had the best-disciplined company in Gen. Mattoon's regiment. We should not confuse old Doctor Haynes with his son Pardon Haynes who was a practical joker. Dr. Pardon HAYNES and Hannah HOLLOWAY were married on 3 FEB 1790 in Conway, Franklin, Massachusetts. Vital Records of Conway, Massachusetts to the Year 1850, published by the New England Historic Genealogical Society, Boston, Mass. 1943. p. 157. of Conway, Mass., 1790.

Vital Records of Conway, Massachusetts to the Year 1850, published by the New England Historic Genealogical Society, Boston, Mass. 1943. p. 86. Pardon Haynes, Jr. who was practical joker. He lived on the Canedy farm on the County Road (we must be careful not to use this term loosely, for more than one road was thus called in the old records). Often preferring to work than to attend church, he one Sunday perceived his neighbor Josiah Carpenter approaching on his way to the sanctuary. Being in the potato patch, he had no time to dodge behind the house, but sought a hiding place in a hogshead. Now his brother Anson Haynes who was known to be a little "queer," took in the situation and quietly came up and set the hogshead rolling down hill. The sequel may be left to the reader's imagination. Pardon Haynes, Jr., liked to play jokes on the other fellow. It seems that Abijah Burnap was elected to the school committee which was an agreeable job, all except traveling to obtain new teachers, for he had no team. He was heard to complain on this score and thought that some of his neighbors might lend him a horse. One morning he found a horse of wood near his door with tail and mane made of small spruce trees. Grandma Grundy says that it was the work of "that Pardon Haynes." 4 iii. Anson HAYNES. Second Generation 2. Electa HAYNES. Electa HAYNES and Humphrey GOULD were married on 11 JUN 1827 in Rowe, Franklin, Massachusetts. Humphrey GOULD (son of Zaccheus GOULD Sr.) was born on 3 JUL 1797 in Topsfield, Essex, Massachusetts. He died on 8 AUG 1874 in Rowe, Franklin, Massachusetts. Vital Records of Conway, Massachusetts to the Year 1850, published by the New England Historic Genealogical Society, Boston, Mass. 1943. p. 87. Dr. Humphrey Gould came to Rowe as successor to Dr. Haynes, whose daughter he married. He also lived on the farm recently owned by the late Edward Wright, and his daughter, the latter married. The old inhabitants remember Dr. Gould as "a fine courtly man, well educated, a good neighbor,' and a constant attendant at church. He was absent-minded and of course this led to many ludicrous mistakes. He was usually the first one to bring out his sleigh, after the first fall of snow. Amzi Langdon one day came for the doctor in great haste and said that the well-sweep had fallen on his wife and knocked her sensible! Dr. Gould died in 1874 at the ripe age of 77. Electa HAYNES and Humphrey GOULD had the following children: +5 i. Electa Haynes GOULD (born on 1 AUG 1828). +6 ii. Hannah GOULD (born on 18 DEC 1836). Third Generation 5.
