Posted on: USGenWeb Windham County, Vt Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Vt/Windham/11459 Surname: Howard ------------------------- I have the following on James Hayward/Lois Parmenter. I believe that James married only Lois PARMENTER. Several printed sources state that he married Hannah PARMENTER as a 2nd wife. Hannah married James ALBEE not James Hayward. I hope the following will help support my belief. 1. James5 HAYWARD (Jonathan4, Jonathan3, William2, William1) was born 18 February 1723/24 in Mendon, Worcester Co., MA1,2, and died Bef. February 1778 in Douglas, Worcester Co., MA3,4. He married Lois PARMENTER 17 April 1746 in Mendon, Worcester Co., MA5,6, daughter of Elias PARMENTER and Thankful PARMENTER. She was born 13 May 1729 in Hopkinton, Middlesex Co., MA7. Sources: 1. Inez (Howard) Illingworth, "William Hayward of Weymouth & Braintree, MA," Unpublished mss. ca 1970. 2.
