HAYNES/HAINES
Walter Haynes was born in Sutton,
Wiltshire, England. He sailed to New
England aboard the Confidence in 1638
with his wife, children and three servants.
He settled at Watertown and was a linen weaver, but a year later left
with several other families to found the town of Sudbury on 22 December
1639. He became a freeman in 1640, representative
to the General Court and selectman for ten years
Walter Haynes’s will, dated 1659,
shows his daughter and my ancestor, Sufferana (don’t you love that Puritan
name?) listed as Treadway “Treddoway”.
She was a child on board the Confidence
when the family came to America. Walter’s
place of burial is unknown. He died on 14 February 1665 and his will was proved
on 4 April 1665.
A garrison house Walter Haynes built on the west side of
Sudbury saw action during an attack 21 April 1675, about ten years after his
death. The settlers hiding inside were saved from burning to death when the Indians rolled a burning hay wagon towards the house.
For more information:
The complied
genealogy for this family is Walter Haynes of Sutton Mandeville,
Wiltshire, England & Sudbury, Mass. & His Descendants, 1583-1928,
by Frances Haynes, 1929. Another good
resource is The Ancestry of Calvin Robinson Mower (1840 – 1927), by Lyman
Mower, 2004, pages 299 – 313. Walter Haynes is mentioned many times in the
book The
History of Sudbury, Massachusetts, 1638 – 1889 by Alfred Sereno Hudson,
1889.

Heather, very interesting. I am descended from his son Josiah(s), as well as several other of the settlers of Sudbury. Josiah's daughter Abigail married Hopestill Brown and then I have three generations of Hopestill Brown's. Thank you for the books which I will pursue.
ReplyDeleteWorldCat doesn't have copies of the first book anywhere near my place (Vancouver BC), but your posting - and the above comment - adds more to my information about the Haynes family. They are immigrant settlers in my ex-hubby's family, which goes through Walter's son John Haynes, who married Dorothy Noyes (m. 13 Oct 1642). John arrived the year before the family, living with his father's sister Elizabeth Read. Love those early names - Hopestill, Sufferana. Thanks for posting - every time you mention a family, I open my family tree and start searching to see if there's a common name. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteHello. I am a direct descendant of Nathaniel Treadway. He was my Great 10th Grandfather. I live in Medfield, MA and Josiah Treadway was my direct Great Grandfather #9. Maybe you could drop me an email with subject TREADWAY ANCESTRY and we can correspond. By the way, Josiah took a second wife, Dorothy Bell, niece of Alexander Graham Bell. Interesting Stuff... peter.treadway@yahoo.com
