He was buried in Cooper, Maine (Washington).36 Evergreen Cemetery, Cooper, Maine According to his obituary from a local newspaper, Henry Hayward was a farmer who bought property & settled in Cooper, Washington Co., ME about 1838. He operated as a blacksmith and lumbered in addition to farming. He was a Methodist, then an Adventist during the last 25 yrs of his life. According to the 2/1974 newsletter of the Alexander-Crawford Historical Society, pg 15, he lived in the same house from before 1840 until his death. According to the naturalization papers of Henry Hayward of which I have a copy, Henry was born 29 May 1812 in Nova Scotia, left NS on October, 1820 and arrived in Washington Co., Maine in December, 1820. He was naturalized July 8, 1851 while a resident of Cooper, ME (record #10-239 Supreme Court. Judicial Proceedings, Machias, Washington Co., ME) Henry appears in the 1840 census in Cooper, Washington Co., ME (pg. 178) with his family of 2 boys under 5, 1 male 20 under 30, 1 female under 5 and female 20 under 30. This is consistent with the information we have on this family. At the 1850 census, Henry & "Azuba" were still living in Cooper, ME where he was a farmer, born in Nova Scotia. All others in the family were ME-born. Eight children were living with them at this time. At the 1870 census, niece and nephew Esther and Stillman Higgins (children of Asuba's deceased brother Nathan Higgins, Jr) were living with Henry and his wife and family in Cooper. Henry was stricken with paralysis on 1 June 1900 while visiting at home of his daughter, Mrs. Charles Yeaton (Annie Dolly) of Lincoln St., Calais, ME. He died on the 24th of June at her home; the cause of death was cystitis, per his death certificate. The funeral was held from his homestead in Cooper and he is buried at Evergreen Cemetery, at the corner of "county road" and the North Union Road in Cooper, with his wife. He was survived by one brother, Samuel, and 7 of his 13 children. Henry's son Samuel Arthur & wife Jennie lived in Henry and Asuba's old homestead until they moved to Princeton, ME.

The birth of John Freeman Hayward is recorded in Wesley vital records, no parents' names given. However, at the 1850 census, "Freeman Hayward" is shown as the 15 year old son of Henry & Asuba. It appears that he went by the name Freeman all of his life. He was the eldest son, per Henry's obituary, also consistent with the 1850 census. Freeman Hayward appears in the 1860 census living in St. Cloud, Stearns Co, MN, living 2 houses away from his uncle & aunt, John, Jr. and Melinda. I have not located him in the 1870 or later MN censuses. His marriage in ME in 1861 suggests that he returned East. The obituary of his father indicates that he had died before his father, possibly in New Orleans, LA. However, an inquiry in "Downeast Ancestors," Vol 3, No. 4, pg. 32 indicates he died in 1910, possibly in Milltown, Washington Co., Maine. The same inquiry indicates marriages to 1) Mary Ann Ayers (no date) - rather than Mary E. Brisley - and 2) Marion Leeman, 4 Jan. 1899. Marie Harrington confirmed the second marriage at the Augusta, ME state archives in August, 1997 (ref #12, roll #19): md. in Calais, ME 4 Jan 1899, he age 68, bride age 51. This souce also indicates that he resided in South Dakota, but it's not clear if he was resident there at the time of his 1899 marriage. According to the obituary of "Freeman H. Hayward" from an unamed newspaper of 2 Aug. 1911 (probably Milltown or Cooper, ME), Freeman was a resident of Milltown for 12 years prior to his death. He was survivied by a widow and four children from a prior marriage. He was buried in Cooper. | | ii. | Isabelle Hayward146 was born about 1837 in Washington, Maine (Knox).61,100,151 Age 23 in 1860.
