kinsman," <strong>Richard</strong> <strong>Haven</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Lynn</strong>, carpenter; conveying 3000<br />

acres <strong>of</strong> land in Hebron, Conn., which he had by <strong>the</strong> will <strong>of</strong><br />

Joshua Saohem; particularly 1000 acres <strong>the</strong>re<strong>of</strong> to John, son <strong>of</strong><br />

said <strong>Richard</strong>. It is executed with <strong>the</strong> marks and seals <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

grantor, and SUSANNA his wife, and recorded by <strong>the</strong> town clerk <strong>of</strong><br />

Hebron, in 1718, book 1, page 173. It does not appear, by <strong>the</strong><br />

records, that those lands were ever conveyed by any <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> children.<br />

It does however appear, in book 2, page 93, that, in 1726,<br />

one Jonathan PAGE, as heir <strong>of</strong> <strong>Richard</strong> <strong>Haven</strong>, had 35 acres set <strong>of</strong>f<br />

to him from " <strong>Haven</strong>'s right, it being for land lost." This must<br />

have been a grandson <strong>of</strong> <strong>Richard</strong> <strong>Haven</strong>'s son <strong>Richard</strong>.<br />

Records show that children were born <strong>of</strong> RICH-<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Lynn</strong><br />

<strong>The</strong> mo<strong>the</strong>r died at <strong>Lynn</strong>, 7 Feb'y, 1682. In 1692, it was<br />

" Voted that serjeant <strong>Haven</strong>," and seven o<strong>the</strong>rs named, " should<br />

sit in <strong>the</strong> Pulpit." He made his will, 21 May, 1701, a copy <strong>of</strong><br />

which is among <strong>the</strong> last pages. It was proved, 14 June, 1703.<br />

HANNAH HAVEN married a GOODELL. She was a widow<br />

at <strong>Lynn</strong>, at <strong>the</strong> date <strong>of</strong> her fa<strong>the</strong>r's will, living in her own<br />

house, on her fa<strong>the</strong>r's land. It appears, by <strong>the</strong> will, that she had<br />

<strong>the</strong>n a daughter HANNAH, and one or more o<strong>the</strong>r children. On<br />

<strong>the</strong> 15 April, 1704, she was residing in Framingham, and John<br />

<strong>Haven</strong> indemnified <strong>the</strong> town against any charge for <strong>the</strong> support<br />

<strong>of</strong> " his sister Goodell arid child."<br />

MARY HAVEN and SUSANNA HAVEN both married. One<br />

married JOHN TARBOX, and probably left him a widower, without<br />

children. He is called a " son-in-law" in <strong>the</strong> will, and no wife,<br />

or children are mentioned. <strong>The</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r married a COGSWELL,<br />

and had a son WESTOLL, who is called a " grandson" in <strong>the</strong> will.<br />

JOSEPH HAVEN is not alluded to in <strong>the</strong> will. All <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

sons are expressly named. He must have died without children.<br />

had a wife SUSANNA. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Lynn</strong> rec-<br />

Aug. 1677; JOSEPH, 17 Aug. 1680; and SUSANNA, 1 Oct. 16S6. It<br />

appears, by <strong>the</strong> will <strong>of</strong> JOSEPH, made and proved in March, 1748-9,<br />

that he had a " sister, SARAH HAWKS ;" probably older than<br />

SUSANNA. HANNAH married JOHN PARKER, 18 July, 1693, <strong>the</strong>n<br />
