ious connection between witnessing this agreement for the first
schoolhouse of Cambridge and the subsequent literary career of
certain members of the family.

As long as Richard Hildreth remained in Cambridge, he was
appointed almost every year to some office of trust by the selectmen
or by the town meeting.

Besides filling various civil offices, Richard Hildreth was also
Sergeant of Militia. This fact comes out in the records of the town
of Cambridge, for the year 1654. The clerk writes that Ensign
Winship and Sergeant Hildreth were appointed to view fences.

Richard Hildreth removed to Chelmsford in 1656, and was
received into the Church, of which Rev. John Risk was minister.

Richard Hildreth attained the age of eighty-eight. His grand-
children numbered fifty-eight, most of them born in his lifetime.
Richard died in 1693, Feb. 23d. His wife, Elizabeth, followed him
a few months later. James his eldest son, joined him two years
after, aged sixty-four, and in two years more Robert Proctor took
the long journey to the land where meadow boundaries are of little
consequence.

Saint Richard lies buried in the ancient graveyard of Chelmsford.
It was long thought that the gravestone was not in existence, but
Henry 0. Hildreth found it, and steps were later taken to preserve
this gravestone.

HINDS ANCESTRY

The origin of the surname "Hind," "Hinde" and "Hinds" is
doubtless to be referred to the word-root "hyne" or "hine" of the
old English and Scotch languages. This root, which in one form
or another is found in most of the ancient tongues included in both
the Germanic and Celtic families of languages, occurs in the Anglo-
Saxon in the term "hina-man," an expression meaning a tiller of
the ground or farmer. With a "d" suffixed, the same root appears
in early English in the word "hind," meaning in general, a peasant,
farmer or dweller in the country, and in this form and with essentially
the same meaning, it has continued in the language of England to
the present day, as shown in the lines:

The hind, that homeward driving the slow steer
Tells how man's daily work goes forward there.

This surname then, sturdy Enghsh in origin as shown by its
form, and closely related to similar names found among all the
nations of northwestern Europe today, has a history that reaches
far back through the dim vistas of the past, and may well be believed



152 Three Hundred Colonial Ancestors and War Service

to be one of the earliest names to have been commonly used as a
surname.

As surname originally designated occupation, estate, place of
residence, or some personal trait or peculiarity, we infer that this
name had its origin in the large body of English "freeholders,"
or small land-owners, usually designated collectively by the term
"yeomanry," that "bold peasantry, their country's price," their
sinewy arms equally skilled to guide the plough or bend the tough
bow in defense of Saxon liberty under the standard of the king.
And is it to be esteemed a greater honor that one's ancestors should
have come to old England with William the Norman, than to have
been found stubbornly fighting around the standard of the "Golden
Dragon of Wessex," when the stout-hearted Saxon yeomanry, with
fierce cries of "Out! Out!" repelled their onslaughts against Harold,
the "Last of the Saxons?"

Another explanation of the origin of this surname, transfers it
from the class including those of Smith, Baker and Carpenter to
that containing Bird, Fish, Lamb, etc., in other words, refers its
origin to the Anglo-Saxon word, "hind," the name applied to the
female of the red deer. This noble animal, "goodliest of all the
forest, hart and hind," was in early days very common in England
and a much sought object of the chase. Another spelling of the
name is shown in these lines from an old Enghsh song:

As I came frae hynd-hunting
Sweet music reached my ears.

That this surname, as well as that of Hart and Roe, did in some
instances as least, originate in this manner, seems to be indicated
by an old Enghsh coat-of-arms belonging to the family of

"Hynde. A hind's head couped, ppr., collared, or, in the mouth
a rose, gules, leaved vert."

Whether or not this early bearer of the surname of Hynde rejoiced
as did one of old when he exclaimed, "Thou makest my feet like
hind's feet and settest me up upon my high places!" he certainly
showed taste in the selection of this emblem, for not only is this
animal swift and sure-footed, but is often possessed of instincts so
nearly human that it was no exaggeration when King Solomon spoke
of "the loving hind and pleasant roe," or when the poet Campbell
sang the praises of "Wiesbaden's Gentle hind" that

watched the sleeping child
As if it were her own.

This explains the fact that the term "hynd" early came to have
the meaning, courteous or gentle attached to it, as in the case of
the old English ballad of "Hynd Horn," from which two stanzas are
quoted :

Near the King's court was a young child born,

With a hey liUelu and a how lo Ian;
And his name it was called Young Hynd Horn,

And the birk and the broom blooms bonnie.



Three Hundred Colonial Ancestors and War Service 153



Seven Lang years he served the King,

With a hey lillelu and a how lo Ian;
And it's a' for the sake o' his daughter Jean,

And the birk and the broom blooms bonnie.

In connection with the statement made above the coat-of-arms
of the family of Hinde of Northumberland is both interesting and
significant, giving expression as it does to the irrestible power of
courtesy and kindness.

"On a rock a dove, azure, wings, or in the beak an olive branch. Meseris
Buccurrere disco." (I study to reUeve the distressed.)

But the following are more warlike :

"Hynd of London. A hand, gules, holding an eagle's claw, ppr."
"Hind. An ensign in full dress, with cocked hat, holding aloft the standard
of Britain."

Although it is customary at the present time to think of the sur-
name of "Hind" and ''Hinds" as being radically different from that
of "Haines," "Haynes" and ever "Hine," and although it appears
probable that these different forms were originally derived from
different sources, it is still doubtless true that all of these as well
as several others, are frequently applied to descendants of a common
ancestor. People were very careless about spelling two hundred
years ago, and it is by no means unlikely that a similar license
existed in matters of pronunciation. Indeed, it is evident that
many of the common surnames of families in colonial times, were
persistently mispronounced, till in some instances they were radi-
cally changed. Haskins and Hoskins, Stetson and Stutson, Kemp-
ton and Kimpton, Barnes and Burnes, and scores of others might
be named as illustrations for it is common to find both spellings
very early, and referring to persons known to be of common descent.

So it would not be strange if the surname "Hinds" should have
had similar liberties taken with it, and have been pronounced with
its predominant vowel sound, either long "i" or long "a", according
to the habit or fancy of the speaker.

But we may feel positive that when the name was spelled "Hind"
or "Hinds" in town or church records, that the writer, at least, was
accustomed to pronounce it with the vowel sound of long "i" for
all words of that form in the language, as bind, find, kind, etc., and
there are many of them, were then, as now, thus pronounced. The
only present exception is the word "wind" used as a noun, and this
was no exception in early times and still retains its ancient pro-
nunciation in music and poetry.

But when the name "Hinds" appears in public records as "Hains"
or "Haines," as it frequently does, we cannot feel the same degree
of certainty as to the pronunciation that the writer intended to
express, and we suspect that the "ai" in the name as thus spelled
was, sometimes at least, pronounced as in "aisle" although today
the vowel sound given in the word "gain" would be intended.

This seems to be the simplest explanation of the fact that the
surname of James Hinds of Salem, 1637, so frequently appears as



154 Three Hundred Colonial Ancestors and War Service

"Hains," "Haines," and "Haynes," in the early records of that
town, and parish, though Savage and other genealogists agree in
giving the correct spelling as ''Hinds" or "Hindes." Otherwise,
we are forced to the more probable conclusion first suggested, that
the name was differently pronounced by different individuals.

If any further explanation is needed to show how these forms
may have started from a single name, it seems to be supplied by
the numerous variations of the surname of James Hinds, of Salem,
already referred to, as it appears in the town and church records
of that place. Truly the names of his posterity are epitomized in
his own, for no less than nine distinct spellings occur in records
still in existence. They are as follows: Hinds, Hindes, Hynds,
Hynes, Hines, Heines, Hains, Haines, Haynes. It is possible that
this list is not complete.

Here is elasticity surely! And Long Island remains to be heard
from for he ultimately made that his home. It may be hoped that
the good people of Southold, where his closing years were spent,
finally learned how to pronounce and spell this troublesome name.

What was true of James Hinds, of Salem, was also true, though
not in the same degree, of others bearing the surname of Hinds and
Haynes in colonial times. John Haynes, illustrious governor of
Massachusetts and afterward of Connecticut, was no exception,
for his name was frequently misspelled in the public records of the
time and even in the "Magnalia Christi" of Cotton Mather. (See
Hist, and Gen. of Hinds Family by A. H. Hinds, pp. 1-4.)

First Generation in America

1. James Hinds (Heynes, Haynes, Hindes) the emigrant,
came to this country, probably from England and landed in Salem,
Mass., as early as 1637, when he was admitted as a freeman. He
married in 1638, and at an early day removed to Southold, L. I.,
where he died in March, 1652/3, his estate being valued at £123,
5s. 4d. His widow was married in June, 1656, to Ralph Dayton, of
Southold. Benjamin Haines, who was at Southampton in 1639,
and a resident of North Sea (Northampton) in 1657, was probably
a brother to James. He was the grandfather of Stephen, who moved
to Elizabeth, N. J., as early as 1725, and was probably the ancestor
of Gov. Daniel Haines.

The following is communicated by A. M. Haines, Esq., of Galena,
111., to the "New England Historical and Genealogical Register"
in 1883.

James Haines removed from Salem, Mass., to Southold, L. I.,
about 1651/2 and was a cooper by profession. He is described in a
deed made Aug. 7, 1660, as "James Haynes, late of Salem, in the
county of Essex," etc., which is on record at Southold. His name
is written on the Salem church records Haines, Haynes and Hindes.
Hatfield in his history of Elizabeth, N. J., states that John Haynes
appears at Elizabeth among the first sixty-five settlers, Feb. 19,
1665. This John Hinds or Haines, and his brother James, were
sons of James Hinds of Salem, Mass., and Southold, L. I.,



Three Hundred Colonial Ancestors and War Service 155

and were bred coopers, etc. A John Hinds died at Elizabeth, N. J.,
in 1749, and John Dayton was one of his executors.

We have failed to trace the first James Hindes or Haines beyond
Salem, but he undoubtedly came from Salem.

The following is the will of James Hinds, which was made March
1, 1652:

"I, James Haynes being weake in bodie, but by divine Providence in p'fect
memorie do make this my last will and testament:

"Impris. I doe give and bequeath that small estate the Lord hath been
pleased to lend me to my loving wife Mary HajTies my children being Smale for
to bring them upp withall only my tooles that belong to my calling I give them
all to my oldest sonn John Haynes.

"2d. My will is that my children continue with my wife till they be twenty
one years of age, th' older laboring to be a help to bring upp the younger, unless
Providence order it otherwise that she shall dispose of herselfe in marriage and
then shall see or have cause to put any of them to some honest trade or callinge.

"I leave it to her & my loving friends Mr. John Youngs, Sen: & John Herbert
my overseers to dispose of, or in case she should not dispose of herself in marriage,
that she finds not herselfe able to govern them, or that it bee not advantagious to
the family to keep them aU at home, then I leave it to her, and my aforesaid
overseers to dispose of them. In testimony hereof I have sett my hand the

This will and inventory seem to have been recorded on the fifth
day of December, in the "Southold Town Records," Liber B.,
p. 91, from which volume this copy was made, October 15, 1881.
His widow, Mary, married in June, 1656, Ralph Dayton, in Southold.

The records of the First Congregational Church of Salem, Mass.,
show that this James Haines was a member as early as Dec. 25,
1637, and the baptism of his eight children are recorded as follows:

1. John, b. Aug. 28, 1639. 5. James, bap. Dec. 27, 1647-8.

2. James, bap. Aug. 2, 1641. 6. Jonathan, bap. April 11, 1648.

3. Benjamin, bap. Aug. 26, 1643. 7. Sarah, bap. April 11, 1648.

4. Mary, bap. Feb. 19, 1646. 8. Thomas, bap. March 4, 1651.

Second Generation
John Hinds, (son of James Hinds) born Aug. 28, 1639; and died
in Lancaster, Mass., in March, 1720. He married (first) a woman,
of whom no record can be found. By her, he had one son and prob-
ably others. He married (second) in Lancaster, Feb. 9, 1681/2,
Mary Butler, widow of James Butler, an early proprietor and planter
of Lancaster. Her name is found mentioned in the Billerica records.
He went from Woburn in 1676 to Lancaster, thence to Brookfield
and from there back to Lancaster again.

Temple's "History of North Brookfield" says:
"John Hinds from Woburn, settles Lancaster, that part which became
Bolton, May 25, 1710. He had a grant of 62 acres in Brookfield and in all 199



156 Three Hundred Colonial Ancestors and War Service

acres; sold house lot, April 13, 1719, to son John and returned to Lancaster,
â– where he died, March 1720."

A few years after his death, his wife, executrix, "sells lands to
her loving son, John of Brookfield." This piece of land was sold,
Oct. 14, 1724.

The "Annals of Lancaster" says:

"John hinds hath this thirtie acre lott Granted by the tovm Lying one the east
side of the Nashaway River in several places one piece Lying to the Southeast of
Rattlesnake hill .... more he hath a peice Laid out at the head of the Little
Brook that Runs threw James Butler's land near his houseplace."

The "History of Lancaster" says:

"John Hinds was one of those directed to garrison 'ye east side of ye river,
under John Moore, commander, April 20, 1704'."

The true copy of the last will and testament of John Hinds, dated
March 8, 1719/20, is recorded in East Cambridge, Mass.

Children by first wife :

1. James, resided in Lancaster on lands of his father.

Children by second wife:

2. John, b. in Lancaster, Jan. 19, 1683.

3. Jacob, b. prob. in Brookfield, in 1685.

8. Enoch, b. Oct. 30, 1717.

Third Generation

Jacob Hinds, son of John and Mrs. Mary (Butler) Hinds, born
probably in Brookfield, Mass., in 1685, and died in West Boylston,
Mass.; married in Marlboro, Mass., Dec. 6, 1716, Grace Morse,
daughter of Joseph and Hester (Peirce) Morse. She was born in
Watertown, Mass., June 7, 1694. Her maternal grandparents were
John and Elizabeth Peirce. Her father at the age of twenty-four
embarked at Ipswich, England, in April, 1634, in the ship "EKza-
beth," William Andrews, master. He settled in Watertown, where
he was one of the proprietors and was admitted as a freeman. May
6, 1635. He was the oldest son of Joseph and Deborah Morse, who
came to America probably a year or two later than their son.

Jacob Hinds was a farmer of Marlborough, where his name is
found spelled on the public records "Hins." In 1717, he was one
of the Marlborough people to settle Shrewsbury. From Shrewsbury,
he moved his family in 1720, to West Boylston and was probably
the first white settler in that section. He lived on house lot No. 33,
in 1729. He was on the muster roll of Captain Asa Whitcomb, in
whose company he was a corporal.

The "History of Shrewsbury" says:

"The settlers who located Shrewsbury had divided among them, by the

General Court, land for which grantee was to pay, within six years, £3 128. 6d.

Land was granted to forty-five persons. Jacob Hinds received lot 33 of sixty

acres. The grants were finally completed, Dec. 18, 1718. Some years afterwards,



Three Hundred Colonial Ancestors and War Service 157

the proprietors required a count to be made to show how much meadow was
allotted to each. This record shows in part this: 'Lot No. 33, Granted to Jacob
Hinds Dec. 30, 1718. Thiss 33d House Lot in Shrewsbury contains in it 60 acres,
and hath a 50 acre right belonging to it, &c., and lyeth near the S. E. angle of the
Ministerial lot, and is bounded every way by undivided land. He hath for his
division of meadow the sixth lot on Muddy Meadow. This lot No. 33, is now
Feb. 12, 1729, in possession of Jacob Hinds'."

Jacob's will ("Worcester Wills," Vol. Ill, p. 538), dated Sept. 24,
1764, and accompanying papers name the following chUdren:
Joseph; Benjamin; Jason and Jacob ; Abigail, wife of Josiah Broad;
Tabitha, wife of Bezebel Field; Mary, wife of Joshua Child; Sarah,

Holland. She was born May 4, 1742, and died in West Boylston,
June 4, 1826. Benjamin's two wives were cousins. He was a
