I dedicate this LONDON FAMILY HISTORY
in loving memory of my mother,
Violet Lillian LONDON-HAYWOOD.
She was born 20 April 1910, died 6 December 1986.
INDEX You will find an index at the beginning of each GENERATION.

    I cannot claim to be a "genealogist", however, I have attempted to
research families in my background, as well as those of my husband.

    I began collecting & recording this information as early as 1967,
partly because my sons were not aware if or how they were related to
other persons, & I doubt that they are yet aware or are interested to
any great extent at the present time.  Perhaps someone following my
generation will again show interest in this subject of Family Trees &
will find my research of some value or interest.

    I am using the Roots III program so the individual numbers are
automatically assigned by this program.  Page 1, the number 1 has
been assigned to Dominicus SEWELL, therefore, the number 2 will be seen
in the next generation.  2 iii Nicholas SEWELL does not appear
elsewhere.

    NEW BRUNSWICK HISTORICAL TIDBITS 
     
     by Mitch Biggar, Sept, 1999 Bugle:

    On the St. John River 1762-1770-
 A number of British settlers came to the St. John River, some were
 traders, others were retired military officers. As early as 1762 a
 band of New Englanders settled Oromocto Island. In 1763 a band of
 settlers from Massachusetts found their way up the St. John River &
 established a township, which they named Maugerville.  Joshua Mauger
 was the English agent through whom they obtained the land.
    This settlement included what is now Maugerville & Sheffield &
 by 1765 General Thomas Gage  &  19  of his friends from New York were
 given a grant of 20,000 acres where the French Settlement of Grimross
 had been.  Two years later the grant was transferred to Stephen KEMBLE
 but continued to be called Gagetown. In the vicinity of what is now
 Westfield, Captain Beamsley Glasier was given a grant of 5,000 acres.
    At the mouth of the river at Fort Frederick was a garrison under
 the command of Captain Gilfred Studholme.  On 28 Aug. 1762 James
 Simonds, Richard Simmons, Hugh Quinton, Francis Peabody and James
 Quinton arrived from Haverhill, Massachusetts. In 1764 they were
 joined by William Hazen, James White, & thirty others. In 1765 the
 Council of Nova Scotia gave John Anderson & Capt. Isaac Caton a
 licence to trade with the Indians on the St. John River.  Anderson
 established his trading-post at the mouth of the Nashwaak while Caton
 settled on the Island of Emenenic which has ever since been called
 CATON'S ISLAND.
    During this time the Acadians were also given permission to return
 to New Brunswick provided that they take the oath of allegiance to the
 British Crown.  In 1766, 800 came from Boston, upon their arrival some
 settled at St. Anne's Point while others settled at Saint John.  Three
 years later in 1770 Lieu. William Owen brought a colony of 30 settlers
 to Campobello.  There were also scattered settlements of New England
 fisherman along the coast of Charlotte County & the islands of the Bay
 of Fundy"

    QUOTES FROM "THE HISTORY OF CENTRAL NEW BRUNSWICK by L.M.B.
Maxwell":- "The first Maugerville trusteed (from the original at 
New Brunswick
Crown Land Office) Granted in 1761 #3 Samuel Nevers, #5 Richard
Kembell; #70 Geo Hayward 28 Oct 1779.

    Richard Kembell from Essex Co., Mass
    George Hayward moved across river to Lincoln

    The County town & chief business centre of the St. John River
valley for almost 20 years was Maugerville.  The first representatives
elected from the legislature  at Halifax from the old Sunbury County
of Nova Scotia were Capt. Thomas FALCONER... (note, present Sunbury
County, New Brunswick, was part of Nova Scotia)

    A SEWELL of Maugerville left home for a year to fight in the
Revolution for the Crown. (N.B. Cn. Ld. Off.)

    Sunbury Township settlers: Following is a memorial by Robert Smyth
(N.B. Cn. Ld. Off.) "In 1765 by letter patent under the great Seal of
the Province of Nova Scotia, the Townships of Sunbury, Burton, Gage,
Conways & Newton were granted to Thomas FALCONER & others."

    "The Settlers of Morrisania & Goldsborough, east of Sunbury
Township, are omitted from the Studholme report. Among them were
Samuel Nivers (Nevers Road), John HAYWARD, whose log house said to be
the oldest house in Sunbury County is still standing on the St.
John-Fredericton highway near its Junction with the Camp road, Wm.
Bakier (Baker's Brook), & Capt. Benj. Glasier.  John HAYWARD was the
grandfather of Hon. George HAYWARD who died in 1862."

    "William A. HAYWARD was sheriff of Carleton Co...warden of 
Carleton County
1872-73-74 Amos H. HAYWARD; 1876 & 1878 A. H. HAYWARD; 1879 G. Leonard
