From Stiles:

Frederick and Ann " . . . settled on the homestead, which had been occupied continuously by his ancestors for four generations, beginning with the first Samule Grant. . . .

"Major Grant, on coming into possession of the paternal estate, found it in an embarrassed condition. His father, Capt. roswell, a man of genial manners, strong social instincts, and largely occupied by public duties which invited expense and laxity of attention to his own affairs, had left a good estate badly encumbered with debts. major Grant assumed these obligations, pledged himself to support his parents, and undertook the redemption of a property that otherwise would have passed to strangers. To this work of love he brought to bear a comprehensive intellect, and imporved the estate until it passed into the hands of his heirs as one of the finest of the many beautiful farms of this wondrously fertile valley. He embodied his beliefs in his life. His bodily infirmities were fiew, and no mental weakness impaired the rare companionship of his declining years. The politician or antiquarian could find no more agreeabe companion with whom to travel the ways of our earlier political and social life than Major Grant. He aided an unusually clear mind with the results of much laborious reading and years of thoughtful observation. A severe and protracted disease of the eyes early in manhood nearly permanently impaired hi svision and rendered the study of books a task through life; yet few of the great questions that affected the European or American politics of his generation were left by him unconsidered.

"In private life Mr.Grant supported a comfortable style and maintained a beautiful old-school hospitality. Few men could receive a guest with greater dignity and more assuring manners than he. His 'your servant, sir,' was the very epitome of graceful urbanity, and at the board or about the hearth his convesation charmed and instructed. To him Stiles, Wolcott, Tarbox, and many others whose charming histories and sketches of colonial life are so well known, went for information on subjects connected with historic Windsor. Mr. Grant never professed religion, but, until late years, was in the habit of gathering his family for daily Scripture reading. He was a pronounced enemy of all frivolous reflections on sacred things, and reverently treasured the traditions of his simple Puritan ancestry. he fitted for college, but was prevented by illness from following out his intentions; held durin ghis life various town offices, selectman, etc.; was somewhat of a military man; app. Corp'l in 2d Co., 1st Cavalry Reg't, 29 Aug., 1822; held successivley the offices of Sgt., Cornet, 2d Lieut., and Captain in same Co.; app. Maj. of 1st Reg't Cav., 31 May, 1832, and declined subsequent offers of military honors."

Children of Frederick Winthrop6 Grant and Ann Ellsworth Stoughton were:

121. Anson6 Hayden (Joseph5, Esther4Grant, Nathaniel3, Samuel2, Matthew1) was born on 14 Feb 1774 at Harwinton, Litchfield Co., CT. He married Mary Ames in 1803. He died on 12 Jan 1852 at age 77.

Anson was born in Harwinton, and probably spent his earlier married life there. He removed thence to Guilford, Chenango Co., NY, and doubtless died there, as his family removed thence the next year, 1853, to Northern Illinois. He was a farmer by occupation. A receipt for his portion of his sister Sarah's estate proves that he was in Guilford as early as 1830. Jabez Hayden.

Benajah Hayden was a farmer; was born and died in Harwinton. Have not the date of his death. I had a letter from him as late as 1846. Thirteen years of his life he devoted to teaching (like a great many Haydens before and since). For many years continuoysly, 1818-1846, and perhaps later, he held the office of Justice of the Peace, and was the first (?) Judge of Probate of Harwinton District, and served five or more years. He took an active interest in the Hayden Genealogy, and I was mainly indebted to him for so much relating to the Harwinton Haydens, as appeared in Stiles' Genealogies, 1859. I think he was the inventor of a way to spell Hayden without thye y. He writes, 1841: "P.S.--You will perceive that i omit the character y in the word Haden, it being a preference I have for doing so." Jabez Hayden.

Children of Judge Benajah6 Hayden and Senee Butler were as follows:

123. William6 Hayden (Joseph5, Esther4Grant, Nathaniel3, Samuel2, Matthew1) was born on 16 Jan 1780. He married Statia Baldwin on 2 Apr 1806. He died on 8 Mar 1811 at age 31.
