Hi Helen:
I think I may have located your ancestral relative, Louisa Bartlett who m. William Dutton Hayward on 5 Nov, 1836. The Vital Statistics of Northboro show a marriage by Lois-W and William Hayward of Hopkinton, occcurring 27 Oct., 1836. This may be the date the intentions were published or it may be the actual wedding date. The births for Northboro show that Lois-White Bartlett, a dau. was born on 3 Apr.,1813 to Gill and Sally Bartlett.
The parents Gill and Sally refer to Gill Bartlett, son of Antipas Bartlett and Lois White, who was b. in Northboro on 15 Oct., 1773. Sally refers to Sally Patterson, the dau. of David Patterson and Beulah Clark, who was b. in France on 30 July, 1776 and d. in Northboro 21 July, 1826. I show 8 children born to Sally, the last of which was Lois-White Bartlett.
Gill and Sally's marriage is shown in the Vital Statistics of Northboro as 25 April, 1796, but based upon a record review that I made in the Northboro Town Clerk's office some years ago, I found the official date to have been 25 Aug., 1796.
Following Sally's death, Gill married Sarah (Crawford) Wyman, the widow of Abraham Wyman and the dau. of Col. John Crawford and Rebecca Mahan who was b. in in Boylston on 6 May, 1795. [Source: unpublished genealogy notes of Gilman Bigelow Howe, ca 1850-1940.] The Vital Statistics of Northboro record this marriage as having taken place on 1 Dec., 1828. Northboro town records indicate that Rev. Joseph Allen officiated.
The 1850 Census reports Gill and Sarah living together in Worcester, at which time he was 77 and she was 55 years of age. Gilman Bigelow Howe reported that Gill Bartlett d. on 5 Jan., 1859; this date is in agreement with the record in the Northboro Town Clerk's office.
I was just searching through my notes to see if I could find the date of death for Sarah (Crawford) Bartlett, but instead I found a third marriage for her at age 71, on 27 Nov., 1866 to Gill Valentine, a 78 year old surveyor who had been born in Hopkinton, the son of William and Elizabeth J. Valentine. It was his second marriage.
Tracing back the Bartlett lineage:
6. Lois-White Bartlett was the dau. of Gill and Sally (Patterson) Bartlett.
5. Gill Bartlett was the son of Antipas and Lois (White) Bartlett. She was b. in Lancaster.
4. Antipas Bartlett was the son of Jotham and Miriam (Howe) Bartlett.
3. Jotham Bartlett was the son of Daniel and Martha (Howe) Bartlett.
2. Daniel Bartlett was the son of Henry and Mary (Bush) Bartlett. She was b. in Cambridge.
1. Henry Bartlett was born in Wales probably between 1655 and 1660. His parentage is not known at this time. ^ In 1675 he served in Capt. Johnson's Company in the War Against King Philip (also known as the ^ Naragansett campaign).
My descent includes Henry and Daniel, but not the other individuals shown above. Hope this information is helpful.

William Hayward
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
William Hayward (b. August 31, 1815 in Hopkinton, Massachusetts; d. 1891) was the man after whom the city of Hayward, California was named. William grew up on his father�s farm, where he was born. In 1836 he proceeded to Georgetown, Massachusetts, and finding employment in a shoe factory there, remained about ten years. In 1838, William married Louisa Bartlett, who died in 1840, leaving one daughter.
Learning of the 1848 discovery of gold in California, William booked passage on the steamer Unicorn which sailed on April 23, 1849, steamed through the Strait of Magellan, and arrived in San Francisco on August 31, 1849. Proceeding to the gold fields, he "mined as long as his money lasted" and then returned to the San Francisco Bay Area, a disappointed gold seeker.
For a while, William squatted on Guillermo Castro's ranch, in Palomares Canyon. Castro tried to evict him, but William persuaded him otherwise by making him a pair of boots. His stubbornness and shoe-making ability convinced Castro to hire him.
William set up a small store and saved up enough money to buy 40 acres of Castro's land including what is now the downtown Hayward area. On this land, he established a store and a small dairy operation. This land was along the road that ran from San Jose to Oakland (now called Mission Boulevard).
Castro emigrated to Chile with most of his family in 1864, after he lost his land in a card game. His ranch was split up and sold to various locals, William among them. He constructed a resort hotel on what is now the corner of Main and A Streets, which eventually grew to a hundred rooms. The surrounding area came to be called "Haywards" after William's hotel which bore the name "Haywards Hotel" (no apostrophe before the "s") (see photo in http://www.haywardareahistory.org/haywardhistory.html).
On April 5, 1866, William married Mrs. Rachael Bedford in Haywards.
Haywards Hotel became a destination for travelers and tourists. It grew to be two stories. Inside the grand building was a large lobby, reception rooms, dining halls, and sitting and card rooms. The hotel also served as a post office. The main force behind the success of Haywards Hotel wasn't William Hayward, but his wife Rachel, who arranged and managed parties, receptions, picnics, rides, and entertainment for guests.
William then became the road commissioner for Alameda County. He used his authority to influence the construction of roads in his own favor. In 1876, the town was chartered under the name of "Haywards". However, it was not legal to name a post office after a living person, so the official name was "Haywood". In 1876, "Haywood" was incorporated as the "Town of Haywards", with a population of 1,100.
William served two terms on the Alameda County Board of Supervisors.
William and Rachel had two children, Mary E. Hayward and William M. Hayward.
William Hayward died in 1891.
In 1894, the "s" in "Haywards" was dropped and on September 18, 1928, the city's name was changed to the "City of Hayward."
