Jedidiah Hayden

A tiny historic blurb about Olive Hayden's grandfather:

"In the spring of 1799, Jedidiah Hayden made a small clearing in the eastern part of the town of Madison, upon the shore of a beautiful pond which is known as Hayden Lake. The next summer Hayden moved his family to the town.

In 1812, Jedidiah Hayden purchased one thousand acres of land, extending across Merrill's Flats. There were seven brothers by the name of Hayden, who settled in the town of Madison, about the beginning of the century. "The History of Madison " by Emma Folsom Clark
