She was born 10 Jan. 1790 in Farmington and died 14 May 1874, aged 84y. 4m. 4d., in Dover (N.H.V.R.; also, Dover Enquirer of 21 May 1874). John HAYES of Dover, NH, 1936, p.200-201 130 JOSEPH-5 HAYES, JR. (Joseph-4, Paul-3, John-2, John-1), born 1 Aug. 1783 in a part of Barrington, now Strafford, N.H.; died 24 Mar. 1872 in Dover, N.H., aged 88y. 7m. 24d.; buried with his wife in Pine Hill Cemetery, Dover (gravestone, Bible, and Dover Enquirer of 28 Mar. 1872); married 7 Jan. 1808 by Rev. Joseph Haven to LOIS-5 DEMERITT (Paul-4, Major John-3, John-2, Eli-l), daughter of Paul and Elizabeth (Davis) Demeritt of Farmington, N.H. She was born 10 Jan. 1790 in Farmington and died 14 May 1874, aged 84y. 4m. 4d., in Dover (N.H.V.R.; also, Dover Enquirer of 21 May 1874). NOTE: Her grandfather, Major John Demeritt, was one of the band of men who captured the gunpowder at Fort William and Mary in Dec. 1774. It was stored under his barn with a powder train to his house, so it could be set off if the British came to take it. It remained there until June 1775 when he carried it by ox-team to Charlestown in time for use in the battle of Bunker Hill. Joseph lived on the homestead in the "Crown Point" section of Strafford, N.H., now known as Strafford Corner, until late in life, when the town of Strafford purchased his farm and he removed to Dover. His family appears on the 1850 Census of Strafford and the 1860 and 1870 Census of Dover. In 1870 he is recorded at the age of 87, a "retired merchant," and the estate of himself and son David is valued at $20,000. In Apr. 1851, Elder Enoch HAYES Place says in his Journal, "Went to C. Point to Bro. Joseph HAYES auction. Esq. HAYES has sold his farm to selectmen for use of the town. * * * Bro. HAYES expects to leave town." Again, in Feb. 1853, Elder Place says, "Visited Bro. Joseph HAYES [Dover] formerly of Crown Point." Joseph HAYES was instrumental in the building of the Methodist Church at "Crown Point" for which he furnished the land near his own house; he shared his house with the ministers' families for many years. There is a record that he loaned a thousand dollars to William Trickey-Milton to buy a bell for the church for which Mr. Trickey never paid. When the church building was demolished, the bell was sold by Joseph for sixty dollars, and after serving as a factory bell at "Goodwinville," and as a school bell for the Milton Classical Institute, it finally "came to its own" again in the belfry of the present Free Baptist Church of Milton Three Ponds. The site of the old Methodist Church at "Crown Point," Strafford Corner, is revealed only by a few foundation stones and the old cemetery close by with its graves of the HAYES family. His will is in Strafford County Probate, 84:547. Children, born in Strafford, N.H.: 347 BREWSTER-6 HAYES, b. 26 Sept. 1808.

DEMERRIT-6 HAYES, b. 17 Sept. 1812; d. 8 Jan. 1839. Elder Enoch HAYES Place says in his Journal, 5 Apr. 1838, "Prayed with Bro. Demeritt HAYES for the last time," and on 17 May 1838, "Visited Bro. Demeritt HAYES, a young man recently fallen from a horse whom I believe will not recover."

Perkins, 37. John Stark HAYES besides being an auctioneer of note, was a teacher of music and penmanship.
