HINDS John (2) Hinds, son of John (1) Hinds, was born in Brookfield, Massachusetts, January 19, 1683, and died there October 10, 1747. He married Mrs. Hannah (Whitaker)* Corliss, of Haverhill, born September, 1691. She married (third) June 18**, 1749, Oliver Heyward, who died at Brookfield, September 24, 1764. She was the heroine of a historical incident at Haverhill, while living in the home of Mr. Rolfe, in which she saved the lives of his children. At her death she left thirteen children, all by John Hinds, eighty-two grandchildren and seventeen great-grandchildren. John Hinds was on a committee of five, January 23, 1728, to divide Brookfield into four parts. He built a mill on Horse Pond, Brookfield, as early as 1738, and sold it to his son Seth. He was in Captain Thomas Buckminster's company in August, 1748, in the garrison at Fort Dummer. He made his will, May 10, 1749, and mentions nine children. He resided at Lancaster until 1719, and in Brookfield afterward. Children: Anna, John, Frances, Mary, Seth, Jonathan, Dinah, Corliss, Rachel, Tryphena, Cornelius, Submit, Susannah. [ref 29:2-652]

  • this is not a first marriage, Hannah sometimes used the Whittaker name of her step-father
  • conflicting date

called "Anna" in most of the records and many granddaughters by that name

1708 survived Indian attack by hiding in an apple chest; Hannah saved several of Rev. Rolfe's children by hiding them under tubs (a black servant, Hagar, is also credited in some reports with saving these children)

DEATH OF MRS. ANNA (WHITTAKER) HEYWARD

Mr. Sibley, the Librarian of Harvard College, to whom we are under obligation for many old newspapers which we have republished from time to time, furnishes the following extracts from the Massachusetts Gazette for Sept 27, 1764. Our readers will find in the second volume of the Register, a genealogical sketch of the Checkley Family, prepared by Mr. Drake, in which an account is given of the preservation of the Rev Mr. Rolfe, but Mr. Drake gives credit to Hagar, a Negro servant, while Anna Whitaker has respresented herself as having hidden in an apple chest. See Register II, Page 353, and the authorities there cited.

Brookfield, September 24, 1764

"On the 8th Inst., died after a few days illness, Mrs. Anna Heyward, in the 74th year of her age, the wife of Oliver Heyward, Esq. She has left by a former Husband 13 children, 82 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren, in all 112. She was very useful as a mid-wife and in her last sickness had the most unshaken trust in the Mercy of God, through the redeamer. In her youth, when the savages invaded Haverhill, she saved two children of the Rev. Mr. Rolf's by hiding them in the cellar after the indians had enter'd the House while they were glutting their rage on the parents; the two indians followed her into the cellar; yet such was her presence of mind and dexterity that she conceal'd the children and herself that they escaped their notice; and they were the only members of the famly at home to survive the bloody carnage".* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Dec 1 2020, 18:39:49 UTC
