Nathaniel Hayes, Sr., of Lot II, and concerning whom Nathaniel Bouton, D.D.,
orator in 1851, at the two hundredth celebration of the founding of Norwalk, declares
"nothing certain is known of his origin," was in Norwalk as early as 1655. He came
hither, it would appear, with a junior brother, Samuel,""'• born 1640. Nathaniel had a large
family. He reported, in 1672, seven children, of whom three, possibly, died young, as
at the drawing of his will, Apr. 7, 1705, and its inventory. Mar. 12, 1706-7, these children
only are mentioned :
 

Samuel, "''•
Nathaniel,^^•
 

the father of Ezra Gregory, 'st. the patriot, whose
daughter Sarah married Jesse Sterling, who was the
father-in-law of the late P. C. Calhoun, President of
the Fourth National Bank, N. Y. City. President
Calhoun's grandson, the late Harry W Latham of
Los Angeles, Cal., one of the purest and most prom¬
ising of Norwalk school youth, and one of the rarest
of his rising generation, died this year, greatly be¬
loved and deeply lamented.

The parent of Ezra Gregory', 'st. selected for a
home for two of his sons, Ezra and Matthew, ^d.^ the
site in the green Wilton field, and beneath its blue
sky, to-day the ownership of Julian Gregory. The
old house, out of the portals of which passed the
valorous Ezra '«'■, who lives in the veneration of
" children's children " of the third generation, exists
to this hour. From thence emanated Benjamin, the
youngest of the family of Ezra,'st-and who was the
father of the more recent Dudley S. Gregory, the
New Jersey capitalist, and of New York and Jersey
City ferry fame.    Mary, the sister of Dudley S., be-

came the wife of one of this nation's artists, Catlin,
the Indian painter, of whose high name time and
change cannot rob him. His works adorn the Smith¬
sonian Institute, Washington, D. C.

Matthew,2d. brother of Ezra,'st. occupied the still
standing structure on the hill, the first to the west of
the Wilton Congregational Church. At the time of
Tryon's Danbury raid, the troops as they approached
Matthew Gregory's dwelling, struck up a drum air.
The men at once drove the horses and cattle to the
woods. Upon reaching the house a shot - voUev
was discharged, but with no harmful effect. Mrs.
Gregory at that time was praying with and protecting
her children in the cellar.

Dr. Ira Gregory of Norwalk, was the son of Mo¬
ses, who was the son of Ezra Gregory.

'Timothy Stone Pinneo, born at Milford, Conn.,
Feb. 18, 1804. Graduated from Yale College, 1824,
and from Lane Seminary, Cincinnati, Ohio, as a phy¬
