Hanson Hayes was born in Milton, January 13, 1792, son of James C. and Elizabeth (Twombly) Hayes.

Hanson Hayes, H. Meserve, and John Remick, Jr., were the Milton selectmen of 1819-20. One of the issues with which their board had to deal was the Milton militia dispute of 1820. (Hanson Hayes had been a Milton militia officer in 1814).

Milton Selectmen - 1820
Selectmen Hn Hayes, Hopley Meserve, and John Remick, Jr., recommended the appointment of Gilman Jewett as a Milton justice of the peace in November 1820, while the earlier appointment of James Roberts seemed to be in some doubt. The elaborate calligraphy of Hayes’ signature certainly stands out in a crowd. Hayes and Meserve would be selectmen together with Roberts in the following year.

Jas. Roberts, H. Hayes, and H. Meserve were the Milton selectmen of 1821 and 1822.

Hanson Hayes was one of twelve incorporators of the Humane Lodge of Masons of Rochester, NH, in June 1821.

Daughter Mary Dearborn Hayes was born in Milton, September 12, 1821.

H. Hayes, Hopley Meserve, Jotham Nute, and James Roberts of Milton were among the many inhabitants of Alton, Brookfield, Farmington, Milton, Middleton, Rochester, Wakefield, and Wolfeborough, NH, that recommended Dr. Joseph Hammons for appointment as a Farmington justice of the peace, in 1822. (Dr. Hammons (1787-1836), a Jacksonian Democrat, would be elected later to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1828. He was appointed Farmington postmaster in 1833).

The NH legislature authorized incorporation of the Milton Social Library by nine Milton men, including Hanson Hayes, June 14, 1822. Gilman Jewett was empowered to call its first meeting and preside over it as its moderator pro tem.
