Biography

Nathaniel Hayward was born in Easton, Massachusetts on January 19, 1808.[3]

Hayward met Goodyear in 1837 and shared with him the discovery he had made, almost accidentally, while working at a rubber factory in Roxbury, Connecticut.[4] He bought some mills in Stoneham, Massachusetts, from Elisha S. Converse, which later became a small settlement called Haywardville.

He died in Colchester, Connecticut on July 18, 1865.[3]
