and rateable Real Estate and Personal for the Town of Haverhill in the County of 
Essex, Taken in the year 1741.  There are seven Heaths listed on p 311 as 
follows:  John Heath, James Heath, David Heath, James Heath Jur, Richard 
Heath--then Jonathan Hutchins, Thomas Hall, then Benjamin Heath.  [Note he would 
not be the Heath born in 1738, but likely the one born in 4/4/1713 who was the 
son of John Heath and Frances Hutchins]  Farther down on the page is Caleb 
Heath.  On p 312 are several more Heaths.  The index has 21 Heaths.  Notes filed 
under Unrelated Heaths tab Benjamin Heath notebook.  COULD THIS MAN BE OUR 
BENJAMIN'S FATHER?  Note also that there are many references to John Heath.  
This Benjamin is son of John Heath.  Notes filed in Benjamin Heath notebook,

(4) Rockingham Co NH Grantor Index 1643-1814 (FHL US/CAN Film 0016228), 5 1/2 
pages of Heath grantors including 29 Heath surnames as grantees and one grantee 
Wyman (1779).  Two transactions in 1745 between Benjamin Heath Richard Heath 
(full record copied). Index copied and filed in Unrelated Heaths master 
notebook.  No deeds for our Benjamin. 
(5) Grafton Co NH Grantee Index 1773-1850 (FHL US/CAN Film 0015790), No 
Benjamin Heath, I copied the index for first name "J".  Filed in Unrelated 
Heaths master notebook. There are 2 typed pages for Joshua Heath bt 1793-1798 
all in Bk 22 pp 69-81, including 12 in Chatham, one of which is a purchase from 
Benj Leavitt, p 72, Jan 12, 1796. This is most interesting since Joshua 
obviously knew our Benjamin Heath family.  Remember Mildred Heath is positive 
there was no relationship between Joshua and Benjamin and there are no cemetery 
or land or vital records to establish any relationship. 
(6) 1790 Federal Census, Rockingham Co NH 
(www.rays-place.com/census/rockingham-6.htm), Lists 2 Benjamin Heaths, one in 
Hampstead (likely the man born 1713 but could be the man born 1749 in 
Canterbury, the other in Centerbury (Canterbury) who is most likely the man born 
1738 since his parents, brother, Caleb, one of his sons, Simon, and his younger 
brother Jonathan is  listed on the same and following page.  Note that Jonathan 
had a child in Canterbury in 1778 in Canterbury (Our Family Legacy, p 297). 
(7) 1742 New Hampshire Census (NH State Archives), I reviewed the ORIGINAL 
archive pages which are filed township by township.  Note that Rumford NH later 
became Concord  NH.  The only Heaths in this census are in Haverhill.  There are 
Heaths on pp 1-5 which I copied.  p. 1 has Benjamin Heath along with James and 2 
John.  p. 2 has Josiah, Rochard, Caleb Heath plus Robert Emerson whose widow 
Benjamin, b. 1713, later married.  p 3 has James, Joseph, Nathaniel, David, 
William plus many surname Page.  p. 4 has Samuel and p. 5 has Nehemiah. Note 
also that there were 5 Martin surnames in Newcastle:  edward, John, John Jr.,
