From Tempest Samuel Hayes Sr., whose daughter Susanna was Reuben Holcomb's wife, had four sons in need of farms between 1750 and 1765. he began by purchasing a relatively new farm from Return Holcomb in 1750 for his eighteen-year-old son Asahel (who had just married Reuben Holcomb's sister Martha). In 1753, he helped his son Samuel Jr. buy land east of Bush Hill Road and north of what is now Rt. 20. Three years later he bought land from Solomon Halladay, who was in the process of giving up on Salmon Brook and returning to Suffield, and saved it three years for his son Andrew. He also took care of nineteen-year-old Silas in that year, giving him land north of Samuel Jr.'s (which made sense since these two brothers had married daughters of Judah Holcomb). When Asahel, Andrew and their brother-in-law Reuben Holcomb used £135 of the late Samuel Hayes Sr.'s estate in 1762 to pay speculator John Roberts of Windsor for a large lot straddling present Rt. 20 in West Granby, this collection of brothers and sisters had pretty much laid claim to that little valley at the foot of the West Granby Gorge.
