HAFFENDEN

HAFFENDEN. The locality does not seem to be kuown. The gentry family derive from Lawrence Haffeur7'«, of Bugglesden, bailiff of Tcniavdcn, temp. Richard III. This is sufficient proof of the origin of the race among the dens of Kent, even if we did not know that they formerly had lands at Smarrew and ll:\\dcn. See Den. It is worth recording, tliatayoungerand decayed braucli of this family, the representative of which branch was lately the keeper of a small country inu at Heathfield, co. Sussex, have, for a series of generations, had right of sepulture in Heathfield church, w-here numerous gravestones mark their claim to ancient gentry.
