"From "Family Records Branches of Hannaford, Thompson, Huckin, et al, and Allied Families" by Mary Elizabeth Neal Hannaford, Member of the N.E. Historical and Genealogy Society, Rockford, Illinois 1915, copied at Exeter Library, Exeter, N. H.  These are miscellaneous public records with all Hannaford names of different periods, places and families found.  From these records, the following seem to apply:

Page 2:
"John Hannaford, in 1709, signed a petition to Gov. Joseph Dudley, in her Majesty's Province, in New Hampshire for a meeting house; he was living within the bounds of Quamscott, some six miles from Exeter, N. H. (probably in Stratham, where he later resided)."

Note:  In "The History of Stratham, N. H."  by Charles B. Nelson, Page 114,

"The Meeting-house was completed the same year, 1718.  It was after the fashion of the oldest Meeting-houses now standing in the State of which we believe there are but two or three; the pews being 'built with winscot worke and all of a kind.'  Each man was obliged to build his own pew; keep it in repair; to maintain all the glass against it; and he must build, too, on the spot assigned him."   John Hunniford was assigned a seat in "Second short seat". 

It goes on to explain how the pew in the "meeting house" were assigned.  Very interesting.  See attached file.  It also lists all the other assigned seating and the persons in those seats.

Continued "Family Records Branches of Hannaford, etc.): Page 2
"January 1, 1715-1716, in a petition of set off a township, and church in Stratham, N. H., John Haniford signed with others, as Freeman, and took the oath of allegiance to the Government of Massachusetts."

"Just across the road from Richard Scammons, former bank commissioner, in Stratham, N. H., is where one of the early Hanifords, Hunefords, settled; this was John Hanaford; he lived here in 1716.  The cellar of the house can be pointed out, Mr Scammon stated in 1911. There were some old apple trees that were a part of the Hanaford orchard, as Mr. Scammon told the writer of this book."

According to Stratham Historical Society records, the old original Hannaford home in Stratham was described as being located on River  Road.   (See the Historical Map Town of Stratham, Prepared by Stratham Historical Society 1985 -- See #56, for the Scammon home which is still standing.)

Page 4: 
" In John Hanneford will, dated '11 Mch An. Dom 1735,' he deeds to son, David of Stratham, N. H., land."
"John Huniford was of Exeter, N. H., 1707.  See the Bow Charter, 1727.
"John Honyford of Stratham was from Bedeford, York County, Eng.  His father's name was Stephen.  Had land in Bow, N. H., in 1748.  Had a son, John, wo married Margaret, in Stratham and Greenland, 1764.

From the same "Family Records Branches of Hannaford, by Mary Elizabeth Neal Hannaford",
Page 5:

"John and Anna ______Hanaford of Stratham, N. H.  Their children:

John b. April 6, 1712
David b. June 4, 1716
Thomas b. April 1718
Sarah b. Feb. 23, 1725"

"John Hanaford's ear-mark for cattle was a hole in the ear."

From Stratham Genalogical Records, Births, Marriages and Deaths, as published in The New Hampshire Genealogical Record. ("An Illustrated Quarterly Magazine, Vol. 1 July 1903--April 1904, Dover, N. H., Charles W. Tibbetts, Editor and Publisher. 1904.)

Birth Records, page 192:

"John the son of John and Anna Hannaford born April the :6: day 1712"

"Sarah the Dafter of John and Anna Hannaford Born february the :23: 1727"

In the Gen. Dictionary of Maine & N.H., Page 306.
 
"HANNAFORD. 1 John, Stratham, rated 1714 (Hannafer), likely the John (Honeyford) who m. Hannah (Anna) Robinson at Hampton 18 Jan. 1711.  List 388.  Bondsman with John Wiggin, jr. for wid. Anna Wiggin 1749.  Old Mr. John H. d. 9 Apr. 1764.   4 ch. rec. 1712-1726".   Note the different spellings."

Also in the "History of Stratham, N.H. by Charles B. Nelson, Page 115, I find info re: the assignment of seats in the Meeting-house which was completed in 1718, that John Hunniford was assigned a seat in "Second short seat".
