Individual:
The following assumption about the English origins of William Haviland comes from the Frost Genealogy, p 360-361: (Note: The author, Josephine Frost was a noted genealogist and also compiled a Haviland Genealogy)
"My theory, a very probable one, is the following: William Haviland who was in Newport, R. I., in 1646, was the son of James Haviland, born 1553, died 1613, mayor of Salisbury, the brother of above Mathew Haviland, mayor of Bristol. The children of James Haviland were baptized at St. Thomas' as follows, and these records were first published by me in Notes and Queries for Somerset and Dorset, September, 1909. I give the list in full as other descendants of James Haviland, mayor of Salisbury, might be misled by the statement that James died without issue, as given in the Chronicle:
Baptisms.
1595, Feb. 12--James, son of James Haviland, christened.
1598, April 4--John Havilon, the son of James Havilon, christened.
1599, Aug. 19--Elizabeth, daughter of James Haviland, christened.
1600, Sept. 14--Mathew Haviland, son of James, christened.
1602, Feb. 26--Bridget Haviland, daughter of Mr. James, maior, christened.
1603, Feb. 26--Giles Havilon, sonne of James, Gent, christened.
1605, April 1--Margaret, daughter of Mr. James Haviland, christened.
1606, Sept. 7--William, son of Mr. James Havelon, christened. *******
1607, Dec. 14.--Melyor, daughter of Mr. James Haviland, christened.
There evidently was an older son Christopher, born previous to 1592 (date in which a James, son of James, was baptized, but died soon after). For in the Baptismal Record in 1656 there is the entry "Willm s. of Christopher Haviland, 1 Aug."
"The administration of James Haviland was granted to Thomassine Haviland, the Relict, 25 April, 1613. Thomassine died in September, 1641, as appears from the following entry: Mistress Tomson (Thomassine) Havilon Sept. 4, 1641. There is no record of the marriage or death of William Haviland, son of James, and it is fair to suppose that, being the youngest, and his other brothers marrying or dying, he lived with his widowed mother and took care of her until the time of her death in 1641, soon after which he emigrated to America, settling at Newport, R. I., married Hannah Hicks, and became the founder of the family in America."

" WILLIAM, b 1625-1630, d. 1697; m. Hannah, daughter of John and Herodius (Long) Hicks. He purchased 100 acres on Mad Man's Neck, near Great Neck, L. I., in 1667, and was living there 1688. (Frost, p 358)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This next paragraph is from Frost, but quoting Eduardo Haviland Hillman:
"William Haviland, the first known by that name in America, was appointed First Church warden of Newport, R. I., in 1646. Second, that he was made a freeman, May 17, 1653. Third, that on May 21, 1656, he was commissioner to the General Court, (confirmed Pierce, "Colonial Lists", p 126) and in 1667, a representative in Assembly. Fourth, that while in Newport he married Hannah Hicks, daughter of John (2) Hicks (Robert 1) (ERROR ! should read John 1) and Horod Long; and last, that, while in Newport, he had sons, John, Adam, Jacob and Joseph. " (Frost Gen, p 359)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frost, herself, tracing only the direct Haviland line to the Haviland who married a Frost mentions only a son, Benjamin:
"BENJAMIN, b. 1660, d. at Rye, July 31, 1726; m. Abigail Binger (?). He purchased 400 acres in Rye, 1711, and was in Flushing, L. I., from 1667 to 1688." (Frost, p 358)
