From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Nathaniel Manley Hayward (January 19, 1808 – July 18, 1865)[1] was a US businessman and inventor best known for developing the process of vulcanization and for his collaboration with Charles Goodyear[2] Hayward met Goodyear in 1837 and shared with him the discovery he had made, almost accidentally, while working at a rubber factory in Roxbury, Connecticut.[3] He bought some mills in Stoneham, Massachusetts, from Elisha S. Converse, which later became a small settlement called Haywardville.
Hayward's former home in Colchester, Connecticut, has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1972.[4]
