Biography

George Hayward, Heaward, Haward[1]

George Hayward was born about 1619, probably in Kent, England. His background and parents are unknown.[2][3]

George may be the son of John Hayward and Ann Cole, both of Kent. John was from the Isle of Harty, and a descendant of George stated he was from the same place.

George arrived in Concord, Massachusetts in 1635, and died there 29 Mar 1671. His wife Mary died in1693.[1]

Origin

George Hayward was one of the little band who under the leadership of Peter Bulkley, an English non-conformist minister from Odel, in Bedfordshire and Simon Willard, an Indian trader from Horsmonden, Kent, settled the town of Concord, Massachusetts in September, 1635.[4] They are said to have traveled on the ship Susan and Ellin, which left London, England mid May 1635 with her master, Edward Payne, arriving in Massachusetts Bay. The name of Rev. Peter Bulkley, 50 years old, is recorded on the passenger list.[5]

George was one of the first proprietors in September 1635 of Mucketaquid (soon Concord, MA). He received six square miles in the first division of land and his first homelot/home was near the meeting house fronting on the Common.[2] George Hayward was listed as a Freeman there by March of 1638.[2][6] As early as 1664 George had built a saw mill, to which he later added a corn mill, in the southwest part of Concord in an area still known as "Haywards Mills".[2]

Family

George is thought to have been one of three brothers and a sister who immigrated from Stepney Parish, London, England to Concord, Massachusetts. James Hayward, age 22, servant and Judith Phippen (nee Hayward?), age 16, servant are both on the passenger list for the Planter 1634.[7]

According to Boston Trans. Nov. 20, 1637: James Hayward age 22 years and Judith Hayward age 16 yrs, who come on the "Planter" 1634-35 were prob. brother and sister of John and George Hayward.
22 Mareij 1634. Theis under written names are to be imbarqued in ye Planter Nico.Trarice Mr bound for New England p Certificate from Stepney pish, and Attestacon from St Tho: Jay, Mr Simon Muskett 2 Justices of the Peace. the Men have taken the oaths of Supremacie & Allegeance" The Planter, under Master Nicholas Trerice/Travice, the Planter sailed from London April 2 or 11, 1635, arriving at Boston June 7, 1635. Hotten has Trarice, Nico for the master. George married c. 1637 to Martha/Mary (Unknown). Some have suggested that her name was Frizzell, although there is no evidence to support this.[2]

According to the birth record for son, George, his mother's name was Mary:

George the sonne of George haward & mary his wife borne the 2nd agust 1654[8] Children of George Hayward and Mary

George and Mary had the following children:[9]

1. John, b. Oct. 20, 1640; married June 2, 1671 to Anna White
2. Joseph, b. Jan. 26, 1643; died Oct. 13, 1714; married 1) Oct. 26, 1665 to Hannah Hosmer; married 2) on March 23, 1676 to Elizabeth Treadwell
3. Sarah, b. Jan. 19, 1645
4. Hannah, b. Feb. 22, 1647; married Jacob Farrar
5. Simon (or Simeon) b.Jan. 19, 1645; married Elizabeth
6. George, b. July 2, 1654; unmarried; probably the soldier of Davenport's company killed 19 December 1675, in the great battle of Narragansett [ Savage II 391-2.]

Concord

On 2 ____ 1647, George "Heaward" was one of the witnesses to the last wishes of Robert Edwards of Concord; the other witness was William Wood.[10]

Death and Legacy

George, "husband of Mary", died 29 March 1671 at Concord, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.[9][11] He was drowned accidentally in the river near his iron works while helping William Frizzell over the river in a canoe.[9][12][13]

George Hayward's estate was divided between his widow Mary and his children John, Joseph, Simeon, George, Elizabeth Wheeler, Sarah Prescott and Hannah Farrar. Joshua Wheeler, John Prescott, and Jacob Farrar signed, Sept. 23, 1671.[9]

Research Notes

In the birth record of George's son in 1654, George is referred to as the husband of Mary, and the same in his death record in 1671. Is there any evidence that he was married twice? Why is she called Martha/Mary in her WikiTree ID? Note that among her daughters there is one named Mary, but not any named Martha.

Unfortunately, Vital Records for the town of Concord from September 17, 1650 until February, 1654 were not preserved.[8]

Martha (Mary) HAYWARD (Immigrant) and George HAYWARD (immigrant) were married about 1639 in Concord, Middlesex Co., MA. Children were:

• 1. John HAYWARD,
• 2. Joseph HAYWARD,
• 3. Sarah HAYWARD,
• 4. Hannah HAYWARD.

George Hayward (1604-1671) immigrated from England to New England. He may have been born in the Isle of Hartey, Kent, England.

Peter Bulkley of Bedfordshire and Simon Willard of Kent were wealthy Englishmen and they sought men capable of developing water power in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. They paid the passage for 12 families, including George and Mary (maiden name may have been Frizell or Fresel or Fraser?) Hayward and their infant daughter, to sail from London on 09 May 1635 aboard the "Susan and Ellen" bound for New England.

George Hayward was one of the first proprietors in September 1635 of Mucketaquid (soon Concord, MA). He received 6 square miles in the first division of land and his first homelot/home was near the meeting house fronting on the Common. Geroge Hayward was listed as a Freeman there by March of 1638. George Hayward "early" moved to Concord's South Quarter where he lived at "Hayward's Hills". He became the overseer at the south Quarter.

George Hayward built the first sawmill at the South Quarter in 1644 and later the first cornmill. In 1654 George Hayward was one of nine men chosen (three out of each area) and "empowered to hear and end former debate".

George Hayward died at age 67 in a conoe accident on his way back across after William Frizell over the river in a strong current. Geroge Hayward's estate was then appraised at L506.078.08. George Hayward and his wife were probably buried at the Old South Burying Ground at Concord, MA, but none of the wooden markers of this time survive.

Son Joseph Hayward (1643-1714) married first Hannah Hosmer in 1665 and had 6 children and second Elizabeth Treadway (1646-1714) [widow of Shadrack Hapgood, with 5 children] in 1677 at Concord, MA and had 6 children there. Joseph Hayward was a soldier in King Philips War and a Concord Selectman.

Granddaughter Lydia Hayward (1685-1777), daughter of Joseph Hayward (1643-1714), married John Hanchett (1679-1761) in 1706 at Suffield, MA and had 10 children there.

World Events (2) 1620 ·

The Pilgrims Board the Mayflower Age 13 "The Pilgrims boarded the Mayflower in search of religious freedom in the New World in September 1620. The Mayflower set sail from Plymouth, England, with 102 passengers, 40 of whom called themselves ""Saints."" After two stormy months at sea, the ship reached the New World. Nearly half of the group died during their first winter due to malnutrition and the harsh New England winter." 1642 · The English Civil War Age 35 A series of conflicts regarding England's governance during the years 1642 to 1651 is now known as The English Civil War. Charles I summoned supporters to join him against his enemies in Parliament. In October 1642, nearly 10,000 men fought for Charles I and chased Parliament across the River Tamar. Fighting continued for years and was finally ended at the Battle of Worcester on September 3, 1651, with a Parliamentarian victory.
