• Notes

  Have will, Portrait in Mark Heywood collection. Worked in West Indies. Appears that a re-grant of Arms was made to him. "That thing as Mr Hayward says is the law and no gentleman in the county can gainsay it" was the remark of the common folk about him. He used to say Hey the devil instead of well in the beginning of his sentences on prisoners as well as in common conversation. When the late John Curtis Hayward was introduced to Charles 6th Duke of Beaufort the latter said to him: "Now what relation are you to old Mr Hayward who used to wear a cauliflower wig and say Hey the Devil" he was in fact great grandson.
