Born by about 1599 (based on estmated date of marriage).Came from Aylesford, Kent to Massachusetts Bay in 1635 on the "Hercules." (On 14 March 1634/5, "Tho[ma]s Hayward of Aylesford in Kent, tailor, & Susanna his wife," with children "Thomas," "John," "Elizabeth," "Susan" and "Martha," were enrolled at Sandwich as passengers for New England on the Hercules).
First settled in Cambridge; moved to Duxbury by 1638, & Bridgewater by 1658. Died between 29 June 1678 (date of will) and 8 March 1680/1 (date of inventory).
Married by about 1624 Susanna _____.
Either Thomas Hayward or his wife was related in some way to Peter Town of Cambridge. In his will of 28 May 1705, "Peter Town of Cambridg[e]" ordered that "when my wife dies or ceases to be my widow then the whole of my real estate shall be divided among my five first cousins living at Bridgwater, viz: my cousin John Howard, my cousin Nathaniel Howard, my cousin Joseph Howard, my cousin Elisha Howard & my cousin Mary Mitchell."
Savage stated that "he had perhaps been here as early as 1632, coming with Winslow in the William and Francis, and satisfied with prospects, went home to bring them" [Savage 2:394]. There is no evidence for or against this position, and it is more likely that the 1632 passenger, THOMAS HAYWARD {1632, Unknown}, died or removed soon.
Thomas Hayward was at a very early date granted land in the region which would become Bridgewater, so he may have resided there, perhaps on a seasonal basis, at a relatively early date.
