page xli note * All these persons were connexions of Sir John Hayward. It has been stated (p. xxxiii.) that he married a daughter of Andrew Paschall, of Springfield, in Essex, Esq. His wife had an elder sister, Mary, who married the Thomas Hanchet here mentioned. They had two sons, Edward, also mentioned above, who was Sir John Hayward's executor, and Thomas, who will be found hereafter noticed in the will. They had also three daughters ; Mary, wife of Mr. Ware, of the county of Norfolk ; Frances, wife of Mr. Abraham Williams, agent to the King and Queen of Bohemia; and Penelope, wife of the Mr, Ambrose Wheeler who is here mentioned, and who is described in the books of the College of Arms as a merchant in London. I am indebted to C. G. Young, Esq., York Herald, for many of these and many other particulars respecting the persons mentioned in the will.

page xli note † There were two branches of the family of Rowe seated near London. One at Hackney and the other at Muswell Hill. Sir Nicholas was one of the Rowes of Muswell Hill, son of Sir Nicholas and grandson of Sir William Rowe of the same place; which Sir William was Lord Mayor of London in 1592. It appears, from the books of the College of Arms, that, after the death of Sir John Hayward's daughter, Sir Nicholas married into the family of Sir Edward Duncomb, Knight, and had a son named George, who was buried at Saint James's, Clerkenwell, (of which parish Muswell Hill is an outlying and isolated portion,) on 7th July, 1661. The Hackney branch of the family became extinct in the male line upon the decease of Anthony Rowe, Esq., who was buried at Hackney in 1704. One of Anthony's daughters married an ancestor of the Marquess of Downshire. (Vide Lysons's Environs, ii. 425 ; and Rowe Mores's Hist, of Tunstall, Bibl. Topog. Brit, i.)

page xlii note * There were two children of the marriage of Sir Nicholas Rowe and Jane Hayward ; Elizabeth, buried at Saint James's, Clerkenwell, on the 5th January, 1625–6, and the Mary who is here mentioned. She died in the year 1634, and was also buried at Saint James's, Clerkenwell.

page xlii note † It appears, from the various statements of relationship mentioned in this will, and from some further information derived from Reyce's Suffolk Collections in the College of Arms, that Sir John Hayward's mother was twice married. By one husband she had Sir John Hayward, and a daughter, Ursula, living in 1626, who married Robert Revett of Witlesham in Suffolk, and had a son, the James Revett here mentioned, who married * * * Armiger of Otley. The Revetts are a well known, and still existing, Suffolk family. By her other husband, whose name was Brandston, Sir John Hayward's mother had a son named Thomas, who is mentioned in this will, and a daughter, who had died long before 1626, leaving a daughter, named Anne Snell.

page xliv note * It appears from Lady Hayward's will, proved at Doctors' Commons on the 9th May, 1642, that she resided at its date, the 1st September, 1641, at Hinoksworth in the county of Hertford. She describes herself as a very aged woman; makes mention of her sister Mary Hanchet and her husband, and also of Edward Paschall, grandson of Sir Andrew Paschall, Knight, her brother. She appointed her nephew, Edward Hanchet, Sir John Hayward's executor, executor of her will also.
