Notes

General:

Per The Hayes Family Henry was a carpenter who came to America about 1705 from Fulwell, Oxfordshire, England along with his seven children. He immigrated to West Chester County, Pennsylvania, in 1705, where he purchased 1,000 acres of land from the agents of William Penn. He took a very prominent part in the affairs of both the church and state of the day in which he lived.

Per Chester County Home Page:
http://www.pa-roots.com/~chester/biographies/hayes,%20henry.htm
Henry Hayes obtained a warrant Sept. 3, 1705. to take up 500 acres....Jan
25, 1705 another warrant for 484 acres....by virtue of the 1st, he took up
384 acres on the west branch of Brandywine, south of the present
Coatesville, and in the following year 600 acres were surveyed from him,
including the present site of Unionville. Afterwards he obtained several
hundred acres extending from the last tract to the NW corner of East
Marlborough, and received a patent in 1717 for 1100 acres in this twp. He
was an active citizen, a justice of the peace and of Common Pleas for
several years. His wife, Rachel, living in 1736, was perhaps mother of all
his children, but he left a widow named Isabella.
His children, so far as known were William; Richard; Joseph; James;
John; Stephen; Thomas; Mary; Joanna; Margaret; Elizabeth; Anne; Rachel (m.
Wm Wickersham; Ruth m. ? Heaney; Lydia m. Thomas Nichols.
