HAYES. The minutes of William Penn's Commissioners of Property, under date of 7 mo., 3, 1705, show that the Proprietary, by deeds of lease and release, dated nth and 12th October, 1681, conveyed to Richard Haunds (or Hands), of Swanford, in the county of Oxon (Oxford), husbandman, one thousand acres of land in Pennsylvania, and the said Richard, by inden- tures of lease and release^ dated 13th and 14th December, 1700, convej-ed the same land to Henry Hayes, of Fullvell, in the said county, carpenter.

A warrant was granted September 3, 1705, to Henry Hayes, "lately arrived in this province," to take up five hundred acres of land, one moiety of the original purchase of Richard Hands, and on II mo., (January) 28, 1705. he obtained an- other warrant for four hundred and eighty-four acres, the remaining sixteen acres being allowed for "liberty land in the suburbs of Philadel- phia. By the first warrant a survey was made of three hundred and eighty-four acres, October 9, 1705. on the west branch of Brandy wine, just south of the present Coatesvillc, and on 3 mo., 24, 1706, a tract of six hundred acres was sur- veyed to him in East Marlborough, including the site of Unionville. There being some vacant land adjoining the last, he obtained another war- rant. 4 mo., 22, 1713, under which he took up five hundred acres more, extending to the north- west corner of East Marlborough. A patent for all liis lands, one thousand four hundred and eig.ht\--four acres, was dated November 25, 1717.

He was commissioned a justice of the com- mon pleas, etc., August 26, 1717, in which posi- tion he appears to have continued until his death, in 1745. He was -also elected a member of Assembly in the years 1715, 1716, 1728 and 1730. He was not a Friend, though several of his chil- dren joined that society. His wife Rachel was living in 1736, and was probably the mother of all his children, but he left a widow, Isabella, who was perhaps the same person who pur- chased land in Lancaster -county, March 8, 1746-7, and subsequently married Andrew Cald- well, of Leacock.
