John Hayward was born in 1591, second surviving son of Sir Rowland Hayward (1520-1593) and his second wife Catherine Smythe. Originally from an old Shropshire family, his father was a wealthy merchant and twice Lord Mayor of London.[1]
In 1615, Hayward inherited his elder brother George's estates in Acton Burnell; around 1624, he moved to Hollingbourne in Kent and married his recently widowed cousin Anne, mother of Sir Michael Livesey, a regicide who approved the Execution of Charles I in January 1649. They had no children and when he died in 1636, he was buried next to his father in St Alphege London Wall.[2] His will records him as being resident in Rochester, Kent.[3]
