Nicholas Hayward, eldest child of Thomas and Joan (Haward) Hayward, was baptized in St. James, Clerkenwell, London, December 29, 1611. He was evidently away from his home in England in 1642 when Nicholas Hayward, or Haward, appears in the records of Essex county, Massachusetts, and also away in 1663, when his younger brother Nathaniel was the only son present at the inquest after their father. He came to New England, settling first at Salem, Massachusetts, where he was a fisherman. May 8, 1672, he petitioned the court for exchange of half an acre of land on the road leading to Beverly. The selectman laid out a quantity of the common land on the north side. A fisherman made the will of Nichoals Hayward, January 6, 1682, and it was proved April 10, 1683. In it he mentions sons ; Nathaniel and Nehemiah, deceased ; son Nicholas ; grandson Nehemiah ; grandsons Jonathan and Samuel Hayward; granddaughters Elizabeth, Abigail and Sarah Hayward ; "children of my son Nehemiah, deceased, namely, Sarah Harad, Anah Sargent, Roose Hayward." Nathaniel Hayward was appointed executor. There are no records showing the name of his wife, who was called "Sister Howard," but we have the date of baptism of one of their children.

In 1652, Nicholas Hayward, a wealthy merchant of London, engaged in an extensive trade with the Virginias and Marylanders who were already establishing their plantation up and down the Potomac. Furs were being trapped and sold for hard currency by these first immigrant Americans to buy almost every necessity from England. Hayward dealt primarily in tobacco, which in the next 30 years would become the only cash crop od any significance in Virginia. But from time to time he accepted beaver pelts for he had plenty of competition from other London merchants, who sent their agents into the most famous harbor-of-call of its day. Port Tobacco lay just across the Potomac from Mathias Point, to become the home of the cousins of George Washington. Here Washington spent many enjoyable days in his youth nearly a century later, by then next door door to Hayward's descendants.
