THE HAYWOOD FAMILY OF VICTORIA CORNER
Prepared by Etta Haywood-Faulkner
Second Generation 2. Mark #1[2] HAYWOOD Sr (3723 1st & others, 1) (George #6 Hatfield HAYWARD, Car Co, N B Marriage Reg/B/1862-1884, book B Transcrip, of original, records, R929.371552HAY, in custody of FISHER MEMORIAL LIBRARY, WOODSTOCK NB,YorkRegional). Born, 1818, in ENG. Died, 23 Jan 1888, in Wakefield NB. Death(2): 22 Jan 1888, in Victoria NB. Burial: 1888, in Victoria NB. Immigration: 1827 (?). Occupation: stonemason.Mark HAYWOOD Sr. & wife (first name?) PROSSER Mark #1 HAYWOOD ran away from his home in England in c1827, a stowaway aboard a ship called (?) when he was nine years old, landed in Montreal, Canada. On arrival in Canada he had appendicitis & a doctor in Montreal removed his appendix without any anesthetic, only whiskey. Did Mark arrive in Victoria Corner, New Brunswick, via United States? HAYWOOD Mark #1 does not appear in 1851 or 1861 census of Carleton County, New Brunswick, although it is believed that he lived there at that time. 1871: The 1871 census shows him in home #90, family #93, HAYWOOD Mark age 27(?)born England, Baptist,labourer/mason,a widower In the same home was Betsy f 21 born England Baptist, English Mark #2 male Jane f 16 Odilley (Dill?) f 10 Kate f 9 (shows all born England but do not believe this is true). Ref: Eric Haywood January, 1993-was told that Mark Haywood, Eric does not know if Mark Sr or Mark Jr, was in the army, (was it American or Canadian??), received land ??, was re-called & didn't go. Etta cannot confirm this, although there seems to be a connection with Haywoods going back & forth across the now Canadian/United States border. Anna Marie Orser-Belyea says that two Haywood girls were drowned in a boat over to Sproul's Island. They were "Dody" & "Dill". Perhaps this is when Charlotte's father's brother was drowned. Will Haywood told Etta that his father had two sisters, Dody & Dill, but Etta thought when she saw the the name O'dilly/Adelia that 'Dody' or 'Dill' were the same person as "O'Dilly/Adelia", but Grampie was right. There were two girls named Dody & Dill. 1881: The 1881 census, Carleton County, N. B., shows Mark #1 as Anglican. Mark #1 lived in house where his grandson, Len Haywood, lived in hollow by brook. At this time a Mrs. Thistle lived directly across the road; she was angry with Mark #1 & burned his house & everything that he had. Mark #1 was burned at that time also. Len thinks that Mark #1 then went down the road to Wakefield to Bradleys, & died there. 1847: There was a Fenian Raid in Woodstock in 1847. Also, there were Fenian Riots (also called "Mickie Rows" - such as incidents at York's here in Victoria at that time.) (The Irish came to Canada during potato famine of 1840's & Irish/English or Catholic/Protestants - frequently feuded.) My grandfather, William, says Mark #1 fought in Fenian Riot of 1849 in Woodstock. He says men fought with muskets; some men were dumped over the Woodstock creek bridge. Mark was shot in the "derrier" by a Mr. McCarron of Newburg. McCarron wrote to Mark saying that he intended the shot for Mark's heart. Haywood wrote to McCarron, "I don't wear my heart in my ass!" "A Short History of Carleton County, New Brunswick" by T. C. L. Ketchum - c1830 Frank McCarron settled in Newburg from Ireland - under The Labor Act - whereby work on the public roads enabled a settler to pay for his land & other measures of assistance." Mark #1 was a stone-mason by trade. He may have rented his dwelling, but my father, Don, says Mark or his son Mark #2, or Len Haywood eventually gained a deed to this small piece of land by the brook because of living thereon & looking after that land for over 60 years, called peaceful possession or squatters rights It is believed that Mark #1 had a brother, John William HAYWOOD who came to North America & was killed in United States at Fort Fisher. Grandsons said it possibly was the Civil War, which would be c1860-1864 & would this be too recent? Could it have been War of 1812? Gordon Haywood told Etta that "when Mark 1st came up the St. John River, noticed the hill what is Pucker St. & said, "That is where I am going to build a house when I marry." 1876 Carleton Co. N.B. Marriage Register, Book B 1862-1884 transcribed from Original Record by George Hatfield Hayward 1989: # 397 HAYWARD (spelled) Mark, Victoria Corner, Wakefield, Carleton County New Brunswick married 16 June 1876 by Rev. G. W. MacDonald wit: H. Vanwart/A. Thompson RYDER Jane, Wakefield This could have been this Mark. It is not known when his wife, (?) Prosser, died. He married 526 PROSSER, daughter of Benjamin PROSSER (1st) & OTHERS and Elizabeth #2 SHAW. Individual flags: *ANC. Children: i. Betsy[3]. Born, 1850. In the 1871 census of Carleton County, New Brunswick "Betsy" is shown as in the household of Mark HAYWOOD in home #90 family #93 - as being born in England, Baptist, but Etta does not think she was born in England. She nor any of the family are shown in the 1851 or 1861 census. Etta's grandfather, Will HAYWOOD, says that Betsy moved to Washington State. Charlotte HELMS-RAUCH was unable to make any connection between Betsy & Betsy's sister, Jane (who married Henry HELMS) - after Charlotte's visit to Victoria in 1983. Who was person called "White-y" that Charlotte vaguely remembers - in their area of Spokane, Washington? 3 ii. William#1 "Mark#2". 4 iii. Jane. 5 iv. Adelia #530. v. Catherine "Kate". Born, 1862, in Victoria New Brunswick. She married Richard #1 Grant. In 1871 census of Carleton County, New Brunswick, Catherine was in home #90, family #93, Catherine (or Kate) as age 9, English, Baptist; 1881 census shows her in home #72 family #74, she is shown as age 18, born in New Brunswick, Church of England. Catherine & Richard GRANT lived in Houlton, Maine.Catherine "Kate" Haywood married Richard Grant vi. Dody. Will Haywood told Etta that his father had sisters Dody & Dill. Etta assumed that Odilley probably was the one referred to. Anna Marie Orser-Belyea says there were two Haywood girls, Dody & Dill, who were drowned coming across the St. John River from Sproul's Island. Charlotte Helms-Rauch refers to a relative named "Dody". It would not be the same person if #2786 Dody drowned. vii. Odilly "Dill". Will Haywood told Etta that his father had sisters Dody & Dill. Etta assumed that Odilley probably was the one referred to. Anna Marie Orser-Belyea says there were two Haywood girls, Dody & Dill, who were drowned coming across the St. John River from Sproul's island.End of 2nd Generation
