Probate:- (Approximate translation) The above written Testament was heard at London on

---

the 13th day in the month of December in the year of our Lord 1558 before Christopher? Robinson and administration granted to the executor named in the testament

1558/9: Municipal Records of Dorchester Page 703/4 is rather confusing as it records a conveyance to Morgan HAYNE and Cicely HAYNE Widow of 2½ acres of pasture which was late in the tenure of Oliver HAYNE deceased father of the said Morgan HAINE within the East Walls in St Peters Parish . The date recorded for the indenture has been given as 7th April in the 1st year of the reign of Elizabeth I which is more correctly transcribed as 7 Apr 1558/9 - as Elizabeth did not ascend to the throne until 17th Nov 1558. Towards the end is reference to 'Mr HAINES deed of Feoffment to Mr Denis Bond and William Derby' being endorsed. Two of the five witnesses are then given as John WHITE and Robert CHEEKE. The date of 1558/9 is probably the date of the original indenture entered into by a member of the HAYNE Family and which had descended to his father Oliver HAYNE (1563-1622) who married circa 1589 to Cicely the daughter of William ADYN of Dorchester. Morgan HAYNE was their son and heir not born until c1592. What's more Dennis BOND was not born until 1588 and spent his youth abroad in France and Spain before settling in Dorchester around 1608. Robert Cheek arrived in Dorchester in 1595 and John White in 1606 so I think this is the confirmation of their right to the land passing to them jointly when Oliver HAYNE died in 1622.

1560: Charter 646 & 647 records Morgan HAYNE & John Palmer purchasing a property in All Saints Parish on the north side of East Street . Morgan Hayne is also a witness to Charter 653 dated 1560.

1560: Charter 665 reconfirms Morgan HAYNE to be one of the Capital Burgesses of Dorchester [See Charter 629 above in 1548.]

1560: Will of Thomas GAYE Yeoman of Dorchester Dated 15 April 1560, Proved 26 April 1561: He leaves a bequest to Hugh HAYNE my Son-in-Law (Not identified) my burgage with appurtenances set and being in the West part of Dorchester between the burgage of John Hayward in the North part,

1563: Charter 649 appears to refer to the purchase of Friar Wadden Grange in Dorset from Hugh SAMWAYS by Richard Inkpen and Morgan HAYNE for the sum of £900 ⁽²⁾. This is probably how the property at Friar Wadden, which is referred to in the 1623 Visitation of Dorset (page 54) , descended to Thomas HAYNE brother of Richard HAYNE (See Section 2 below). The father of Richard and Thomas is recorded in the Visitation as William HAYNE of Ibberton and shows that he had married into the SAMWAYS Family.

1565: Municipal Records of Dorchester Page 39 Ratification of the Seals of Bailiffs, Constables as Burgesses of the Borough of Dorchester dated 22nd Sep 1565 by Wiliiam Hervy Clarencieulx King of Arms. Present is Morgan HAYNE one of the Capital Burgesses of Dorchester

1568/9: Bailiffs of Dorchester Morgan HAYNE served as Bailiff of Dorchester in the 11th year of the reign of Elizabeth I [17 Nov 1568 - 16 Nov 1569]

1569: Charter 636 records Morgan HAYNE is trying to recover rent due from John Chubb on property they own in Dorchester

1569: Will of Katherine ADYN Widow of Dorchester dated 14th Feb 1569 Proved 5th May 1570: She lists as one of the Overseers of her Will, 'my brother Benjamin HAYNE' (Not identified)

1569: 24th August

3. Richard HAYNE Mercer of St Peters Parish in Dorchester
(Died abt March 1570)

From the Visitation of Dorset made in the year 1623 we know that Richard Hayne was the son and heir of William HAYNE ⁽¹⁾ of Ibberton in Dorset, a small village and parish nestling in the lee of Bulbarrow Hill on a tributary of the River Stour, laying just 7 miles West of Blandford Forum. All it states about his mother is that her maiden name was SAMWAYS. William's Will in 1558 however confirms her name to have been Alice and that they also had 2 daughters Joane and Jane HAYNE. Unfortunately parish registers do not survive for Ibberton prior to 1761, but in all probability Richard was baptised in the parish church of St Eustachius around the year 1530. It also records that Richard was the eldest of at least two sons, his brother Thomas HAYNE leaving a son and heir of the same name who lived at Friar Waden in the parish of Portesham in Dorset. Thomas HAYNE Senior was according to his father's Will under the age of 21 in 1588.

Richard married Alice HAYWARD around the year 1558 and settled in St Peter's parish in Dorchester to live where he traded as a mercer, or dealer in textile fabrics. From his Will dated in 1569 and transcribed below it is clear that he left three sons John, Oliver and William but only the first two are listed in the Visitation of Dorset so the assumption is that William died prior to 1623. The Visitation⁽¹⁾ also tells us that his heir John HAYNE (born about 1560) had died by 1623 without leaving any living issue, so his estate descended to his son Oliver HAYNE (1563-1622) of Dorchester.

1622:

Oliver HAYNE (1563-1622) was the second son of Richard HAYNE (d.1570) a Mercer of Dorchester and was elected to serve as Bailiff of Dorchester three times in the years 1602, 1607 and 1613. Because of the death of his elder brother, he became heir to his fathers estate sometime prior to 26th June 1610 when Charles 1st named him in his charter of that date as one of the original 15 Capital Burgesses of Dorchester. As one of the most senior Capital Burgess of Dorchester he was one of those that endorsed the appointment of Sir Frances Ashley as Recorder of Dorchester on 19th Jan 1610/11 and also the bye laws introduced on 22nd Oct 1621 by the newly formed Company of Freemen.

They had 5 children together (as shown below ) before Rawlin died on 4th Sep 1627 ⁽⁶⁾. He was clearly a man of some influence and trust in Dorchester and on 4th Aug 1620 he is recorded in the Municipal Records of the town as holding money donated for use in the Hospital. Morgan Hayne's name is also written into the Constitutions of the Company of Freemen which were made on 22nd October 1621 as the first receiver of the company Freemen of Dorchester. He was elected Constable of Dorchester in 1623. The following year he was one of the original 119 investors in John White's 'Dorchester Co'; According to the visitation of Dorchester he moved to Newcastle-on-Tyne to live ; cousin to diarist William Whiteway (1599-1635)

His place as Alderman was taken by Mr John BLATCHFORD who was duly sworn in at sessions on 3rd January 1623. His memorial plaque in St Peter's church in Dorchester (reproduced below) suggests it was the day before, but adds the fact that he was aged 59 years.

(2). Probate of the Will of Morgan HAYNES of Fryar Waddon in Dorset [referred to in the 1623 Visitation of Dorset as 'Ffrier Waden'] was granted on 3rd May 1600 (available to view on ancestry.com under prerogative Court of Canterbury PROB 11/95). Fryer Waddon Farm is in Portesham Dorset and 19th century documents survive at the National Archives. Morgam Hayne's will is written entirely in Latin but referts to both Thomas HAYNE and Oliver HAYNE but needs proper translation to ascertain relationships etc.
