Heyshams of Southwestern England

The Southwest comprises the counties of Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Somerset, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall.

I've grouped all of the Heyshams, Hayshams, Haysoms, etc., that congregated in the southwest of England in hopes that will make it easier to discover relationships. They are a large group, the largest outside of Lancaster. Two branches, out of Dorset and Bristol, were the forebears of the third and fourth waves to come to America, the Hysom's of Maine and the Drake-Hysom's.

Recent analysis of Y-DNA indicates, however, that the Hysom family of Dorset, below, are not related to the Heesom's of Yorkshire, or the Hissem family in America, who are both haplogroup G2a3b1. The Hysoms of Dorset, and I expect the rest of those of southwestern England, are E3b1a, indicating that we and they have no common heritage within the past 10-20,000 years.

With that in mind, I am reminded that the village of Evesham, in Worchestershire, just north of Gloucestershire, was often times written as Esham. Hesham, and it's variants, may arise from that village.

Note, however, that I have not rewritten the rest of this page to take account of this new information, mainly because it does not have a large impact. If, however, somewhere below I note a possible relationship with the family in Lancashire or Yorkshire, or theorize about a possible drift of the family from north to south, just realize that these notions have been overcome by events.

The earliest member of the family I've found in this region, in Somerset, is very early indeed and may well be the forebear of all of the Gloucester, Wiltshire, Somerset, Dorset, Devon, and Cornwall parts of the family. Because of this I will address Somerset first.


Somerset:

Haysham's lived in Somerset into the early 20th century. Haysom's live there still.

Somerset County in the Medieval

Somerset, located on the southwest coast of England, was already a well organized and prosperous region during the Saxon period. As the population grew marshes and wetlands were drained, and woodland was cleared to create new meadows and pasture. The region grew oats and rye, pears and apples, and vegetables such as leeks and onions. Large herds of cattle, goats, sheep and pigs were also maintained and Somerset became famous for its butter and cheese.

The chief city and seaport, Bristol, is located at the intersection of the Frome and Avon rivers, on the northern border with Gloucestershire. It was the third largest city in England at the time. The old Roman city of Bath is upriver, to the east.


Bath

(8) Geoffrey de Hesham (c1260)
(1) Ralph de Gernet (c1050) (2) Vivian Gernet of Halton (c1080) (3) Brian Gernet de Hesham (c1110) (4) Adam Gernet de Hesham (c1140) (5) Thomas Gernet de Hesham (c1180) (6) Robert de Hesham (c1200) (7) Adam de Hesham (c1230) ??

Of Bath, Somerset. The map to the right is one of the earliest made and dates to 1610. This is an ancient city, east, and up the Avon river, from Bristol. Geoffrey was an early member of the family who, perhaps, moved south to discover new opportunities. This was, of course, a long wasy from Lancashire and I have nothing that "proves" Geoffrey's relationship to the Lancashire Heyshams, except his name.

There are two references, circa 1290, to a Geoffrey de Hesham in "Ancient Deeds Belonging to the Corporation of Bath," Somerset in the British archives. The original documents were in Latin and, as we've seen with the Lancashire Heysham's, Hesham was the conventional Latin transcription of Heysham.

"By Nicholas Boueclyne, for 10 shillings, to Geoffrey de Hesham, skinner, of a messuage which lies between the house of Juliana Kademan, on the north, and the house of Emmot le Carpenter, on the south. Rendering yearly to the lord of the fee 4 pence and one rose to Nicholas at the Feast of the Blessed John the Baptist."
"By Geoffry de Hesham, to Thomas de Hampton, miller, for 30s. 5d., of a messuage which he bought of Nicholas Boueclyne by Alsy's bath (juxta, balneum Halsi), and between the house of Juliana Kademan, on the north, and the house of Emmota le Carpenter, on the south. To have and to hold to the said Thomas and his heirs or to whomsoever he should wish to give, sell, etc., Rendering yearly to the lord of the fee 4 pence, and a rose to Geoffrey at a midsummer."
It looks like Geoffrey made a clear profit of 20 shillings on the two deals. A messuage is a house with its land and out-buildings. That is, Geoffrey's home, his shop, a vegetable garden, and a chicken-coop or pig-sty.

The Skinner

In America a mule skinner is a teamster who drives a mule team pulling a wagon. During this period, however a skinner was one who dealt in skins, pelts and hides, removing, curing or dressing them. The job descripton overlaps with that of the tanner. Tanning hides was a noxious profession that required the use of toxic chemicals including slaked lime, urine and dung. The run-off was a major pollutant of medieval cities. There was a saying about a tanner complaining that a skinner smelled bad. It was similar in tone to the pot calling the kettle black. Like many such occupations, there was a Skinner's Guild.

What does all this say about Geoffrey? Socially, while he was a long way from Lancashire and a long way from being "lord of the manor," as conceivably his relations were, he was also no serf. He had a trade and, as evidenced by his buying and selling of property, was probably master of his own shop. On the other hand, while the skins he sold may have been clean and of good quality, even the most fastidious man could not keep the smell of rot and corruption of the blood and small pieces of flesh from permeating his shop, his house and his person. If you were, say a carpenter, you would be appalled to discover that a skinner was moving in next door.

There are 14 references in the British archives to Alsy's bath between c1280 and 1366, one in which the Latin rendition was balneum Alsy. Here the bath was described as being "between the land of St. John's Hospital, on the east, and the Almoner of the Priory of Bath, on the west." Land of the hospital may mean land endowed to the hospital vice the hospital grounds themselves.

St. John's Hospital

St. John's was a place of refuge for the needy and a hostel for pilgrims and poor travelors. It was run by a Master, who, in 1260, was named Adam. Land was given to the hospital between the Cross and Hot Baths and the city walls for the hospital buildings [north side of Hetling Court, west end of Bath street], and parcels of land over a wider area were granted to them for income.

"The hospital was founded in 1180 by Bishop Reginald of Bath (1174-91) [a protege of Thomas Beckett] for the sick and poor of the city in order that they might have the benefit of the waters. It was endowed with lands and tenements in Bath and with a tithe of hay from the bishop's demesne lands" - from "British History Online."
A chapel to St. Michael was attached and the parish was known as St. Michael's. On the map of Bath, above, the letter "S" denotes St. Michael's. The hospital was noted to be "by the Crosse Bathe." The hospital survived the Reformation. See Shelter in Old Age for a more complete story of the hospital.

Alsy's bath apparently dates from the early Norman period when a bath was built to replace the ruined Roman one and named for Abbot Aelfsige (?-1087), of the Bath Abbey. It was later named the Hot Bath. The street map of Saxon-era Bath, right, shows "Alsi's bath" to be just south of Cross Bath. I suspect then that Geoffrey's land was near the letter "Y" on the 1610 map above.






















Somerset County in the Late Medieval

By the beginning of the 14th century the climate began to cool. Grain yields declined and vineyards closed. Poor harvests meant reduced incomes and rents and many families were thrown off their farms. Then, in 1348, the bubonic plague, the Black Death, arrived in Dorset. It quickly spread to Somerset and the rest of England. As much as half of the population was lost. This wrenching catastrophe was compounded by the effects of the Hundred Years war and the resultant War of the Roses. It was not until the time of Henry VIII, in the 16th century, that adequate records begin to be kept again, and allow us to trace the family afresh.


Mells

This picturesque village, in the Victorian photograph below, is 14 miles due south of Bath, and just west of Frome, in the Hundred of Frome. The Talbot Inn, still extant, dates from the 15th century. It was a mainly agricultural region, though some coal was mined in the west.

The daughter of John. She was christened on 25 February 1589 in Mells, Somerset, England.

(16) John Haysom Jr. (c1580)
(15) John Haysom (c1547)

Possibly the son of John Haysom Sr. I know of him only through his children, all of whom were of Mells.

The following may fit here.

"General Sessions of the Peace Held at Ivelchester on the 6th, 7th, and 8th April, 22 James [1624] . . .
7. Sir John Horner, Robert Hopton, and William Capell esquires, are desired to examine all the differences and controversies between Christopher Truckwell, Thomas Reeves, Margaret Barrett, Richard Cornish, and others, of the one part, and John Haysame, of the other side; and to order and determine them if they can, and if not, to certify at the next Session their opinions therein." - from the "Somerset Record Society"

His children were,
(17) Martha Haysom (1613)
(17) Elizabeth Haysom (1617)
(17) Jane Haysom (1620)
(17) Jane Haysom (1631)

(15) John Haysom (c1547) (16) John Haysom Jr. (c1580)

The daughter of John. She was christened on 8 July 1631 in Mells, Somerset, England. This birth seems awfully late.


North Cadbury

A village and a parish in the Hundred of Catsash. It is about 12 miles southwest of Mells, and 20 miles east of Bridgwater.

(15) Thomas Haysome (c1548)

Tho Haysome married Frauncis Pennye on 14 November 1569 in North Cadbury, Somerset, England. I, of course, want to see Thomas as a brother of John Haysom of Mells, above.


Frome Selwood

Frome Selwood and Frome are the same villages. Note the use of the former name [as Frome Shelwood] on the old Somerset map, above. Frome is just a mile or two east of Mells.

(16) Henry Heysham (c1574)

There is a reference to a Henry Heysham, yeoman, of Frome Selwood, dated 1604. - from the Somerset Record Office. Nothing else is known about the reference. The following is of the right era and place.

"Friggle Street [Freglestreet].
. . .
John Thynne v. Henry Heysam and Frideswide his wife, temp. Eliz., concern. a messuage, &c., in Friglestreet. (Cal. of Chan. Proc. iii. 168)" - from "Somersetshire Parishes" by Arthur Lee Humphreys.
Friggle Street is just southeast of Frome. This was not so much a street as an area, Freglestreet, held of the lord of the manor of Frome Selwood.

John Thynne

John Thynne was Sir John, steward to Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset and brother of Jane Seymour, the 3rd Queen of Henry VIII. Thynne held that position from 1536 to 1552. The former priories of Longleat and Hinton Charterhouse were granted by the Crown to Seymour, who sold them to his steward Thynne on 25 June 1541. The Frome estates were acquired at this time. Thynne became Member of Parliament in 1545. He suffered when Seymour fell from power, but recovered his offices when Elizabeth took the throne. He died in 1580. His heir was his eldest son, John.

In another document we have a man you may be Henry's son, or his brother.

"Lands and tenements in Freglestreet, in tenure of Robert Haysom for 60 years if Walter S. so long live, during his life 14/-, but afterwards L1." - from "Sales of Wards in Somerset, 1603-1641"

(17) Robert Haysom (c1600)
(16) Henry Heysham (c1574)

Perhaps Henry's son.


Bridgwater

The following family, the Hayshams, while they lived in Bridgwater, Somerset for many long generations, probably arose from a Dorset family, shown below. Their earliest relative was a "Jn Haysham" who was listed in Dorset in a Tudor muster roll. My current guess is that this particular line finds its roots in John Haysham of Weymouth. Also note the Haysom/Hayshams of Swanage, which is just south of Poole.

(18) John Haysham Sr. (c1612)

The father of John Haysham Jr. There was a will for John Haysham of Weymouth, Dorset, proved on 12 June 1668.

(18) John Haysham Jr. (c1642)
(18) John Haysham Sr. (c1612)

I don't know where John Jr. was born, but there was a John Haysom who was born in 1636 in Newport, Isle of Wight. He married Elisabeth March in about 1660 in Newport.

The first time we catch sight of John Haysham was in an official status, perhaps as a coast watcher, in Weymouth, Dorset in 1667. Weymouth is on the southern coast of England, west of Poole. It is possible, based on his tenure as Collector of Poole in 1672, that he was already in that position.

29 June 1667. Weymouth. "J. Haysham, junr., to James Hickes. A. Hamburger, from Madeira, has brought a packet of letters from Sir John Harman, Commander of a squadron of seven frigates and two fire-ships which had set sail for the Western islands. The French have plundered Antigua and the other small islands, but left no men there. The Hamburger was plundered by a Flushinger off Land's End." - from "Calendar of State Papers, Domestic Series, of the Reigh of Charles II" by Mary Anne Everett Green, of 1939, page 244

6 July 1667. Weymouth. "J. Haysham, jun., to James Hickes. On appearance of 40 sail in the West Bay, the town company and those companies that were in the town were presently in a position of defence. The Deptford went to see what they were, and found them to be the Strait's fleet and some coasters from Plymouth. The Duke of Richmond's troop came from Dorchester on the alarm; the troops returned on finding they were only English, but the Duke still remains; the company were soon in posture, with a cheerful heart, to engage the enemy, had there been occasion. In writing on a drum-head in the field, where the town company is waiting for his Grace." - Ibid, page 271
West Bay, the harbor of Bridport, is in western Dorset. Junior implies a John Haysham Sr.


England in 1667

England was at war with the Dutch, fought over trade disputes, and things were not going well for England. In June a Dutch fleet under Admiral de Ruyter raided up the river Medway, captured the town of Sheerness, burnt the dockyards at Chatham, as well as many navy ships, and carried away the royal barge, and the British fleet's nominal flagship, THE ROYAL CHARLES. They followed up with an attack on Royal Navy ships in London. This embarassing defeat led to a quick end to the war and a favorable treaty for the Dutch, ending the Second Anglo-Dutch war.

John held the post of Collector of Customs at Poole, then went to Bridgwater, in Somerset, in the same post.

17 February 1672. "Humphrey Wharton, Collector at Bridgwater, to be removed from the employ and ___ Heysham, now collector at Poole, is to replace him."

23 February 1672. "__ Willey as Collector of Poole port, loco__ Heysham, removed to be Collector of Bridgwater port."

1 April 1672. "Mr. Haysham (Heysham) to be sent as his Majesty's collector [in the port] of Bridgwater, with 50l. per an. salary."

1 April 1672. "The Treasury Lords to the Customs Commissioners to employ __ Haysham as Collector of Customs, Bridgwater port." - from the "Calendar of Treasury Books."

Bridgwater

Bridgwater is a busy market town and river port lying in the valley of the fiercely tidal Parrett river at the foot of the Quantocks, with the Somerset levels and the Mendip Hills stretched out before it. The cloth trade had been a major industry since the 15th century, but suffered during the Industrial revolution when manufacturing moved north. The increasing importance of Bristol, to the north, also adversely affected the city. The manufacture of roofing tiles and bricks, and improvements to communications helped the town grow in the 19th century.

Ashcott is a parish 8 miles due east of Bridgwater.

Curry Rivel is on the Parret river, upriver and southeast of Bridgwater approximately 9 miles.

Bruton is on the eastern edge of the shire.

22 November 1679: "Bridgwater: John Haysham, collector." - from "Calendar of Treasury Books."

John died before 8 September 1680: "Treasury warrant to the Customs Commissioners to employ Edward Blackwall as Collector in Bridgwater port loco John Haysham, lately deceased." - from the Calendar of Treasury Books, volume 6, 1679-1680."

"Conveyance by lease and release of lands in Pilley and Warborne . . . 1691
. . .
(i) Elizabaeth Haysham of Bridgewater, Somerset, widow, and John Haysham of Bruton, Somerset, goldsmith, son and heir of John Haysham of Bridgewater, deceased
ii) Richard Budden of South Damerahm, Wiltshire, gent" - from the Hampshire Record Office
Pilley and Warborne were in Hampshire, quite close to each other near its southwest coast. I think this makes clear the connection between this family and that of the Hayshams of Gosport and Titchfield.

After his death an investigation was made into the Customs service in the western ports.

"Their testimony provided evidence that the chief culprits included, besides themselves and Blackwall (and his deceased predecessor in the post, one Heysham) . . . A few of the instances of the crimes revealed in the evidence of these men and others concerned deliberate short entering of goods in the customs books and the occasional 'coloring' of smuggled goods found in warehouses . . . The majority of frauds, however, consisted of turning blind eyes to straightforward smuggling from ships at Steart (sometimes via lighters), along the course of the Parrett or often quite openly at Bridgwater quay itself--all in return for bribes.
. . .
Punishment and reward followed. Heysham, Blackwall's predecessor as collector, had put himselff beyond Culliford's retribution by dying . . ." - from "The Seventeenth-Century Customs Service Surveyed; William Culliford's Investigation of the Western Ports, 1682-84"

John married Elizabeth. His children were,
(19) John Haysham (c1670)
(19) Thomas Haysham (1672)
(19) George Haysham (1677)

The Customs House

A customs house was sited at Bridgwater on the West Quay on the River Parrett, below. The River Parrett has a considerable tidal range. The buildings have a Dutch look about them and were influenced by settlers from Holland who came to the town in its past.

The customs staff consisted of a,

Collector, the top official, who was responsible for sending the money collected to the Exchequer in London; below him was a,

Controller, who acted as an accountant and a,

Searcher, who examined goods and assembled duty.

Landing Waiters who supervised unloading,

Coast Waiters who checked coastal shipping and,

Tide Waiters, or Tides Men, who boarded incoming ships.

There were also clerks and warehousemen.


(19) John Haysham (c1670)
(18) John Haysham Sr. (c1612) (18) John Haysham (c1642)

A conveyance of lease and release of lands in Pilley and Warborne in 1692 made reference to "(i) Elizabaeth Haysham of Bridgewater, Somerset, widow, and John Haysham of Bruton, Somerset, goldsmith, son and heir of John Haysham of Bridgewater, deceased." Could this be the (19) John Haysham (c1670), goldsmith, of Newport, Isle of Wight?

(19) Thomas Haysham (1672)
(18) John Haysham Sr. (c1612) (18) John Haysham (c1642)

A gentleman. He was born on 10 January 1672 to John and Elizabeth Haysham.

"1672 10 Jan Thomas Haysham - John and Elizabeth." - from Bridgwater Baptisms, Somerset Archive and Record Service
He may have married Mary. Note that two of his children, Mary and Thomas, are either called "gent" or married one.

Thomas, like his father, John, held a government post in the Customs House.

12 April 1715 - Thomas Haysham, gent, of Bridgewater - "Treasury letters patent constituting Thomas Haysham, gent. as searcher at Bridgwater." - from Out Letters (Customs) XVI, p. 218.
The Searcher, or Deputy Collector, boarded vessels to search them for contraband and to ensure all goods were charged the proper fees upon landinng. This was a patronage job, requiring good connections to obtain and hold. Was Thomas the deputy to his father, the head Collector?

Thomas was later Tidesman as well as Searcher at Bridgwater. A Tidesman [waiter, tidewaiter], like a searcher, was a Customs House officer who went on board merchant ships to secure payment of duites. He died in 1741.

30 September 1742. "Treasury warrants. Thomas Baker, tidesman at Bridgwater, loco Thomas Haysham, deceased; . . ."

"Treasury letters patent. Thomas Baker, ut supra, searcher at Bridgwater and all the ports, members, and creeks thereof, loco Thomas Haysham, deceased." - from "Warrants for Minor Appointments: 1742, Calendar of Treasury Books and Papers," Volume 5: 1742-1745 (1903), pp. 208-223
A Thomas Haysham, of Bridgwater, was buried in 1742 - from "Wills and Administrations, Dorset, Somerset."

His children were,
(20) Thomas Haysham (c1700)
(20) John Haysham (1697)
(20) Elizabeth Haysham (1701)
(20) Mary Haysham (1708)
(20) George Haysham (1711)

(20) Thomas Haysham (c1700)
(18) John Haysham Sr. (c1612) (18) John Haysham (c1642) (19) Thomas Haysham (1672)

I don't have baptismal records for Thomas as I do for his supposed siblings, but this seems to fit here, especially considering the reference to John Evered, below. Since, as you'll see, Thomas Jr. was his father's executor, I'll also assume that he was the elder son, or born as early as 1696, though I'll just call it circa 1700.

I have two references for a Thomas Haysham that may be for the same man. First, Thomas Haysham was made trustee of grant to Henry Hooper of Bridgwater,

Date: 1741
Title: "Assignment to attend the inheritance of premises in Bridgwater by Thomas Watts of the City of London, Esq., to Thomas Haysham of Bridgwater, gent."
Description: "By a lease (99 years and 3 lives), 1727, the Duke of Chandos granted to Henry Hooper of Bridgwater, hellier [a roofer or thatcher], a plot or parcel of ground on or near the quay, being 30 ft in length from East to West, and 14 ft wide, bounded on the East with the said quay, on the South with the salt house wall, on the West with a dwelling house lately erected at the expense of the Duke of Chandos, and on the North with Chandos Street. The said Henry Hooper, in pursuance of covenants, built a brick dwelling house on the said plot, and mortgaged the premises in 1729 for £80 and interest to the Duke of Chandos; the mortgage was assigned to the said Thomas Watts in 1734, and by release [missing] of even date with the document here described, Watts reconveyed the premises to Henry Hooper for £105, the said Thomas Haysham being Hooper's trustee." - from the Somerset Record Office
Second, a Thomas Haysham of Bridgwater was assigned the deed to his father's property. Note that Thomas' father died before 1743, when the will was probated. The Thomas Haysham above died in 1741/2.
Date: 6 Jun 1743
Title: Assignment
Description: "1. Thomas Haysham of Bridgwater Somerset, saddler administrator to his father Thomas Haysham of Bridgwater, gent., deceased.
2. John Evered of Bridgwater, gent.
3. John Ropper of Mark Somerset, husbandman.
4. John Hole of Mark, yeoman.
5. John Gilling the younger and Samuel Giblet both of Mark, yeomen.
Assignment from 1, 2, 3 and 4 to 5 for the remainder of a 1000 year lease of a cottage with garden and backside and an acre of meadow called Batty Acre in Mark. Consideration: £25." - from the Somerset Record Office
A 1000 year lease?!!! Note that a John Evered married (20) Mary Haysham (1708), the daugther of (19) Thomas Haysham (1672), which I think strengthens my case that that our Thomas is the son of (19) Thomas. A Thomas Haysham, of Bridgwater, was buried in 1791 - from "Wills and Administrations, Dorset, Somerset." This could also refer to Thomas' nephew, below.

(20) John Haysham (1697)
(18) John Haysham Sr. (c1612) (18) John Haysham (c1642) (19) Thomas Haysham (1672)

"1697 26Jul John Haysham - Thomas and Mary." - from Bridgwater Baptisms, Somerset Archive and Record Service. I suspect he married Elizabeth. He had two sons, both named Thomas, the first one dying young I suspect.

(21) Thomas Haysham (1726)
(18) John Haysham Sr. (c1612) (18) John Haysham (c1642) (19) Thomas Haysham (1672) (20) John Haysham (1697)

(21) Thomas Haysham (1727)
(18) John Haysham Sr. (c1612) (18) John Haysham (c1642) (19) Thomas Haysham (1672) (20) John Haysham (1697)

"1727 17Jul Heysham Thomas - John and Elizabeth." - from Bridgwater Baptisms, Somerset Archive and Record Service.

(20) Elizabeth Haysham (1701)
(18) John Haysham Sr. (c1612) (18) John Haysham (c1642) (19) Thomas Haysham (1672)

"1701 28Nov Elizabeth Haysham - Thomas and Mary." - from Bridgwater Baptisms, Somerset Archive and Record Service.

If her elder brother, Thomas, was actually the Thomas Haysham of Titchfield whose daughter married into the Cort family, then she might be the Elizabeth who married John Ward, of Crabborn.

"John Ward, Esq., b. 1690, m. Elizabeth Heysham; and d. 1770, having had issue,
I. John, his heir
II. Thomas, d. young
III. Mary, d. young"
John Ward, Esq., b. in 1735, son and heir, m. Elizabeth Young, and d. in 1787, leaving issue," - from "A Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Landed Gentry."
Crabborn is just five miles from Gosport. Thomas Haysham, the Duke of Portland's manager of his Titchfield estates, would, in this scenario, have used his influence to introduce Elizabeth to Ward.

"Do we find one of these descendants in 1799, when Henry Bell Cort, eldest son of Henry and Elizabeth, is confined to a mental hospital in Calcutta? He is visited by one Rev Dr James Ward, who claims to be a distant relation. James turns out to be the son of "John Ward, of Newport, Hants" (i.e. Isle of Wight), who seems to have held the post of Deputy Comptroller at the Custom House in nearby Cowes, and could easily have been born in 1735." - from .

Dorset

The county of Dorset lies on the south coast of England, between the more cosmopolitan counties of Hampshire and Sussex, and those of the rude west of Devon and Cornwall. North are Somerset and Wiltshire. The downs are prime sheep raising territory. It is today most famous for its tourist destinations of Poole and Bournemouth.

The following villages, all in eastern Dorset, have meaning for the Haysham/Haysom family. At least one source claims that the family's orgins are in the north of the county and that they moved south, eventually settling most densely in Swanage.

The village of Iwerne Courtney, also known as Shroton, is in the Northern Division of Dorset, as is Tarrant Hinton which lies in the Tarrant valley, just east of Iwerne Courtney. Woolland (I suspect its name denotes it prime occupation) is in the mountains, southwest of Iwerne Courtney.

Sturminster Marshall on the Stour river is in the Eastern Division of Dorset, a couple of miles northwest of Poole.

Bere-Regis, a village and a parish, is west northwest of Poole and southwest of Sturminster Marshall in the Eastern Division of Dorset. Originally located on the main road linking east and west Dorset, now bypassed, Bere Regis sits on gently undulating hills at the boundary between chalk downlands to the north and sandy heathlands to the south.

Swanage in on the English channel, south of Poole and Bournemouth. ON the opposite side of Poole Bay is the Isle of Wight. The village of Langton Matravers is due west a few miles of Swanage and Corfe Castle is northwest about two miles.

The earliest reference to the family in Dorset is from the "Dorset Tudor Muster Rolls, 1539, 1542, 1569" by T. L. Stoate. It mentions,

"Jn Haysham bow sh. arr [sheathe of arrows] sword dagger"


Est Pulham Tithing
"Pet Haysom set to bow 4 arr"


The Borough of Blandford [this is near Eweme Courtney and the original home of the Ryves family]

- from CCED: Person Records Window

In 1694 [?] Robert Haysome was listed as clerk and rector of Little Langford - from Adminstration bond, inventory, Wiltshire and Swindon Archives

"William Powell, rector of Little Langford, through death of Robert Heysome. Patron: John Gauntlet vice Earl of Pembroke." - from the administrative records of the Diocese of Salisubry, "Presentations, etc., also the testimonial of a schoolmaster, resignations, one or two letters and a list of clergy instituted," 1694
Again, this was probably the notice of a vacancy being filled, vice the notice of Robert's death. "Robert Haysome gave 5s the profit to the Church for ever." The latter sounds like something from a will.

Below is of interest and I suspect it fits here.

Dorset: Iwerne Courtney

(18) Mr. Haysome (1622)

He was born in about 1622 at Iwerne Courtney [Eweme Courtney], Dorset, England. A Haysome of Ewerne Courtney married Arethusa Ryves, probably circa 1650. She was baptized at E.C. [Eweme Courtney] in 1626, the daughter of George Ryves, of Damory, Dorset. She married a "Mr. Haysome or Haxtham as the will of her brother . . . [snippet]" - from "Reliques of the Rives (Ryves)" by James Rives Childs, page 28.

There is another research who claims that the marriage took place between John Heysham, born 1620 in Sturminster Marshall, Dorset, and Arethusa Ryves, born in 1626 in Ewerne, Dorset. Their children were Robert, Stephen and three others.

The Ryves Family

The Ryves family of Damory court was both ancient and influential.

(13) Robert Ryves (1490)

Of Blandford Forum, Dorset. He married Joan. Robert Ryves bought Randelston, now called Ranston, in 36 Henry VIII, 1545. It is an estate of 1600 acres situated at Ewerne Courtney, about five miles N,W. of Blandford Forum. In 1548/9 he bought the estate of Damory Court which is no longer in existance. Robert Ryves owned at his death, land in North Cheriton, Point in County Somerset, and at fifehead Neville about ten mioes N.W. of Blandford.

He died on 11 February 1551 in Damory Castle, Dorset. He was buried in the old church of St.Peter and St Paul in Blandford, Dorsetshire England. Joan died in 1560. Their children were John, Agnes, and another daughter.

Ryves arms: Argent, on a bend cotised sable three lozenges ermine.

(14) John Ryves (1514)
(13) Robert Ryves (1490)

He was born in 1514 in Blandford, Dorset. Esq., Of Damory Court, lived in the early part of the 16th century. He married Amye Harvey of Tarant Launceston. He died in 1549. His children were John, Mary, Margaret, Jane, Robert, Richard and Thomas.

(15) Sir John Ryves (1536)
(13) Robert Ryves (1490) (14) John Ryves (1514)

He was born on 24 June 1536, in Dorset. Esq., Of Damory Court. Hutchins says that his fortune was 20,000 pounds per year, which was an enormous sum for that day. He was the first of his family to matriculate at Oxford. He passed thence to the Middle Temple of the Inns of Court for the study of law, where he was admitted on 27 January 1555/6 as "son and heir of John Ryve of Blandford co. Dorset, gent." (Ingpen, Middle Temple Bench Book). He enlarged his property by buying from Queen Elizabeth I the manor of Compton Abbas.

John Ryves married Elizabeth Mervyn in 1556. She was the daughter of Sir John Mervyn of Fonthill, co. Wilts, Knight. He died on 18 May 1587.

(16) Sir John Ryves (1557)
(13) Robert Ryves (1490) (14) John Ryves (1514) (15) Sir John Ryves (1536)

He was born on 4 June 1557 in Dorset. He married Anne, the daughter of Sir Robert Naper [Napper], of Dorsetshire. Secondly he married Dorothy, the daughter of Henry Hastings, Esq., of Woodlands. He died on 3 January 1625. I don't know of any heirs.

(16) Dr. George Ryves (1559)
(13) Robert Ryves (1490) (14) John Ryves (1514) (15) Sir John Ryves (1536)

He was born in 1559 in Dorset. "He was one of the most illustrious scholars of his day in England . . . His chief claim to fame is that he was one of the translators of the King James version of the Bible, being charged with overseeing translation of the New Testament, a work which was begun in 1605, completed in 1611. He never married, and left no will, but he left a legacy of greater value than if he had had a large family" - from "Reeves Review Book II" by Emma Barrett Reeves. He died on 31 May 1613.

(16) Henry Ryves (1566)
(13) Robert Ryves (1490) (14) John Ryves (1514) (15) Sir John Ryves (1536)

He was born in 1566. He settled in Barton Stacy. He married Christiana. He died in 1620, in Dorset. He had two children, George and Elizabeth. Elizabeth married her cousin George Ryves of Ranston. Their son John was the last of the Damory Line.

(15) Robert Ryves (1544)
(13) Robert Ryves (1490) (14) John Ryves (1514)

He was born in 1544 in Damory Castle, Dorset, the second son of John Ryves and Amye Harvey. He married Margareta Gilcot. He died on 27 July 1576 and was buried in Ewerne Courtney, Dorset.

The youngest son of John Ryves, he was born in 1588 in Ranson, Dorset. He married Elizabeth. He died on 3 July 1666 in Ewerne Courtney. His children were Arethusa, George, Henry, Thomas, Richard, Robert, Elizabeth, and Charles. Second he married Mary Hussey and had children John and Elizabeth.

(18) Arethusa Ryves (1626)
(13) Robert Ryves (1490) (14) John Ryves (1514) (15) Robert Ryves (1544) (16) John Ryves (c1565) (17) George Ryves (1588)

She was christened in Ewerne Courtney, Dorset in 1626, the eldest child of George Ryves.

(16) Bruno Ryves (1594)
(13) Robert Ryves (1490) (14) John Ryves (1514) (15) Thomas Ryves (1549)

Probably the most noteworthy of all the Ryves of England. Scholar, author and chaplain to Charles I and II. Dean of Windsor. He died on 13 July 1677.

Interestingly, there was a Haysome ad Oxon, no first names given, at Wincester school in 1676. In the same class was a Ryves ad Winton and another Commen. ex Coll. - from the "Winchester Long Rolls, 1653-1721" by Clifford Wyndham Holgate. This might, however, refer to a George Haysome who was in 1674, along with John Taylour, a Prefect of Tub [?] and School, respectively. The name Haysome, Haysom and Haisome are repeated frequently between 1670 and 1684. Could Haysome and Ryves have been clergy/teachers and was this the connection between the two families that led to marriage? Note the George and Robert Haysome's, below, who were clergy.

There was a burial for a Thomas Haysome of Cranborne in December 1668 - from "Calendar of Dorset Administrations in the Probate Registry at Blandford, Dorset." Arethusa subsequently married a Sidney and a Hawker. The other researcher referenced above says John Heysham, the husband of Arethusa, died in 1726, at the age of 66.

The children of Thomas and Arethusa were,
(19) Thomas Haysome/Heysham (c1650)
(19) Anne Haysome (c1651)
(19) Theodocia Haysome (c1652)
(19) Elizabeth Haysome (c1653)

(19) Thomas Haysome/Heysham (c1650)
(18) Mr. Haysome (c1622)

The son of Mr. Haysome and Arethusa Ryves of Damory, Dorset.

From a Ryves family will:

". . . and all other my household goods which I bought since my husband's death also their [her Haysome neices] brother Thomas Haysome's picture and my . . ." - from "Reliques of the Rives (Ryves)" by James Rives Childs, page 28
A will by the brother of Arethusa Ryves Haysome states,
". . . to my nephew Thomas Haysome and to mee neeces Anne Theodosia and Elizabeth Haysome [the children of Mr. Haysome and Arethusa] L100 ate the age of 21 or dayes of marriage . . . Codicil: I doe hereby give unto my three loveing Neeces Anne Haysome Theodocia Haysome and Elizabeth Hayome L1000 which is oweing from ffancis [sic] Lutterell Esq . . . " - Ibid, page 32
The following may be from an aunt.
". . . Anne Haysome [garbled] Lockett in remembrance of the Queen and L10 in money. I give unto my niece Elizabeth Haysome my Gold Watch, unto my nephew Thomas Haysome L10, and the two pictures of his two sisters . . . " - Ibid, page 34

There is also a reference to a Thomas Heysham in the court case of Merry v. Ryves of 14/15 July 1757. I think the significance of the Heysham spellling is simply that the court corrected the "provincial" spelling of Haysome in their manuscript.

"In that case there were trusts "to raise by sale or mortgage 1,000l. each for the sisters of George Ryves (of whom the plaintiff's mother was one) to be paid them respectively, at an upon their respective days of marriage, so as they respectively married with the consent of the said George Ryves, Ann Ryves, their mother, and Thomas Heysham, and the suvivors or survivor of them; but in case any or either of them should marry without such consent it was declared that she or them so marrying should not receive such 1,000l., neither should any money be raised for or paid to her or them so marrying without consent."" - from "British Rulling Cases from Courts of Great Britain."
Thomas is later called a trustee. It would make sense as the cousin of George Ryves. The original indenture of George Ryves was dated 1708 and the case of Merry v. Ryves grew out of the proposal of Anthony Merry to Arundel Ryves, George's dauther, in 1721. The case was brought by Anthony's son 36 years after the event. Arundel Ryves, baptized at E.C. 12 July 1700, married Anthony Merry - Ibid, page 37. The Ryves were of Randleston and Damory Court.

Dorset: Swanage:

All the Hayshams/Haysoms of Swanage are apparently related. There are still Haysham/Haysom's living there today. W.J. Haysom & Son is still in the quarry business, very like their stone mason forebears. In 1896 the following Haysom's owned Purbeck Stone mines - from the Tables compiled by Joseph S. Martin, H.M. Inspector for the South Western District in his Report for 1896:

Henry Haysom - Fair Haven - Herston, Swanage
John Haysom - South Barn Farm - Ashler row, Swanage
Frederick Haysom - South Barn - High Street, Swanage
Today David Haysom is the curator of the Swanage museum. Much of the information below is based on the work of John Haysom of Bristol, England.

Swanage

Located on the southern coast of England, on the channel, since Roman times Swanage has been the centre of the local stone industry, It became a quarry town and harbour from which Purbeck Marble was shipped for use in many cathedrals in Europe. Purbeck Marble was used to build Westminster Abbey, and the Cathedrals of Lincoln, Salisbury and Exeter.


Dorothy Haysom (1581)

She was probably born in about 1581. She married John Payne on 15 June 1602. Her existence indicates that the family was in Swanage at a very early date.

(18) Unknown Heysham (c1610-1630)

One researcher feels that this was Edgidji [latinate for Giles] Heisham of Lancaster, whose son was Robert Heisham, christened on 10 July 1663 in St. Mary, Lancaster. However, William Heysham, M.P. for Lancaster, created a genealogy to support his request for a coat-of-arms that clearly put these men into his direct line. Note also that these were rich merchants and politicians, not the sort whose sons you would expect to become stone masons, no matter how noble that profession.

"... contemporary family records suggest that five Haysom brothers - whose father had died as a younger son of a family with a little property in north Dorset [Sturminster Marshall?] - came to Swanage at this time [late 17th century] and entered the stone trade; by 1800 one in twenty of the population of about 1,000 was named Haysom."

There were two Haysom men of Swanage, brothers?, who appear to begin this line,
(19) Robert Heysom (c1646) and
(19) Thomas Heysham (c1646)

The Robert Heysham Line of Swanage

(19) Robert Heysom (c1646)

Robert Haisom married Bridget [Gover] Gill on 27 April 1680 in Swanage, Dorset - from the Parish Registers. Bridget was baptized on 26 September 1646, the daughter of Peter and Margery Gover. She was the widow of John Gill, who had died in 1673. Bridget's date of birth argues for this early date of birth for Robert. It doesn't look like any of Robert's children, below, belonged to Bridget.

Robert was a Purbeck Marbler [he dug the purbeck marble out of the local cliffs]. He was one of the signatories to the newly reaffirmed Articles of the Order of Purbeck Marblers in 1698. This Order was an association of "free," or independent, miners. The members of the Order, a trade guild, still meet each Shrove Tuesday in Corfe Castle to exercise their ancient rights and to play medieval [mob] football. Note that John Gill, the first husband of Robert's wife, Bridget, probably a member of the Order as well. The supposition, I believe made by researcher John Haysom of Bristol, is that "Robert may have therefore entered the Order of Marblers by marrying a quarrier's widow."

The Ancient Order of Purbeck Marblers and Stonecutters

"From around 1650, good limestone was not easily available on the surface of Purbeck, but had to be mined in pits known as quarrs. The Ancient Order of Purbeck Marblers and Stone Cutters controlled the stone trade. One of their articles gave them the right to take stone from any land on the Isle [Isle of Purbeck], whoever owned it; another restricted the trade to freemen and their sons. The Order still has its headquarters in Corfe Castle; a new charter was awarded in the sixteenth century after the old one was destroyed by fire." - from "Villages of Britain" by Clive Aslet

"Bridgett, ye wife of Robert Heysam, was buryed ye 12 Jan 1694/5" - from Swanage - Parish Register, 1563-1812.

"Robert Heysom, widdower, & Mary Kate [Thornton?], singlewoman, were marryed, after thrice publication of ye Banns ye 25 Apr 1695." from the Swanage Parish Register. Mary was born in about 1663.

Mary was buried on 20 October 1732 at Swanage. Robert was buried 6 January 1736 [or 25 February 1723] in Swanage. See also Re: Isaac Haysom of Swanage, Dorset for more information.

The children of Robert and Mary Heysom were,
(20) John Heysom (1696)
(20) Mary Heysom (1699)
(20) Robert Heysom (1699)

(20) John Heysom (1696)
(19) Robert Heysom (c1646)

The son of Robert and Mary. He was christened on 31 March 1696 in Swanage Parish church, Dorset, England. He married Margaret Iles on 19 June 1720 in Swanage. A John Haysham was buried at Swanage on 29 Septeber 1755. Margaret, his widow, was buried on 16 March 1755.

Their children were,

(21) John Haysome (1724)
(21) Thomas Haysome (1728)

(21) John Haysome (1734)

(21) Christopher Haysome (1720)
(19) Robert Heysom (c1646) (20) John Heysom (1696)

A marbler. The son of John and Margaret Haysome. He was baptized on 24 June 1720 in Swanage. Christopher Haysham married Katherine Warren, at East Stoke, on 17 February 1750. Christopher died on 28 March 1779 from injuries after fall from cliff in Durlston Bay.

The children of Christopher and Catherine were,

The son of Christopher and Katherine. He was baptized on 25 September 1751 in Swanage. Christopher Haysham married Anne Bonville, of Swanage, on 13 October 1774. The witnesses were Mary Haysom and John Briggs. Christopher Haysom Jnr. married Elizabeth Weeks on 29 December 1783 [this could be (23) Christopher Haysom, below]. Christopher died on 6 April 1823, "Christopher Haysom, 71, fell over cliff in Duriston Bay and died within 24 hours from his injuries." The children of Christopher and Ann were,

Peter Haysom, the son of John and Mary Haysom, was baptized on 8 September 1805 in Swanage, Dorset.

In the 1841 census of Swanage, Dorset as Peter Haysome. Living with him were his wife, Grace, and children, Henry, 8, William, 6, Mary Ann, 3, and Nathan, 1.

He died on 19 September 1845 in Wareham, Doset and buried on 23 September in Swanage. His gravestone at St. Mary's, Swanage reads "Peter Haysom, died Sept. 19th 1845, Aged 40 years."

The inscription above goes on "Also, Henry Smedmore Haysom, Son of the above who died in South America Nov. 24 1850 Aged 17 years." I had thought his meant that perhaps Peter had married a Smedmore and honored her surname by giving it to her son as a middle name, a common practice. However, I recently received an email from a descendent,

"In fact, Peter [the descendent's great-great grandfather] married a Grace Tombs, and while she and Peter did have a son called Henry Smedmore Haysom, I understand it was quite usual for children to be given the name of a godparent, and perhaps this is what Henry and Grace Smedmore were and why Henry Smedmore Haysom received his unusual name." - from Penny Haysom
I've also seen such names given based on a close friendship or on the hope/desire to share in an inheritance.

Penny goes on,

"What is interesting is my grandfather [that is, two generations later] had a brother called Harry Smedmore Haysom who was a ship's steward and died on a liner off the coast of Rio at the age of 45."

Televen Haysom is John Haysom of Bristol's cousin. See W. J. Haysom Purbeck Stone.

Joseph Martin Heesem (c1891)

In the 1911 census of Plymouth, Devon, England as Joseph Martin Heesem, a 20 year old assistant fishmonger, of Devonport, Devon. He was living at home with his parents, Joseph, 57, and Caroline Heesem, 55.

I have a J.M. Heesem "elected Associate Member, 1916, 576." - from "Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers." This appears to have been Joseph Martin Heesem, of London. He was, at one point, a Lieutenant. Joseph died on 7 September 1955.

I assume Hilda was Joseph's daughter.


I've also found a Willen Heesem of Leerdam, the Netherlands.



Cornwall:

Names to investigate include Hysom, Hysome.

(?) Robert Hysome

He married Anne.

The daughter of Christopher and Agnes Hysom. She was christened on 7 December 1729 in Maker, Cornwall.

Reverend W. Heysham (c1800)

Who the heck is the following man? Could he be a Haysham of Devon/Somerset?

". . . they must install a steam engine. Efforts to have one made locally failed and even an attempt to buy a second hand engine from the Caledonian Canal Co. had failed. On 1st December, 1837, it was ordered that the Rev. W. Heysham, a Director, and Mr Thompson, their engineer, should visit 'the several firms of Messrs. Sandys Carne and Vivian; Messrs. Harvey & Co, of Hayle, Cornwall, and Messrs. Foxes & Co. of Perran Wharf, near Truro.' Copperhouse do not seem to have been interested; Perran sent their engineer, Mr. Hoskin, to Carlisle with a plan but the deputation had liked the 60" they saw at Hayle and the reception they had got from William West when they visited Fowey Consols. Accordingly, on 12 January, 1838, . . ." - from "The Journal of the Trevithick Society."
The Trevithick Society encourages interest in Cornish industrial archaeology and so this is probably about the Hayshams of Devon or Somerset. That is, not related to the Heysham's of the north.
