Notes for JR. JOHN STALEY: 


We have found records confirming that John Staley Jr. is the father of Samuel R. Staley, who is the father of 

Donald N. Staley. We also have records confirming that Donald N. Staley and his second wife Rosa were cousins. 

Rosa is the daughter of 

William W. Staley; therefore, William W. and Samuel were probably brothers or half brothers. We assume that 

John Staley Jr. is the father of both of them. We know that Margaret Barbara Funchess is the mother of Samuel; 

we do not know if she 

is also William W. Staley's mother.

Notes for THOMAS JEFFERSON HAYDEN, SR: 

THE HAYDENS AND THEIR NAME 

The name of Hayden is said to have derived from the town of Heydon, in the county of Norfolk, where the 

family made it's home at an extremely early date. It is found on ancient records in the various forms of Heydon, 

Hayden, Haiden, Heiden, Heyton, Haydens, and Hayden, of which the last is the most generally accepted form of 

the name today. 

The family is claimed by some authorities to have been of Norman extraction but this is not certain. One of the 

earliest records of the family was of Thomas de Heydon, who was living at Heydon Hall and Manor in the late 

twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. He was justice itinerant of the county of Norfolk and was succeeded by his 

eldest son William, who was the father of William de Heydon, his heir, and Judge John de Heydon of Devonshire, 

the last of whom was the ancestor of the noted Devonshire branch of the family. 

William, eldest son and heir of William, died about 1307 and was succeeded by his eldest son Simeon, who was 

the father of David, his heir, and Sir Richard Heydon, who was killed in the wars with France about 1370 and was 

the ancestor of the Hertfordshire line of the Heydons or Haydens. 

David, eldest son of Simeon, had issue by his wife Margarette of a son Hugh, who married Alice Loverds and

Notes for ELIZABETH HAYDEN TAYLOR: 


The name of Hayden is said to have derived from the town of Heydon, in the county of Norfolk, where 

the family made it's home at an extremely early date. It is found on ancient records in the various forms of 

Heydon, Hayden, Haiden, Heiden, Heyton, Haydens, and Hayden, of which the last is the most generally 

accepted form of the name today. 

The family is claimed by some authorities to have been of Norman extraction but this is not certain. One of 

the earliest records of the family was of Thomas de Heydon, who was living at Heydon Hall and Manor in the 

late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. He was justice itinerant of the county of Norfolk and was succeeded 

by his eldest son William, who was the father of William de Heydon, his heir, and Judge John de Heydon of 

Devonshire, the last of whom was the ancestor of the noted Devonshire branch of the family. 

William, eldest son and heir of William, died about 1307 and was succeeded by his eldest son Simeon, who 

was the father of David, his heir, and Sir Richard Heydon, who was killed in the wars with France about 1370 

and was the ancestor of the Hertfordshire line of the Heydons or Haydens. 


had, among others, William, who married Isabel Moore and was succeeded by his eldest son Robert, who 

married Cecily Culton and had William, who married Jane Warren and made his home at Baconsthorp, near 

the ancestral seat in Norfolk County. He married Eleanor Winter and had an only son Henry.
