Research Notes
John Heyward of York, colony of Virgina is not a son of Lord William Howard of Naworth and Frances Gouldwell, or Sir Francis Howard and Lady Jane Monson. Born of those couples were disproven long ago.
This can also be deduced from the fact that Lord Howard's son, Sir Francis Howard of Corby is not John Heyward's brother. Sir Francis Howard of Corby Castle in the county of Cumberland, lived and died in Europe.
The subject of this profile had a brother -- Francis Heyward ... and he established his home in Virginia, and died in the American colony.
Visit the profile of John Heyward (Hayward), the Virginia colonist. who is probably the same person but wrong dates.
Do not conflate as per the notes left by others, this family were "near relatives" only. See "Relatives" above. Note: The children of Lord William Howard were born at Mount Pleasant house in Enfield Chase, Middlesex.[3] It's about 105 miles or 168.95 KM between Middlesex and Nottinghamshire [4]
