512. Richard HAYES was born in 1625 in Epwell, Oxford, England. He signed a will on 23 Jun 1676 in Oxon County, England.³⁰⁷
"Memorandum that on or about ye twenty third day of June Anno Dni. one thousand six hundred seaventy six Richard hayes of ffulwel in ye County of Oxon late dec'd being of sound memory and understanding and having intencon to make his will and to dispose of his Estate did in ye presence & hearing of Wm. Paine make and declare his last will and Testament nuncupative or by word of mouth in manner and forme following viz't, hee gave and bequeathed to his two daughters three score pounds apiece and hee gave unto his son so much money as would take his liveing and stocke it And all ye rest of his Estate he gave and bequeathed unto his wife and nominated her sole Executrix of this his last will & Testament nuncupative. All w'ch words or the like in effect were uttered & declared in ye presence of ye aboves'd Wm. Paine who in witness hereof hath hereunto Subscribed his name. Sig. W. Guliel. Paine.


This is the only testator who is described as of Fulwell, and it is unfortunate that the writer of the will did not give the names of his will and children. On the supposition that he was the son of Henry Hayes, of Epwell, he would probably name his son Henry. The will is not recorded.

He died on 24 Jun 1676 in Spelsbury, Fulwell, Oxfordshire, England. He was buried on 25 Jun 1676 in Spelsbury Parish, Fulwell, England.
His body probably lies in the church yard at Spelsbury inasmuch as it is the register of that church that records his burial.
He had his estate probated on 3 Jul 1676 in Oxon County, England.³⁰⁸
A blank occurs where the widow's name should appear.
Richard Hayes's will was nuncupative, viz: one given by word of mouth in the extremity of his last illness, and subsequently committed writing by the witness. It was made 23 Jun 1676; his death took place the next day, and he was buried the day following. The will refers to a son and two daughters, without naming them. The parish register supplies these omissions, mentioning the baptism of his son Henry on 23 May 1667, as already mentioned [elsewhere in book], and of a daughter Mary, on 4 Feb 1670, and recording also the marriage of Joane Hayes, who was probably the other daughter, to Henry Trindar, on 21 May 1685.

Richard HAYES and Margaret were married before 1664.
