Peter Hayes ca 1650 - 1721 |
his
parents
& ca 1669 Elizabeth Flake
| her parents
of Blackwater River, Isle of Wight Co, Virginia
This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!!
Peter Hayes of Blackwater was born about 1650 at the Hayes plantation
on Pagan Creek in Virginia.
He lived his life on the Blackwater River, that waterway which
flows directly south to North Carolina. At maturity he was employed by Robert Flake Sr., a
wealthy landowner.
Robert Flake is said to have been one of the richest men in Isle of
Wight County (Boddie, Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight Co., p 202.)
Peter Hayse
married Elizabeth Flake about the year 1669.
Peter left his will, probated Mar 1720/21.
There is also a deed of gift from Robert Flake
Sr [Deed dated Aug 16 1691] wherein he gives 200 acres to each of his three grandsons: Robert, Samuel, and Peter
Hayes.
Robert Flake d ca 1698. These parcels of land were located
on "the second swamp of the Blackwater".
The Quit Rent Roll for Isle of Wight County, 1704, shows Peter Hayes paying taxes-rent on
another 600 acres which seems to have been the dowry of his mother, Elizabeth Flake.
(Cognets English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records p205.)
The will of Peter Hayes of
Blackwater mentions Robert "Hase" and Arther "Hase". (Hayes, A E:
