Notes for Thomas De Hayden
Thomas is likely the earliest heydon family member we will find. Records before this time in England do not exist. the name HEYDON derived from the town of Heydon, in the County of Norfolk.
Blomefield says, "the present name of Haydon as it is commonly called, signifies the Highdown or plain on a gill, whish is agreeable to its situation. The Highdown which gives its name to the family is about fourteen miles west of Norwich in Norfolk County, England. William the Conqueror bestowed this section upon the Earl of Warren., who, by intermarriage wit the Haydens, became with them retainers of these estates. They were also intermarried with the Longsvilles, Gurneys, Boleyns, and other noble families. Their Coat of Arms is on record in the British Museum. "Haydon Hall" was in 1829 the seat of William Earl Lygton Bulwer, Esq., older brother of the novelist.
