Name:
We have 2 different lines documented on Pages 122 and 123 of "The Visitation of Cheshire 1613. 1. The Hayes of Little Leigh (Litley), including the family of Peter Hayes, "The Captain". 2. The Hayes of Nantwich and Newhall, including the line from Edward Hayes (possibly Edward Hayes of Liverpool) to Richard Hayes of New Hall, born about 1475. New Hall being most likely in Derbyshire, north of Birmingham, England......We have not found documentation to positively link these 2 families, but names are the same as mentioned in the histories of Peter Hayes" The Captain" and his son Peter Hayes "the Envoy".......We have evidence also of the Hayes of Litley, through "The Visitation of Cheshire 1580", page 121.....We have evidence listed in websites of John Hayes fleeing Belton Manor near Axeholme, North Lincolnshire during the War of the Roses. This is documented on pages 612-617 in "the History of ancient Palentine and Chester in Cheshire", by author George Omerod 1819. However I have never seen a copy of this book "including" pages 612-617.

Orders of Parliament During the War of the Roses...........1. 12 June 1468, " Grant John Swancote of Bristol of half of the Manor of Belton. Formerly belonging to James le Botiller (Butler), Earl of Wiltshire, and in the Kings hand by his forfeiture." Patent Rolls {g} 1466-77 page 126..............2. 12 February 1481, " Commission to John Audely of Audely,Knight, Thomas Seyntleger, Knight, William Huddlesfeld. Issue of Warrant..... Morgan Kedwelly, John Swancote, and John Hayes of Axholme, to enquire what lands James le Botiller, late of Wiltshire,Attained by reason of high treason.By authority of Parliament at Westminster, 1 Edward IV, held in the county of Dorset on 4 March, 1 Edward IV." Patent Rolls {g} 1476-85 page 245



Elizabeth le Botiller, who was the wife of Peter de la Haye, was the sister of James le Botiller who was attained ( executed). As the lands of the Estate at Belton were held by the le Botiller family, not all of the lands were seized by the crown in 1468. other half of the Belton estate was passed down to Elizabeth le Botiller after the death of her brother as he had no legal heir due to Attainment. Therefore the lands passed to Robert de la Haye and then to John Hayes of Axholme.

The Arms of Robert de la Hay, granted in 1424, were considered the arms of the De la Haye family. they bore three gold leopard heads. The arms were lost due to the attainment of John Hayes of Axholme and in 1505 they were re awarded and carried onward by his son John Hayes, then of Litley. Thereby they became the arms of the Hayes of Litley bearing three silver leopard heads.

Died:
John Hayes was arrested by Attainment in 1495, he was executed in Litley. His lands that he had owned in Axholme were seized by the Crown.
