NOTES AND QUERIES. (io s. x. JULY 11, im


J. E. Binney of the Close, Exeter, I have fjscertained the date of Robert Hayman's marriage. Vivian's ' Visitations of Devon,' Tinder the Spicer family, mentions " Grace Spicer, bap. 12 November, 1579, at St. llartin's, Exeter ; married 21st May, 1604, to Robert Hayman, at St. Petrock's, Exeter." The register of St. Martin's in recording Grace Spicer' s baptism calls her " the daughter of Thomas Spicer." The Rev. W. David, vicar of St. Petrock's, tells me that the register of the marriage has ' Robert Haymon" (not " Hayman "). This, however, is immaterial. The ' Quodlibets ' show i-hat their author had an aunt " Mrs. Eliz. Spicer of Exceter," and make it virtually certain that he is the Robert Hayman whose marriage is recorded in the

  • Visitations.' As neither the ' Quodlibets '

Tior Robert Hayman's most interesting wilJ -{mentioned in the 'D.N.B.') makes any reference to wife or child, we may perhaps conclude that there was no issue of the marriage, and that Mrs. Hayman had died before ho settled in Newfoundland. In New- ioundland Hayman was settled at " Harbor- Grace" as Governor of the little colony there. Was the settlement (now one of the chief towns of Newfoundland) named after Hay- man's lost wife ?

The ' D.N.B.' biographer seems to have been unaware of an interesting paper by Robert Hayman contained in Egerton MS. 2541, which is wrongly dated 1630, but was written before Buckingham's assas- sination (23 Aug., 1628). It is a last plea for royal support of the Newfoundland colonists. Perhaps Buckingham's death led Hayman to lose all hope in this direction, and to turn his mind to a fresh attempt

in Guiana. My attention was drawn to the

paper by a reference in Prowse's ' History .of Newfoundland.' G. C. MOORE SMITH.
