George Hayward, aged 21, was a member of William Menezes party aboard HM Storeship Weymouth in 1820. He was at that time a labourer. His wife Mary Sweetnam was 17. Also aboard were his brothers James Hayward aged 25, a smith, and his wife Mary Skinner, 24, and William Hayward aged 22, a butcher, all former sailors in the Royal Navy. Half of George's deposit for the Weymouth was paid by his father-in-law Thomas Sweetnam and the other half by the Parish of Walmer, nr. Deal, Kent. The Hayward brothers, with the rest of Menezes' party, settled first at Albany, Rietfontein and then finally at the Kariega River. {source - Penny Graham }

George Hayward, 21 years of age with 17 year old bride Mary (née Sweetman), labourer and brother of above. George and his family left the frontier and moved to George Town. They later moved to Graham’s Town where he became a storekeeper. In 1833 George was declared insolvent. George and Mary had eight children. (All three brothers became insolvent at different times which is an indication of how difficult early life in the Colony was.) This family moved to the Orange Free State in 1838 and settled there. In about 1845 George and Mary were divorced. Mary married a Shaw and returned to Scotland. George married Anna Maria Ströh (born Maartens). George died on the farm Strangers Rest, in the Aliwal North district, in 1863. { David Raymer }
