Did My Greenfields Come From Hayes
A Memory of Hayes.
For about 2 years around 1815 John Greenfield aged about 16, before he was married was a hired hand for a farmer In Hayes called Tom or Thomas Smith.
Later John Greenfield and his wife Sarah lived in Hayes, near West Wickham, in 1826 with their son John aged 4, after married at Croydon Surrey nearby. John died in 1828 aged about 30, so he would have been born about 1800.
A 1834 will of a another John Greenfield who died in 1834 at Horne in surrey mentions his grandson John who in 1834 was under 21. This could be John of Hayes's son John who would have been about 20 and without a father.
John of Hayes's wife Sarah's birth name may have been Shepherd.
John's aunt Sarah Greenfield married a John Clements or Clemments and resided in Addington near Croydon in 1841.
More information on how John Greenfield's family got to Hayes before 1826, and what happened to them after 1828 will help me put this family together.
