His parents were John Haywood and Mary —. His siblings were: 1.Eliza Haywood, b. 7 Dec 1682 in Barbados; 2. John Haywood, b. 1685 (probably in Barbados), married Mary Lovett; 3. Mary Haywood, b. 12 Feb 1686, Barbados; 4. James Haywood, m. Charity Halsted. The birth dates of the sisters come from the christening records of St. Michael's Parish, Barbados. The family supposedly returned to England, and then in the 1720s, the three brothers—John, James, and Joseph returned to the Piscataway NJ area. John and Mary Lovett Haywood founded a colony of New Jersey settlers in Edgecombe County NC. This family is well documented. James and Charity Halsted Haywood were first in Morris County NJ, and later in Monmouth County NJ. Sources link John, James and Joseph as being brothers. Joseph Haywood had four known children: 1. Joseph Haywood m. Sarah Filer. He was a captain in the New Jersey Militia from Salem County NJ during the Revolution. They had one son: John Haywood 2. Zachariah Haywood 3. Joel Haywood 4. Isabella Haywood m. Hull FitzRandolph 26 Oct 1767 in Monmouth County NJ. They had the following children: James, Jediah, Frances, Mahala, and Ruben Randolph. This Ruben Randolph was born in Culpeper County VA, whereas the others were probably born in New Jersey. This would be logical, since Isabella's cousin, George Haywood, son of her father's brother James, was in Culpeper County from the late 1780s.
