Same book p.21 "The inelegant "spit box" was probably a cuspidor, but
what was the "night hawk" mentioned in the early-nineteenth-century ledger
of Thomas HAYWARD of Woodstock, Connecticut?..."

INTRODUCTION
HAYWOOD. Etta's original version was that John came to NorthAmerica but
not at the same time as Mark #1. It is not known if they saw one another in
North America. Alice has another version: that Mark & John were orphans who
were sent to Canada, many of these children were "child labourers".
During the Civil War in United States 1861-1865, "Canada" was but one of
several British Colonies, called provinces, to the north of the United
States. "Canada" correctly used, applied only to the present-day provinces
of Ontario & Quebec. The result of the Civil War was that two nations
emerged; for not only was the Union preserved, but the Confederation of
Canada was hastened.
When it is said that Mark's brother fought on the side of the British,
just what does this mean? Also, Mark#1 was born c1818 & died 1888, so in
1865 he would be 70 years old. Is it possibly that "John" William HAYWOOD
was a brother of Mark #2 & not Mark #1?
Quote from James I. Robertson's "Concise Illustrated History of the Civil
War":- "Sherman gave his men a month's rest at Savannah before resuming his
surgery of the South. The sultant "March Through the Carolinas" was like a
"devouring flame" to a Confederacy already near death. On February 1,1865,
60,000 battle-hardened bluecoats again abandoned their supply lines &
slashed into South Carolina. Sherman was content to leave the remaining
Confederate coastal fortresses to Union naval & amphibious forces, which
captured Fort Fisher that month & thereby closed the last major Confederate
access to the sea.
"The Confederacy's last Atlantic opening was Wilmington, situated several
miles up the Cape Fear River. Powerful Fort Fisher, guarding the river's
junction with the sea, was the key to Wilmington itself. Confederates inside
the fort repulsed a December 1864 land & sea assault by forces under General
Benjamin F. Butler & Admiral David D. Porter. The following month, Porter's
fleet & 8,000 Federal infantrymen under Gen. Alfred H. Terry silenced the
guns of Fort Fisher & overran the works. The fall of Wilmington ended
Confederate blockade-running."
In April, 1984, Mabelle HAYWOOD-SPARKES told Etta that they noticed the
name HAYWOOD is seen frequently in the Carolinas, between Charlotte & Smokey
National Park before Maggie Valley near Indian Village of Chawhee "HAYWOOD
County" & various other places & name HAYWOOD in this area. Possibly he did
have a family there & descendants.
On page 302 of "History of War of 1812" by G. Auckenleck:
"Attempts to blow up the Ramilies at Fisher Island (24 May 1814)..."
April, 1984, Len HAYWOOD says he understood Mark Jr.'s brother was killed
at Bunker Hill. When Etta asked Uncle Len if he meant Mark Sr.'s brother,
he wasn't sure.
