Hayes Part 2 - Smithwick

The first owner of land that later became part of what is now known as Hayes plantation was Edward Smithwick, who obtained a Proprietary land grant dated January 1, 1694 for three hundred and eighty acres of land there. However, Smithwick is probably best known today for the fact that at the first vestry meeting of St. Paul’s Parish held on December 12, 1701, he offered an acre of land out of this tract as the site for the parish’s first church or chapel.
