In the 1850s, there was a Matthew Hayde at Derryvella and Judith Hayde at Gorteen Lower.
These families may have descended from James Heade who was at Poynstown in 1666 or from other families in the area. Descendants are:

There was no sign in the Catholic parish records of Matthew.

Judith was prob at Gorteen Lower in 1850, which probably means that James died before then. She was there until the 1860s when they emigrated to America. They are covered in more detail in the Chicago Family Posts and are known as Tree # 14.
