The Life and Romances of Mrs. Eliza Haywood by George Frisbie Whicher
page 29 of 250 (11%)
The London Parish Registers contain no mention of an Eliza Fowler in
1693, but on 21 January, 1689, O.S., "Elizabeth dau. of Robert ffowler
[Transcriber's note: sic] & Elizabeth his wife" was christened at St.
Peter's, Cornhill. Later entries show that Robert was a hosier to his
trade. Possibly in suppressing the other particulars of her life, Mrs.
Haywood may have consigned to oblivion a year or two of her age, but in
her numerous writings I have not found any allusion that could lead to her
positive identification with the daughter of Robert Fowler.

He was the author of _An Examination of Dr. Clarke's Scripture-Doctrine
of the Trinity, with a Confutation of it_ (1719). The work is a
paragraph by paragraph refutation from the authority of scripture of the
_Scripture Doctrine of the Trinity_ (1712) by the metaphysical Dr.
Samuel Clarke, whose unorthodox views prevented Queen Caroline from
making him Archbishop of Canterbury. The Reverend Mr. Haywood was upon
safe ground in attacking a book already condemned in Convocation.

"Whereas Elizabeth Haywood, Wife of the Reverend Mr. Valentine Haywood,
eloped from him her Husband on Saturday the 26th of November last past,
and went away without his Knowledge and Consent: This is to give Notice
to all Persons in general, That if any one shall trust her either with
Money or Goods, or if she shall contract Debts of any kind whatsoever,
the said Mr. Haywood will not pay the same."
