* This surname was most anciently written Hauwrye, for Hauwrthe or Hauoorthe, the letter w for oo, as in the name Glandwr, and the letter y for th, as usual; and thus as a monosyllable the name of the hamlet is vulgarly pronounced at present. This attestor, Henry, son and heir of William de Haworth, was born before the 16th of Henry III., and he occurs in twenty-four ancient deeds without date. William, son and heir of Henry de Haworth, was aged 50, 28 Edward I. — Lane. MSS. vol. i. p. 107 ; Howarth Evid.
