Hezekiah Haynes (died 1693) supported the parliamentary cause during the English Civil War rising to the rank of major.
During the Interregnum, under the patronage of his war time commander General Charles Fleetwood, he held a number of administrative posts under the early Commonwealth and Protectorate.
He supported his old general during the late Commonwealth, and after spending 18 months in prison during the first couple of years of the Restoration, he retired to the family estate of Copford Hall in Essex.
In December, shortly before the Restoration, the Rump Parliament ordered him to leave London and return home, but he chose not to.
[1] Haynes passed the family seat of Copford Hall over to his son in 1684, and moved to Coggeshall where he died in 1693.
