estates was lately found a signet ring of one of the family, exhibiting in the rebus--'by-goat'--a new variety of the name; (see engraving) [Illustration: Signet ring].] [Footnote 40: HAIE-DU-PUITS, arrondissement of Coutances; near the abbey of Lessay, which was founded by Richard, commonly called Turstain Haldup, Halduc, or Haralduc, head of the family before the conquest; see pedigree in Wiffen's _History of Russell_. Turstain's son Eudo cum capello, or Eudo dapifer (though not the Eudo dapifer of _Domesday_) was, as we have seen above, page 102, called into counsel by William. We know not whether it was Eudo, or, as seems more probable, either Ralf de Haiâ, seneschal of the count of Mortain, or Ralf's son Robert, who was at the conquest. The latter, as lord of Halnac in Sussex, founded Boxgrave; and had three children,--Cecily, who is stated in the genealogy in _Dugdale_ to have married Roger Saint-Jean, and two sons, Richard and Ralf. Richard was taken by pirates, and his estates went to daughters. Ralf married a daughter of William de Albini, pincerna, and either by her or another wife left descendants. The notes to M. Pluquet's _Wace_ seem erroneous as to this family; as will be seen by the Lessay charters in _Dugdale, Gallia Christiana_, and _Neustria pia_; also by those of Blanchelande. A passage in one charter in _Gallia Christ._ thus supplies many particulars; 'Robertus de Haya, filius Radulfi, senescalli scilicet Roberti comitis Moritonii, nepos Hudonis, dapiferi Willelmi Regis.' There is, however, much obscurity hanging over the pedigree, which we have no space for discussing. In what precise way the Haies succeeded to Eudo cum capello is one of the principal difficulties. As to the remains of their castle, see M. de Gerville, _Recherches_, No. 41. In the Red book, 'Radus de Haia 2 mil. et dim. de honore de Plaiseis, et 1 mil. de honore de Mort. de feodo de Criensiis, et ad servit. suum 6 mil. et dim. in Constant.' The honor of Haye is afterwards mentioned as 'Honor de Haia de Puteo de com. Mort. i. mil. regi.'] [Footnote 41: See the last chapter, note 43.] [Footnote 42: ORIGNY. There are two of the name, one near Bellesme, the other near Mamers.] [Footnote 43: ROGER DE MOUBRAY, see note 2, page 157.] [Footnote 44: SAY, arrondissement of Argentan. The lords of Say took the name or surname of PICOT, by which, as in _Domesday_, they are often called without the Say. In the Red book, 'Alexander de Piccot 4 partem in Piccot,' In the Bayeux inquest is 'feodum Guillmi Picoth feodum 3 mil. in Culeyo, in Traceyo et Leon, et Franca-Villula supra Rothom. et Montberton,' Robert Picot de Say with his sons Robert and Henry, were benefactors in 1060 to the church of St. Martin de Say. Picot de Say is found as witness to a charter in 1080 between Jumieges and St. Maximin d'Orleans. See also the foundation charter of Shrewsbury in 1085. A.L.P.]
