The GD website has coded all the above entries (apart from those with a mrs or miss) to the person record of Richard Hayward (Godwin's solicitor of Tooke's Court) though the editorial notes suppose that all Hayward entries before 1813 were misspellings of (Samuel) Heywood. The first two entries above were probably another Richard Hayward, wax chandler of Friendly Place Shoreditch, member of London Corresponding Society who was arrested in the 1794 treason trials, as he was said to be a regular speaker at the Westminster Forum (can't presently check my source for this so it may have been Hayward of Carey St who spoke at the Forum). The mrs Hayward entry of 1799 can be identified by the letter (Abinger c15 f99r) from Francis Wrangham to Godwin which asked him to call on him at Hayward's 16 Carey St. Richard Hayward was listed as a grocer of 16 Carey St in Holden's 1790 directory, as Richard Hayward chandler of Carey St he had voted for Mountmorres & Mahon 1774, Fox & Rodney 1780 and Fox in 1784. He died 29.12.1796 and his widow Elizabeth (nee Frost who had married him, a widower, at St Marylbone only that September) took administration of his effects (LCC under £1000). Despite the same name and trade I don't think he was the chandler in the LCS. The rest of the Haywards above, including miss Hayward, were found in two contexts, association with William Nicholson, and in the company of artists. Since they cover the same period and are sometimes close together (notably on 2.5.1807 and 4.5.1807) they may well have been the same person (except for a probable relative miss Hayward). The artist can be identified as John Samuel Hayward, the son of a floor cloth manufacturer, who exhibited at the RA from 1798-1816. his will PCC 1822. That he was also a friend of Joshua Cristal identifies him firmly. He carried on the floor cloth business and didn't need to make money from his painting, and he could well have been a business partner of William Nicholson, which Springsguth's letter to Godwin of 1.7.1807 (Abinger c10 f43) suggests Hayward was rather than a lawyer some of whom (Fletcher, Heath & Sloper) the letter also mentioned. However it may be that the artist and Nicholson's associate were not the same person. It may also be that two of the entries coded in the GD website to Samuel Heywood were misspellings of Nicholson's Hayward - 19.7.1802 Haywoods at Nicholson's and 20.1.1805 Heywood at Nicholson's. Of Samuel Heywood's 5 entries from 1789 to 1799, four were associated with Thomas Brand Hollis, while the later ones, in 1807 at Curran's and at the theatre, and in 1809 at the RA exhibition, were more random and could also be misspellings, though I think it wiser to trust Godwin's sense of name spelling, once he found out how a name was spelt.
Richard William Hayward was certainly most of the Hayward entries from 1813 to 1824. He may have been the Richard William Hayward son of Richard & Ann bapt St Sepulchre 211.1.1781 (born 5.1.1781), as he was buried 6.5.1824 at St Andrew Holborn age 45 of Took's Court.. His will PCC 1824 was dated 6.4.1824 and made Francis Place DNB 1771-1854 one of his executors. He was articled to Tipping Thomas Rigby for 5 years on 6.1.1804 and transferred to Samuel Thomas Adams of Gt Russell St Bloomsbury on 3.2.1807. He married Hester Wilhelmina Paye on 13.6.1807 at Finsbury St Luke
