Early family history
According to the genealogist Josef Pilnacek, Johann Hayek settled in Prague's old town in 1397, practiced a trade and bought a house. His descendants, known as well-fortified citizens, stayed there until Valentin's son, Mathias Hagecius, moved to Hungarian Brod (Uherský Brod) . The Hajek family made their home in that town. His daughter Dorothea got married there in 1637. Daniel Hayek was first a school teacher, then rector, 1639 councilor, 1640–1643 primatorand 1644 judges. The son of Wenzel Hayek, who died before 1658, grandson of Mathias, Thomas (* 1627 in Hungarian Brod; † November 8, 1704 ibid), owner of house no. 202 behind the parish church, was councilor from 1683 and judge 1692–1696. Several children came from his marriage to Katharina Ostrovsky. Paul (* before 1660 in Hungarian Brod; † December 24, 1732 ibid), a son of Thomas, earned great merits in defending his hometown several times, including 1704. By marrying Anna Hrabovski (1685), he acquired considerable property and the house no. 120. He was the agent of Count Dominik von Kaunitz , then Primator (1699–1705). Out of gratitude, the citizens placed a tombstone for him in the church, which was on display in the city museum.
