ELAM HAYS or HAYES, Connecticut, Vermont, War of 1812
Posted by: Margaret Graham (ID *****2677) Date: April 07, 2008 at 18:28:58

I found a reference to Elam Hays in Roster War 1812-14 which was in an appendix of a book "The King's Mountain Men" by Katherine White which is on HeritageQuest Online.

Elam Hays is my 4g-grandfather and I have very little information on him. This listing has a reference at the end that I would like to have someone tell me what it refers to and possibly where I can find it.

HAYS, ELAM
Born in Simsbury, Conn.; aged 35 years; 5 feet 11 inches high; dark complexion; dark hair; black eyes; by profession a cardwainer. Enlisted at Addison March 28 1814 for the period of the war and served in Capt. Wm. Miller's Company and Capt. Gideon Spencer's Company, 30th Regt. Ref: R. & L. 1812, AGO Pages 54, 55, 57.

Elam moved to Addison County Vermont and his son Harley Elam Hayes married a grand-niece of Gideon Spencer. The Hays/Hayes, Spencer and Day families were intermarried and moved from Vermont to Illinois in the early 1830's.

I would appreciate any leads on Elam Hays, he is very elusive and has been hard to document.
