I believe that Robert D. Hailey's parents were David Hailey who died in 1818 in Caswell County, North Carolina and his wife Lucy (Crow) Hailey who died between 1850 and 1860 probably in Smith County, Tennessee. Living two households away from R. D. Hailey in the 1860 census of Sumner County, Tennessee were Henry Stovall and his wife Lucy. Henry C. Stovall married Lucy Jane Haley in 1853 in Sumner County. Edward Hailey in his 1860 will filed in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky mentions Henry Stovall and wife Lucy Jane of Sumner County, Tennessee. He also mentions land in Smith County, Tennessee that had belonged to his mother Lucy Haley, deceased. In March 1850 Robert D. Hailey deeded land in Smith County, Tennessee to Lucy Hailey, William Hailey, and Thomas Haley. Thomas Hailey (my ancestor) was the brother of Edward Hailey and probably also the brother of Robert D. Hailey. He moved to Muhlenberg County, Kentucky about 1854 and three of his sons married Stovall girls there, one of which was Lucy Jane, widow of the Henry Stovall who was mentioned in Edward Hailey's will and who was living very near Robert D. Hailey in 1860. She therefore married her first cousin after being widowed and became a Hailey again. The Haileys lived in Key Hollow in Monoville, Smith County, and a neighbor of theirs, Logan D. Key, had come from Sumner County where he married Mary Stovall, and I think this may have been how the Smith County Haileys became acquaited with Sumner County. The Haileys (Lucy Hailey, her sons Thomas S. Hailey, Robert D. Hailey, Edward S. Hailey, and William S. Hailey and her daughters Martha Hailey and Mary? Hailey) moved from North Carolina to Tennessee about 1835. David Hailey's brother Sterling Hailey moved to Gibson County, Tennessee.
