Melvin,I am helping an elderly friend trace her Hasson/Kays/Ray families. We show that a Robert Hasson was born January 25,1820 in Hubbard,Trumbull Co.,Ohio . He married Lazima Ray February 12, 1846. They went first to Jo Daviess Co.Ill in Spring of 1846 and then to Galena,Ill.They moved to Elk Point,Union Co.,Dakota Territory in 1879.A bible shown to my friend years ago states: "To my grandsonRobert Hasson Jr. from your grandmotherLettice Kays Hasson". Robert Hassonb. 1820 shows his father being born in Ireland and mother in NJ on the 1880 Dakota Territory census. We think Lettice Kays' father was David Kays from Newton,Sussex Co,NJ. The bible record has us puzzled as we can't find any records for a Robert Hasson Sr. in New Jersey. This is all we know presently. Marian
