I'm new at this but this may help you and me. I'm looking for my gr gr grandfathers name etc. My grandmother was Betty Jane Hayes (Hays) her father was John Hardin Hays who lived in N.C. He was born in Va. Moved with family to Wolf River area of Tenn when Young. Left home at young age when mother fell and died. came back to Va. Married Clarissa Clark 1851 in Person Co. Nc. and lived in Yadkin Surry and Wilks co. NC. most of life. Served in CSAinf. tombstone states born in 1813 but 1870 census states age 42. My grandmother was by 3rd wife Elizabeth "Betsy" Thomas Luffman.Clarissa and John's children were Alex, Buna, Penny, Otis, Lester, Fletcher, and Fred. Alex moved to Ar. in early 1870's Mt. Ida section Montgomery co. Served 27 yrs. justice of peace. some family members think Johns's fathers name was Hugh???It's quite interesting that when you look at all the names of the Hays you find names repeated in each familydown thru generations.John also had a Brady who was my grmothers brother.Hope this helps. Any little lightyou can shine on this tangle would be appreciated.
by the way Alex and ancestors never added e to Hays.but N.C. group did.Email address is mtowberman @yahoo.com. Thanks
