C C HAYS: MISSOURI>JACK CO., TX>PARKER CO., TX
I am looking for any information on the Missouri family and origins of C C HAYS, b. abt. 1836 in Missouri with a father from North Carolina and a mother from Kentucky. In 1860 the 24 yr. old C C and his 20 yr. old wife Rachel from Arkansas were "stockraisers" in wild and wooly Jack County, TX with sons William M. (1858) and James (1860).I can't find them in 1870, but by 1880 they were "farming" in Parker County, TX with daughters Francis (1864), Mary (1868) and Emma (1874).If anyone has any idea as to what Missouri Hays branch C C belongs I would greatly appreciate an e-mail.I have not been able to locate the 14 yr. old C C in either the Texas, Missouri or Arkansas 1850 Census.
