Charles William Hays is my 2nd greatgrandfather.His first wife, who is listed in the 1850 census, was Leah Gray, who died before 1865.I am descended through his second wife, Sarah (Sallie) Ruffin Wood.
Charles was the son of Henry H. Barney Hays, born abt. 1795-1798 in Maryland.Henry married Arabella Dupree and had six children.Henry died before 1838, after which Arabella married Thomas Nye and had Thomas Nye, age 8, who is listed in Charles' household along with his mother.The 14 yr. old Arabella listed is Charles' sister.
Henry H. Barney Hays was the son of Archer Hays, who was the son of John Hays, Sr.John Hays, Sr. was the son of John (the immigrant) Hays, who was born about 1680 in Ireland and settled in Maryland.
This Hays family is documented in Colonial Families of the United States of America.I also found information on the Archer Family Genealogy Website.
Hope this helps!
