HAYS, HAYES settling White County , ILL.
I understand that the HAYS clan was instrumental in settling the White Cty, IL area back in the 1800's or sooner.
My gr'pa, Jesse B. HAYES was b.in Carmi in 1880.His dad was Valentine (Volney) HAYES, and his ma was MelvinaFORTUNE.
Does anyone have info on any HAYS, HAYES from the Carmi area back in the 1800'?They eventually moved back to Spencer/Warrick Ctys, IN, and then onto McLean Cty, KY (Calhoun and Rumsey, on the Green River) prior to 1910.
In Spencer/Warrick Ctys, they got tangled up with the MOOREs, FORTUNEs, BAKERs, POLKs, BOONEs, SETTLES', and a few more.Earlier, in the 1790's and 1800's, in Henry Cty, KY, they got tangled up with the CLUBBs, COCKRELLS, WAINSCOTTs.
Does anyone have anything on these lines from that time????
Please respond.
Appreciate it much.
