Your message about Patrick Hays intrigues me.Patrick Hayes may have been my wife's ggg grandfather. In my research for the parents of Rebekah Hayes (b:1807/08 d:2 Jul 1891) of Maitland, Nova Scotia who married Nicholas Macomber I received information that her parents were Patrick Hays (b 1780 in Northern Ireland) and Elizabeth Burrows or Burris (b 1784).According to my source this was Patrick Hays second marriage.They did not share the name of the first wife; however, they did say that she died shortly after they emigrated to Nova Scotia from the United States; and most importantly for you Patrick and his first wife had a son Samuel.
Samuel was also my wife's ggg grandfather through paternal grandmother.Samuel's daughter Mary Jane married William Dawson Lawrence a ship builder in Maitland.
Does any of this connect with your research?
