Hello Richard
Although your message to which I am posting was in Dec 2001, I am hoping that you continue to monitor the Hays Message Board. My husbands' mother was a Hays. Her grt grandfather was Andrew McKinley Hays and I believe his father was a William Hays. This family came to Pike Co MO, from KY, possibly Logan Ky, as there is a paper concerning Andrew's ownership of a brick house in thatcounty. Besides his son, William, born in KY in 1830, with Andrew McK.Hays there was another William, who could have been either a brother or father, who came to Pike Co MO.. He (William) then bought a lot of land in Pike Co, MO. The elder William had a wife named Catherine, but it seems that since they had three young children and Andrew McKinley possibly had other adult siblings ( There were others mentioned in some and dealings), that this Catherine was a 2nd wife. I would be most happy to hear about your line and any children of the William and Catherine McKinley Hays of your line. I have been searching for a Wm Hays and a McKinley marriage for sometime and hope that yours is the one.. Thanks for any reply. Marilyn H Moore. [email protected]
