Could your family be related to the William C. Hays born in SC in 1806 (father William, mother might be Mary Allison)? He and several brothers moved to Tennessee and Alabama, then William C. went to Texas and fought at the battle of San Jacinto in 1836.The family settled in Rusk County, TX. William C. had 10 brothers and one sister:Lettie Ann, Tom, Dobbin, George, and the remainder unknown.No documentation that the "C" was for Cunningham, but every generation afterward has had at least one son named Cunningham (William C.'s own son born in 1833 was named Cunningham Smith Hays).Any info you have would be greatly appreciated. - - - Bill Hays, Savannah, GA
