It has been a few years since I focused on George Hayes, but I checked my notes.You may already know the following.
George Hayes and Nancy Wilkens were married in 1808 in Muhlenberg County Kentucky.They arrived in Posey County 1815-18.George killed a man in a knife fight in 1920 and disappeared.George's estate was probated in 1835 and it shows he had five children: Henry, Anita, Betsy, Jesse and Patsy (Martha).I have a note that Mary Hayes was probably George's younger sister?I think the Wilkens were from Craven County North Carolina.I found Patsy (Hayes) McCullen in a 1880 census in Illinois.Patsy reported that her mother was born in Kentucky and her father in Tennessee.
I am particularly curious about the origins of George and Nancy.If you have any info, it would be much appreciated.
