I am trying to piece together a puzzle in my family. My g.g. grandfather, William Henry Hayes, said he was born in Ouachita County near Camden, Arkansas, on his Confederate pension application, but there is no listing of parents or siblings. He had to get the testimony of a Warren Livingston, who grew up with him in the county to help prove he had served in the army since they couldn't locate his name. After the war he moved to Navarro County, Texas, and so did Warren Livingston. I found on the 1850 census for Liberty Twnship in Ouachita County the William Hayes family with a son, William H. age 5, which would be correct for my g. g. grandfather, and then there was the Alexander Livingston family with a son Warren, age 4. I think this could possibly be them, but I am looking for some more evidence. Any help would be appreciated.
