Leander Hays is mentioned as if related to us in family papers of a cousin who died in the 1980's. I find a Leander Hays and wife Susan in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama in the censuses for 1850 (District No. 1, p. 176) and 1860 (Beat 12 McMath, p. 141/579a). There is also a Leander Hays in Tuscaloosa Co. in 1840, but the ages don't match. Susan and Leander's son, Pleasant G. F. Hays, appears in the 1870 Tuscaloosa County census (Precinct 14 Kennedale, p. 5/338a). I would like to find out who Leander's father was, or any siblings or other ancestors.
