This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Hays, Hayes, Ford, Price Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Xih.2ACEB/1570.1 Message Board Post: Your Hays (Hayes) were from Reaves Township and Kirby Twnshp of Marion County. I am a decendent of the Hays (Hayes) from Hillsboro Twnshp, Marion County and my Great (3) Grandfather was Jesse Hays. Unfortunatley, not the Hays you are researching. You should find them on the census records. I feel there may be a connection as my Hays tie into the same Moody line as well. My Jesse's daughter, Angeline married the great-grandson of "Old Tap", Robert M. Robbins. Hope this helps.
