I have a Jesse Joiner Hays, Gibson Co TN B1822 D1901. His Gfather was from NC where the spelling was Hayes. It seems alot of Hayes came to NC from the old country so you might check Hayes and Hays in NC. ----- Original Message ----- From: LN4com@aol.com To: HAYS-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, July 11, 2004 11:29 AM Subject: [HAYS] jesse hays This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: hays, hayes, armstrong Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Xih.2ACEB/1549 Message Board Post: Jesse Hays died in Greene County TN in 1884. Does anyone have any information on his origins, am unable to find any birth records or family, though he claimed to have been from Tennessee. After his death, his wife Louiza and living daughters seemed to disappear from the county. Can anyone help me with this puzzle?
