To all you nice folks out there that responded to my request of a few days ago, (below), for "Hays & Travis" information. I was gone for a couple of days, and when I returned there were responses from several of you good folks, with some great information. Unfortunately, before I could answer any of your responses, my e-mail program locked up, and when I finally got it working again, my in-box folder was totally deleted. Computers are wonderful gadgets, but they can certainly be a headache sometimes. Anyway, if any of you that responded, still have the messages you sent, before 7-28-05, in your "sent items" folder, I would really like to have them again. If you don't want to post them to the Clinton county list again, you can send them to me directly at: Tomj02@sprynet.com (that's a zero2). One of you had mentioned that you had been to the Hays Cemetery, and that it was being destroyed by the cattle. I was wondering if you had exact directions to the cemetery, and if you might have any photos of the grave markers. It's a long way from Oklahoma City, but I have been thinking about making a trip over that way in the near future. Thanks to you all, Tom Johnson, Oklahoma City Is there anyone out there in Clinton county land that has information on the parents of Alexander Hays (Hay) or the parents of his wife Elizabeth "Travis" Hays? Alexander Hays was born in 1777 in Virginia. Elizabeth Travis was born in 1779, location unknown. They were married on Sep 24, 1799 in Green county, TN The both died on the same date, Dec 27, 1863, and are buried in Hays Cemetery, Clinton County, KY Does anyone have any information on the cause of their deaths? Alexander and Elizabeth are my ggg-grandparents through their daughter Emaline "Hays" Beaty (Beatty) who married James P. Beaty on Sept. 16, 1838 in Clinton Co. Also looking for info on the death and burial location of James P. Beaty who died on May 11, 1856. Any information on the Hays, Travis or Beatty (Beaty) families would be greatly appreciated. I have information on Beaty, Beatty, that moved from Clinton county, to Macoupin County, IL, then to Kansas and Oklahoma. I will be happy to share with anyone interested.
