Hello All, I have recently found the name of a person I may be related to on a 1796 Flax growers list in County Tyrone. His name is William Hays. He was born in Ireland in about 1776. He married and had a son David who was born in about 1797. I believe William and David Hays left Ireland in about 1817 or 1818. In America they lived in Clifton Park in Saratoga County, NY. They are both listed in the 1820 Federal Census. They were also members of the Baptist church. David, is described as an Irish linen weaver in the family history of the family one of his daughter's married into. The family moved to Broadalbin, Fulton County, NY in about 1842. The 1845 NY State census indicates that he made 60 yards of linen cloth during that year. William and possibly other family members remained in Saratoga County. Richard Hayes [email protected]
