LDS lists parents as William & Abigail Hays - with no source. Cemetery listing for wife, Elizabeth, gives a middle initial of M. (no burial info for Samuel, do not know when or where he died. She is buried in Dixon Chapel E.U.B. (Methodist) cemetery.) Samuel m 9 Aug 1832 to Elizabeth Gray (b 27 Apr 1799 d 11 Nov 1867) Known children are: Catherine Clemmons Hays b 22 June 1833 m George Pickering Mary Ann Hays b 13 Aug 1835 m Andrew J.Brumley Elizabeth Hays b 15 Mar 1837 d 10 Feb 1845 Robert C.G. Hays b ca 1839 (he may have gone to Texas no real proof as yet.) He was executor of mother's will in 1867. Other than marriage, Census records are only sources I have found showing Samuel's existence; he is listed in 1850 and 1860. The 1830 Census shows a Samuel with a wife and 2 children. There is also a marriage record in 1826 for a Samuel and Nancy McMackin. This could be the 1830 Family. However, if this is the same Samuel, what happened to the first wife and children?? He didn't m Elizabeth until 1832 and there does not appear to be any children that were not born to them! Hoping someone out there knows something about this elusive ancestor of mine. Terry
