I did a little research before posting some additional information on the Hayes/Hays family and the Jonathan Hayes tombstone that we found on Sunday. According to the marriage license for the Jonathan Hayes (Civil War Soldier) in Wise County, VA he married on August 18, 1859 in Wise County. He listed his father's name as John Hayes. On the 1860 Wise County, Va census, I found the following: #362 Hay, John, born 1793 and wife Senah #366 Hays, Jonathan, born 1838, wife Malvina #369 Hayes, John, born 1817 These three families live in the exact area of the tombstone for Jonathan Hayes. From Jonathan (Civil War) marriage license we know he must the son of the John in household 369. Also in household 369 is James Hayes who also served in the Civil War. The John born 1793 is most probably not the Jonathan born 1777 as there is too wide a span in the years. Could the Jonathan, born 1777 be a brother of the John, born 1793? Any ideas? Rhonda
I have a John Hays who married Elizabeth Anderson, Floyd Co., Ky, 10 Mar 1816. Any possible connection. Trying to determine parents of Elizabeth.
