Would some kind person look up James Lewis Hayes/Hays in the 1880 census? He should be in Braxton County, but might be in Clay County. His wife's name was Bashaba but the spelling on that varies. They would probably have 3 or 4 children listed with them. Also, if possible could you look to see if he is on the 1870 census for Braxton County? They were married in June of 1870 so they may have been missed in the census. Any help is greatly appreciated. Lois Hayes
