Family Notes:
The first 7 children were born to John and Harriet Hays. Caroline Hays may have been born to Hays’ second wife Rachal. In the 1870 census, the name Joseph Hays appears in the family unit for John Hays and also for Priscilla Wathen. In both cases, he is about 21 years old. One of these men is the son of Louis Hays but it’s impossible to distinguish between the two without some other corroborating record.
Limited information concerning two of John Hays’ daughters, Rachel and Caroline.
