• Documents » Slide Show		Families of Cabarrus County, North Carolina RESEARCH DOCUMENT USED IN TRYING TO LOCATE WILLIAM M HAYES SR'S FATHER. Families of Cabarrus County, North Carolina 1792-1815, page 69. This page has highlighted in blue "North Carolina" and several references to "Hays" and "Patrick Hays". It mentions Patrick Hayes moving to Warren County, Tennessee before 1808 and other references to areas of my research. The HAYES are connected to our family and a Hayes married Archibald Hugh Hennessee and is buried a Pecan Cemetery in Oklahoma with our family. I will have to do further research on this. I found a deed from about this time where the part filled out by the court or writer spelled the name Patrick HAYS, however it is signed by William and Frances HAYES. This must have been a comon mistake back then.
  		Mecklenburg County, North Carolina Deed Book, page 68 RESEARCH DOCUMENT USED IN TRYING TO LOCATE WILLIAM M HAYES SR'S FATHER. This is a deed between Patrick and William HAYS but is signed by William and Frances HAYES. This must have been a comon mistake back then.
  		Residence of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina 1762-1790, page 152 RESEARCH DOCUMENT USED IN TRYING TO LOCATE WILLIAM M HAYES SR'S FATHER. This book list many HAYS that were living in this county but all of the documents are actually signed HAYES. This must have been a comon mistake back then.

  
  

• Notes

  Although some online sources list Greenberry Hays as William's first child, this researcher has not been able to locate any proof for this information. I did locate a Greenberry Hays listed as the head of household in the 1830 Census in Warren County, Tennessee who was born between 1800 and 1810 and would be the same age as William's first children and there is a 9 year gap between the birth of William's first child to the birth of his second child. He has a wife on the census who would be the same age and a daughter under the age of 5 years old. It is possible this Greenberry Hays is William's son but he could also be a nephew. The name of "William's first wife is unknown", as stated by the Wiseman book. The name of "William's first wife is Lembia", as stated by The Hennessee Family book, however it is referenced by "Death Certificates - Warren and Van Buren Counties: 1914-1919", p. 120. She had her first child on 22 Sept 1802 and this death certificate would have made her at least 127 years old so I do not believe William's first wife is Lembia. Many other family trees show William's first wife to be mary "Polly" Heard born 2 Oct 1780 in Henry County, Virginia, marrying William on 26 Oct 1801 in Green County, Georgia and dying in Warren County, Tennessee. This information makes a great deal of sense for the following reasons: - There were Hayes family members born in Green County, Georgia. -Mary "Polly" is a name used in the family for every generation to today. -Their first child's birth lines up to be 9 months and 3 weeks after the marriage date. This researcher has not done any further research to try to locate the name of William's first wife. [1, 2]
