I received an email from a Hays cousin which contained notes sent to him by EDH in 1997 and thought it might be useful to provide research direction for those trying to unscramble their Hays line. The notes run in chronological order with the source in brackets. I have highlighted most of the names to aid in searching for an individual but have added nor deleted any content.
I have notes of other Hays deed records to copy in Adair Co., Ky. :

F,355 Gabriel and Betsey Hays

In August 1752 Rebecca disposed of her property, no further record.His will dated 25 Dec 1750, proved 26 Feb 1750/51 (Will Book 1 page 291).They were probably born in Scotland, and were probably exiled for religious reasons and fled to Ireland before emigrating to the colonies. The children may have been born either in Scotland or in Ireland. They came from Ireland and landed in Philadelphia then moved south into Virginia.On 22 May 1740, John Hays appeared in Orange Court to prove his importation, proving his rights in order to obtain land. He purchased land at the point where Maxbett’s (Moffett’s) Creek joined Walker’s (Hays) Creek and set up a grist mill. The original was built around 1740 and was probably of the primitive type known as a tubmill, but he had a fulling mill by 1741. He was also a plantationer.
