I received an email from cousin JBH (1024th, 10 generations removed) and subsequently he sent me a copy of his tree going back to Patrick Hays of Derry, Dauphin County PA. Both he and I have had the Big-Y test done at Family Tree DNA and at 10 generations have about an 80% chance of a common ancestor which I believe to be the father (?1) or grandfather (?0) of Patrick Hays of Derry, PA which is a direct ancestor of JBH. While not in my direct line I copy 5 generations of it below as he has written it as it may contain information useful to another. My comments are in italics, underlined numbers refer to that persons number in bold when listed as a parent. The number in the name is the generation removed from Patrick Hays (PA). I left off generations 6 to 8 assuming that information is readily available but you can email me with any questions you have on them and I’ll get back to you.

2. PATRICK HAYS 2 (?1) was born 1705 in Donegal Ireland, and died January 31, 1790 in Derry Two., Dauphin Co., PA. He married JEAN MCKNIGHT, daughter of Alexander McKnight and Jean.
Notes-Patrick was thought to have come from Ireland in 1728 with his brothers (Consistent with the Biographical Encyclopedia) , although their names are quoted differently in a few sources. Most say Hugh, James, and William. Others change James with David. It has been postulated they came from Fannet Parish, Donegal County, Ireland (a Presbyterian parish located near Derry (Londonderry). He was known to own land on on the Beverly Manor in Augusta Co., VA which he deeded to sons William and Samuel in May 1750. He is buried in Old Derry Graveyard (now Hershey, PA). On 10 Jan 1737 he was warrantee to 300 acres and owned 600 acres in Derry Township, PA. Also of note a Patrick Hays was known to own land in Lincoln Co., KY in the 1780’s. On 28 Sep 1786 a James, Hugh (son of Patrick Sr.?) and Patrick sign a petition to make Logan’s Station a town (Stanford), KY.
Augusta County Deed Book #23-page 123 – 19th Oct 1779. Patrick Hays, brother of Hugh Hays, deceased, late of Lancaster Co., PA to James Buchanan, all his interest in estate of Hugh, deceased, in PA, or his daughter Margaret (deceased?).
Augusta County Deed Book #23-Page 124- 19th Oct 1779. Hugh Hays, of Augusta, son of Patrick Hays and nephew of Hugh Hays, late of Lancaster Co., PA deceased to James Buchanan. Similar as above.
(These two deed entries somehow link the Augusta/Rockbridge Co. VA Hayses (ie John Coffee Hays) to Patrick of PA. (for my discussion on the relations of Patrick (PA), John (VA), and Patrick (VA) click on this link)
Jean McKnight’s father came to Lancaster County by 1722, landed at New Castle, Delaware from Scotland. An Elder in Donegal Presbytery in 1734. Buried with wife in Old Donegal Churchyard.

Generation No. 3
3. SAMUEL 3 HAYS, SR. (PATRICK 2, ?1) was born 1741 in Dauphin Co., PA and died 1805 in Bowling Green, KY. He married ELIZABETH BRADFORD.
Notes-Samuel Hays (1734-1805) was born in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania to Patrick Hays and Jean McKnight. He married Elizabeth Bradford before 1765 in Augusta County, Virginia, and they late moved to Warren County, Kentucky. Ancestry, descendants and relatives lived in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Texas, and elsewhere.
JSH advised by email and I post here for review: I have always rejected the notion that Elizabeth Bradford is the wife of OUR Samuel Hays. Re; Elizabeth Braford/Bradford w/o Samuel Hays. From the Chalkley’s Chronicles, Vol. III, p.183-4: 12-17-1787 Samuel Braford’s will – Wife; Ann. Daughters; Mary Braford (unmarried), Ann, Rachel and Elizabeth. Sons: John, James, Hugh and Samuel. Grandson; Samuel Hays, son of dau. Elizabeth, infant. If he should die an infant then legacy goes to sister Elizabeth Christian. Executor: Patrick Christian, son-in-law of Augusta Co. & Samuel Miller, son-in-law of Rockingham Co. Teste: Wm. Shields, Samuel Hunter, Peter Frazer Proved: 21 April 1789 Administration: John & James Bransford. Chalkley’s Chronicles, Vol. III, p.186: 4-28-1790 Samuel Brauford’s estate appraised by John Sterling, James Shields and Samuel Hays.
JSH Note: By 1780 Samuel & Elizabeth Hays were well established in Rutherford Co., NC. According to William Hays’ statement in his pension application his family moved to Rutherford Co., NC after their house burned in Augusta Co., VA while he was still a boy. It is doubtful that if Samuel Hays had married Elizabeth Bradford and moved to Rutherford Co., NC that he would have been appraising the estate of his father-in-law in Virginia some 10 years later. To be an appraiser of an estate you must be a resident of that county in which the estate lies. The will also infers that Elizabeth (Bradford) Hays has only one child, Samuel, by an unknown Hays and is now married to Patrick Christian by whom she has one daughter, Elizabeth. The Samuel Hays listed as an appraiser is probably a brother of her now deceased husband. In fact, I feel this proves that our Elizabeth is not the daughter of Samuel Bradford. What do you think?
Recorded information from Joseph Hays: This narrative begins with Samuel Hays, son of Patrick Hays and Jean McKnight Hays, a Scottish-Irish pioneer, of the Shenandoah Valley region. Little is know about Samuel except that he married Elizabeth Bradford and raised his family in Augusta County, Virginia.
From the Augusta records we find a Samuel Hays in 1753 with 100 acres on the James River in the Borden Tract. In 1763, Samuel and his wife Elizabeth sold this land to William Thompson and moved onto 215 acres in the Beverly Manor that belonged to his father Patrick Hays of Derry Two., Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. In 1769 Patrick deeded this land to Samuel and the remaining 259 acres of a 474 acre patent to Samuels brother William Hays (Chalkley, Vol. 3, pages 316, 368, 416, 488).
It is known that Samuel by 1779 had moved to Rutherford County, North Carolina, after their homestead burned in Virginia. Samuel remained here until 1798 when he and his family moved to Warren County, Kentucky. Only three of his children are known: James, William, Samuel, Jr.
Samuel Hays, Sr., died in 1805 by witness the proven will of his in the Warren County Courthouse. He is thought to be buried in the graveyard on his son’s Williams place now on the North side on the Barren River at Ben Thompson Ford (Hays Ford).

Notes-Soon after his marriage to Jean Taylor – a direct line from both the house of Scots and the Crown of England, he moved with Samuel to near present day Staunton, Augusta Co., VA. He lived there until 1777 when he moved to Franklin County (then Cumberland), PA just 15 miles from the maryland border. he lived on 200 acres near Peters Township just a few miles northwest of Mercersburg. His farm adjoined President James Buchanan. He enlisted in the Colonial Army under Capt. Wm. Huston, Cumberland Co. This later became the 6th and 11th Battalions under Archibald McAlister, a relative by marriage. His wife was the mid-wife of the area and on 23 April 1791 she brought into this world the 15th President of the U.S., James Buchanan. He died with his wife during the Cholera Epidemic of Franklin County. They are buried in the Church Hill Cemetery 2.5 miles east of Mercersburg. James Buchanan, the father of the President, wrote William’s will.

Generation No. 4
7. JAMES HAYS (Samual 3, Patrick 2, ?1) was born 1758 in Augusta Co., VA and died 1830 in Montgomery Co., Missouri. He married (1) REBECCA HENDRICK May 10, 1784 in Lincoln, KY, daughter of John Hendrick and Elizabeth. He married (2) SARAH KNOWLES SMITH 1820.
Notes-James Hays, son of Samuel Hays, Sr. was born in Augusta County, Virginia,, Date unknown. Here he lived until the family moved to Rutherford County, North Carolina. James moved to Davidson County, Tennessee (now Sumner County) by 1783 where he ended a land preemption right of 640 acres on the East Fork of Station Camp Creek. Oddly enough this is just across the Cumberland River from Col. Robert Hays, Harmon Hays, and by 1804-The Hermitage. James appears on the 1790 census for Lincoln County, KY. 1800 list a James, Hugh, John, and William on the Lincoln County tax list and James on the Warren County, KY tax list. James also appears on the 1820 census for Warren County and in 1830 on the Montgomery Co., Missouri along with a John and Samuel in the Upper Loutre Township.
May 10, 1784 James married Rebecca Hendrick in Lincoln County, KY (this county includes lands just north of the Tennessee state line and south of the Green River). There is little doubt that this is the same James Hays that is mentioned by General William Hall in his eyewitness account of the attack on Greenfield Fort in Sumner County, Tennessee, on April 28, 1793 by 260 Indians. General Hall relates, “I told (Wm) Neely, who with Hays and joined us, to take a chance at his (Indian)…, He mounted the fence and deliberately looking about him, Hays, who was read for him, took cool aim, and shooting him through the armpits, he fell over backwards upon a hill of corn, quite dead, the blood spurting out a foot on each side of him… .” James Hays was cited to Secretary Daniel Smith as “a young man (who) behaved with great bravery for which he deserves th notice of his countrymen.”
James had 6 children born in Tennessee before moving to Warren County, Kentucky, by 1798. This year, 1798, was the arrival date of James’ father and brothers from North Carolina. James was the father of ten children, 7 boys and 3 girls by his wife Rebecca before she died sometime after 1810.
James remarried in 1820 to Mrs. Sarah (Knowles) Smith and in 1830 they along with five of their children and their respective families moved to Montgomery County, Missouri. Some of his children returned to Kentucky, but James and his wife Sarah no doubt died and were buried in Missouri.
Either his or his fathers prayer book containing all the family information was last seen with Marshall Hays. Marshall’s daughter, Bitsy Gross, does not recall finding it after Marshall’s death.

Notes-Daniel Hays was a very wealthy man who owned over 3000 acres on the Barren River and over 30 slaves at his death. Unfortunately the loss of his slaves and the robbery told below left his widow without much except land.
Court cases prove that after Daniels death a group of masked robbers robbed the family homestead out on Hays Crossing (Ben Thompson’s Ford) south of Bowling Green on the Barren River. Ten’s of thousands were taken (a great sum in the 1860’s) from the widow, however the clever Hayses hid a great sum under the baby and told the robbers the baby had the measles. The robbers were brought to trial and acquitted because nobody could see their faces, although people knew who did it. Afterward the Hays shot up the robbers house and were brought to trial and acquitted also.
