Harmon Hays and Elizabeth Cage Hays:
Had 7 Children:
1) * John Hays ( Jack Hays Texas Ranger) 1817-1883
Jack Hays was born 28 January 1817 at Cedar Lick in Wilson County, Tennessee. By the age of fifteen he had moved to Mississippi and began to learn surveying. By mid-1836 Hays was in Texas where he joined a Ranger company under Erastus "Deaf" Smith. He took part in a skirmish with the Mexican Cavalry and assisted in the capture of Juan S?nchez. He was appointed deputy surveyor of the Bexar District. Hays combined his knowledge of Indian warfare with his rangering. John Coffee Hays helped to forge the legend of what a Texas Ranger was. Arriving in Texas in 1836 but just missing the famous battles of the Texas Revolution, nineteen-year-old Hays soon had Sam Houston urging him to join a new group of Rangers.
Jack Hays m. Susann Calvery 1847 Had 3 Daughters and 3 Sons
In 1840, Hays was appointed a captain of the Rangers. He proved himself to be a fearless fighter and a good leader of men. John Coffee Hays, known all his life as Jack, most of his adult life as Captain Jack, was born January 28th, 1817 in Little Cedar Lick, Tennessee. (Now is Nashville.) When he died on San Jacinto Day in 1883, he was one of the largest land-holders and wealthiest men in California. With his will, he gave much of his ranch to California. The Hays Ranch became the University of California at Berkeley. Yellow Fever took both of Jack?s parents in 1832. He and his siblings were parceled out among relatives. Jack and a younger brother and sister ended up with Uncle Robert Cage in Yazoo, Mississippi. And Jack was unhappy. He had to leave Nashville?s Davidson Academy, where he was the fastest runner and best horseman. Kindly old Uncle Robert wanted to make him a storekeeper. Note: "John C. Hays, known in Texas as Jack Hays, was born at Little Cedar Lick, Wilson County, Tennessee, on January 28, 1817. He was from the same section of the country as the McCullochs, Sam Houston, and Andrew Jackson, and was the same adaptable sort of person. Jack's father, Harmon Hays, fought with Jackson and named his son for General John Coffee, one of Jackson's trusted officers. Hays came to Texas in 1837 or in the early part of 1838--then about 21 years of age--and took up his residence at San Antonio. Some accounts say that he joined the Texas Rangers and fought Indians and Mexicans under Deaf Smith and Henry W. Karnes

3) John Hays 1756 (John1, John2) The Hays Family of Breathitt County is one of the first groups of white people to ever settle in this section of Eastern Kentucky. Family tradition has it that William Hays ?? (2nd known generation), and his family from Rockbridge County, Virginia came to Eastern Kentucky in the year 1791. They settled on Holly Creek in that part of Madison County, Kentucky which later became Breathitt County (1839) and today is located in eastern Wolfe County. William was the Grandson of old John Hays ??(1st known generation) of Virginia who served in the Virginia Militia during the French and Indian War (1754-1763). His father was married to Nancy Jane Wood, the daughter of Lysander and Elias Wood of North Carolina.

Information on Nathaniel Hays and his neighbor to the south Samuel Hays and his neighbor to the north of Hugh Hays. Jackson ended up with the entire 640-acre preemption NC Land Grants of Nathaniel and Hugh Hays and a section of Samuel Hays' 640-ac preemption NC Land Grant
as well, where the Hermitage is now. His house, including the famous Hermitage Mansion, the Hermitage Church, and Andrew Jackson Donelson?s Tulip Grove Mansion, is all located on Nathaniel Hays' original land Grant. It has been determine through research and land deeds, that Hugh Hays was living in Greene County, TN when he sold his 640-acres land grant to William Donelson & Andrew Jackson in 1795-96. (They bought it for William's brother and Andrew' business partner Samuel Donelson--Rachel Jackson's Brother, to Move to so he could be closer to the family ?NOTE: The evidence proves that Andrew Jackson
Built the original log Hermitage "from scratch" in The summer of 1804, Nevertheless, it is proven by land deeds, that the Hays family owned the land that became the Hermitage is very important to my project and the story completion.

The Hays Family of Breathitt County is one of the first groups of white people to ever settle in this section of Eastern Kentucky. Family tradition has it that William Hays ?? (2nd known generation), and his family from Rockbridge County, Virginia came to Eastern Kentucky in the year 1791. They settled on Holly Creek in that part of Madison County, Kentucky which later became Breathitt County (1839) and today is located in eastern Wolfe County.

A few years later, about 1795, William moved with his family to the Snowden Branch area of Breathitt County near the mouth of Quicksand Creek. (The old Hays Cemetery on top of Snowden Branch Hill has hundreds of graves. Most have only field stones for tombstones. It is almost certain that William and most of his family are buried beneath the ground here. Many of the readable stones are marked with names of Hayses of long ago.)

William was the Grandson of old John Hays ??(1st known generation) of Virginia who served in the Virginia Militia during the French and Indian War (1754-1763). John was married to Jane Wood, the daughter of Lysander and Elias Wood of North Carolina.

William had a son, John ??(3rd known generation), named for his grandfather. John was born in Virginia in 1773 and died in 1839 in that part of Breathitt County that was then part of Estill County. (A John Hays is listed as a town trustee for Jackson when it was established in 1839.) He was twenty years old when he came to this area of Kentucky (Breathitt Co.). John married twice. His first wife was Nancy Wood of North Carolina. (Nancy died in 1840. Her tombstone may still be seen in the Hays Cemetery on top of Snowden Branch Hill, today called Howell Heights on the old Quicksand Road.) They, too, lived near the present-day community of Quicksand. Children from his first marriage included: (1) Adrian Hays, born in 1808 and later about 1855 moved to Missouri. He married Elizabeth Cockrell, daughter of John Cockrell and the second time to Millie Alley; (2) William Hays, born in 1812 and married Delila Robinson. William's old tomb stone marked Wm. CV Hase, died 1855 may still be seen atop Snowden Branch Hill in the old Hays Cemetery.; (3) Sarah or Sally Hays, born in 1815, married Wiley McQuinn; (4) Nicholas Hays, born in 1814, married Mary Allen, daughter of William Allen. Nicholas Hays owned the present site of Quicksand community when in 1839 it was first chosen to be the site of the soon to be established county seat of Jackson. However, because he did not have a clear deed to the land, the site for Jackson was moved three miles down stream to the present location. Had plans gone accordingly, Jackson would have been built on Hays land at Quicksand. (5) Phillip Hays, born in 1818, married twice. First to Nancy Stacy and secondly to Susan Miller, daughter of Georgia and Sidney Miller.

On January 8, 1820 John, at the age of 47, married for the second time. He wedded Ursula Haddix, born during 1801 in Russell County, Virginia and died in Breathitt County in 1882. Their wedding took place on January 8, 1820 in that part of Breathitt County that was then a part of Clay County. She was a daughter of Henley Haddix and Jane Tate. (Ursula's uncle John Haddix was the father of Nancy Haddix who married Joseph Little. Their daughter Prudence Little married John C. Hays, her distant cousin, he being Ursula's grandson.) John Haddix and Henley Haddix were the sons of old Samuel Haddix (1742-1816) of Prince William County, Virginia. Many think Samuel led the first permanent settlers into present-day Breathitt County in 1792.

The children of John and Ursula were: (1) Jane Hays, born in 1821, married Joshua Barnett, Jr.; (2) Sarah Hays (1822-1870), married John E. Wells of Clark County, Kentucky; (3) Nancy Hays (1823-1882), married David Barnett, a brother of Joshua Barnett, Jr.; (4) William Hays ??(4th known generation), born in 1825, married Polly Miller, daughter of Benjamin and Nancy (Holcomb) Miller. William is our direct decent, being the grandfather of Clarence Hays. (5) Adrian Hays, born in 1833 and died in Arkansas in 1863. Adrian married Delilah Fugate, daughter of Henley Fugate and Tabby McIntosh. (6) John Butter Hays (1833-1906), married twice, first to Sarah/Sally Miller, daughter of Ben & Nancy Miller, and second to Catherine McIntosh.

Thus, if records are correct, John had eleven children in all. Today his descendants number in the thousands and are scattered across the United States. Very few Hayses remain in Breathitt County.

William, the son of John, and his wife Polly Miller had nine children: (1) Elizabeth Hays born in 1851; (2) John Charles Hays ??(5th known generation), born in 1852, married Prudence Little; (3) Sarah Ellen Hays, born in 1855, married John C.B. Hays, son of Nick Hays; (4) George Martin Hays born in 1857 married Jane McPherson; (5) Nancy Hays, born in 1859, married Breckenridge Flinchum; (6) Henley Hays, born in 1862, no data available on him; (7) Anna Hays was born in 1868. She married John B. Flinchum, brother of Breckenridge and son of John J. Flinchum; (8) William Hays was born in 1869, no data available on him; and (9) Amanda Hays, born in 1870, no data available on her.

On August 29, 1876 John C. Hays, age 24, married Prudence Little, age 18, at the residence of Andrew Hays near the old homeplace on the Five Mile Road. Standing up for young John were Henry Gabbard and James Little. The couple was married by Rev. M.C. Taylor of the Methodist Church.

Family Informational Notes from Records in Rockbridge and Wilson Counties:
Note: John HAYS lived on Cedar Lick Creek in Wilson Co., TN very near to the Hermitage in Davidson
Co., TN. Mr. Dixon wrote that the Hermitage Area was complicated by the changes in county lines during
the pertinent periods of times: 1790, the Davidson & Sumner County area and HAYS COUNTRY was in
Sumner County; 1800, the Hermitage Area was in Davidson & Wilson Counties with HAYS COUNTRY
in Wilson County; 1810, the Hermitage Area was in Davidson & Wilson Counties and HAYS COUNTRY
was in Wilson & Smith Counties - Note: Historic Structures Report, the original log house was built by
John Hays ca.1804, on Nathaniel?s property. Andrew Jackson built the original building, home, now called
the Hermitage House and the LHA is going to complete a $1.4 million restoration for it in the next couple
of years. (Completion date of summer 2004, the 200th anniversary of the purchase of the Hermitage
Property from Nathaniel Hays) Note: Nathaniel Hays and his neighbor to the south, Samuel Hays and his
Neighbor to the north, Hugh Hays. Jackson ended up with the entire 640-acre preemption NC Land Grants
of Nathaniel and Hugh Hays and a section of Samuel Hays' 640-ac preemption NC Land Grant as well, where
the Hermitage is now. His houses, including the famous Hermitage Mansion, the Hermitage Church, and
Andrew Jackson Donelson's Tulip Grove Mansion, acres all located on Nathaniel Hays' Original land grant
. Note: Charles Hays ? (son of John Hays of VA), is in Davidson County in 1780, and back in Greene County by 1783,
where he marries Elizabeth Gillespie ca.1792. His son Charles Hays is born, in Greene Co. ca.1794 and daughter
Jane Hays soon thereafter. Note: Nathaniel is located in East TN until around 1802, but shows up in
Davidson County in 1803. He then settles temporarily at his land grant before selling it (in two sections) to
Thomas Taylor and Andrew Jackson in 1804. Note: Samuel Hays, who owned the land just south of Nathaniel,
was in Davidson County by 1780, built the fortified Hays Stations on Stoner's Creek ca.1782-83, and was killed by
the Creek Indians nearby in early 1793. His wife Elizabeth continued to reside at Hays Station until selling it in 1807
and then moved to neighboring Wilson County, TN. Her sons Campbell, Andrew, Hugh, and Charles grew up at
Hays Station, were wards of Andrew Jackson in the 1790s, and moved to Wilson County, TN before 1807 these sons
served under Jackson in the Creek Indian Wars of 1813-14 Note: "John C. Hays, known in Texas as Jack
Hays, was born at Little Cedar Lick, Wilson County, Tennessee, on January 28, 1817. He was from the
same section of the Country as the McCullochs, Sam Houston, and Andrew Jackson, and was the same
adaptable sort of person. It is said that Jackson purchased The Hermitage from Jack Hays's grandfather,
John Hays, who served with Jackson in some of his Indian Wars, and who built Fort Haysboro, but it is proven by
a land deed document, the land was purchased from John?s Grandson, Nathaniel Hays. Jack?s Father, Harmon Hays,
also fought with Jackson and named his son for General John Coffee, one of Jackson's trusted officers. Hays came to
Texas in 1837 or in the early part of 1838--then about 21 years of Age -and took up his residence at San Antonio.
Some accounts say that he joined the Texas Rangers and fought Indians and Mexicans under Deaf Smith and Henry
W. Karnes." Note: p. 34 - Nathaniel Williams Thompson HAYS charged with Gaming 27 Apr 1832 (p.201). p. 4 ?
Stockley L. HAYS charged Thomas G. Walker with trespass & assault & battery 1819 (p. 265). p. 26 -Harmon A.
HAYS among others, charged with gaming 1827 (pp. 167-168). Note: Fort Hays, originally named Fort Fletcher, was
a United States Army fort near Hays,Kansas. Active from 1865 to 1889, it was an important frontier post during
The American Indian Wars of the late 19th century. Reopened as a historical park in 1929, it is now operated by the
Kansas Historical Society as the Fort Hays State Historic Site. Buffalo Bill Cody co-founder of Rome, Kansas. July 4 ?
Fort Hays relocated. 1867-1872 Note: John Hays, as documented in Rockbridge census book, 1740, he had proven
Sons: David, Andrew, John, Charles, James and Robert Daughters: Barbara, Jane, and Rebecca, all born before 1740
according to his Will John Hays had (after 1750) a total of the following children: David, Andrew, Charles, Robert,
John and Grandson James ? son of James, Daughters: Rebecca, Jennett Mills not mentioned either, possible deceased.
The family lived in part of Augusta County that later became, Rockbridge County, when it was formed in 1778 NOTE:
Most of the Male Hays members were Masons of Virginia and Tennessee.

Robert was apparently a very active land broker in a large area encompassing Nashville as well as "Hays Country". Hays Country is about 60 miles southeast of Andrew Jackson's Hermitage on the east outskirts of present day Nashville. Other HAYS, in the records for the Hermitage Area, are Samuel, Hugh, Nathaniel, James and William Hays". Hugh HAYS, Samuel HAYS and Nathaniel HAYS each received grants of 640ac in Davidson County, surveyed June 1785, registered 1788 &1789 (Land Deed Genealogy of Davidson County TN 1783-1792 Vol. I). These grants were adjacent and located between the Cumberland River and Stones Creek. They were within 3 miles west of the present day Wilson/Davidson County, TN lines. Robert Hays received grants covering 6000ac in the vicinity registered in 1789. Nathaniel Hays sold 215ac of his grant to Thomas Taylor in 1804 and the remaining 425ac to Andrew Jackson in 1805. Andrew Jackson built the Hermitage on this acreage acquired from Nathaniel Hays. - the purchase of the Hermitage property from Nathaniel Hays.is documented ;Land Deed Genealogy of Davidson County TN 1783-1792 Vol. . The land that Jackson established his famous Hermitage plantation on was originally owned by the Hays family,
The DASH of OUR LIVES - At a Funeral, a man spoke of his beloved,
He referred to the dates on her tombstone, from the beginning to the end,
He noted the first date was that of her birth, and spoke of the moment with tears,
But he said what mattered most, was the DASH between the years!
For that DASH represents all the time, which she spent with us here on earth.
And now only those who loved her, Know what that little DASH was worth,
For it matters not how much we own; the cars, the house, the cash,
What matters is how We Live and Love, And how we spend our DASH!

1) ???????????????????????????????????????? **John Hays (B.1698 ?1771) - m. Rebecca 1718
From Chalkley's Augusta County Records: John and Rebecca married before their journey to America, 1737 voyage, and took their oath in new land on June 26, 1740. John came into the country and made an oath, that he transported himself, wife Rebecca, the families young, Jane, Robert, Charles, Andrew, Barbara, Joan and a nephew or grandson, Robert Hays, from Scotland to Philadelphia. He gave his Oath of Loyalty to America. John was given land Grants, in Rockbridge CO. VA. (Recorder in book 2 (1739-1741) It was the first time he gave his rights, for providing, for his family, in order to obtain land; CERTIFIED May 1740, in Orange Co. VA. John and Rebecca were a part of the Ulsterman Clan Immigrants from Ireland. John Hays eventually chose a 318-acre plantation which he bought for 5 Shillings, located 2 miles north of Rockbridge Baths, where Hays Creek and Moffetts Creek run together. It had a natural mill site. After 1752, Moffetts Creek was renamed Hays Creek and Hays Creek became Walker Creek, thus the original mill site is located on what today is known as Walker Creek. John Hays built the first mill in Rockbridge Co. in 1739, with the help of his sons, Andrew and Charles. Note: It has been noted that the Augusta County clerk made an error when they recorded John?s Will in February 1750. It didn't make sense that John Hays created his will in December 1750 and his death occurred sometime in February of 1750; however, it was since realized, that the date on the will and the county records are correct. The explanation is found in the fact that Great Britain used the Julian calendar until 1752 and, as a result, the end of that year was March 24, 1750 ? I have researched through many Wills, Land Deeds, Military Records and the Hays/Sims family documents, as they are working diligently to document their Genealogy and the connection with the Hays Family. One member went to Virginia, Sept. 2013 and made documents of the true facts found, in the numerous, Will Books, Land Deeds, Court Documents, Marriage and Death Reports and sent me a great deal of much appreciated information. What I have complied and documented, is from a great deal of research and though, there was a fire in the Rockbridge County Court House and many documents were lost after 1890s ? I have put together the best documented information and genealogy of the Hays/Hayes family linage, as I was able to prove. C. Hayes Sept.2013 wife of Michael Hayes.
*The Hermitage House in Tennessee, is very interlinked and documented with the Hays family line because the 7th President of the USA, Andrew Jackson, was a WARD, of John Hays, after he was orphaned (Parents died of Yellow Fever). When Jackson became of age, 21 years old, he lived with Robert Hays?, (and wife Jane Donelson) family, in Tennessee (Robert was John?s son) and grew up with Robert?s children as his own siblings. Jackson had a family connection towards all of the Hays families, due to the Hays family; helping him in his youth and later (Nathaniel Hays) selling him the land in which he built his home on ? The Hermitage House. Andrew Jackson, made wonderful marriage connections for the Hays family members and also obtained high military potions for the Hays men who became soldiers in hos regiments, he felt compelled to help them as though they were family members this information is documented in Jackson?s writings in the Hermitage House documents and letters written by Andrew Jackson). The names and marriages can be confusing ? Three Robert Hays married a Jane and three John Hays, married a Rebecca or Rachel - Very important, to follow land deeds and Wills for true linage and how their lives were interlinked ? While living with Col. Robert Hayes and wife Jane Donelson, Jackson met their Granddaughter Rachel and later married her. The other, Robert Hays ( the younger Robert) spoke of and in the family with his wife Jane Collier, were siblings and cousins of (Uncle Col. Robert) Nathaniel, Samuel, William and the parents of Hugh, Charles, Campbell and Thomas. I have noted them with an asterisks and underlining to denote who those mentioned in the Hermitage Museum papers and Jackson?s letters are. The land deeds show proof, the land of the Hermitage House, was first owned by Nathaniel Hays, adjacent to land owned by Hugh, Campbell, Samuel, Robert and William. It is believed their Uncle John Hays and Aunt Rachel Maxwell Hays John1,Andrew2,John3), also lived on Nathaniel?s land for a time and John was called ?Hermitage John? for his efforts helping so many find safety (John1,John2), from the Indians and the battles of Virginia. (Hermitage means: Safe Haven, a place of solitude) John and the many brothers and their families, left Virginia and the Indian troubles and the continuing British wars, to Tennessee to find safety and peace. Many of the Hays Family and neighbors were killed on John?s land in Virginia, during a celebration dinner. The Indians brutally massacred and took captive up to 100 people. This lead to the family?s movement, from the colonies and Andrew Jackson?s reason for forming the Trail Of Tears and elimination of all Indians from the colonies. The log cabin is believed to have been built on Nathaniel?s land in Tenn.,, by John Hays, for he and wife Rachel Maxwell Hays, very sturdy to protect from the Indian raiders. There are many different stories on who first lived in the log cabin, but dates, documents, times and events, point most assuredly to John and Rachel first built the log cabin and lived there. The family massacre, on John?s land, is also one reason, Jack Hays became a Texas Ranger and continued to capture and kill the Indians of War as well as the Mexicans who continued to kill the Colonists and burn their homes. There is a link to President Polk through a Hays daughter?s marriage and to Col. Chitwood, through a marriage. Many family members were soldiers and fought with George Washington in the Battle of Monmouth and he was great friends with many Hays soldiers. Many died during the Indian Wars, Rev. War, Civil War and the many British and Colony Battles. It was a harsh time for the new colonists.
Family Informational Notes from Records in Rockbridge and Wilson Counties:
Note: John HAYS lived on Cedar Lick Creek in Wilson Co., TN very near to the Hermitage in Davidson
Co., TN. Mr. Dixon wrote that the Hermitage Area was complicated by the changes in county lines during
the pertinent periods of times: 1790, the Davidson & Sumner County area and HAYS COUNTRY was in
Sumner County; 1800, the Hermitage Area was in Davidson & Wilson Counties with HAYS COUNTRY
in Wilson County; 1810, the Hermitage Area was in Davidson & Wilson Counties and HAYS COUNTRY
was in Wilson & Smith Counties - Note: Historic Structures Report, the original log house was built by
John Hays ca.1804, on Nathaniel?s property. Andrew Jackson built the original building, home, now called
the Hermitage House and the LHA is going to complete a $1.4 million restoration for it in the next couple
of years. (Completion date of summer 2004, the 200th anniversary of the purchase of the Hermitage
Property from Nathaniel Hays) Note: Nathaniel Hays and his neighbor to the south, Samuel Hays and his
Neighbor to the north, Hugh Hays. Jackson ended up with the entire 640-acre preemption NC Land Grants
of Nathaniel and Hugh Hays and a section of Samuel Hays' 640-ac preemption NC Land Grant as well, where
the Hermitage is now. His houses, including the famous Hermitage Mansion, the Hermitage Church, and
Andrew Jackson Donelson's Tulip Grove Mansion, acres all located on Nathaniel Hays' Original land grant
. Note: Charles Hays ? (son of John Hays of VA), is in Davidson County in 1780, and back in Greene County by 1783,
where he marries Elizabeth Gillespie ca.1792. His son Charles Hays is born, in Greene Co. ca.1794 and daughter
Jane Hays soon thereafter. Note: Nathaniel is located in East TN until around 1802, but shows up in
Davidson County in 1803. He then settles temporarily at his land grant before selling it (in two sections) to
Thomas Taylor and Andrew Jackson in 1804. Note: Samuel Hays, who owned the land just south of Nathaniel,
was in Davidson County by 1780, built the fortified Hays Stations on Stoner's Creek ca.1782-83, and was killed by
the Creek Indians nearby in early 1793. His wife Elizabeth continued to reside at Hays Station until selling it in 1807
and then moved to neighboring Wilson County, TN. Her sons Campbell, Andrew, Hugh, and Charles grew up at
Hays Station, were wards of Andrew Jackson in the 1790s, and moved to Wilson County, TN before 1807 these sons
served under Jackson in the Creek Indian Wars of 1813-14 Note: "John C. Hays, known in Texas as Jack
Hays, was born at Little Cedar Lick, Wilson County, Tennessee, on January 28, 1817. He was from the
same section of the Country as the McCullochs, Sam Houston, and Andrew Jackson, and was the same
adaptable sort of person. It is said that Jackson purchased The Hermitage from Jack Hays's grandfather,
John Hays, who served with Jackson in some of his Indian Wars, and who built Fort Haysboro, but it is
proven by land deed documents, the land was purchased from John?s Grandson, Nathaniel Hays. Jack's
Father, Harmon Hays, also fought with Jackson and named his son for General John Coffee, one of
Jackson's trusted officers. Hays came to Texas in 1837 or in the early part of 1838--then about 21 years of
Age -and took up his residence at San Antonio. Some accounts say that he joined the Texas Rangers and
fought Indians and Mexicans under Deaf Smith and Henry W. Karnes." Note: p. 34 - Nathaniel Williams
Thompson HAYS charged with Gaming 27 Apr 1832 (p.201). p. 4 - Stockley L. HAYS charged Thomas
G. Walker with trespass & assault & battery 1819 (p. 265). p. 26 - Harmon A. HAYS among others,
charged with gaming 1827 (pp. 167-168). Note: John Hays, as documented in Rockbridge census book,
1740, he had proven sons: David, Andrew, John, Charles, James and Robert Daughters: Barbara, Jane, and
Rebecca, all born before 1740 according to his Will John Hays had (after 1750) a total of the following
children: David, Andrew, Charles, Robert, John and Grandson James ? son of James, Daughters: Rebecca,
Jennett Mills not mentioned either, possible deceased. The family lived in part of Augusta County that later
became, Rockbridge County, when it was formed in 1778. Nov 30, 1750 Will Book I, Page 281

These grants were adjacent and located between the Cumberland River and Stones Creek. They were within 3 miles west of the present day Wilson/Davidson County, TN lines. Robert Hays received grants covering 6000ac in the vicinity registered in 1789. Nathaniel Hays sold 215ac of his grant to Thomas Taylor in 1804 and the remaining 425ac to Andrew Jackson in 1805.

Harmon Hays and Elizabeth Cage Hays:
Had 7 Children:
1) * John Hays ( Jack Hays Texas Ranger) 1817-1883
Jack Hays was born 28 January 1817 at Cedar Lick in Wilson County, Tennessee. By the age of fifteen he had moved to Mississippi and began to learn surveying. By mid-1836 Hays was in Texas where he joined a Ranger company under Erastus "Deaf" Smith. He took part in a skirmish with the Mexican Cavalry and assisted in the capture of Juan S?nchez. He was appointed deputy surveyor of the Bexar District. Hays combined his knowledge of Indian warfare with his rangering. John Coffee Hays helped to forge the legend of what a Texas Ranger was. Arriving in Texas in 1836 but just missing the famous battles of the Texas Revolution, nineteen-year-old Hays soon had Sam Houston urging him to join a new group of Rangers.
Jack Hays m. Susann Calvery 1847 Had 3 Daughters and 3 Sons
In 1840, Hays was appointed a captain of the Rangers. He proved himself to be a fearless fighter and a good leader of men. John Coffee Hays, known all his life as Jack, most of his adult life as Captain Jack, was born January 28th, 1817 in Little Cedar Lick, Tennessee. (Now is Nashville.) When he died on San Jacinto Day in 1883, he was one of the largest land-holders and wealthiest men in California. With his will, he gave much of his ranch to California. The Hays Ranch became the University of California at Berkeley. Yellow Fever took both of Jack?s parents in 1832. He and his siblings were parceled out among relatives. Jack and a younger brother and sister ended up with Uncle Robert Cage in Yazoo, Mississippi. And Jack was unhappy. He had to leave Nashville?s Davidson Academy, where he was the fastest runner and best horseman. Kindly old Uncle Robert wanted to make him a storekeeper. Note: "John C. Hays, known in Texas as Jack Hays, was born at Little Cedar Lick, Wilson County, Tennessee, on January 28, 1817. He was from the same section of the country as the McCullochs, Sam Houston, and Andrew Jackson, and was the same adaptable sort of person. Jack's father, Harmon Hays, fought with Jackson and named his son for General John Coffee, one of Jackson's trusted officers. Hays came to Texas in 1837 or in the early part of 1838--then about 21 years of age--and took up his residence at San Antonio. Some accounts say that he joined the Texas Rangers and fought Indians and Mexicans under Deaf Smith and Henry W. Karnes

Information on Nathaniel Hays and his neighbor to the south Samuel Hays and his neighbor to the north Hugh Hays. Jackson ended up with the entire 640-acre preemption NC Land Grants of Nathaniel and Hugh Hays and a section of Samuel Hays' 640-ac preemption NC Land Grant
as well, where the Hermitage is now. His houses, including the famous Hermitage Mansion, the Hermitage Church, and Andrew Jackson Donelson's Tulip Grove Mansion, is all located on Nathaniel Hays' original land Grant. I've been able to determine through research and land deeds, that Hugh Hays was living in Greene County, TN when he sold his 640-acres land grant to William Donelson & Andrew Jackson in 1795-96. (They bought it for William's brother and Andrew' business partner Samuel Donelson--Rachel Jackson's Brother, to Move to so he could be closer to the family ?NOTE: The evidence proves that Andrew Jackson
Built the original log Hermitage "from scratch" in The summer of 1804, Nevertheless, it is proven by land deeds, that the Hays family owned the land that became the Hermitage is very important to my project and the story completion.



7) Henry Hays 1757 d. 1820 (John1, John2) no records of henry ? possible deceased
8) *Col. Robert Hays - BEF 1758 (John1, John2) Col. Robert Hays m. Jane Donelson
Col. Robert M. Hays A LT. in the North Carolina Infantry in the American Revolutionary War 1776, LT. Robert Hays in N. Carolina Infantry of Amer. Rev He was a brother-in-law to Andrew Jackson ?The plantation that Jackson named Hermitage was ideally located 2 miles from The Cumberland and Stone Rivers; the land was originally settled by John Hays (John1, John2) and then son Robert. Other brothers and nephews moved into the area and purchased land alongside Robert?s property. Robert was the grandfather to legendary Texas Ranger John Coffee Hays, Campbell Hays and Confederate General Harry Thompson Hays and both grew up in his home in TENN. Jackson and his wife Rachel, moved into an existing two-story log cabin - built to resist Indian attacks. After Jackson built the main house, they moved in. Later there was a fire and during the remodeling, Jackson turned it into the Mansion it is today. The log house was disassembled and rebuilt from a two story to a one-story building used as slave quarters; a part of it still stands behind The Hermitage.[4] Initially Jackson operated the cotton farm with nine African slaves, but this number gradually grew to 44 slaves by 1820 as the farm expanded to 1,000 acres. Campbell Hays who served in the Civil War m. Ellen in Carroll CO. AR. Colonel Robert Hays erected the Fort Haysboro in Wilson CO., VA. ?just a few miles from Memphis Tenn. (son of John and Rebecca) A LT. in the North Carolina Infantry in the American Revolutionary War,.
Col. Robert HAYS m. Jane DONELSON Grandson of Son of John Hays and Rebecca)21 Jan 1786, in TN: source-1 and one other undocumented site said that Col. Robert Hays & Jane Donelson were the grandparents of John Coffey Hays, known as Capt. Jack Hays, one of the first Texas Rangers. ( Jack Hays grew up in Robert and Jane?s home but he was not his Grandfather as it is proven to be the son of Rachel Maxwell Hays and John Hays.) Also, there was a Campbell HAYS who served in the War of 1812. His record shows he married Ellen Unknown 14 Dec 1863 in Carroll Co., AR. a letter written to Col. Robert Hays in 1819, signed by H. A. Hays - listing the three children he had at that time. The writer of the letter was without a doubt the father of Col. Jack Hays. Then, in the papers of the very lengthy lawsuit, Hays v. Drake, in the Sumner Co., TN loose papers the proof was found. On page 2271 is a letter written by Harmon A. Hays and the signature of that letter is without a doubt the same as the one on the 1819 letter. Thus, it is certain that Harmon A. Hays did write the letter naming his son John Coffee, namesake of General John Coffee and he is the same Harmon A. Hays of Wilson County, Tennessee, the family of Col. Robert Hays has been added to Page 2. Will Pittsylvania Co. VA d. 1819 There is a lot of confusion between Robert and Jane Donelson and Robert Hays and wife Jane Collier ? it is important to follow the land deeds and Wills to get the true linage correct. The Hermitage Samuel, William and Nathaniel are brothers to Col. Robert Hays and Samuels children: Campbell/Huge/Charles and Thomas.
