Marriage Record: Davis, Joseph and Margaret Hays, dau. [of] Joseph [sic, s/b "John"] Hays, Jesse Evans, surety - Dec. 4, 1783.
Note: Margaret Davis is named in the will of her father, John Hays whose will was filed November 1814 in Smith County, TN. The mention of Joseph Hays above appears to be a likely transcription error, perhaps transcribing "Jo. Hays" as Joseph instead of John.
