Post Reply | Mark Unread Report Abuse Print Message Carla--If you haven't found your Reuben Hays ancestors yet, you might want to check this out: In Greene Co. TN, a Reuben Henry Hays (1880-1949). Son of Charles Neil Hays (1845-1926)--son of Charles Hays (1800-1874) and Elizabeth Neil--son of Robert Hays (1770-1840) and Jane Collier. (Historic Greene Co., TN and its People 1783-1992)

Considering that both are of Greene Co, and with the old naming patterns, your Reuben could have been related to this one. Best wishes, Betty

 Surnames: Hays, Carter, Fann, Moyers, Foster, Townsend 
 Classification: Query 

Post Reply | Mark Unread Report Abuse Print Message Reuben Hays married Mary Polley Carter on October 22, 1812 in Greene County, Tennessee. William Moyers signed their marriage license. They had atleast three male children., 2 known to be William b. 1814 and John b. 1818. Polley Hays is then found marrying Hiram Fann January 26, 1823 also in Greene County. Their children are Isaac, Talitha, Nancy, Phillip, Moses, Mary, Hiram Jr., Rachel, and George Fann all born in Greene County. They remain there until after 1830 when they relocate to McLeansboro, Hamilton County, Illinois. The Hays boys marry Townsend sisters and some the Fann children marry some of the Foster children once in Illinois. The Fosters and Fanns travelled from Greene County, Tn. to Illinois together.

I am seeking any information on these families. Especially the parentage of Reuben Hays or any information about his death, their divorce , or what became of him. All help is greatly appreciated. As always I am willing to share all I have on these families.

Best Regards, Carla D. Krehbiel
