Notes

This appears to be a different Andrew Hays, according to the following account that was killed by Indians in Augusta County, VA about 1763:

Page 145--Wm. Patton, aged 64, deposes, in Rockbridge, 7th November, 1806, he has lived in Rockbridge 56 years since last May. After the Revolution there was a rapid increase of immigration from the North. James Wardlaw and deponent's father were intimate. James had a son Hugh and a son Robert. There were Indian troubles for about 10 years. Fifty years ago there was a fort at McClung; the last incursion was 43 years ago, when 16 or 17 people were killed. Deponent helped bury them and they were attacked at the burial. These were very early settlers, viz: James, Alexr. Saml. Walker, James Moore, Saml. Coalter, Jno. Wallace, Archd. Rhea, James Rutherford, James Buchanan, ANDREW and CHARLES HAYS. Deponent was born September, 1742. McDowell was killed Christmas or New Year's, after his birth. ]Note: this reference appears to be for the 2nd Kerr's Creek Massacre, which occurred in 1763].

This appears to be an interpretational error. Andrew is included in a list of early settlers. The list is not a list of those that were attacked or buried
