Background
Patrick Hays (1) apparently came to Old Augusta from Derry Township in what is now Dauphin County, PA, about 1740. He may be the same Patrick Hays who took out a Lancaster land Warrant in 1737, for which he had a parcel surveyed in Derry Township about 1742. Alternatively, the Patrick who took out the land warrant may be another person, possibly his father. We have evidence for a Patrick Hays in both areas through the period from 1740 to about 1785. These records may represent several different persons. Who those persons are, and which records apply to which person, is of interest in resolving the family relationships and history of the Hays Family of Old Augusta.
The following tabulation summarizes some of the data available relating to these Patricks in both Derry Township, and in Old Augusta. Neither selection is complete, though more work is needed to document Patrick Hays in Derry Township.
