I am hoping to find other descendants of my (Ulsterman) Hays Clan, who migrated from Bangor, Ulster, Ireland to Augusta, Virginia in 1740.
I am the great-grandson of George Dillard Hays, b. 10 Aug 1872, Ralls, Missouri,
__son of Andrew Collins Hays, b. 11 Apr 1835, Tennessee,
___son of George Campbell Hays, b. 7 Mar 1794, Rockbridge, Virginia,
____son of Charles John Hays, b. 24 Aug 1752, Augusta, Virginia,
_____son of Andrew Hays (an Ulster-Scot), b. 1716, Bangor, Province of Ulster, Ireland
______son of John Hays (abt.1674-1751) & Rebecca (1680-1752)
The later part of John & Rebecca Hay's family history including land deeds, construction of their fulling mill, the first one ever built in Rockbridge Co., and even their last will & testaments are all well documented in the "Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia."
Best Regards!
Gene Hays
