General Notes: Husband - Robert Hayes

---

He served as a ranger on the frontiers during the Indian war of 1755-64, and at the outset of the war for independence assisted in the associated battalion for the township, of which he was an officer, and was at the battles of Brandywine and Germantown.

He built his house in 1762, and his stone barn in 1772; the latter was torn down in 1850.

On Aug. 20, 1776, he enlisted as a private in Col. Galbraith's battalion, of Lancaster County Associators, and according to Dr. Egle, State librarian, became a commissioned officer. [In his Notes and Queries he tells of Robert having with him two servants at the battle of Brandywine, one of whom dreamed on the night before the battle that he would be killed, so he was left behind with the baggage. On returning from the battle, they found that part of the camp had been sacked and the dead body of the servant, whose dream had been fulfilled.] His (Robert's) inheritance was what was later known as the Longnecker farm. [BACC 1905, 699]
