General Notes: Husband - John Hays

---

Oakland Twp, Venango Co, PA

It was about 1795 that he and his brother Robert arrived at Greensburg, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and within the next ten years, about 1803-04, they removed to Venango County, where they settled permanently. Coming to Franklin, they secured a tract of one thousand acres in Oakland Township, trading soldier warrants for the land, and the part on which they made a home lay six miles west of the mouth of Oil creek and eight miles north of Franklin. [CAB, 646]

All of the children of John Hays were born to his first marriage. His second marriage took place when he was past seventy, and he lived to be over ninety.
