General Notes: Husband - David Hays - Hayes

---

Among those who emigrated to the Province of Pennsylvania were the brothers Patrick, Hugh and David Hays, also William and James Hays, either brothers or near relations. They came to Pennsylvania in 1728, and all purchased land in what was then the county of Lancaster.
He purchased 500 acres of land near Donegal, Lancaster County, in what later became Rapho township. This land was on the west side of the Big Chickies creek, opposite the Robert Spear farm. He was a trustee of the Donegal Church for twelve years, and on a marble tablet in that church is recorded "Patent from John, Thomas and Richard Penn to the trustees, Rev. James Anderson, John Allison, Jas. Mitchell and David Hays, June 4th, 1740." David Hays died in May, 1770, leaving a wife Jean and five children: Mrs. Alex Scott, John, Robert, Patrick and David. His executors were sons Robert and Patrick, and son-in-law Alex. Scott. [Notes and Queries, Vol. II,
p. 264.] There are still living descendants of their branch of the family, but they are extinct in Lancaster county, the last of the name dying at Marietta in 1847.
Arthur Hays, a grandson of David, was in Revolutionary service commissioned an ensign in Capt. Pedan's company; participated in the battles of Brandywine and Germamown, and in the Jersey campaign. In the graveyard at Donegal church are nine gravestones which mark the resting-places of that branch of the Hays family. [BACC 1905, 699]
