General Notes: Husband - Capt. Abraham Hays
He was born on the old Hays homestead, located on what was later known as Whittaker's run, one and one-half miles above Homestead, Pennsylvania, and about one and one-half miles from the Monongahela river. He was reared on the farm, and was a private pupil of H. M. Turning, a well-known teacher, for several years, until eighteen years of age, when he commenced the trade of millwright with his brother-in-law, Charles Gibbs. This business he followed until his marriage, soon after which he moved into Pittsburgh, where he formed a partnership with his brother, Thomas, in the manufacture of flax-seed oil. Their mill stood near the site where the Pennsylvania union depot was later located. Some years later, his health failing, Capt. Hays moved to Butler County, Pennsylvania, where he followed farming about three years, and then returned to the old homestead. Some years later he moved down the Monongahela river, above Homestead, where he followed his trade several years; then engaged in steam-boating in partnership with his brother, James H., Harvey Robinson and James Lindsey, owning steamboats and towing coal. Afterward he purchased a farm near his residence, just above Homestead, where he died. He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church at Lebanon. [HAC 1889 II, 770]
