The maiden name of his wife Mary is not known. George Hayes (Hoss) was taxed in Ayr Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, in 1763 with 50 acres of land and was assessed for 147 acres in 1768. In 1769 and 1770 he was taxed for 100 acres:[Note 1] 1762 William Lynn 100 (w) 1763 George Hoss 50 (unw, unsd) William Lynn 100 (w) Laurance Sligor 100 (unw, unsd) William Smith 100 (unw, unsd) 1768 George Hoarse 147 (unw) Eddis Linn 50 (unw) Andrew Manu 105 (p) Jacob Manu 100 (unw) Barnet Manu 115 (unw) Lawrence Sligar 100 (w) William Smith 50 (w) Adam Smith 190 (unw) Peter Smith 115 (unw) James Smith 200 (w) 1769 George Horse 100 (l) Eddis Lynn 50 (l) Andrew Mooney 100 (p) Jacob Mooney 100 (l) Bernard Mooney 100 (l) Henry Slacker 100 (w) Philip Slather 50 (l) William Smith 50 (l) Adam Smith 100 (l) Peter Smith 70 (l) James Smith 100 1770 George Horse 100 (l) Eddis Linn 50 (l) Jean Linn 150 (w) Andrew Money 100 (p) Jacob Money 150 (l) Bernard Money 100 (l) Lawrence Slack 100 (l) Philip Slater 50 (l) William Smith 50 (l) Adam Smith 100 (l) Peter Smith 50 (l) James Smith 150 (l) The abbreviations following the number of acres were not defined in the transcript, but they may mean warranted, unwarranted, unsurveyed, patented and leased. Bedford County was erected from part of Cumberland County in 1771 and Bethel Township was formed in 1773 from Ayr Township, so that many of the above men, and others whose names are associated with them, were taxed in Bethel Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania, in 1774:[Note 2] John Fisher Barnet Mooney James Graham Moses Reed (two mills) George Horse Henry Rush Addis Linn Jacob Rush Jr Jane Linn Jacob Rush Sr Nathan Linn Peter Rush John McKinney Lawrence Slicken Andrew Mann Adam Smith John Martin Emanuel Smith Richard Martin John Smith Jacob Money (collector) Peter Smith George Horse undoubtedly is George Hayes (Hayse, Hause) who died in Jefferson County, Kentucky, about 1828, leaving a daughter Mary Smith.[Note 3] Manu, Mann, Money and Mooney are variant phonetic spellings of the name Muni. Lawrence Sligar (Slicken) is Lawrence Sliger whose daughter Lena married Jacob Money and had a daughter Leaney Money who married John Smith and moved to Jefferson County. Lena Mann married Peter Smith and also moved to Jefferson County.[Note 4] Adam Smith and Mary Catherine Hayes undoubtedly were married in Cumberland or Bedford counties, before moving to Jefferson County. Philip Slater (Slather) must have been Philip Slaughter who had land next to the Smiths and probably was the father of John Slaughter who married a daughter of Peter Smith and Lena Mann.[Note 5] William Linn could have been, or at least must have been related to, the early voyager on the Ohio River, between Pittsburgh and New Orleans, by that name, who was an early settler of Jefferson County, where Linn Station was founded before 1780.[Note 6] The 1767 tax list for Ayr Township listed George Hoss with 200 acres of unwarranted land, of which 16 were cleared. He had 3 horses and 6 bovines (cows) of taxable age, which was 3 or 4 years.[Note 7] Cumberland County is somewhat east of Bedford County today. Situated southwest of Harrisburg, the county seat of Cumberland is Carlisle. The land of George Hayes was in the eastern part of Bedford County which became Fulton County in 1850. The first settlers in that area arrived in the valley of Tonoloway Creek about 1755. Later some groups settled in the Great Cove and northern parts of the county on land not officially acquired from the Indians. In 1750 the colonial government of Pennsylvania burned some of the settlersı cabins to satisfy the Indians. Five years later, the Indians attacked the settlers in what is called The Great Cove Massacre. The prompted the government to erect a chain of forts along the frontier, including Fort Littleton which was built in 1755. That same year Forbes Road was opened through the northern part of what became Fulton County.[Note 8] Today Tonoloway Creek begins just north of the town of Sipes Mill in Fulton County, not far from where US 70 branches from the Pennsylvania Turnpike (US 76) to go south. East of Sideling Hill, the stream roughly parallels US70 until both reach Hancock in Washington County, Maryland, where the creek empties into the Potomac River. There is a Fort Tonoloway State Park at Hancock. Morgan County, West Virginia, lies across the Potomac at this narrowest point in western Maryland. West of Sideling Hill, the watershed drains north, forming the Juniata River. The town of Bedford is situated in this area.[Note 9] It has not been determined when the George Hayes and his neighbors actually settled on the Tonoloway. Their land was about forty miles from Fort Bedford and probably closer to Fort Loudon, which was to the east. Life at Fort Bedford and its village of Raystown, during 1763-1765 when the settlers were fighting Chief Pontiac and the Indians, was described vividly by historical novelist Hervey Allen, whose characters in Bedford Village depict what Hayes might have been like and how he lived. Bedford Village (1944) is the second of four volumes about colonial times in Pennsylvania, the Ohio Country and New York State, which traced a manıs development from savagery to civilization. The last book of the saga, which was intended to be called, collectively, The Disinherited, had not been completed when the author died. The other titles are The Forest and the Fort (1943), Toward the Morning (1948) and the unfinished The City in the Dawn, under which title all four novels were combined (1948) for publication.[Note 10] Although the French and Indian War was ended in 1763 by the Treaty of Paris, Pontiac did not stop fighting until 1766, so an influx of settlers probably occurred then. By the Treaty of Paris, France ceded Canada and all her possessions lying east of the Mississippi River to England and New Orleans and all her possessions west of the Mississippi to Spain. Prominent in the French and Indian War were the battles in western Pennsylvania, the surrender of Fort Necessity by George Washington to the Frenchman Villiers on 04 July 1754, the ill-fated expedition against Fort Duquesne (Pittsburgh) led by English General Edward Braddock, who lost 1000 of his 2000 men in an ambush by the French and Indians led by Beaujeu on 09 July 1755, and the capture of Fort Duquesne from the French by Forbes on 25 November 1758. The transfer of the posts between the Great Lakes and the Ohio River from the French to the British in 1763 led to continued fighting with the Indians, of which the leading figure was Pontiac, a chief of the Ottawa tribe. Peace with Pontiac was not made until 1766. The French and Indian War convinced the colonists of the necessity of union and the victory stimulated they desire for self-government. With the defeat of the French, the colonies no longer needed to depend upon England for protection against a foreign power. George Hayes (Horse) obtained a warrant for 185 acres, called The Mulberry Spring, on 31 October 1766. The records indicate that the tract was surveyed on 22 June 1774 and recorded on 02 June 1774, but one of those dates is in error. The land was situated on Tonoloway Hill and adjoined the lands of Phillip Hillebrandt, Lawrence Sliger, John Rush and Peter Smith:[Note 11] This Indenture Made this 28th day of October in the year of our lord one thousand Seven hundred and Ninety five and in the twentieth of Americaıs Independence Between George Horse of Bethel Township Bedford County and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Yeoman and Mary his wife of the one part and George Breathed of the Township County and Commonwealth aforesaid of the other part Witnesseth that ... for ... two hundred and fifty pounds Current Money of the Commonwealth aforesaid ...

The deed was recorded on 29 May 1796 by John Anderson, Recorder. The land of George Hayes (Horse) was on a hill north of the land of Peter Smith, which was called Flowing Spring. The southern boundary of Peterıs land, on White Oak Run, adjoined Adam Smith. The stream apparently flows through a break in Tonoloway Hill at the line that separated the two tracts. Peterıs parcel, which contained 136 acres, was shaped somewhat as a horseshoe around Tonoloway Hill, with the closed end on the south. Adamıs land also resembled a horseshoe, but was the reverse of Peterıs tract, so that the two parcels abutted each other at the closed ends of the Uıs, to form a rough H shape overall. John McKinney adjoined Peter Smith on the east. The tract was surveyed on 18 June 1774 pursuant to Order No. 1763, dated 31 October 1766.[Note 12] The land of George Hayes (Horse) touched on the north end of the land of Laurence Sliger, around an area that was not shown as allocated. North of George Horse was the land of John Rush which was later sold to Peter Smith. On the south, Laurence Sligerıs land adjoined the tract of Andrew Mann, which was next to Peter Smith and north of McKinney.[Note 13] To get his land, Adam Smith applied for and received Order No. 1767 on 31 October 1766 for a survey of 300 acres of land adjoining John McKinneyıs surveyed line on White Oak in Bethel Township, Bedford County. The survey, made on 18 June 1774, resulted in a tract of 223 acres, called Clover Field, which encircled the north end of Tonoloway Hill as a U. Most of the acreage lay east of the hill. The west arm of the tract included White Oak Run. The land was situated about a half-mile above where White Oak Run empties into Tonoloway Creek. John McKinneyıs land was on the east, Peter Smith owned land on the north and John Smith owned land on the west. The land bounding Adam Smith on the south was identified as surveyed land. The relationships of the Smiths has not been proved but they probably were brothers. A warrant was issued by John Penn and Thomas Penn, Co-proprietaries and Governors of the Province of Pennsylvania, to accept the survey on 28 June 1774.[Note 14] On that same day a patent was issued by the Penns and Adam Smith paid eleven pounds and three shillings, sterling, lawful money of Pennsylvania, for the land, plus annual payments of one penny per acre.[Note 15] Adam Smith and his wife Mary Catreene sold their 223 acres to John Fisher for 300 pounds on 09 May 1785:[Note 16] This Indenture made the ninth day of May in the year our lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty five Between Adam Smith and his wife Mary catrene of Bethel township Bedford County and state of Pennsylvania of the one part and John Fisher of the town of the township County and state aforesaid of the other part Witnesseth that ...

Both moved to Jefferson County, Kentucky, from Bethel Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania, which formerly was part of Ayr Township and Cumberland County. George Hayes (Hors) signed a petition to the Governor of Pennsylvania, by Bedford County residents on 14 November 1786. Among the signatories were Benjamin Martin, Jacob Mann, Andrew Mann, Barnet Mann, George Hors, Henry Rush, John Rush and Moses Reed, all neighbors of Adam Smith.[Note 17] George Hayes (Horse) moved to Kentucky after 14 November 1786, when he signed the petition, and before 03 September 1800 when he was taxed in Jefferson County, Kentucky:[Note 18] George Horse Jefferson County 09-03-1800 Peter Horse ³ ³ ³ John Hay ³ ³ ³ Peter Hause ³ ³ ³ George Hayes actually was in Jefferson County by 08 December 1797 when Roger Thompson of Mercer County, Kentucky, sold 241 1/2 acres in Jefferson County to George Hayes (Harris) for 110 pounds. The tract, which adjoined land of Charles Harriman on the waters of Floydıs Fork in Jefferson County, was part of a 1000-acre survey patented in the name of Sarah Thompson. Witnessed by Thomas Graham, Peter Fisher, Charles Harriman and Peter Hayes (Hays), the deed was recorded on 02 January 1798. On the same day, Roger Thompson sold other parcels of the tract. Charles Harriman bought 180 3/4 acres for 85 pounds. Andrew Young bought 100 acres, adjoining John Slaughter, for 45 pounds. John Slaughter bought 100 acres, adjoining the land of George Hayes (Harris), for 41 pounds, 2 shillings and 6 pence. These deeds were witnessed by Peter Fisher, Peter Hayes (Hays), Charles Harriman, Thomas Graham and William Young.[Note 19] The transcriber misread the name of George Hayes (Hause) as Harris because on 02 September 1797 William Fleming of Chesterfield County, Virginia, sold 25 acres in Jefferson County to John Slaughter for $100.00. The land adjoined land of Andrew Young, at a corner in a line made for Sarah Thompson, land of George Hayes (Hause) and the great road leading from the Falls of the Ohio to Bardstown.[Note 20] George Hayesı son Peter was identified as Peter Hayes, the younger, in an 1801 deed, which indicates that there was an older Peter Hayes in Jefferson County at this time. On 20 August 1801 William Fleming of Chesterfield County, Virginia, sold 225 acres in Jefferson County to Peter Hause, the younger, son of George Hause, for 100 pounds. The tract was on the west side of Floydıs Fork, beginning at the road from Louisville to Bardstown, corner to Charles Harriman, thence southerly along Flemingıs original survey line. It was part of Flemingıs survey of 10,200 acres granted to him by Virginia by patent dated 06 December 1788.[Note 21] The purchase price of 100 pounds must be the money to which George Hayes referred in his will as an advance to his son Peter. On the same day George Hayes (Hause) bought 203 acres from Fleming for 51 pounds, which was on the waters of Floydıs Fork and Cedar Creek and part of the same grant. The parcel adjoined the land on which George Hayes (Hause) then resided, the land of Wilson and Mitchell, and the road from Louisville to Bardstown.[Note 22] Peter Hayes, the elder, apparently used the name Hawes and he probably was Peter Hause who bought 200 acres from William Fleming on 28 August 1797 for $800.00, which also was part of the 10,200-acre grant on Floydıs Fork that was patented on 06 December 1788. The boundary of the 200 acres began in William Peytonıs line, near George Findleyıs land, at a point in a lane between Findleyıs land and an improvement made by Thomas Curry, ran along the line of Curryıs field to Flemingıs line and was bounded by lands of Osborn Sprigg, Adam Wyman and Benjamin Kalfus.[Note 23] On 03 April 1798 Peter Hawes (Hause) bought 29 acres in Jefferson County from Jacob LaRue of Frederick County, Virginia, for $116. The tract was on Floydıs Fork adjoining the eastern side of William Flemingıs 10,200-acre survey, the northwestern boundary of Osborn Spriggıs 200-acre preemption and lands of William Peyton, Thomas Curry and Arthur Chenowith.[Note 24] Peter Hayes witnessed a deed whereby Peter Fisher and Deborah Smith, who were former residents of Bethel Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania, bought land in Jefferson County, Kentucky, in 1797. The witnesses were Charles Harryman, Peter Hays, William Young, Andrew Young and Philip Slaughter. Charles Harrymanıs daughter Rebecca married Thomas Smith in Mercer County, Kentucky. Andrew Young married Susanna Smith, daughter of Henry Smith, on 16 March 1801. Philip Slaughter married Sarah Smith on 27 February 1806, with John Hays as bondsman. Peter Fisher and Deborah Smith moved to Washington County, Indiana, before 1820.[Note 25] George and Mary Hayes appear to have been living with their son John in 1810 when the Federal census for Jefferson County, Kentucky, was enumerated. The family arrangement suggests that there were two married couples in the residence, with the younger of them having been married for just ten years:[Note 26] John Hays 1 M 45+ (Geo Sr) 1 F 45+ (Mary) 1 M 26-45 (John) 1 F 16-26 (Priscilla?) 3 M -10 1 F -10 Peter Hays 1 M 26-45 1 F 26-45 2 M 10-16 3 M -10 George Hays 1 M 26-45 (Geo Jr) 1 F 26-45 2 M 10-16 2 F 10-16 2 M -10 Peter Hoss 1 M 26-45 1 F 16-26 2 F -10 Adam Smith 1 M 45+ (Adam) 1 F 45+ (Mary) 1 M 16-26 (Benjamin) 1 F 10-16 (Elizabeth) 1 M 10-16 (James) 1 M -10 (Joseph) Isaac Haws 1 M 26-45 1 F 26-45 1 M -10 1 F 10-16 John, son of George, with four children under ten in 1810 probably was John Hayes (Hayse) who married Priscilla McKeaig (McKeag), daughter of Samuel, on 23 March 1802 in Jefferson County. Samuel McKeaig was surety on the bond which was dated 19 March 1802, with Worden Pope as witness. Simeon Hall officiated at the wedding.[Note 27] The surviving children of George Hayes (Hayse) were identified in his Jefferson County, Kentucky, will which was dated 24 March 1813 and proved on 08 January 1828:[Note 28] In the name of God Amen I George Hayse of the county of Jefferson & State of Kentucky; having in mind the uncertainty of Life & Knowing that It is appointed for all men once to die, & being now far advanced in Age, but throı the mercy of God Still enjoy a Sound mind; do make & ordain this my Last will & Testament in the manner & form following, that is to Say, I will & Devise to my oldest Son George Hayse the Plantation on which he now lives, to him & his heirs forever - And to my Son Peter Hayse I will & Devise, One hundred pounds which money I advanced in Purchase of the land on which Sd.

I also will & Devise to my Daughter Margaret Sousley the Sum of ten pounds to be paid to her one year after my Decease by my Son Peter: - I also Devise to my Daughter Eave Snively the Sum of ten Pounds to be paid to her one year after my Decease By my Son George: - & I also will And ordain that after my Decease all my loose property Such as household & Kitchen furnature Beds &c Shall be parceled out into five parcels of equal Value each or as nearly So as may be Agreeable to the Judgement of two Judicious men who Shall be appointed for that purpose by my Executors, which loose property when Perceled out into five parcels as aforesaid, Shall be aloted to my five Children who are now residing in the State of Kentucky, George Peter & John, & my two Daughters Mary Smith and Margaret Sousley in the following manner that is my Executors Shall write on Separate pieces of paper the names of each Devisee & then one of those pieces of Paper Shall be put into the hands of a child (who Shall be so young as not to have a proper Knowledge of the Value of Property and Said Child directed to lay sd.

Woodrow John Slaughter State of Kentucky At a County Court held for Jefferson County in the State aforesaid at the Court house in Louisville on the eighth day of January One thousand eight hundred and twenty eight - The foregoing Instrument of writing was produced in Court and proved by the oaths of Alexander Woodrow and John Slaughter Subscribing witnesses thereto And thereupon the Same was established by the Said Court to be the last Will and Testament of George Hayse deceased late of said County and was ordered to be recorded and is recorded Teste Worden Pope Clk In addition to the circumstantial evidence of geography and migration, the will provides additional evidence that indicates that daughter Mary Smith was Mary Catherine Smith, wife of Adam Smith. The wife of Adam Smith was the only Mary Smith in Jefferson County who was known to have three sons at this time and two of the witnesses to the will, James McKeaig and John Slaughter, were connected by marriage to Adam Smith. Since the will was dictated by George Hayes, who signed it with his mark, the penman may or may not have known precisely how to spell Georgeıs surname. The spelling Hayse does not occur frequently in Jefferson County records and since the name was spelled phonetically as Hoss and Horse it must have been Haas, Hause or Hawes. However the sons of George Hayes used the name Hayes and that spelling has been adopted for this compilation, although Hawes appears frequently in records. Since George Hayesı wife Mary was not mentioned in his will, she must have died before it was written. Daughter Eve Snively apparently stayed in Pennsylvania or had migrated elsewhere by 1813. Her name may have been Shively or Snavely. Daughter Margaret Sousley may have been the wife of either John or Jacob Sousley who bought 154 1/4 acres of land on Floydıs Fork, which was part of the William Fleming tract, from Aaron Hagerman on 18 October 1815.[Note 29] George Sinsley who appears on the 1820 census in Jefferson County may have been George Sousley:[Note 30] George Sinsley 1 M 45+ 1 F 26-45 1 M 16-26 1 F 16-26 1 M 10-16 1 F 10-16 1 M -10 2 F -10 This appears to be a family of a marriage that occurred about 1800. However neither George, John or Jacob Sousley appear in the index of the 1810 Kentucky census[Note 31] or on the 1800 Kentucky tax list.[Note 32] The 1820 census index shows George Sousley and Jacob Sousley in adjoining Bullitt County[Note 33] and the 1830 index lists Henry Sousley and George Sously in Bullitt County.[Note 34] Peter Sousley witnessed a deed of William Burkett (Birkhead), Jr. in Bullitt County on 11 September 1833.[Note 35] George Hayes was preceded to Jefferson County by his son-in-law Adam Smith, who was taxed there in 1789 with others from Bedford County:[Note 36] Adam Smith 05-18-1789 Henry Smith 05-18-1789 John Smith 05-19-1789 John Slaughter 05-19-1789 On 20 August 1791 Adam Smith of Jefferson County, Kentucky, bought 330 acres on Floydıs Fork in Jefferson County, from Squire and Jane Boone for 150 pounds, which was part of a 1500-acre tract entered in the name of William Peyton.[Note 37] Squire and Jane Boone acknowledged the deed on 08 March 1792. John Smith bought 200 acres of the Peyton survey on Floydıs Fork from the Boones on 22 September 1797 and sold it to George Finley on 20 June 1798.[Note 38] The south side of the 200-acre tract that Peter Hayes (Hause) bought from William Fleming in August 1797 adjoined the 200-acre parcel that George Finley (Fenley) bought from John Smith.[Note 39] Peter Hawes was described as a native of Maryland, whose son Benjamin Hawes was born in 1793 and died in 1869. Benjaminıs wife Elizabeth was born on 04 October 1796. Benjamin and Elizabeth were the parents of Isaac W. Hawes, James Hawes, Benjamin Hawes, Jessie R. Hawes, Peter Hawes and Harrison ³Harry² Hawes, who married George Ann Zilhart.[Note 40] Benjamin Hawes and his wife Elizabeth are buried in the Hawes-Maple Cemetery just off Watterson Trail south, near the home of Mr. George Schurek (6025) and almost directly under the power line which crosses Watterson Trail:[Note 41] Benjamin F. Hawes born Jan. 20, 1793; died Mar. 10, 1869 Elizabeth, wife of Benjamin F. Hawes born October 4, 1796 The identification of the birthplace of Peter Hawes as Maryland ties in with the location of the Bedford County, Pennsylvania, land of George Hayes (Horse), which was not far from the Maryland border. Others of the group of migrant neighbors from Bedford County have been described as having been born in Maryland, probably because they stopped in western Maryland, as they followed the streams on their migration to Kentucky. Benjamin Hawes (Hause) got a bond to marry Elizabeth Roach, daughter of Jesse Roach, deceased, and Hannah Roach, who gave her consent to the marriage, on 12 December 1817 in Jefferson County, with John Hause, Jr. as his bondsman. There was no ministerıs return recorded.[Note 42] Jacob Hawes (Hause), who reputedly came to Jefferson County from Bourbon County, Kentucky, was born on 28 February 1785 and died on 29 July 1847. He is buried in the Ellingsworth-Hawes Cemetery in Jefferson County, which is on Stout Road behind the house of someone with the name Aubrey on the mailbox. Jacob Hawes married Fannie Omer, daughter of David Omer, in 1812. Jacob Hawes or his son William L. Hawes built the house at the northeast corner of Bardstown Road and Seatonville Road, of which the four front rooms are of log construction, now covered with siding. The house is on the land that Peter Hawes (Hause) bought from William Fleming in 1797, which suggests that the log structure could have been erected by him.[Note 43] This continuity also suggests that Peter and Jacob were related. Jacob Hawes may have been a son of Isaac Hawes of Jefferson County, who had three daughters who married in 1813, 1818 and 1821. On 27 May 1813 Melinda Hawes, daughter of Isaac Hawes, married William Smith, which suggests that Isaac lived near the large contingent of Smiths in southern Jefferson County on Floydıs Fork and Cedar Creek. Lucy Hawes, daughter of Isaac Hawes, who gave his consent in person, married Alfred Gosney on 14 May 1818. Elizabeth F. Hawes, daughter of Isaac Hawes, married Thomas Enochs on 24 October 1821.[Note 44] Maybe Isaac Hawes was a brother of Peter Hawes. Peterıs son Benjamin named a son Isaac. The probability that Jacob and Peter Hawes were related is enhanced by the fact that when Jacob Hawes (Hause) got a bond to marry Fanny Omer on 01 October 1814, Peter Omer was his bondsman. Peter Omer married Rebecca Hawes (Hause), daughter of Peter Hause, with Benjamin Hawes (Hause) as surety on the bond, which was dated 11 April 1818.[Note 45] Other children of Peter Hawes, who were identified as his daughters in their marriage records, were Sybella Hawes (Cevilla Hauze), who married Henry Thorn on 21 January 1806, and Hannah Hawes (Hause) who married George Seebolt on 21 May 1815. Elizabeth Hawes (Hause) who married George Finley (Fenley) on 23 February 1802 was also a daughter and heir of Peter Hayes. Peter was bondsman for Freeborn Jupin when he married Susannah Hawes on 18 July 1797.[Note 46] Susannah Jupin was not a surviving heir of Peter Hawes, so she may have been a daughter who died before him without leaving issue. A survey map of Jefferson County, showing land holdings during 1774-1784, places the 10,200-acre tract of William Fleming between Floydıs Fork of the Salt River, on the east, and about where the road runs from Louisville to Bardstown, on the west. The northern section straddled Chenoweth Run, which is a tributary of Floydıs Fork and the tract probably extended from the present town of Fern Creek to the present village of Seatonville. A Jefferson County atlas map of 1858 shows Geo. Hawes and P. Hawes with land on either side of Floydıs Fork, where is bends sharply from the west to the south. P. Hawes must be Peter Hawes. George Hawesı tract is east of the land of B. Smith, across the creek, and Peter Hawesı land adjoins B. Smith on the north. An atlas map of 1879 shows the three tracts as P. Hawesı estate, G. Hawesı Estate and B. Smithıs Estate, which indicates that all three died between 1858 and 1879. B. Smith probably was Benjamin Smith, son of Adam Smith who owned land from the William Peyton tract. The land of William Peyton was surrounded by the tract of William Fleming on the north and west The 1500-acre Peyton tract straddled Floydıs Fork above it confluence with Broad Run. The south boundary of the square-shaped Peyton tract lay slightly north of Broad Run. The west boundary of the parcel touched on the tracts of William Paine and William Fleming, east of Big Run and paralleled, at a short distance away, the line that is now Bardstown Road. The present-day Fairmount Road, which runs east from Bardstown Road, approaches the center of the west boundary of the former Peyton tract at a point above where the road turns southeasterly after crossing Big Run. An unpaved road extending east from Fairmount Road, at this curve, apparently cuts into the central portion of the west half of the Peyton tract. The northeast corner of the tract must have been about where Seatonville is located today. The north boundary ran from there westward along, and north of, the east-west stretch of Floydıs Fork to a point near Big Run. It has not been determined precisely which part of the Peyton tract Adam and John Smith purchased from Squire Boone, but Adamıs probably was the land shown on the maps as belonging to B. Smith. B. Smith resided on a large tract west of Floydıs Fork and east of Big Run on the high ground between the streams. The north boundary of his land was about the same latitude as Floydıs Fork, where it turns abruptly from a westerly direction toward the south. The south boundary line was about where Turkey Run enters the east side of Floydıs Fork.[Note 47] Adam Smith died in 1813 and Polly Smith was his administrator. Peter Hayse, John Hause, Jacob Hause and William Hayse bought items at the estate sale of Adam Smith.[Note 48] Peter Hayes, son of George, died in Jefferson County before 26 October 1815 when an appraisal of his estate was made by James Guthrie, Samuel Miller and Benjamin Stafford. The inventory also was signed by the administrators, Elizabeth Hayes and Job Harryman, who also signed the sales report. Elizabeth Hayes probably was the widow of Peter Hayes since several articles on the subsequent report of sales of the personal property of Peter Hayes were noted as having gone to ³the Widow.² The appraisal and sales bill were not recorded until 09 March 1818. In addition to the widow, other purchasers included John Hayes, Absolem Chenoweth, William Hudgens, Arthur Chenoweth, Wm. L. Hays, Luther Martin, Charles R. Martin, Adam Smith and James Grimes.[Note 49] Peter Hayes owned half of the wood work of a wagon, valued at $6.87 1/2, which identifies him as being the son of George Hayes (Hayse) whose will contained a reference to a wagon owned jointly by his sons Peter and John. George Hayes, Jr. and John Hayes died before 13 November 1827 when their surviving children and heirs obtained quit claim deeds to the land that George, Jr. and John inherited from their father:[Note 50] This Indenture made this thirteenth day of November One thousand Eight hundred and twenty seven between William Timberlake and Sally W Timberlake his wife late Sally W Thompson daughter of Roger Thompson deceased of the County of Mercer in the State of Kentucky of the first part and William Hayes Sarah Murphey Peter Hayes Eve Hayes Gideon Hayes and Walter Hayes Children and Heirs of George Hays decd Who was a son of George Hays the elder decd. of the second part Witnesseth that the said parties of the first part for and in Consideration of the sum of One dollar Coin of the United States ... paid by the said parties of the second part ... and also for and in Consideration of the sum of One hundred and ten pounds Cash by the said George Hays the elder paid to the said Roger Thompson on the 8th day of December 1797 have ... sold ... unto the said parties of the second part ... 241 1/2 acres of land ...

The first was recorded on 08 January 1828 and the second was recorded on 25 January 1828. Also recorded with the deeds were surveyorıs plats outlining the division of the land of George Hayes, Sr. by his sons George, Jr. and John:[Note 51] The annexed is a platt of the lands of George Hays senr of the County of Jefferson and State of Kentucky comprised of the several purchase made by him the said George Viz 200 acres conveyed by the honorable William Fleming designated on the said platt by figure 1 and 16 acres conveyed by said Fleming designated on the platt by figures 1.12 -Also 241 1/2 acres conveyed by Roger Thompson designated on the platt by figures 2.2 And 20 acres purchased of Charles Harryman now deceased but no conveyance found for said 20 acres - The aforesaid are situate on Situate on the Waters of Floydıs fork and Cedar Creek -all which lands he the aid George Hayse senr. hath devised to his two sons George Hays and John Hays to be divided between them ... as they may think most convenient. -But they the said George Hays Junr and John Hays having advise that the division aforesaid be made and agreed to in the life time of their father the said George Hays senr have with the advise & direction of him the said George Hays Senr caused the surveyor of Jefferson County to divide the said lands by the blank lines ABCD and they the said George Hays Junr & John Hays do mutually consent & agree that the said George Hays Junr have all that part of the land Situate and binding on the south side of the blank lines ABCD & also that John Hays have all the lands Situate on the north side of the blank lines ABCD - The special metes & Bounds of his the said George Hays division are as follows Viz beginning at a redbud double sugartree and White Oak standing on the Side of a hill in the east line of the 241 1/2 acres as conveyed to George Hays by Roger Thompson at A on the platt and running with the said divisional line S85W 220 poles to a redbud & Water beech standing on each side of the road leading from Louisville to Bardstown at B on the plat thence with the road N15W 30 poles to C a White Oak and sugartree standing on the West side of said road thence S89W 226 poles to D a hickory and ash standing in the West line of the 200 acres conveyed by Fleming & also the East line of Mitchell & Wilsons 2000 acre survey thence with said line S1E 70 1/2 poles to a White Oak and dogwood in sd line & Corner to sd 200 acres thence With another line of the same N89E 247 poles to a White Oak standing on the West side of the aforesaid road thence S1E 43 poles to a stone south East Corner of said 241 1/2 acres thence N89E 110 poles to a beech thence S28W 41 po. to a hickory thence N89E 82 poles to a sugartree sapling thence N1W 118 po. & West two poles to a hickory Walnut and sugartree N1W 45 poles to the Beg.

Sarah Hayes (Hayse), daughter of George Hayes (Hayse), and Gabriel Murphy were married on 17 June 1815 in Jefferson County by Simeon Hall. William L. Hayes (Hayse) was surety on the bond which was dated 05 June 1815.[Note 52] George Hayes, Jr. was dead before 08 December 1823 when Gideon Hayes was appointed to be the administrator of his estate by the Jefferson County Court which ordered that an appraisement of the estate by Robert Welch, Thomas Graham, Job Harryman and George Finley. Welsh, Graham and Finley returned their report on 10 February 1824. The names Gideon Hayes, Rachel Hayes and Essey (Efey) Hayes were entered beside a number of articles which suggests that this property was in their possession.[Note 53] Either Rachel or Essy may have been his widow. Peter Hayes (Hause, Hawes) the elder apparently died in late 1820 or early 1821. His will was written on 19 July 1819 and proved in Jefferson County Court on 12 February 1821:[Note 54] In the name of God Amen: - I Peter Hawes of the County of Jefferson, State of Kentucky ... give and bequeath to my wife Hannah Hawes, one complete bed with all the furniture thereto belonging, one bureau and two hundred dollars now in the hands of Peter Funk & Co.

My plantation on which I now live, containing by estimate about three hundred and odd acres more or less, shall remain in the possession of my son Benjamine Hawes and Peter Omer(s) until the 1st day of April, 1821; during which time they shall receive all the rents and profits thereof to their own use. After the expiration of the said term my said plantation shall be sold by my Executors for the best price that can be got for the same ... the money ariseing out of the sale of my personal and real estate shall be devided in the following manner.

There is only one Peter Hawes, who must have been Peter the elder. Elizabeth Hays must have been the widow of Peter the younger:[Note 56] Elizabeth Hays 1 F 45+ 1 M 16-26 2 M 10-16 1 M -10 John Hawes 1 M 16-26 1 F 26-45 1 M 10-16 1 F 10-16 2 M -10 George Sinsley 1 M 45+ 1 F 26-45 1 M 16-26 1 F 16-26 1 M 10-16 1 F 10-16 1 M -10 2 F -10 Peter Hawes 1 M 45+ 1 F 45+ 2 M 26-45 2 F 16-26 2 M -10 2 F -10 John Hays 1 M 26-45 1 F 26-45 2 M 10-16 1 F 10-16 6 M -10 1 F -10 George Fendley 1 M 45+ 1 F 26-45 2 M 16-26 4 F -10 2 M 16-18 3 M 10-16 1 M -10 Richard Hawes 1M 45+ 2 F 26-45 1 M 26-45 2 F 16-26 2 M 16-26 1 F -10 2 M 16-18 2 M 10-16 1 M -10 James Hay 4 M 26-45 1 F 16-26 1 M -10 1 F 10-16 John H Finley 1 M 26-45 1 F 26-45 1 M -10 2 F -10 Jas Hays M 26-45 1 F -10 1 M 10-16 Isaac Hawes 1 M 45+ 1 F 26-45 1 F 16-26 With the exception of the marriage of Sarah Hayes and Gabriel Murphy, the early marriage records of Jefferson County are of no help in identifying the marriages of the children and grandchildren of George and Mary Hayes, although John Hawes who married Priscilla McKeaig may be one of them:[Note 57] Susannah Hawes Freeborn Jupin bond 15 Jul 1797 surety Peter Haus married 18 Jul 1797 by Henry Batdorff (The minister must have been Henry Pottorff) George Finly Mary Chenowith license 02 Oct 1797(?) married 17 Sep 1797(?) minister not shown Eliza Hause George Fenley license 17 Feb 1802 married 23 Feb 1802 by Charles Shirman John Hayse Priscilla McKeag bond 19 Mar 1802 witness Worden Pope surety Samuel McKeig married 23 Mar 1802 by Simeon Hall Cevilla Hauze Henry Thorn bond 15 Jan 1806 father Peter Hauze surety John Hauze married 21 Jan 1806 by Charles Shirman Melinda Hawes William Smith bond 24 May 1813 father Isaac Hawes surety Jesse Prewitt married 27 May 1813 wits Jas Gosney, John Miller, Mordecai Redd by Hinson Hobbs Jacob Hause Famy Aumer bond 01 Oct 1814 wit James Stewart surety Peter Ammer no marriage return (Names should be Fanny Omer and Peter Omer) John Barlene Sally Stafford bond 08 Aug 1814 surety John Hause father Benjamin Stafford married 08 Aug 1814 by James Vance (The name of John Hause also appeared as John Hyes in the bond) Hannah Hause George Seebolt bond 18 May 1815 father Peter Hause surety John Hause married 21 May 1815 by James Vance (The name of John Hause also appeared as John Hayse in the bond) Sarah Hayse Gabriel Murphy bond 05 Jun 1815 father George Hayse surety William L Hayse married 17 Jun 1815 by Simeon Hall Benjamin Hause Elizabeth Roach bond 12 Dec 1817 surety John Hause Jr father Jesse Roach decd no marriage return mother Hannah Roach Rebecca Hause Peter Omer bond 11 Apr 1818 father Peter Hause surety Benjamin Hause no marriage return wit Isaac H Tyler (The name of Peter Omer was also spelled Ammer in the bond) Samuel Hawes Sally Massie bond 5 Apr 1818 surety Robert Massie father Thomas Massie married 16 Apr 1818 wit Isaac H Tyler by James Vance Lucy Hause Alfred Gosney license 11 May 1818 father Isaac Hawes married 14 May 1818 by Benjamin Allen Elizabeth F Hawes Thomas Enoches bond 17 Oct 1821 father Isaac Hawes surety Stephen W Calloway married 24 Oct 1821 wits James Gosney, John Colyer, Stephen W Calloway by Joel Hulsey John Hawes Nancy Baxter bond 04 Mar 1824 surety Samuel Baxter father Samuel Baxter married 04 Mar 1824 wit Robert Tyler DC JCC by Daniel C Banks (The name of John Hawes was also spelled as Hause) John Hawes and Nancy Baxter appear to have been residents of Jefferson County in 1850, where they lived in dwelling 362, one residence away from Elizabeth Hawes who may have been his mother. Elizabeth was living in dwelling 364 with Margaret Douglas who may have been a widowed daughter without children at home:[Note 58] John Hawes 48 M Farmer born PA Nancy Hawes 43 F KY (4 children) Margaret Douglas 43 F born PA Elizabeth Hawes 70 F PA If these birthplaces are correct, this family did not come to Kentucky from Pennsylvania until after 1807.

The appearance of John A. Hays as surety on marriage bonds suggests a familial relationship with either the bride or groom:[Note 60] Mary Curry William H Archer bond 30 Nov 1846 mother Sarah Curry surety John A Hays married 31 Dec 1846 by George W Crumbaugh Eliza Martin Wilford D Stephens bond 09 Jan 1849 widow Jefferson Martin surety John A Hays married 14 Jan 1849 by George L Rogers Amelia Farmer Thomas Ash bond 02 Apr 1849 mother Mary Farmer surety John A Hays married 05 Apr 1849 by Robert Gailbreath John Hays Mary A Dwyer bond 13 Jan 1846 surety M Murphy married 13 Jan 1846 by J McGill Mary Farmer probably was Mary Hayes Farmer, daughter of John Hayes. M. Murphy may have been a son of Gabriel Murphy and Sarah Hayes who were married in 1815. Magdalena Hays who married Samuel Smith on 01 June 1776 in Pennsylvania[Note 61] may have been related to George Hayes, perhaps even his daughter, and Samuel Smith may have been a sibling of Adam Smith who married Mary Catherine Hayes.

ADDENDA: There was a Jacob Hoss who married Mary Boone, daughter of Michael Boone, who lived and died on his farm in the Mt. Pleasant district of Frederick County, Maryland, where the old stone barn he built was still standing in 1922. Jacob and Mary Boone Hoss went to Washington County in east Tennessee, about 1780. There they raised a large family, of which two sons have been identified: Henry Hoss, who married Mary Blackburn, had nine children and was a learned man and a citizen of great usefulness and influence; Isaac Hoss, the youngest child, who was in the War of 1812, when he was held prisoner for some time in a Canadian prison, and died while still a young man, leaving a son. Michael Boone, who was said to have been the son of George Boone, was of a large family of brothers and sisters, some of whom were: Joseph, James, John, Isaac, and girls who married into the Witt, Snyder and Ely families of North Carolina, and later of Indiana and Ohio. His place in the family of George Boone III and Mary Milton, who came to Pennsylvania from Devonshire, England, has not been determined. Jacob Hoss may have been the son of Johannes Hoss who came to Philadelphia on The Snow Louisa in 1754.
