Harmon Hays and Elizabeth Cage Hays:
Had 7 Children:
1) * John Hays ( Jack Hays Texas Ranger) 1817-1883
Jack Hays was born 28 January 1817 at Cedar Lick in Wilson County, Tennessee. By the age of fifteen he had moved to Mississippi and began to learn surveying. By mid-1836 Hays was in Texas where he joined a Ranger company under Erastus "Deaf" Smith. He took part in a skirmish with the Mexican Cavalry and assisted in the capture of Juan S?nchez. He was appointed deputy surveyor of the Bexar District. Hays combined his knowledge of Indian warfare with his rangering. John Coffee Hays helped to forge the legend of what a Texas Ranger was. Arriving in Texas in 1836 but just missing the famous battles of the Texas Revolution, nineteen-year-old Hays soon had Sam Houston urging him to join a new group of Rangers.
Jack Hays m. Susann Calvery 1847 Had 3 Daughters and 3 Sons
In 1840, Hays was appointed a captain of the Rangers. He proved himself to be a fearless fighter and a good leader of men. John Coffee Hays, known all his life as Jack, most of his adult life as Captain Jack, was born January 28th, 1817 in Little Cedar Lick, Tennessee. (Now is Nashville.) When he died on San Jacinto Day in 1883, he was one of the largest land-holders and wealthiest men in California. With his will, he gave much of his ranch to California. The Hays Ranch became the University of California at Berkeley. Yellow Fever took both of Jack?s parents in 1832. He and his siblings were parceled out among relatives. Jack and a younger brother and sister ended up with Uncle Robert Cage in Yazoo, Mississippi. And Jack was unhappy. He had to leave Nashville?s Davidson Academy, where he was the fastest runner and best horseman. Kindly old Uncle Robert wanted to make him a storekeeper. Note: "John C. Hays, known in Texas as Jack Hays, was born at Little Cedar Lick, Wilson County, Tennessee, on January 28, 1817. He was from the same section of the country as the McCullochs, Sam Houston, and Andrew Jackson, and was the same adaptable sort of person. Jack's father, Harmon Hays, fought with Jackson and named his son for General John Coffee, one of Jackson's trusted officers. Hays came to Texas in 1837 or in the early part of 1838--then about 21 years of age--and took up his residence at San Antonio. Some accounts say that he joined the Texas Rangers and fought Indians and Mexicans under Deaf Smith and Henry W. Karnes

3) John Hays 1756 (John1, John2) The Hays Family of Breathitt County is one of the first groups of white people to ever settle in this section of Eastern Kentucky. Family tradition has it that William Hays ?? (2nd known generation), and his family from Rockbridge County, Virginia came to Eastern Kentucky in the year 1791. They settled on Holly Creek in that part of Madison County, Kentucky which later became Breathitt County (1839) and today is located in eastern Wolfe County. William was the Grandson of old John Hays ??(1st known generation) of Virginia who served in the Virginia Militia during the French and Indian War (1754-1763). His father was married to Nancy Jane Wood, the daughter of Lysander and Elias Wood of North Carolina.

Information on Nathaniel Hays and his neighbor to the south Samuel Hays and his neighbor to the north of Hugh Hays. Jackson ended up with the entire 640-acre preemption NC Land Grants of Nathaniel and Hugh Hays and a section of Samuel Hays' 640-ac preemption NC Land Grant
as well, where the Hermitage is now. His house, including the famous Hermitage Mansion, the Hermitage Church, and Andrew Jackson Donelson?s Tulip Grove Mansion, is all located on Nathaniel Hays' original land Grant. It has been determine through research and land deeds, that Hugh Hays was living in Greene County, TN when he sold his 640-acres land grant to William Donelson & Andrew Jackson in 1795-96. (They bought it for William's brother and Andrew' business partner Samuel Donelson--Rachel Jackson's Brother, to Move to so he could be closer to the family ?NOTE: The evidence proves that Andrew Jackson
Built the original log Hermitage "from scratch" in The summer of 1804, Nevertheless, it is proven by land deeds, that the Hays family owned the land that became the Hermitage is very important to my project and the story completion.
