Although it has been a long time since you made the posts to which I am responding, I'm hoping that you will see this, regarding a 2002 query about Hiram HAYES (to which I responded) and your 2004 post regarding the 1916 Mt. Joy school picture. I have taken the liberty to scroll through the index to your other Genforum posts and believe we are definitely looking for affliated families.
I am more certain now, than previously, that the Hiram HAYES you queried is the brother of my great grandfather, John Wesley HAYES born Wayne County Tennessee 1851, John and his brother Hiram married sisters, the daughters of James W GRIMES and his wife Vady VINCENT Grimes in Lewis County TN. The oldest, Hulda, was my greatmother . Her sister Laurany (Lou, Lauraney) was Hiram's wife. Hiram died in 1915 I believe and was buried in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery.
I was very excited about the name Mrs. Shelton HAYES in the Mt. Joy school photo until I realized, not only was the timing wrong, I was mixing up my HAYES names. One of John and Hiram's sisters was Mary HAYES who married first Shelton ALLEN. You can see where I mixed up the names. I got interested once more while scrolling through your message index and found the surname AMIS. It seems that after Shelton's death Mary Hayes Allen married second a gentleman identified as B. AMOS/AMIS.
Another sister, Sarah Jane HAYES might be the Janes HAYES that married William BROWN. Although I see this name in your posts, your William Brown appears to be too old to be the gentleman that my Sarah Jane would have married.
Scrolling through your surname list I see MANY names with whom my family was assosciated both in Lewis, Lawrence and Maury Counties, Tennesse and also in Ellis County Texas. My mother was born and raised in the Ovilla Community and her sister married first a CAVENDER and then a BAILEY. I have a cousin, actually my Mother's contemporary in age, that still lives in the OVILLA/RED OAK area. Additionally, my great grandfather John W. HAYES migrated to Ellis County TX in the mid to late 1880s and. following Hulda's death, married second, Mary Elizabeth CAVENDER.
I would love to explore where our lines might touch.
Thanks
Marcia
