I worked for years on Miami Co., Ind. and on neighboring counties since
Macy was near two others.  I did find JOHN NEWTON HAYS in Montgomery
Co., but I didn't find any HAYS in Miami Co.  We have the 1830 census of
Montgomery Co.  so I searched it for a JOHN or WM.  I found JOHN, GOERGE
and SAMUEL HAYS but these are common names.  The sons of JOSEPH
HAYS, by that name, disappeared from Warren Co., O. after the 1820
census.  SAMUEL HAYS m. SYTHIA BUNNELL and GEO HAYS m. MARY NOGGLE.

Went to Crawfordsville, Montgomery Co. seat,.. .   . found SAMUEL HAYS &
wife 'SITHA'. . .right track.  Found Administration of Estate of GEORGE
HAYS naming widow MARY.. . .never found JOHN or BETSEY. He was a bit
older than his brothers and in 1850 is living in Union twp., Montgomery
Co.. Ind. with another wife named MARTHA.  SAMUEL & SYTHIA and
GEORGE'S WIDOW, MARY, are there too.  Next I found the marriages of
JOHN and BETSEY'S CHILDREN.  According to early census, JOHN & BETSY
had other sons, about 3 more.
