Hays Family Information

Maryland Genealogical Bulletin. (Vol. 8 No. 1 Dated January 1937 Whole No. 29) It is edited by Robert F. Hayes and contributed by Miss Varina D. Hanna.
It lists the children of Thomas and Mary LeMaistre Hays,
and by Mary Hays (dau of Thomas and Mary Hays) states that she married Charles Busey.

Below that it states "Other daughters mentioned but not by name."

It goes on to read:

Thomas, Nathaniel, Charles, Jeremiah, William and John Hays with their
sister Mary Hays Busey and LeMaster kindred about 1738 went into the
wilderness of upper Prince George Co. as pioneers.

Hays Family

Prince George's County then embraced all Western Maryland. At Bethesda,
Montgomery County just outside the District of Columbia on the
Frederick Pike there is a statue to the heroic women and children who
went into the frontier wilderness in the 18th Century. The Hays family
settled on Senaca Creek and its branches not far from Little Monocacy River
near Sugar Loaf Mountain in what is now a most beautiful and smiling country.
Their descendants became substantial and well known citizens of the
counties into which the original Prince George County was divided
-Frederick, in 1748 Washington and Montgomery in 1776. Source Link

In 1971 Arnold Edmund Hayes authored an article on the Hayes family published in Historical Southern Families, Vol. 15. It has been found to contain multiple errors and bad family connections. As a result, the Hayes line has suffered because of the overreliance on information from that article.

For instance: This Thomas Hayes is not the son of a Thomas Hayes of Virginia who hid in Maryland because he was wanted for partaking in Bacon's Rebellion. The historical record does not show any Thomas Hayes being associated with Nathaniel Bacon, nor is there evidence of one fleeing Virginia to hide in Maryland, where he supposedly had a child. That article wrongfully argues that this Thomas is the child.

Also, Thomas Hayes of Northumberland, Virginia, son of Thomas and Prudence Hayes is not the same as this Thomas. That Thomas died in Virginia in 1717, and his father died in 1676, making it impossible for this Thomas to be his son

Another Example: Nor is there evidence of a Peter Hayes the Envoy in colonial Virginia. Peter Hay the Envoy settled in Barbados where he died and had zero ties to the Virginia Hayes.

Also note: that in an Aug 6 1736 deposition Thomas Hays signed it with his mark

If Thomas Hayes was of noble birth, as some genealogist in the past had argued due to his connections to "the Envoy", he would have not signed with a mark.

Right now the parents of Thomas Hays of St. Mary's/ Charles County remains unknown. See Early Colonial Settlers of Southern Maryland and Virginia's Northern Neck Counties who also agree with my assessment. https://www.colonial-settlers-md-va.us/getperson.php?personID=I019419&tree=Tree1
