Just a correction to the earlier false trail I was following. Believe now that the Rev.
Enoch Hayes of Alabama was the father of the Enoch, Jesse, and Mary Elizabeth who travel
to Rusk co, TX.
Rev. Enoch Hayes (b. 1791, d. 1853 Autauga co, AL) married Rebecca Clark in Jasper co, GA
26 April 1810. An early article in the periodical Alabama Baptist quotes Enoch Hayes
recounting a tale of finding his 9 children and wife under a tree after a tornado.
It appears Rev. Enoch Hayes also had a brother called Jesse.
The probate records (Nov 01 1857) for the younger Enoch Hayes who ran the ferry at Camden,
TX can be found at the Rusk county courthouse. Jesse was appointed administrator.
Still searching for additional documentation and to confirm other HAYES children in Bibb
co, Perry co, Autauga co..
