I am searching for information on James Thomas Hays b:1834-39 in Vermillion Co. Ill. m: Bettie Elizabeth Kindred Aug. 6, 1863 in Wilson Co. Tn.
They had 5 children: Cora L.(1864), Benjamin Franklin,(1871), Thomas S.(1875), Joseph M. and Jeff D. .
On 1880 census James said his Father was from Va. and his Mother from Oh.
Bettie was b:abt. 1845 in Wilson Co. Tn. to Thomas S. Kindred and Sarah Y. Duncan.
James and Bettie left Tn. and moved to Limestone Co. Tx. in 1870-71 where he worked as a Blacksmith then moved to Garland, Dallas Co., Tx. abt 1889-90 where he died in 1920.
James served in the C.S.A. during the Civil War from April 25, 1861 to Dec. 1865 in the 1st Spec. Batt'n(Wheats) La. Inf.,( TIGER RIFLE'S LA. VOLs)
