James* H. Hayes, Sr

Other Events and Attributes:

• Census: 07 Aug 1820, Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana; b.d. 1776-1794
• Census: 1830, Bayou D'arbonne, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana; b.d. 1781-1790
• Residence: Between 1831 and 1836, Jefferson Co, Texas; Mexican government
• Residence: Between 1836 and 1837, Jefferson Co, Texas; Republic of Texas

Notes:

Birth:
Suggestion that he was b after children bt on 4 Jun 1797, Susanne, Amelia, Wm & Jacob. Jacob last of those 4 b 1794. However if b aft 1797 - we have Catherine b 1797 - would have to be after her making him too young to have his first child Amelia b 1813.

His wife Marie Johnson b 1796 (confirmed as bt at 7 y-o in 1803. making her 17 to have first child - marrying at age 16. I can't see him younger than that.

It's reasonable that a 12 y-o would not be bt with younger siblings. They were "grown up" quite young and he any number of reasons why not with the others. But granted, I need to study the 1810 census. If b 1785, in 1810 would be 25 and gone.

followup - his age group:
1810 b.d. 1795-1800 10 to 15
1820 b.d. 1776-1794 26-44
1830 b.d. 1781-1790 40-49

we had recaluclated him to be 1795 to accomodate 1810.
1820 fits, almost - by one year - or a few months
her b.d. is definite, and she was not categorized correctly
1830, by then maybe he guessed and could easily be off 5 yrs. Conclusion: 1795 is reasonable.

" To the Honorable Judge of the parish of St. Landry, in the Territory of Orleans. The petition of George Forman Humbly showeth that on the twenty third day of Sept. 1807, William Hays of this parish in the presence of John Adam did
maliciously injure your petitioner and endeavor to deprive your petitioner of that good reputation he has always supported__ by saying that your petitioner has kild a Spanyard at the Natchez and that your petitioner had stolen hogs__to the damage of your petitioner___Five thousand dollars--Your petitioner knowing himself Clear of these Charges and having always supported the reputation of an honest citizen--and being charged with a family of children and not wishing to say under such an appolation--as it might in future be cast up to his offsprings--your petitioner prays your Honour to have the said William Hays to appear before your Honour on the Second Monday in Oct. next, to prove the charges exhibited against your petitioner, and your petitioner will win pray____"

PETITION BY THE ENGLISH INHABITANTS OF THE NATCHEZ AREA IN 1779
TO THE BRITISH

Sir
Natches January 17. 1779
TO HIS EXCELLENCY GOVERNOR CHESTER

We, His Majesty's Dutiful and Loyal Subjects, Inhabitants of the Natches, beg leave to acknowledge our sincere and hearty thanks for your Excellency's great care and attention to this District and the various measures from time to time adopted for the Defense thereof by which means our Enemies are, and have been, much awed by this part of the Country protected and defended and our property safely preserved and kept from such fate as hath been often devised and decreed against it. Permit us to assure your Excellency that our weak endeavors were ever exerted, never failing to assemble on all occasions when called upon by Colonel Hutchins, who on alarms hath often required our attendance, and the same Loyal Principles we hope will ever govern us to act with spirit in the future on such emergencies. You also have our thanks for appointing him to preside here, who is more likely than any other person yet offered to defend this District, to be useful in other respects and to yield a general satisfaction to our most virtuous inhabitants.

We do also most heartily thank the Honorable Colonel John Stuart, ESQ.. for the aid of his Loyal Refugees under Captain Jackson's command who have been very useful to us. And also for the Company under the command of Captain William Mcintosh,
lately arrived, and hope they will be of no less service. And as it is reported by Captain Mcintosh and William Bethune that Indians are to be sent here, we do most ardently beg and request that no such may ever appear amongst us under the name of a
defense, as most of us are too well acquainted with the Indians to put the least confidence in them. And as we conceive that would be as useless and burdensome at this time as those heretofore sent to the District. What more, therfore, can we expect of
them now than at that time can they answer any other purpose than to Destroy the province that ought to support and sustain this Post, and to keep us in bodily fear.

The Indians formerly sent here was a reason why many People and families left their Habitations. But another such visit forced upon us, we fear, will add to an unhappiness and too, probably to the Country's desolation. And we, a Loyal people, why then shall we be forced to leave our settlement and fly to a Despotick Dominion.

We are informed of a report in Pensacola, that the Inhabitants of this District whose cattle have been slaughtered for the support of the Troops and the Indians, were contented with the price of five dollars per hundred, which report we declare to be exceeding wrong and that we have always thought, and yet think it ought not to be less than six Dollars and a Quarter and hope that price will be made good to those Injured people whose Beeves have converted to the King's use at an under rate.

We beg leave to wish Your Excellency the Compliments of the season, with perfect health, length of days, long to preside and your Administration happy under the auspicious reign of our rightful Sovereign, inthroned on a Glorious Constitution; is the prayer of.

Sir Your most Devoted and Obedient Humble Servants:

To His Excellency Governor Chester

Census:
Family outline of his son William III indicates a male over 45. This is probably him. It would not be Sarah's father as he had died in Virginia.


Research Notes:
Was William "Guillermo" Hayes, really the son of the Chester County William Hayes?
Gleaning from Internet, some say William of Chester had a son born 8-8-1733 but I found no sources for this birth. William of Chester had a will written in 1770s, executed in 1780s, and named some if not all children and grandchildren of deceased children. It did not mention a William. William of Chester had been in Chester as early as 1707 or 1710 when his father moved there. The family were Quakers. He briefly lived in Delaware, (east of Chester Co) in 1764 but returned to Chester Co.

William "Guillermo" records (source?) say he was born "about 1730," a native of Halifax and a Presbyterian. Halifax, Dauphin County, is about 85 miles to the west of Chester County. That is the only reference to William "Guillermo" being in Halifax. He is next found in Fairfax County, Virginia when he married in 1753 and then witnessed the will of his wife's stepmother in 1754.

If nothing else, William "Guillermo" is "by tradition" son of William of Chester, but I can find no proof. However, there is no proof he's not. What is the source that he was a native of Halifax? Could have just lived in Halifax before going to Fairfax. If he is indeed son of William of Chester, he could have set out to Halifax as a young man and then went south to Fairfax by the time he was either 20 or 23. Probably not uncommon for men to set out on their own at 18 or 19 years old. He was Presbyterian. Did he simply convert from being raised a Quaker? If so, was he estranged from his family and that's why he left and was omitted from the will? Was it because he was too far away by the time of his father's will? By that time he had moved from Fairfax further south and was established in Natchez before moving to Louisiana.

William* married Sarah* Celeste Bosman in 1753 in Fairfax Co, Virginia. Sarah* (daughter of Thomas* Bosman (Bozman) and Mary* Key) was born on 20 Mar 1734 in Fairfax Co, Virginia; died in 1788 in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

By Henry Chandlee Forman, Ph.D.
The Formans of England-
For more than six hundred years, from the earliest records of the family in Lincolnshire, England, to the present day, the spelling of the name Forman has been unchanged. In 1316 land in Lincolnshire was granted to one Ralph Forman; in 1373 Thomas Forman, and 1375 Robertus Forman, a juror, were inhabitants of this county. In the Lincolnshire Rebellion of 1536 Robert Forman gave five marks to the rebels.[Lincolnshire Notes and Queries, vol. 11, p. 249; vol. 18, p. 58; Linc. Rec. Soc. vol. 30, pp. 77, 87, 227]. All through the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries there were Formans living in England, chiefly in Lincolnshire, according to the records.
The most distinguished member of the family seems to have been Sir William Forman, Knight, Lord Mayor of London, a native of Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. He was the son of William Forman, a yeoman of Gainsborough. His sister, Elizabeth Forman, married Morice Morgan.
Sir William Forman was Knighted on October 18, 1537, and was an Alderman in Parliament form Cripplegate Ward in the City of London from 1529 to 1545. He was High Sheriff of London in 1533 and Lord Mayor from 1538 to 1539. During a Muster of Citizens in 1539 he rode in a procession and carried a coat of black velvet embroidered with a cross; on his head was a black velvet cap with a rich jewel; and about him rode four footmen apparelled in satin hose and fine white silk.
By trade Sir William Forman was a haberdasher. In 1544 he, with others, leased from King Henry VIII the Manor of Tullesworth in Surrey. In the same year, on August 30, he married Blanche Palmer, a widow, of London. He died on January 13, 1547, and was buried in the Church of Saint George, Botolph Lane, in East Cheapside, London. A monument was erected there to his memory.
His great grandson, Robert Forman went to Amersterdam and received the Charter for Flushing, New Amersterdam, which is now Queens, New York. The Forman family flurished and soon spread to New Jersey, Pennsylvannia, Virginia, and Kentucky. They followed the migration patterns to North and South Carolina and on down to Louisiana and Mississippi Territories.
In the Natchez area, they formed the Forman Colony, and brought the first four-wheeled cart to the Mississippi Territory.
The Spanish Census of 1790 shows George "Jorge" Forman and family next to William "Guillermo" Irwin. They were settled on the Sara Bayou and Coles Creek area.

Notes for EDWARD FORMAN:
On Oct. 16, 1779 after raids by so-called patriot, John Willing, into the British West Florida settlements of Natchez, Baton Rouge and Manchac, Edward Forman and 18 others signed oaths of allegiance to the "United Independent States of North America" in the presence of Capt. Pickles who had captured the British armed vessel on Lake Ponchartrain.
"We whose names or marks are here unto set and subscribed, being settlers and inhabitants on Lake Ponchartrain between the Bayou La Combe and the River Tanchipaho, do herby acknowlege ourselves to be natives as well as true and faithful subjects to the United Independent States of North America.
An whereas on the tenth day of last month, William Pickles, captain of the navy of the said States, did arrive in this lake and made prize of the English armed sloop, West Florida, wh had kept possession of the lake for near two years before, and the said William Pickles, Esquire, did on the twenty first of the same month, land some of his people, and take possession of this settlement and gave us all the protection against indians and others that his force would admit of, and suffered us to remain on our possessions till further orders; we, therefore, consider ourselves belonging to the said States, and are willing to remain here and enjoy our property and priviledges under them, the said United States. October 16, 1779."

Occupation:
August 18 1758, Noted in South Caroline Gazette as 'master of the Brig Pretty Peggy'(From further research- which was found on a Google search and one for the "Clark Family"(clark@ems.psu.edu), I found this Edward Foreman, born 1717 at Margate Kent, England. Died on Ship "Pretty Peggy 1759 at the age of 42. - Another entry, his father: John Foreman b. 1616 Margate Kent, England; d. January 1760(84 yrs) buried 25 January 1760). Perhaps this is the same John Foreman who brought prisoners, bonded people, etc from Ipswich England to the Colonies-as noted in many entries of the Ship Henry & Francis-Including Scots who had been convicted mainly because of their religious beliefs.)
In 1685 there is a posting of the Ship Henry and Francis of NewCastle bringing in Passengers to Perth Amboy, NJ mid December 1685-Included on the list is a John Foreman who was banished.

re: Bosman Hayes
Here is the first set of documents on Foreman that I have. They were used as proof in a DAR application, so they are solid. Marie Bonet's name is spelled Burnett, but the earliest documents we saw all had it spelled Bonet. They were Galvez papers and there were a lot of Bonets listed including her father. I don't seem to have copied any of that - actually, I don't think they would let us copy it with a copier, and we were short on time for having them copy it however they would copy it. I think it was a matter of several days to have them do it and we were going home before they could get it done now that I think about it. It sounded to us like the Bonets had been in LA for a very long time, too. I may see if I can get it copied and mailed to me next time I go up. I hope to go this spring at some point. I haven't been up since Thanksgiving.

an Ezekiel Forman entered Natchez in 1790, along with a Eusebio Bushnell in his party. Also in that party was Jacobo Huffman - most probably father of David Huffman who married Clark - whose mother was Robert. Robert's sister Nancy Robert m Green who was also from Natchez. Perry is another one whose family intermarried into this line, and arrived in Natchez at this time


AMERICANS ARRIVING in SPANISH-HELD NATCHEZ 1788-1790

*These reports were written by a Spanish officer, Carlos de Grand Pre to Governor Estevan Miro; therefore many of the names are in SPANISH or a PHONETIC attempt to convert the name to Spanish. Some are in English. The term "settler" means those with intent to settle the district. In 1788, a royal order encouraged American immigration and trade, and colonist began arriving in larger numbers than ever before. Few of these arrived via the land route, however; most arrived on flatboats, coming down the Mississippi. The majority came from Kentucky. Many settled in what would become Adams, Amite, Claiborne, Franklin, Jefferson and Wilkinson counties. List taken from records in the MS Dept. of Archives and History, Jackson MS.

_
From a family history authored by George Eleazer Bushnell of Nashville in 1945 and now available online (see pp. 227-28), we learn a little about the adventurous E. Bushnell who sent the missive back east:

*432. Eusebius, b. Norwich, Conn. 1 Feb. 1748, bapt. 12 Feb. 1749, d. in Florida about 1812, m. 13 Sept. 1772, Borodel Latimer, b. New London, Conn. 12 Apr. 1755, d. before 1792, dau. of Jonathan and Lucretia (Griswold) Latimer, m. 2nd, Opelousis, La. 23 Apr. 1792, Margerit (or Margaret) McCarty, dau. of Juan and Margaret (Maklein) Makarti, and widow of Baron Patricio (R-109).
Eusebius Bushnell, probably m. at Lyme, Conn. where his first two children were bapt. served as Capt. in Rev. War in Lt. Col. Experience Storr's Regt. at New York in Fall of 1776, June 1777 appeared before the Norwich Court as Capt. Eusebius Bushnell of Lyme, Conn. and accepted office of Exec. of the est. of his brother Ezra, who had dec'd. He probably removed to Norwich as here his son Ezra was bapt. in the Christ Episcopal Church in 1778 and on 30 Sept. 1782, he brought his children Lucretia and Matthew to be bapt. in the church at Great Barrington, Mass. In 1786 he was in Nashville, Tenn. (then North Carolina), where he was a witness in a case, and signed some papers, and on 29 Dec. 1785 he was appointed as one of three Commissioners to examine into claims of soldiers and sailors residing in the district, and in 1787 the grand jury of Davidson County, presented to the court at Nashville, James Hickman, Thomas Bradford, and Joseph Brooks for disorderly conduct in throwing down Capt. Eusebius Bushnell and breaking open Squire Nichol's door (R-110), between 15 Dec. 1786 and 20 Jan. 1789, he bought and traded land grants under the firm name of Dobbins and Bushnell (R-111), and of 28 Aug. 1789, he bought three negro slaves, perhaps to act as porters on his trek over the Natches Trace to New Orleans, La. He acquired lands in Florida under a Spanish land Grant, afterwards confirmed by the U.S. Government as shown in Reports of Land Grants, Claims in Florida, 'Wusebius Bushnell vs. United States, memorial dated 13 Mar. 1799 for 600 acres, also decree of Gov. White for same dated 1799." "It appears in evidence that the claimant was in possession of the land in the year 1803, that his son was killed in 1800 or 1801, and that the claimant died in the year 1812. The board ordered the claim of 600 acres be confirmed to the unknown heirs, and their heirs, as far as the U.S. have interest in the same."

SWLR-1750-1800, p. 324 by Hebert
Text: FORMAN, Catherine - Calvinist (Edward & Marie Bosnell-Bushnel), m. 11 June 1793 Thomas Laughlin - a Calvinist, of Virginia(Thomas & Esther Forman) Wits: Andre Mondon, Peter McNeal, William Hayse, Jr. Fr. Pedro de Zamora(OpelCh.: v1-A,p.44)

Looking at who Wm Hayes Jr, who witnessed this in relation - his son Wm III
is Marie Forman. So, it makes sense that Catherine is his dau-in-law's sister and
he witnessed the marriage. He also witnessed the marriages of Mary, Jenny and Elizabeth Forman.

Mary m 1784 (to his son James Hayes)
Jenny m 1788
Eliz m 1790
Catherine m 1793

The records say Catherine is dau of Bosnell - not Burnett.
Looking at the two names B o s n e l l
I am coming to the theory that she is indeed Burnett -- and possibly Burnett is not the correct name. But the writing could easily be B -- then the O not fully closed - -making it look like a U -- the R could easily be mistaken for an S in script if it again was left open. -- Ns match -- Es match -- then the LL or TT -- if TT's not crossed or the line too far above the lines -- could easily be interpreted as LL.

I'd like to know if there are any other references to Bosnell -- I don't know of any. I do know there were a couple of other spelling variations of Burnett i.e., Bournet - Burnet, etc.

I feel good enough about this to make those notations and move Catherine back to Sr. and go with the theory that Bosnell is indeed Burnett - or vice versa. Possibly the name Burnett should have been Bosnell all along, but I think they're one and the same married to Edw Sr. The challenge is to figure out the proper name. If they are the same -- then she's my direct ancestor; so that's a little more motivation to solve this question.

marriage
?After studying out Edward Sr and the children, and their children, with dates we know and estimating from that the ones we don't, I believe that Marie Bosnell, mother of Catherine, is the wife of Edw Jr. Catherine's b.d. is more applicable to Jr. than to Sr. Marie Burnett had a child after Catherine's birth, so another reason to suspect the Hebert Records meant Edward Jr. and Marie Bosnell.

Gut feeling and logic is telling me that Catherine is child of Edw Jr. and Edw Jr. was m1 to Boswell and m2 to Perry. This negates nothing solid that we have - we only have except speculation anyway. We've all assumed that the Edw who married Rascoe and Burnett is the same as the Edw of Edw & Bosnell, but there is nothing that backs up that speculation. Hebert did document an Edw was m to Burnett & Ravcoe but he did not document a marriage of Edw & Boswell except in the m record of Catherine. I think that's the only mention of her -- is it?

Of Edw Jr's children,
If Julia (1789) and Nathan (1793) are not Nancy Perry's and IF Jr. m Bosnell c 1775 in order to have Catherine in 1776,
then we've got a chronology of Edw Jr:
b 1749 VA
m Boswell c 1775 (age 26) (father is in either FL or Lake Ponch here)
Catherine b 1776 (age 27)
large gap here -- maybe even another wife inserted here??? this time period incl father Edw Sr migrations from 1779 Lake Ponch, 1785 Bayou Chicot, & move to Opel 1785 to Opel -- so, assuming Jr. stayed w/ Sr.
Julia b 1789 (age 40)
Nathan b 1793 (age 44)
Rachel m 1797 (age 48)
married Nancy Perry 1798 (age 49)
Isaac b 1799 (age 50)

Name: William Everett 
Given Name: William 
Surname: Everett 
Sex: M 
Birth: Abt 1690 in Nansemond County, Virginia, Formed 1643 (Now City Of Suffolk) 
Death: in Martin County, North Carolina Formed 1774 From Halifax And Tyrrell Counties
 
The 1704 Virginia Quit Rent Roll listed Simon Everett in Isle of Wight County and William Everett in Nansemond County. When Bob Everett's ancestor Simon Everett bought land in NC, he said he was "of Nansemond County, Virginia." The William Everett family who moved from Nansemond to Martin County in the 1730's had strong Turner connections. Wills and deeds prove that William Everett married Sarah Speir, daughter of physician James Speir (see below) of Nansemond Co, VA. Sarah and William Everett named a son James, probably after Sarah's father. They also named a son Samuel Turner Everett. Sarah and William Everett's daughter Sarah married John Pollard. Sarah and John Pollard named one son Everett Pollard and one son Turner Pollard. I would guess that either William Everett's mother was a Turner or that Sarah Speir's mother was a Turner.

The 1704 quit rent roll for Isle of Wight County, Virginia listed Henry Turner. No Turners appeared in the Nansemond list.

It appears Mary was Key. Martha Key Littlejohn-Lillard was nee Key and called her sister. Other family connections seem to prove that out.

notes from previous speculation on Mary's last name.
She could be possibly Mary Lilliard, per Lois Culver. Or she could be Mary Frances Cofer who died 1754 in Truro Parish, Fairfax, VA, the dau of Henry Cofer who died in 1796 in Prince Georges Co, MD. Mary Cofer & Mary Love both died in 1754. Love is assumed as her last name because of references in her will.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Will: 12 Dec 1790, Martin Co (prev Halifax Co), North Carolina

Notes:

Judah Burnett had brothers James Burnett, Matthew Burnett Jr, John Burnett, and sisters Mary, married to _____ Forman, Jean, married to _____ Ballentine, and Elizabeth, married
to _____ Ballard. All sisters were married by the end of 1790 (Martin Co will book B1,page 216). An executor and witness of the 3 February 1773 will in Martin Co of the John
Hynes will (Book B1, page 437) were Judah's brothers James and John. Therefore, they were probably born by 1750. John Burnett was also an executor of the 1781 will of Henry
Culpepper, while Judah Cherry was a witness.

In the 1785 Martin Co state census Matthew Burnett was living in district 7 (with one son under age 21, and three females in the house).

James Burnett (with four sons under 21, and four females) and John Burnett (with one son under 21, eight females, and seven slaves) lived nearby, close to Jonathan Cherry and
Ephraim Burnett (who had three females in his house).

The only Ballard families in district 7 (the Burnett families were only in district 7, the Halifax end of Martin Co) were Elias Ballard, (over the age of 60, with three females); Elisha Ballard (with two sons under age 21, two females, and seven slaves); and Jesse Ballard, living alone. There were no Foreman or Ballentine families. This information about the Burnett families helps to establish that most, if not all of Judah's siblings, were well established by 1785, many with children, and therefore were likely born by 1750, or before. The families of John, Matthew (with Ballard next door), James, and Ephraim Burnett were still in the area near Jonathan Cherry in 1790.
