1796: Spons: bt of Rachel Andrus (James & Louise Hayes) 2 Oct 1796, "her maternal uncle" in Opel.

1807: It appears that George Foreman was very careful of his "good name" and reputation as he once filed suit against William Hays for defamation and slander. Here is the suit filed by George Forman:
" 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____"
signed George Forman
By Stephen Forman: I have a copy of the handwritten petition, purchased at Opelousas Court house.

William and Sarah were married by 1753 as they are mentioned as husband and wife in Thomas Bozman's will which bears that date.

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:

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.

Dear Linda:

"Ann Woodworth and George James declared their intentions of marriage at
Chester Monthly Meeting 6th months 27 and 7th month 26th 1698, and were,
doubtless, married soon after the last date. Their residence was in
Springfield Township, Chester (now Delaware) County, where George died in
1720. As executors of his will he appointed his wife, Anne, and
brother-in-law, Richard Woodward, of Bradford. The only Richard then of
Bradford was the above, son of Robert."

I don't know why it says "Ann Woodworth" instead of "Ann Woodward."

Linda ..... re: George JAMES married to Ann WOODWARD:

I have children for the family of George and Ann Woodward/Woodworth JAMES,
but not parent information. In the ref. below 'Early Church Records of
Delaware Co., PA' Ann is referenced as WOODWORTH.

The children I have are:
Sarah JAMES b 1699
Mary JAMES b 1702
Mordecai JAMES b 1705 d 1776 m 1727 Gainor LLOYD (2) 1736 Dinah CHURCHMAN
and (3) 1767 Susanna BUTCHER
Jane JAMES b 1707 m William HAYES
Hannah JAMES b 1711
Anne JAMES b 1714
Elizabeth JAMES b 1717

I have not included any birth date info. other than the year, as I believe
you will need to make the adjustment for dates prior to 1752 to reflect the
record keeping of day/mo/year....therefore making Jane's birthday to be
actually the 28th of November....as you can see, the references I have gives
the year at 1707, however.

I do have the 10 children of William and Jane James HAYES and some of them
carried down if this is your line and would like to have it.
