HAYES: TOWN FIRST KNOWN AS DUGAS PASTURE
In the beginning Hayes was known as DUGAS PASTURE, or La Savanne des Duga s. It was named for Dugas, a cattle grazer from Andrus Cove, who discover ed this bountiful pasture land ideal for grazing his wild cattle. They cou ld be kept here without supervision because the area was bounded on the ea st by the Lacassine Bayou, on the north and west by swamp, and on the sou th by marsh.

Eloi Primeaux of Hayes, who?s done extensive research on this area says, t here is no recorded history on the Dugas family, except that they were Aca dians, migrating to Louisiana in about 1755, and settling at AndrusCove, t wo miles northeast of Lake Arthur. They had large herds of cattle.

Dugas did not want settlers to come into this area because they?d ruin h is good cattle and his pastureland. He managed to keep them off, until Tho mas Hayes came along. It is believed that Dugas may have died about that t ime.

Thomas Hayes? ancestor - William Hayes - came to Louisiana some times befo re 1784 from Halifax , PA, and settled in St. Landry parish. In 1832 Thom as Hayes moved into Dugas Pasture to become the first white settler ther e. He married Mary Ann Foreman, from Andrus Cove, and they settled near t he Lacassine Bayou.

Hayes' great-great granddaughter, Mrs. Tom Taylor of Lake Charles tel ls of a near tragedy the Hayes suffered shortly after moving to Dugas Past ure. "Thomas Hayes was gravely ill with typhoid fever. There were no neigh bors, and no doctors. Their child -Paren - was just a toddler.

"Mrs. Hayes knew she had to leave to get help for her critically ill husba nd, so she tied the young toddler to the bedstead, put out plenty of fo od and water for him, and left. Crossing the Lacassine Bayou in a pirogu e, she then used a horse to travel about tifteen miles through the isolate d, unsettled territory to the Andrus Cove Ferry on the Mermentau. James An drus took her to his home by flatboat. Then he got William Holland To ri de to Crowley To find a doctor .

Two days later the group got back to the Hayes home where they found Thom as Hayes still alive and recuperating from his battle with typhoid. The yo ung child - Paren - who'd been tied to the bedstead, was dirty, and crust y, and upset. But he was physically alright.

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

28 Oct 1797 Second Creek, Natchez District, Missiippi

Possessions:
Natches Court Records; pg 134:
p 517 6 Nov 1797, William Hayes to Reuben Baxter, of Dist, of Natchez, Planter, 200 acres herein before mentioned; for $150, paid. Both sign. Wit: Juan Girault, Estevan Minor

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]

... was at the Vermilion Parish GenWeb site tonight and found the cemetery where Rachel Clark and second husband Joshua Garret are buried. Thought you might like the information. Sounds as though it was the family cemetery on Garret land. I keep wanting to spell Garret with two t's. I live on Garrett Ave. Would never have found this information if I hadn't gotten the name of Rachel's second husband from you.
Thanks

COMMENTS: I am a decedent of Joshua GARRETT, and as such wanted to mention the mis-spelling of the family name. Joshua GARRETT, with two Ts came to S. Louisiana in the 1770s and settled on Bayou Nezpique in the County of Opelousas, in what is now Evangeline Parish. Later he moved his family to the County of Attakapas, in what is now St. Mary Parish. Under the governance of the Spanish his name was misspelled in many ways, which was not unusual. In the marriage records of St. Martin de Tours Roman Catholic church in St. Martinville, LA, he is listed as Josue Garrot, and in Spanish Military records, he served in a Spanish milita unit, de la Compagnie de milite des Oppeloussas(sic) and is listed as Josua Garote. During this period of transition, from France to Spain to France, then to the United States there was probably some confusion between the clerics and civil officials as to which language to use to record official events. To compound this continuing error, the name of this cemetery on the N. BEND
USGS 7.5 min. Quadrangle is listed as Gratt Cem. I have tried to have this corrected, but as yet have only met with stiff resistance from Washington bureaucrats.

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.

Notes:

As a little known event to add to the troubles in Ireland in the middle of the eighteenth century, a famine occured in 1739-40 which was said to have caused nearly 400,000 deaths to occur in Ireland.


Melinda writes of (..) Clark:
It is a supposition on the part of several Louisiana Clark researchers that Terence, Patrick, John and Francis are brothers. There is an additional Clark family in the Orleans Territory, headed by Matthew Clark and Isabelle Wilson, who may be another brother. There are various documents that link the descendants of the first four as cousins (find reference here from Sue Severson). Patrick's wife and Francis' wife both are named Melon/Malone (and various other transliterated spellings) and are both referred to as "from Baltimore, Maryland." In addition, there is a 1790 document executed by Patrick in which the scribe refers to his brother "Clarens", which may be Terence.
