The HAYS/SIMS Families of
MIDDLE Tennessee

Especially the Counties of

Rutherford/Wilson

John and Lydia's son Amos b. c1819 has already married by 1839, and probably William b. 1817 had also. Who were the female children is this line? George Washington Hays named one of his girls Elizabeth Rebecca (maybe for two of his sisters???).
