Notes

General:

Per Bi-Centennial Hayes Book,
Mr. Hayes gives in detail his experience in river trading, buying land, raising cattle, and the various other ways by which he steadily increased his property. He possessed common sense in an unusual degree, and by his own labors and good judgement amassed a fortune which made him one of the wealthiest men of Dearborn County, Indiana. He married in March, 1809, Nancy Billingsley (daughter of Thomas Billingsley and Nancy Thurston, his wife) who came West from Berkley County, Virginia, in 1796, with her parents, and died February 3rd, 1875.
"In 1834 Joseph and Walter Hayes were directors in the first railroad company organized in the State of Indiana. They and their brother Jacob helped to organize the Branch Bank of the State, and were directors in it. From 1812 until age began to encroach on their energies, these three brothers were in the front rank of the men who were doing things in the vicinity of Lawrenceburg, Indiana."
