| Notes |
- David Hays birth date (according to Malcolm Stern) is 19 February 1732, but for some reason FTM refuses to accept this date. Hence the family group sheet shows simply 1732.
David Hays was a farmer, and a member of Shearith Israel in New York. Records indicate that he left in his estate one bay horse, one colt, eight cows, one bull, one yoke of oxen, one heifer, one fat steer, three calves, ten sheep, fourteen hogs, half a field of rye, one and a half fields of corn, one field of wheat, and all the other paraphernalia of a farm.
David Hays' grave in the St. James Place (Chatham Square) Cemetery in New York is one of those decorated on Memorial Day, since he is counted among the soldiers and patriots of the American Revolution. He is described in the records as "Merchant. Born in New Rochelle, N.Y., in March 1732, son of Jacob Hays. Associator. His house and store were destroyed by Tories in July 1779, while he was away in Long Island with colonial troops. He also served in the New York Militia at Braddock's Field in the French and Indian War. Died at Mount Pleasant, N.Y ., October 18, 1812."
