Stanwick is my great, great grandfather. His granddaughter Mary Cassie (buried at Hays Cemetery) is my grandma. Stanwick had some land dealings in South Carolina and moved to Blount County at some point after the 1820 census was taken. He's still listed in Newberry County (along with a hoard of the Counts family) at that time. I've managed to find random land records and court documents about him (including the incident with his first wife) in the Heritage Room at the Charleston Co Public Library. Working with the ladies there, we seem to have narrowed his father to either Robert or John Hays. Not really much help, as you couldn't throw a rock in this area at that time and not hit a Robert or John! His mother is still a mystery to me. I spent many a decoration day growing up driving down to Hayden to put flowers on graves and visit with family. My only real memory is of dad's Aunt Ella sitting in a lawn chair in the shade, holding court with all of us kids and telling stories about how things used to be!
