HI! Everyone,
I live in the state of Virginia and I have for sometime now been trying to fine information on my great grandfather-John Hayes. All I have been able to fine is that he is buried in Mine's Cemetery in Haskell, Oklahoma. He was born on 17 Jan 1879 and died on 27 Aug 1937. He married Orpha Keys in Dec 1905 in Washington County, Arkansas. I was told he was a Mormon. I now he lived in Blanie and Stilwell Oklahoma also. John Nad Orpha had four daughters together, Anne- who died as a baby, Inita(Which is was her middle name, married and went by the surname of Teague and is buried also somewhere in Oklahoma.), Agnas who married and lived and is buried in California and my grandmother- Goldie Alice Hayes Howerton who also has passed away and is buried in Topeka, Kansas. I know nothing of John Hayes family, nothing about his parents. I do not even know if he had any brothers and sisters. I cannot even fine is obit or a copy of his death certificate. I would like to know who to e-mail at the mine's Cemetery to get copies of his cemetery records. Any help at all I would be very grateful for. Thank you very much for your time and your help.

I don't know if you were ever able to find anything on your great grandfather John Hayes, but perhaps I can help. John's father Joshua H. Hayes was my great great grandfather. Joshua was married first to Mary Ann Highfill and she was the mother of John, and through his second marriage to Fannie Hide he was the father of my great grandfather William Hayes. If you would like more information I can be reached at mustacheusa@aol.com.

Are you still interested in information regarding your Hayes and Keys family? I may have found some documents of intrest.
