Came with Daniel Boone cutting Wilderness Trail; in Capt. Holder's Company. In
the fall of 1784 settled 5 miles from Boone's Station. 1799 went with Boone
overland to St. Louis. Killed by James Davis, son-in-law. Rec. Office Book e

----------------
One of the nation's most historic routes, the Daniel Boone Wilderness Trail was blazed by the legendary frontiersman in 1775 from Long Island of the Holston at what is now Kingsport, TN, through the Cumberland Gap of Virginia and into Kentucky. It would become the route for hundreds of thousands of settlers of the western frontier.
Colonel Richard Henderson, a Superior Court judge of North Carolina formed the Transylvania Company and solicited the assistance of Boone in negotiating with the Indians and blazing the trail. The Cherokee sold the land between the Cumberland and Kentucky rivers for 5 tons of serviceable goods. Final negotiations were held at Sycamore Shoals (now Elizabethton, TN), an ancient Cherokee treaty ground on the southern bank of the Watauga River, about 15 miles southeast of Long Island on the Holston, a sacred area to the Indians. After the agreement, Boone left for Long Island on the Holston to rendezvous with 30 armed and mounted axmen, among them his brother Squire, and son-in-law William Hays.
On March 10, 1775, Boone led his trail blazers from Long Island to cut the trail through some 200 miles of wilderness northwest through the Cumberland Gap and into Kentucky

was a weaver by trade.
Little is known about the ancestry of William Hays who married Susannah Boone. Some say he was of Scotch descent; others say he was Irish. He was born in North Carolina, Dec. 13, 1754, and he died in what is now St. Charles Co., Missouri December 13, 1804. He was a weaver by trade and probably had a better education than most of his associates for he is said to have taught Daniel Boone, while they were living on the Clinch River, "some in writing and improved hand" and to have kept Boone's accounts.
Soon after the marriage of Susannah Boone and William Hays, in March, 1775, at Ft. Blackmore on the Clinch River in Virginia, Daniel Boone started his expedition to cut the Wilderness Road into Kentucky, having been accompanied by his son-in-law, William Hays. They crossed Cumberland Gap, pushed into Kentucky, built a few cabins which were the foundation for Fort Boonesborough, then Boone returned to Ft. Blackmore for his family which included Susannah and William Hays.
ref: "The Boone Family", by Hazel Spraker pp. 116-7, 632, 635
William Hays took part in the siege of Boonesborough, having been enrolled as a pioneer soldier of Kentucky on June 10, 1779, in Captain John Holder's Company, at Boonesborough. (b)
"Filson Club Publications", Vol. 16, p. 255
From 1779-1783, he was a captain at Bryan's station under Col. Levi Todd and Col. Daniel Boone. An excerpt from Lyman C. Draper's interview with Daniel Boone's nephew, Daniel Bryan, in April 1844, gives this account of Captain William Hays:
"Captain William Hays (Col. Daniel Boone's son-in-law) raised a party of about 12 men on Kentucky River, a dozen miles from Lexington, probably the second day of the siege and pressed on to Bryan's - found a fence built across the lane - partly torn down - not his cross fence, but the lane fence, and leaped over it into the field. The Indians were posted each side of the lane, for some twenty paces, and as Hays' party of horsemen dashed down the lane, they raised such a cloud of dust as to greatly screen them from the enemy's aim; and hence probably it was that they were not all cut off. Hays was wounded in the neck and came near falling from his horse, but escaped." Capt. Hays detailed to attend to the building of canoes and collecting of provisions for Gen. George Rogers Calrk's army in 1781.
In the fall of 1784, Daniel Boone, his sons-in-law, William Hays and Joseph Scholl, and their families settled on Marble Creek, north of the Kentucky River and about five miles from Boone's station. About 1785 William and Susannah Hays came into possession of Daniel Boone's Marble Creek Farm where they lived until they moved with Boone to Upper Louisiana in 1799, William Hays and William Hays, Jr. going with the group which went overland through Lexington, Louisville, Vincennes to St. Louis.
From the Spanish authorities William Hays received land grant number 1670, containing 510 acres, near the Missouri River in the Femme Osage District. Susannah Boone Hays lived only a year after their arrival in the Louisiana Territory, and her husband survived her by only four years.
ref: "The Boone Family", pp. 116-7, 632, 635
"The first murder within the limits of Boone's 'Palatinate' was committed on Dec. 13, 1804 and the criminal was indicted by the first grand jury that assembled north of the Missouri River after the cession of the territory to the United States. The preliminary hearing was held before Commandant Boone who remanded the accused to the 'calabazo' at St. Charles to await the action of the grand jury. When that body assembled, it developed that 11 of the 12 members could not write their names. They endeavored to make up for their lack of erudiction by solemnity of sound and particularity of statement. And the instrument which they laboriously brought forth is one of the curiosities of literature. It likewise possesses special interest as the first indictment drawn in Louisiana Territory under American Government."
It reads as follows:
"That one James Davis, late of the district of St. Charles, in the territory of Louisiana, laborer, not having the fear of God before his eyes, but being moved and seduced by the instigation of the Devil, on the 13th of December in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and four (1804), at a place called Femme Osage, in the said District of St. Charles, with force of arms, in and upon William Hays, in the peace of God and the United States, there and then Feloniously, willfully, and with malice aforethought, did make an assault, and that the said James Davis, with a certain rifle gun, four feet long, and of the value of five dollars, then and there loaded and charged with gun powder and one leaden bullet, with said rifle gun the said James Davis then and there in his hands had and held, fired and killed William Hays." ref: "Missouri Historical Review", April 1909 p. 198, second in a series of articles about Daniel Boone, by W. S. Bryan, "Pioneer Families of Missouri", by W. S. Bryan
"This killing was the result of one of those unfortunate 'Shooting scrapes' common to all our frontier communities and as it possessed none of the elements of murder, Davis was freed on a $3,000.00 bond pending trial, later being acquitted by the jury that tried him."
ref: "Missouri Historical Review", Jan. 1910, p. 85, "Peculiarities of Life in Daniel Boone's Missouri Settlement", W. S. Bryan
William Hays had quarreled with James Davis and had forbidden him to come on the place. When James disobeyed, William Hays threatened to shoot: Davis shot first, critically wounding William Hays, who died a few hours afterward, as a result of the 'flare-up' of two quick tempers.
In 1958, Mr. T. P. Davis of Wright City, Missouri, told Lillian Hays Oliver, author of "Some Boone Descendants and Kindred of the St. Charles District", that his father told him the quarrel between William Hays and James Davis (great-grandfather of T. P. Davis, was the result of a misunderstanding about some land that young Davis had cleared and planned to cultivate. Since William Hays, armed with a pistol, was opposed by his son-in-law armed with a rifle, the jury returned a verdict of suicide, contending that a man with a pistol shooting at one armed with a rifle was inviting his own death.
One wonders what the feeling of Daniel Boone was when he had to investigate this murder case in which the victim was his son-in-law and the defendant a close friend and hunting companion.
ref: "Some Boone Descendants and Kindred of the St. Charles District", by Lillian Hays Oliver, p 245
In Book E, p. 157 Recorder's office, St. Charles, Missouri, is the following:
"To all to whom these presents shall come Greetings whereas upon the petition to the Circuit Court in and for the county of St. Charles at the last October Term thereof Elizabeth Van Bibber and Isaac Van Bibber of the County of St. Charles aforesaid in the Territory of Missouri of Jemima Dodson* and James Davis of Clark County State of KY. of William Hays of the same County of St. Charles of Susannah Dodson Relict of Joshua Dodson deceased of the same County of St. Charles, of Boone Hays, of Daniel Hays, of Delinda Jones and Lewis Jones of Greenup Hays and Mahala hays all of the same County all being legal heirs and representatives of William Hays late of said County of St. Charles deceased which said Petition was in writing and signed by said Petitioners and set forth that said William Hays died seized and possessed of 2 tracts of land in the same county.

Susannah - The Forgotten Boone
1998 November/December Issue of the Boone Duden Newsletter.
This article was prepared by Ida "Kruger" Gerdiman, society member and
author of several articles about people and places in the Boone Duden
Area. This article appeared in the 1998 November/December Issue of the
Boone Duden Newsletter.

The Femme Osage creek flows endlessly on, and the majestic hills stand
tall embracing the valley much as they did in Daniel Boone's day. The
Femme Osage valley in the southwest part of St. Charles county still is
a place, where for the most part, development has not touched.
Daniel Boone's history along with his family, Susannah Hays, Jemima
Callaway, Daniel Morgan, and Nathan have all left their legacy in the
Femme Osage valley. Jemima moved near the present town of Marthasville,
Daniel Morgan to Jackson County, MO, and Nathan to Ash Grove, MO,
leaving the Femme Osage valley with its serenity behind. What happened
to Susannah?
Susannah, the oldest of Daniel and Rebecca's four daughters, married
Capt. Wm. Hays in 1775, at Ft. Blackmore on the Clinch River in
Virginia. Capt. Hays was thought to be better educated than most men of
his day. He was a weaver by trade, and taught Daniel Boone, "some in
writing and improved hand", and also kept his accounts. Some thought
Capt. Hays was of Scottish ancestry, others thought he was Irish.
Capt. Hays was with Daniel Boone on his expedition to cut the Wilderness
Road into Kentucky. There they built a few cabins which later became
Fort Boonesborough. In 1776, Susannah and Capt. Hays' first child was
born. It is believed this was the first white child born in Kentucky.
With the help of Capt. Hays, Fort Boonesborough was successfully
defended against the Indians. In a daring attempt, Capt. Hays and twelve
other men saved Fort Bryan. Although wounded in the neck, he was able to
hold on to his horse and reach Fort Bryan. He was in charge of building
canoes and gathering provisions for General George Rogers Clark's army
in 1781.
In 1785, Capt. Hays and Susannah lived on Daniel Boone's Marble Creek
Farm. They lived there till in 1799, when they joined Daniel Boone and
his family and came to the Femme Osage valley in Missouri.
They received Spainish Land Grant number 1670, containing 510 acres,
located near where the Femme Osage creek flows into the Missouri river.
There they built their home and raised their family of nine children. It
is believed there may have been another son, Richard. No other
information is available. Nine children grew to adults and of the nine
adult children, eight married.
Susannah lived only a year after she came to Missouri. She died in 1800
and was buried on their farm. It is said that the river washed the
little family cemetery away with its many floods.
Capt. Hays was killed by his son-in-law, James Davis in 1804. Young
Davis and Capt. Hays quarreled over some land. Guns were drawn and Capt.
Hays was shot. This was the first murder in Daniel Boone's jurisdiction.
One can imagine how Daniel Boone must have felt. He chose a grand jury
of twelve men, eleven of which could not write their names. This was the
first grand jury assembled north of the Missouri river after the cession
of the territory to the United States. James Davis was acquitted and the
verdict was suicide. Capt. Hays was buried beside Susannah in the family
cemetery.
...... edited for length
We close another chapter in our history book, but this is not the end,
life continues in the valley. Susannah lived one year after she came to
Missouri, but she left us her family. They stayed here in the valley,
they did not move away. They were our neighbors and friends. They help
make the Femme Osage valley what it is today. History may have forgotten
Susannah, but she is not forgotten to those of us who have lived all of
our lives in the valley.
