I found a post about them on the Hays board at genforum.com.

You may be able to contact the posters for more information.

"P&A immigrated to America in the mid to late 1770s (port unknown), and may have lived a couple of years in Virginia before settling in the Rock Hill District of York County, SC. P&A both died c.1796 in the Camden District of York County. Five children: Alexander Frank Hays b. 1769 County Derry, Ulster, Ireland, m. Nancy Gilbert, d. 1863 Morristown, TN; Amelia Hays b. c.1771 Ulster, m. Robert Lourie/Lowry; Anna Hays b. 1774 Ulster, m. James Chesron; John Hays b. c.1773 Ulter, m. Easter (Esther?), d. 7-6-1857; and Robert Hays b. 1786, m. Sarah Minter, d.12-30-1845. John and Easter Hays and Robert Hays are buried in the Bullock Creek Presbyterian Church Cemetery, York County, SC."

Hello! I am a descendant of Patrick and Amelia Hays. I found your post searching for more information on them as well. They are the farthest back I have reached so far in building my family tree. Patrick Hays was my ggggggg-grandfather. My great-great-great grandmother was Alonzo Hays. If you have any information beyond Patrick and Amelia, I would love to know it. I would also be happy to share any information I have. I'd be fun to see where you fit on my tree!

By the way, I am descended from Patrick and Amelia's son John Hays.

I have recently found more info on Patrick Hays wife, Amelia. She was Amelia Carolina Flanagan from Dublin Ireland. Father's name was James Flangon and her Mother's name was Mary ?
