ANDREW J. HAYS, farmer, was born in the township where he now resides
November 10, 1832, being the fifth of eight children born to James and
Mary(Bell) Hays.  James was a native of Ireland, who came to this country
in 1813, and settled near where is now Louisville, Ky., but came to
Indiana in 1830 and bought land in Marshall Township, where he died.  Our
subject received an ordinary education, and October 14, 1854, married Mary
Maddox, and eight children were born to them, seven of whom are living: 
John W., Hugh, who married Julia Moore; Jennie; Thomas; Martha J., who
married George Needham; Itinces and Andrew J.  Mr. Hays owns 180 acres of
excellent land, highly improved.  Realizing the necessity of prompt action
for the preservation of the Union, Mr. Hays enlisted in Company F,
Sixty-seventh Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and served till April
7, 1863, when he was mustered out in consequence of disability.  He was in
the battles of Murfreesboro and Arkansas Post and siege of Vicksburg.  He
and wife are members of the Christian Church, and he is a Democrat.
