Thank you for the big hello!
I know that Robert Hayes was born in Armagh between 1818-1821 and I do believe that his father was also called Robert. I know where Robert is burried (Emily Presbyterian Cemetery in Emily Township, Ontario). That is also where David Best was burried. David and his cousin (also named David) immigrated to Canada before 1820 and they were also from Armagh, but according to family stories the Best family came to Armagh with King William from Germany (or within that region) around 1690.
I am trying to fill in my family tree, so realy what I'm looking for are names and dates. I don't know anything about my family in Ireland. I think the Hayes family may have known the Bests prior to their immigration to Ontario, because Robert Hayes married a Best and received some Best land in Emily.
thank you for your time,
- Michael
