       (She went to the cemeteries where Abigail (Jonathan's first wife) was buried and  where Jonathan & his second wife, Margaret and others were buried.)

       Jonathan Hayes Sr. was a Revolutionary War soldier.  In 1811 his family moved to Plattsburgh, Clinton Co., NY where Jonathan Jr. was born.
       About 1815 the younger Jonathan went to Lake George (could have been any of the towns along the lake) and engaged in lumbering work.  Since he was quite young at the time it an be assumed he went to his two brothers who could have stopped there for work when the family moved to Plattsburge, for by then they could have been living with a family of their own, as they were listed as under 16 on Jonathan Sr.'s 1790 census report.
       Howard went up into Canada as a young man, no further data on him.  In the records of the North Granville Church it lists a Phebe Hayes as a member in 1787 (perhaps Jonathan's wife,) admitted in 1803 a Phebe Hayes, in 1806 an Anne Hayes and an Amos Hayes dismissed to Plattsburgh, NY.  these last three named could well be the children of Jonathan Sr. and his wife, Phebe.

       Jonathan moved from Granville, New York 1837 to Crawford County., Pennsylvania; in 1846 to Jackson County, Iowa, then to Clinton County.  He was buried in Union Cemetery.
