Johnston in Stratford Beacon -Herald) The • name Hays, as it ap- pears in ,the name of the vil-, lage of Haysville, and the name Hays, as it appears in current reports of magistrate's -court in. Goderich, are the same name, we learn from the latest issue of Western Onttiario His- torical, Notes. The link is in the biography of Robert ,Hays, JP, (17941874), who was a pioneer four times over, first in the United States, and then in Canada, successfully at In- gersoll, 'Haysville and at Har-. purhey. ,. Robert Hays was a magistrate in McKillop Town- ship for about 25 years, ap- proximately for the period 184'7-1872, and his grandson, Glenn -Hays;: QC,- is now the magistrate at Goderich, the county 'town of the county which includes McKillop. There are a few small points, in the biography of Robert Hays as it appears in the 1961 Historical Notes, which are at variance with the biography which was published -in the Belden Atlas of 1879. They agree that Robert Hays was a native of the North of Ireland, but the 1879 history says his birthplace was County Done- gal, while .the 1961 notes de- scribe his birthplace as being near Londonderry. Both things may be true, because although Londonderry; as its name im- plies, is in County Derry, it is only three miles from the Derry -Donegal boundary. The Belden history says that Robert Mays came to McKil- lop in 1842, while the newly - published biography says the date of this event was 1844. The new biography has been edited by Magistrate Glenn Hays,. • whop May have had in- formationwn,i which to amend the old biography. On the always -interesting. question of why the pioneer was prompted to leave Ireland, and cross the Atlantic to a rough,new, and unknown country, ..the. Historical Notes story offers a clear-cut answer. Robert Hays came pioneering, the biographer says,_ because of taxes. . He felt that' taxes were too much of a burden in - Ireland, and was, ready to run the risks of the Atlantic cross- ing and the new start,. to find' a place with lower taxes. In the words of the Histor- ical Notes: "When about 24 yew , of age he married, and his father dying aboutthis time, divided his farm between his two sons, hence the subject of this memoir went to farm- ing, and married, about the same time. He, continued- this occupation for about five years during which time he was strongly impressed with the injustice of the tithe sys- tem, and the oppressive tax- ation which. burdened the peo- ple. He told an • old friend that while working -one day in the field, he began to think that surely there was a freer and better country somewhere, w here a poor man would not ha/ kept down by. oppressive taxation. His resolution was • taken. He threw down the spade with which he was work- ing, sold his farm, and never wrought another day•.,in his native country." At this .point in his life, Robert Hays did something which few men of age 29 would have the courage to do. He went back to school. He had attended the ordinary parish school, corresponding to our public school, as a boy, and would have had an educa- tion roughly. equivalent to On- tario Grade 8. As''part of his plan to emigrate from Ireland, he went back to school, and... attended the Grammar School of Letterkenny, in northern Donegal, • for"•§ix months. The results of this respect for schooling showed up repeated- ly - in his life in McKillop, where he became reeve, was re - (Continued on Page 8) •. 1961 RAMBLER CLASSIC 1960, MORRIS OXFORD 1957 MORRIS MINOR -Red, four -door 1957 PONTIAC COACH , PROTECT YOUR CAR -- Present) Rust!
