3.  James moved to Conecuh County, Alabama in 1819.  He as well as Mary Rakestraw [mother-in-law] is mentioned as early settler of Burnt Corn, a community on the county line adjoining Monroe County.  He is mentioned as Captain Hayes in Reily's "History of Conecuh County".  He had over a thousand acres there, which he sold and moved to what became Lowndes County in 1830, but was part of Dallas County at the time.  It was said that he died 1828, Lowndes County, Alabama, which, is probably not right if the earlier account is correct.
