I am trying to find any information on HAYS surnames in the Switzerland Co., IN area in the early to mid 1800's. I have a Louis P. HAYS, of Dover, Delaware, married to a Mary J.

On John Collins HAYS death certificate, it states that he was born in Switzerland IN, but no town is attached to that, so I am assuming that the County is what is meant. BUT..... I have also been told that this could also have meant Jefferson Co. IN at that time because of shifting borders. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Happy Holidays!
