Andersons of Colonial N. Carolina

meant what they said, said what they meant

Charles Hays had a sense of humor… his last laugh?

Annotated historical document showing Charles Hayes's 1755 will, recorded in 1757, with handwritten manuscript and probate transcription.

He lays it out…right off the bat… (wait, baseball had not been invented yet). He calls the shot (wait, that is a pool hall analogy)…

He just says it: “Being old and Crazy”

Handwritten historical document entry dated April 12, recording the marriage of William Hayes and Hannah.

But rest assured, as he states, he was of Right sense and Memory…
