Billie, way down in your post is the following: "There is a mention of Gilbert Hay in South Carolina, but a single entry as a witness therefore I have no information on this Gilbert."
I am a descendant of a Gilbert HAY from Virginia who moved in steps through North Carolina, South Carolina and British West Florida (Mobile) to Louisiana, arriving there in 1778. I have only a couple of items on him for the time he was in South Carolina.
Would you mind posting the item mentioned in the quote above?
Thanks, Bob
