During his life time, David researched the history of several Decatur and Henderson County families. His research provides important basic research on the history of families that now live or have lived in these two counties. Like all research, it is not perfect and is known to contain both errors and omissions. By policy, David's original research will not be updated to correct these errors but will be maintained in the state left by David. However, we are happy to publish the family research of any families connected with Decatur or Henderson County. We will also publish comments as notes to David's research.

"Asa Nelson Hays (Captain Black Hawk) born August 4, 1818 in Tennessee. Legend has it that Asa fought an Indian, whipped him and took his name, and since his mother was an Indian, he was dark complexioned and was called Black Hawk from that day on. During the Civil War, Perry, Henderson, and Decatur Counties were for the Union. He led the Volunteers 7th Cavalry Company C. This man was such a devout Republican that he ordered his children never to vote Democratic and if they did they would be outcasts from the family forever. Legend also has it that the reason that Henderson and Decatur Counties vote Republican to this day is the influence of this man and because of his many relatives. Because of his influence, relatives and strong beliefs he did hold the counties for the Union. Most of his company was made up of relatives. We know that two of his sons fought under him Isaac and Samuel Leon, Samuel was killed at Union City when this company was captured by the Confederates. The Captain, and two of his nephews Jack and Preacher John. Jack died as a prisoner at Andersonville, Preacher John lived through this and came back to relate many things about the prison. One of them being that they ate the dog belonging to the Confederate Officers guarding them because they were so hungry. Preacher John was also at the Prison when the famous spring came up at Andersonville. He said this happened because the men prayed so hard for water to drink, because all the water the prisoners had to drink were from the Confederate latrines up on a hill. He also stated that a lot of men died from drinking too much water the day the spring came out of the ground. So far as is known Captain Hays escaped before they got to Andersonville. After the war feelings were strong and Captain Hays was ambushed by Henry Elliot on the Rosson Town Road, near the old Parsons School. Captain Hays was shot and lived quite some time after this. It is said that Doctors pulled silk handkerchiefs through his wound to clean it. Captain Hays was a great land owner in Decatur County. Sections of this land still owned today [c1978] by his descendants. His home place is now owned by Roudolf Hill. One of his sons Isaac inherited a section of land which was left to Tom Hays, and is now owned by Billie Jean Mays, Tom's grandaughter. The old Hays School House was located on a portion of the land that was left to his daughter Brett Gilbert located about two miles north west of Bear Creek Church. He gave his daughter Ann the section of land that is now owned by the Bob Hays heirs located approximately one and half miles from Bear Creek Church. Ann married Marion Hays and their home is still standing on the property as a log barn. This section is the only portion of his property that has remained in the Hays name since it was homesteaded."

He served his Commanding Officer very well. Crockett's father-in-law Mark Renfroe was the Company's 2nd Lieutenant. After Colonel Hawkins surrendered a large portion of the 7th Regiment at Union City, the troops were marched to Andersonville Prison in southern Georgia. They had not been there but a few days when Crockett took pneumonia. They transferred him over to the so-called hospital on 30 April, the day after his brother Jackson had died in the hospital. It had become a fearful thing to be put in the hospital. No one ever returned. But Crockett defied the general rule. By 10 May he had recovered sufficiently to return to the compound. But the lack of decent food and the exposure to all the elements, destroyed the already weakened body. Crockett was admitted back into the hospital on 22 July 1864 with diarrhea and anasarca (dropsy). He died later in the day. They buried him in the prison graveyard. His grave number is 3807."
