Individual Details

Found Mary as an infant in the 1850 Census and as an 11-year-old in Johnson Co AR in 1860. By 1870 she would have been of marriageable age.

I did find a note in my grandmother's hand that stated her papa had a sister Ellen who married George Hasket. Was Mary's middle name Ellen?

Another look at the 1870 census in Crawford Co AR, showed next door to the family of Elias Hays, a lady named Ellen who was born in Mississippi in 1849:
G. T. Hasket, age 27, b. TN. Ellen, age 21, b. MS. W. S. age 2, male, b. AR. L. E., age 1 month - born in April, female, b. AR.
I believe this is the eldest daughter of Elias and Martha. And in fact, George Hasket in his Civil War Pension Applications states that his wife, now dead, was Ellen Hays.

I haven't found this family in 1880.

George and Mattie Haskett testified in 1890 when Martha Hays applied for Widow's Pension on the service of Elias Hays.. Mattie testified she was present when Martha F. Hays married Stephen Yard on 19 Dec 1886. Mattie gave her age as 15. Stephen T. Matlock, JP, had performed the marriage. George Haskett testified that he was age 48 years of age and was also present at the marriage.

In 1915, George stated that his wife had been dead for more than 20 years. He had no living children. He did say they were married by Jesse Stewart, a Justice of the Peace, in Crawford Co, AR. The cemetery book for Crawford Co has no Hasket burials - they are probably all in unmarked graves.
