Parents

There are several sets of parents who have been suggested for William. We will list all of the candidates here and provide sources, or at least the origins of the information.

Parents:

John Bays, Jr. and Vicey

Married: 1773. Nine children issued by Vicey 1774-1793, in 1793 Vicey was about 40 years of age, the average limit for child-bearing. A significant point against William being their child is that there is no heir by that name in the 1811 Sale of Land record.^[8] The family group sheet also does not list William.^[9]
