Thomas was born on 21 July 1876 in Lac Sainte-Marie, Quebec, Canada to Thomas and Mary Ann (Skehan) Hayes. Thomas is my most recent ancestor who was born outside the United States. The Hayes family moved from Canada to Lorain County, Ohio where they were living by 1880. Thomas was married to Shirley Hayes (no relation) on 03 May 1905. Shirley died 19 December 1906 one week after giving birth to their son, Lewis F. Hayes. Thomas was married, secondly, to Harriett Hayes, Shirley's sister, on 22 February 1913. By this time, Thomas was living in Marietta, Washington County, Ohio. Thomas and Harriett had three sons and a daughter. Thomas died in Marietta on 14 February 1951 and was buried at the Barlow Cemetery in Barlow, Washington County, Ohio.
Mary Eileen Hayes was born 21 July 1916 in Vincent, Washington County, Ohio. She was married on 16 June 1936 at St. Louis Church, Cincinnati, Ohio to Benedict Aloysius Roddy. Grandma and Grandpa had 13 children (9 daughters and 4 sons). Grandma died on Thanksgiving Day, 22 November 1979 at her home in Marietta, Ohio.
This picture of the Roddy family was taken in about 1960 and includes 12 of the 13 children. Angela Sue Roddy was born and died in 1961. Pictured in the front row, left to right, are: Rita, Alice, Grandma holding Vincent, Grandpa holding Daniel, Michael, Virginia; the back row, left to right are: Harriett, Margaret (my mother), Mary Ann, Benedict, Shirley, Julia.
