618Amazon, Linville and Upton HAYS are the sons of Boone HAYS. Boone HAYS made the trip to California a second time in 1850. He died en route to California and was buried on the slope of the Continental Divide. Upton HAYS formed a band of Confederate guerrillas and on 16 AUG 1862 made an attack at Lone Jack, Missouri. "A hundred and twenty-five men were killed before HAYS called in his men and rode south with QUANTRILL" (Monaghan, p. 255). Captain Upton HAYS was recruited by General Thomas C. HINDMAN, Commander of the District of Arkansas, C.S.A., as a regimental commander. Colonel Upton HAYS was killed 4 OCT 1862 behind the stone walls of Newtonia, a small community between Springfield and Neosho, Missouri (Monaghan, 257) [see Note 18].
