Per The Hayes Family, "he armed and equiped an independent Company of Cavalry at his own expense, and served during the war. He was ruined financially and came with John Cleves Symmes to the Miami Country in 1791. He rented land at the mouth of the Miami of Judge Symmes, and named it Hayes Point. He remained there until Indiana Territory was opened to settlers, when he and his family bought the first land sold by the Government in Indiana, and settled there."
