There seems to be two Mary Elizabeth Hayes.
Mary Elizabeth Hayes I was born in 1834 and married William Franklin Massengale and Joseph Campbell Heaton and died in 1915.
Mary Elizabeth Hayes II was born in 1840 and married George McDuff Simmons and died in 1906.
But both seem to have had the same parents: Solomon Hayes and Sarah "Sallie" Phillips.
Mary Elizabeth Hayes I (her death certificate in 1915 lists her parents as Solomon Hays and Sallie Phillips)
Mary Elizabeth Hayes II (her FindAGrave has her parents as Solomon Hayes and Sara Phillips, no death certificate)
This leads me to believe that Mary Elizabeth Hayes II has been misidentified as the Mary Elizabeth Hayes, daughter of Solomon Hayes and Sarah Phillips by whoever put her on FindAGrave.
On the other hand, Solomon Hayes and Sarah Phillips did have two daughters Mary (born 1834) and Elizabeth (born 1841). So maybe both girls are daughters of Solomon Hayes but they are sisters and the one who buried Mary Elizabeth Hayes II got her name wrong on her tombstone and it's "Elizabeth" and not "Mary Elizabeth".
If anyone has any corrections or further information, please contact me at Mom25dogs@gmail.com. I'm especially interested if you can clear up the confusion about the two Mary Elizabeth Hayes. My husband is descended from the Massengale line so I would like to be able to have a clear understanding about Mary Elizabeth Hayes I. Thank you.
