Upton Hays
Upton Hays, sometimes spelled Hayes, (March 29, 1832 – September 15, 1862) 〔Petersen, Richard C.; Lindberg, Kip A.; McGhee, James E.; & Daleen, Keith I.;''Sterling Price's Lieutenants'', Rev. ed., 2007, Two Trails Publishing, page 357, note 545, gives approx. date of death〕 was a colonel of the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War.
==Early life, career, and border warfare==
Upton Hays was born in Caldwell County, Missouri. His father was Boone Hays, and his great-grandfather was famed explorer Daniel Boone. Boone Hays settled in Jackson County, Missouri in 1837, later taking his sons to California in 1850 during the gold rush, but he died of pneumonia during the trip. Upton never received any formal education.〔(Watts-Hays Letters 1849-1861 )〕
Boone Hay's sons returned to Missouri, where Upton married Margaret Jane Watts on February 4, 1852, in Jackson County near Westport. There he farmed and served as a wagonmaster and freight hauler. Upton owned one slave of his own, and managed six others for his mother-in-law, Elizabeth Watts.〔 Hays was associated with the Border Ruffians, including the future guerrilla leader William Quantrill during the Bleeding Kansas era of cross-border warfare.〔 He voted for John C. Breckenridge for president and Claiborne Fox Jackson for governor in the election of 1860.〔Eakin, Joanne Chiles, ''Battle of Independence, August 11, 1862'', Two Trails Publishing, 2002, page 37〕
