The great-uncle of Jacob Hayes first moved to Newlin Township in 1771, and his grandfather, Mordecai Hayes arrived in 1774.[2]
The house is next door to the Hayes Homestead, built by his great-uncle. Nearby is the Hayes Mill House, which both Mordecai and Jacob used to mill whetstones. The Jacob Hayes House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1] Both the homestead and the mill house are also listed on the National Register.
