1852 check with signature Jno C Hays, Sheriff with deputy signature below. Deputy writing appears to be consistent with Hays signature, so likely not actually signed by Hays. Online research shows there are also others signing for Hays on his checks but they are mistakenly identified as an actual Hays signature. "John Coffee "Jack" Hays was an American military officer. A captain in the Texas Rangers and a military officer of the Republic of Texas, Hays served in several armed conflicts from 1836 to 1848, including against the Comanche Empire in Texas and during the Mexican–American War." from wikipedia Texas
