Samuel Jackson Hays (c.–November 3, 1866) was an American militia officer, lawyer, slave owner, plantation owner, and railroad investor in west Tennessee. His father was Robert Hays and his uncle was President Andrew Jackson; Jackson's wife Rachel and his mother Jane Donelson Hays were sisters. The extended Donelson clan, with Jackson serving as patriarch (founder John Donelson was killed in 1785), is credited with being exceptionally efficient at using kinship networks as profit centers and engaging in what has been described as vertically integrated family-business imperialism: "They fought the native peoples, negotiated the treaties to end the fighting and demanded native lands as the price of war, surveyed the newly available lands, bought those lands, litigated over disputed boundaries, adjudicated the cases, and made and kept laws within the region that had been carved out of Indian lands."
