John Coffee "Jack" Hays (January 28, 1817-April 21, 1883) was a Texas Ranger Captain.
He was born at Little Cedar Lick, Wilson County, Tennessee.
Hays was described by Nelson Lee, one of the Rangers under his command as "a slim, slight, smooth-faced boy, not over twenty years of age, and looking younger than he was in fact. In his manners he was unassuming in the extreme, a stripling of few words, whose quiet demeanor stretched quite to the verge of modesty. Nevertheless, it was this youngster whom the tall, huge-framed brawny-armed campaigners hailed unanimously as their chief and leader".
He died in California, were he is buried.
