Wingate Hayes

Wingate Hayes was Speaker of the Rhode Island House of Representatives and U.S. District Attorney for the district of Rhode Island during the American Civil War.

Wingate Hayes was born in Maine. He graduated from Brown University and then studied in the office of Richard Ward Greene in Rhode Island. Hayes served on the Providence City Council and in the Rhode Island House of Representatives, where he was elected Speaker, serving from 1859 to 1860. Eventually, President Abraham Lincoln appointed Hayes to be the U.S. District Attorney for Rhode Island. President Andrew Johnson tried unsucessfully to replace Hayes, and Hayes eventually resigned to private practice. Hayes was also involved in various railroads and other enterprises.
