    1708, June Cattlemark of John Jay recorded in Salem Co. NJ
    1711, Apr John Jay involved in the estate of Charles Oakford and wife Margaret
    1715, Jan John Jay [Jey] received payments from the estate of William Hall
    1737, Jan John Jay's note listed in the inventory of Richard Hudson

    It is assumed that this John is the father of William and a likely Joseph as well as other Jay's that have YDNA matches originating from Salem, Burlington and Cumberland, NJ.
