• Notes

  She is listed sixth in her father's will. She might be the Betty Jay who witnessed the wedding of Sarah Cook and Zimri Gaunt in the 1785 Bush River Quaker records and was listed in the family column. However, I do not know of a kin relatp at this point in time between her and Sarah Cook.
