• Notes

  This might be the John who lived in Salem Co., NJ in 1737 and in Cumberland Co., NJ in 1750-60 when it was established. He is not in Quaker Records. He apparently moved to Pennsylvania before 1766 as he was in the tax records for W. Notm Twp., Chester Co., PA in 1766, 1767, and 1768. (C-172) In 1728, Cassius Milton Jay had theorized that the John who lived in NJ and Pennsylvania from 1737-1768 was the father of this Jonathon, William and Joseph instead and the son of John Jay b. 1652. However, he had dropped that theory from his later publications.
