Notes:

The Jay Family Association has nicknamed him "Cattlemark" John. Here are the records that likely apply to him on the Jay Family site.

1708, May John Jay of Salem Co. NJ attests two different deeds for Jacob Spicer
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.

These are his likely descendants besides the ones noted in this family tree:

Generation 1
John Jay of Alloways Creek, Salem Co. NJ (Cattlemark John)

Generation 2
John Jay (perhaps but not necessarily the same individual as directly below)
Jonathan Jay (perhaps but not necessarily the individual noted directly above)

Generation 3

Notes:

Here is what we know as of 2022 from YDNA evidence. Our William is NOT related to the following Jay families of America.

Line of Thomas JAY b ca 1779 of Bedford Co. PA
[21] Line of William JAY b 1767 m. Anne King (s/o David JAY/GEE)
[19] Line of Moses JAY of Sussex Co. NJ (also John GEE of Westchester Co. NY)
[22] Line of John F. JAY of PA
[14] Line of the Broome Co. NY JAY family
[] Line of Thomas Jay b 1610, Norfolk, England and Joan Gallup whose descendants include John Jay and Ann Orchard.
[] Chief Justice John Jay

We are related to a Joseph Jay b. abt 1712 of NJ and a John Jay b. abt 1718 of NJ but I have not ascertained how at this point in time. By age, they could all be brothers.

Jay(e)'s are thought to be French Huguenots (Protestants). The name is spelled GEE in Welsh and JAY in English. (C-463, 839) It has been found under all of the additional spellings: de Jouy, Jaie, Jaye, Joy, Joye, Jary, Jvoy, Gay, Guy, Gouy, Ivey, Jany, Jouy, Iaia, and Le Jay. (C-845a,888) It originally was derived from the location of Jouy in Normandy, France. As Huguenots, the Jouys were forced to flee France during the Catholic-Huguenot Wars from 1550 - 1700. Most came to England and spent several generations. Some came directly to America. There are Jouys still in France and England as well as America.

The best information available on the Coat of Arms is that it originated in France holding the motto "Deo duce perseverandun" meaning "With God our leader, we must strive." It includes the picture of the Jaybird sitting on a rock or bush. (C-859)

The ancestry for William Jay is still uncertain. Several theories exist. The first one is from the VESTAL JAY NOTES by Percy Pemberton Brown it states: William Jay's "father, Joseph Jay, had been born in New Jersey, and lived for a time at Borderingtown in that state before moving to Maryland. Joseph's father, John Jay, was a planter of Barbados. He purchased land in Monmouth County, East Jersey from Robert Story in 1671 and William Shakerly in 1672. He visited Rhode Island on business in 1672, met George Fox, founder of the Quaker society, who was then visiting the colonies. Jay went with him on the trip to Md., and later came to N. Jersey. He is mentioned several times in Salem Co (NJ)." (C-175)

George Fox, Quaker founder, lists this John Jay as "a Friend, pretty, rich planter of Barbados...and his large family" in his journal of his settlement of the northeast. (C-816, 849) This first theory is supported and further developed by Bill Timmons and has support in deed and will records. It is also the parentage professed in the "Compendium of American Genealogy". Current research by Vince King and others state that William's DNA is matching Revolutionary War pensioner, Joseph Jay (b. 1753) of New Jersey.

A second theory that is now disproven as to his father has to do with a William married to Sarah Wilder on Dec. 6, 1705 in Alls Hollows Parish in Anne Arundel Co., Maryland. This William lived just south of Harford Co., Maryland and was approximately 100 miles from where our William lived in what was Orange Co., VA, then Frederick Co., Virginia and now Jefferson Co., West Virginia. This William and Sarah being the parents of our William is supported by the naming of our William's first daughter, Sarah. (C-949, 2123, E) Sarah was born much earlier than the other known children of William. She was also not listed as a child of William by Eli Jay when interviewing his father about his Aunts and Uncles. There is, however, a land transaction when our William marries that suggests a familial relationship.

The other theory published about his parentage has absolutely been disproved by DNA evidence taken from both this William Jay's descendants and descendants of Thomas Jay/Joy. It is from Cassius Milton Jay in the Los Angeles SAR "Bulletin" and in the "Jay Family Index." Cassius (1886-1953), a leading figure in his SAR group and his father, Eli Jay (1826-1911), a professor of Mathematics at Earlham College, had devoted their lives as family historians. In one source, though not this source, it stated that he only felt this was a theory as to the parentage of William Jay. (C-800)

Cassius Milton Jay's theory was in "The Bulletin", Nov. 1928, with the following lineage. I'm only repeating it here to acknowledge what is absolutely incorrect about our William Jay(5), b. 1720. Cassius theorized that he was the son of John Jay(4) of Salem Co., NJ and Chester Co., Pennsylvania. This John(4) was the son of John Jay(3) born Sept. 30, 1672 in Boston to John(2) and Mercy Bartlett Jay. NOTE: Mercy Bartlett's parents were Robert Bartlett and Mary Warren, (daughter of Richard Warren of the Mayflower). John Jay(2) is the supposed son of Thomas Joy(1) b. cal. 1610, architect of great renown of whom much is known in various published records. (C-172, C-173, C-174, C-608, C-970) This lineage is absolutely incorrect as per DNA evidence. Let's please purge this information out of our genealogies.

What we do know about William Jay and his wife Mary is that they lived in Virginia, North Carolina and Newberry Co., South Carolina. Our William received a patent of 245 acres on Oct. 3, 1734 in Orange Co., VA. (Now Frederick, VA). William would have been at least 21 years of age at the time. William Vestal also received a patent on that same day in the same region. Birth places given for him include Buckingham Twp, Bucks Co., Pa, and Salem Co., NJ as well as Harford Co. (was Baltimore Co. at the time), MD. His birth year of 1719/1720 is estimated from a South Carolina relatives' letter years after his death that said William had died of an accident in his 53rd year but this has not been supported by any other document. It is also much too late for him to purchase land in 1734 that we are certain he bought from his signature on major documents in his lifetime with a characteristic W. It should be noted that in Virginia, men could purchase land at age 16. This means that he was born before 1719.

He signs the same "W" as his mark on his land purchases in Virginia and his will in what is present day Newberry Co., South Carolina. William Jay sold his 245 acres on Sept. 5, 1748. (C-819, 2330) Here is his deed of sale. William was the grantor in a deed selling land to Thomas Rutherford on Eavits Runn in Shenandoah near Charlestown on Sept. 5, 1748 whereby Thomas Rutherford became the Indentured servant for William Jay for a period of one year from that date. He lived in the Parish of Fairfax at the time. There was no wife listed giving up her dower rights, but that is apparently not unusual in this county's records at the time. Other Jay sons do not have their wives give up their dower rights either in their deed records that are known to be married at the time. (C-1231, 2330)

I transcribed a copy of this deed record below. 1748 Sale of land from William Jay of Fairfax Co., VA to Thomas Rutherford of Frederick Co., Virginia.

One source says that our William was renting 100 acres of land in an unknown location in 1746. This reference probably came from "Abstracts of Wills, Inventories, and Administration Accounts of Frederick Co. Virginia". It lists William Jay under rentals with 100 acres. By 1751, William and his family lived in North Carolina. On Aug. 2, 1755, Cane Creek Meeting House records indicate that William was accepted into membership "by request" (C-862) and that the family moved to Casewell Co., North Carolina. He had apparently converted to the Quaker faith at this point.

On May 6, 1756, William was granted 395 or 495 acres by an Earl of Granville in Orange Co., NC on the northeast side of North Fork of Flat River. He deeded 50 acres to his son-in-law, John Satterfield, and John's brother James, that same day. He apparently deeded land adjoining this property to his son, Joseph Jay on Oct. 3, 1767. It is suspected that this was a wedding gift as Joseph wasn't in his father's will. In fact, here are deeds and further detail that give us information about he and his children.1756, June 8 - William Jay to John Satterfield, 50 acres for five pounds lying on the N E side of the N. Fork of the Flatt River - part of a tract of land formerly granted to Wm. Jay by Deed from Lord Carteret, Earl of Granville; Orange Co. NC Deed Book 1, p. 229 (Land transfer to his son-in-law, John Satterfield, husband of daughter Sarah Jay.)1761, May 12 - William Jay to William Jay, Jr., 115 acres; "Register of Orange County, North Carolina Deeds, 1752-1768, and 1793", transcribed by Eve B. Weeks1765, May 14 - William Jay to James Jay, 120 acres; "Register of Orange County, North Carolina Deeds, 1752-1768, and 1793", transcribed by Eve B. Weeks (He gave this land to his son James at about the time of his marriage.)1767, October 3 - William Jay to Joseph Jay, 239 acres for ten pounds lying on both sides of N. Fork of Flatt River, joining Fords land on the west and James Jays on the East, beginning at a white oak on Hosea Tapleys -- white Oak on sd William Jay Senr - part of tract of land formerly granted to Edward Moore from Lord Earl of Granville, dated the sixth day of February 1761; Orange Co. NC Deed Book 3, p. 445 (He gave this land to his son Joseph at about the time of his marriage also.)These deed records basically verify that these are William's oldest sons as traditionally held by Eli Jay in his writings on the family given to him by his father when he was a young man.

In 1771, William signed the petition to have Caswell Co. set off from Orange County, North Carolina. On Feb. 1, 1772, William and children were granted a certificate to move to South Carolina. His three oldest sons were married by then, William, Joseph and James. William died within the year. Mary remarried shortly thereafter because on Oct. 5, 1772, Mary Vestal Jay wrote an apology for having married out of unity and requested a letter of acceptance for the Bush River MM, SC records. Mary and William's five youngest children joined the Quaker church shortly after their move to Bush River. (C-1017)

The birth of several of their children from John through David are recorded in the Bush River MM records for Newberry, South Carolina. Several of their children appear to have married in Newberry Co., South Carolina. William and Mary Jay are listed as residents of Berkley Co., Dist. 96, South Carolina. (C-457, p.104)

William died shortly after moving to South Carolina from an accident. It occurred shortly before the marriage of his son John to Elizabeth Pugh. He is listed as deceased when his daughter Mary married Charles Patty on Mar. 11, 1773. His will was written on Nov. 23, 1772 and proven on Aug. 31, 1773. In it, he made bequeaths to his wife Mary and children John, David (underage), Mary, Rachel and Lydia. Son John was named Executor. His oldest children were not mentioned as he had already transferred them land. (C-169, 803, 958)

William's descendants DNA is a match to descendants of the following Joseph Jay. This means they have a common ancestor in somewhat close range to each other. We simply don't know who it is. As a Revolutionary War soldier, we know that Joseph was born July 14, 1753 in Burlington Co. NJ. After the war, he lived in Hunterdon Co. NJ and died November 30, 1835 in Falls Township, Bucks Co. PA. His wife was Eleanor Nelson. In the Jay Family Index #4763, his father is listed as Joseph Jay. We do not know the source of this information but there is an adult Joseph Jay living in Burlington County, New Jersey as early as 1739 when he voted and is listed in election returns.

This Joseph or his possible son Joseph likely account for an adult Joseph living in Nottingham Twp., Burlington Co., New Jersey in the 1758-1774 tax records for that territory. Family notes in this index from Joseph's (b. 1753) grandson, Douglass Hiles Jay, son of Nelson, says that it was passed down to him that Joseph's family came from England where they had had an estate. Here is the account of it available at : http://www.entechdesign.com/jaydna/jaydnastatus5.htm. "There are tantalizing notes found in the Jay Family Index concerning Joseph Jay (born 1753) is as follows: Douglas Hiles Jay, son of Nelson Jay [a son of Joseph born 1753] said Joseph Jay (Note - possibly the father of Joseph Jay [and Nelson's grandfather]) was born in England, and [Douglas] remembered a long conversation between Nelson Jay and his brother Smith Jay about an estate belonging to their father Joseph Jay in England, about papers that were lost, and of other papers in the effects of Joseph Jay, then deceased. This was also the remembrance of Mary W. (Jay) Butler, [wife of John W. Butler and daughter of Smith Jay]. The conclusions were that money was too scarce in the family to risk any chances of going to England to hunt it up. Joseph Jay had lent the little he had for the purpose of carrying on the war, and was so great a patriot that he would accept no return, and fearing that his children might do so, destroyed the papers showing the fact, and died a poor man....We are currently trying to 'run-down' the source and the context of this family tradition which did not appear in the original printing of the JFI."

William married Mary Elizabeth VESTAL, * before 1743 in Virginia, Colonial America. Mary (daughter of William VESTAL, Jr. and Elizabeth MERCER) was born in 1723 in , Chester, PA; died in 1818 in New Burlington, Fulton, OH, USA; was buried in 1818 in Burlington, Warren, OH, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Joseph married Lucinda LEISURE in 1721 in Frederick, Virginia, USA. Lucinda was born in 1703 in Salem, Salem, New Jersey; died in 1800 in Bedford Co., PA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

James Jay settled in southwestern Person Co., North Carolina. He was a private in the Revolutionary War from North Carolina. (C-458, p. 1587) He was a Baptist preacher. He died in Person Co., NC in 1833. and is buried in Jay Cemetery off of Snipes Rd (near Bushy Fork). Some of his descendants live there today. It was the same land he originally lived on in Orange Co., NC, but it became Caswell and then Person County through boundary changes. (C-642) He and his other two oldest brothers were not in their father's will supposedly because they stayed behind in North Carolina when the elder William moved to South Carolina. (C-169, 831) His full name was James George according to his descendant named JJ from Texas. (C-817)

James married Mary VOSS about 1765 in Hillsboro, Orange, NC, USA. Mary (daughter of Joseph VOSS and Mary Susan DOVE) was born in 1745 in , Person, NC; died in 1795 in , Person, NC. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

James married Martha LEE on 24 Jan 1798 in , Person, NC. Martha died in 1820-1824 in Person County, North Carolina, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

James married Elizabeth BROWN on 20 Dec 1824 in , Person, NC. Elizabeth was born before 1765; died in 1839 in Person County, North Carolina, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She was not in William J's will. (C-169) She like her brothers were given land near the time of their marriages by their father, William. Being a women, land was given to her husband instead. This occurred when William received a patent of land in North Carolina. They had traveled with William Jay to Casewell County, NC, and lived in the same places, all supporting the belief that Sarah is also a daughter of William. (C-1200) Supporting the fact that she is not William's child is the earliest account of the children of William Jay and Mary Vestal. It was taken from an interview of William's son John to his son Eli Jay around 1800 who remembered 7 siblings, their names and birth order. Sarah was not listed amongst them when this information was published in 1848. However, this could be because she was the child of a previous marriage to William. (C-839)

Sarah married John Isaac SATTERFIELD about 1756 in , Orange, VA, USA. John (son of Unknown SATTERFIELD) was born on 12 Mar 1743 in Queen Anne's County, Maryland, United States of America; died in 1802 in Orange County, North Carolina, United States of America; was buried about 1802 in Roxboro, Person County, North Carolina, United States of America. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He and his elder siblings were not mentioned in his father's will. (C-168b) One of his wives is occasionally listed as Mary Cothran, but this is likely a mix-up with his brother Joseph who was married to a Mary Cothran/Cochran. William Jay served under Zachary Brooks as a private in the Penn. Regiment of artillery, Continental Line, during the Revolutionary War (C-170, 1328). This information is again verified in the DAR lineage Book, Vol. 128, p.92 (c1916). However, this later source differs in a few instances. It states that William Jay was born in 1746 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and died in 1812 in Newberry Co., South Carolina. This birth date and place could be correct but the death date does not fit with William's will administered 28th Feb. 1797 in Newberry Co., South Carolina. Vickie Leimback listed that William II was born in 1744 in Chester Co., Pennsylvania (C-611)

William Jay received part of the moveable goods from George Cox's will dated 21 Dec. 1789 in Newberry, South Carolina. (C-461) In the 1790 96th District, Newberry, SC Census, William is listed with the following household members: 2-6-3, 0-0. (C-974) That probably means that his children before Charlotte were married and living on their own at that time. A William, Jr.(probably this William) was disowned by the Quakers on 6/26/1790. The reason was not given. (C-457, p.104) A William Jay along with Thomas Wright and others took an inventory of the estate of James Cox of Newberry Co., decd., dated 16 July 1794. A William Jay along with probable son William Jay, Jacob Balinger, Daniel Clary, John Allison, John Wright, Jesse Palmer and Wright Coate prepared notes on the account of the estate of William Gilliam decd. in 1795/96 in Newberry, South Carolina. (C-461)

In his will dated Jan. 7, 1797, he listed all of his adult children by his first wife, and only one child by his second wife Margaret, who was Susana. He specifically makes bequeaths to his "beloved daughters and sons namely Mary, Sarah, William, David, James, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Layton, Ann, Deboror (and) ... Susana one shilling sterling. The rest, John, Charles, Tabitha and Isaac seemed to be lumped in as the children of Margaret. They are not named. She is simply given the rest of the money to "rase her children". Joseph Reagin, John and Benjamin Coppock were witnesses. The executors were John Jay and David Jay, Sen. (C-832, 867) His elder children received more than their one shilling sterling, however, as per court record filed in August 1797.

"The State of South Carolina Ninety Six District--I ...Jas Mayson one of the Judges of Newberry County do hereby certify unto all whome it may Concern that Margaret Jay the widow of the within Named William Jay Des. did this day appear before me and upon being privatly and serparetly Examined by me did declare that She do freely volunterily and without any Compulsion dred or feare of any person or persons whomsoever renouce release and forever relinquish unto the within named William Jay his heirs and assigns all her Intrust and Estate and also all her rite and clame of dower of in or to all and Singualer the promises within menchened and released Given under my hand and seal this fist day of August--1797 Jas. Mayson J.N.Co (Judge Newberry County)". (C-833, 2109) The sale of his estate had many asundry items sold often to his brothers, possible sons, son-in-laws, etc. It was certified by George Arnold, James Mills, and Isaac Hollingsworth. (C-837)

William married Elizabeth LNU est 1760 in , Tioga, Pennsylvania, USA. Elizabeth was born on 14 Oct 1742 in Winchester, Frederick Co., Virginia, USA; died on 4 Mar 1777 in Edgefield, Newberry Co., South Carolina, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

William married Margaret VOSS est 1778 in , , SC, USA. Margaret (daughter of Joseph VOSS and Mary Susan DOVE) was born in 1755 in North Carolina, United States; died after 1 Aug 1797 in Newberry, Newberry, South Carolina, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In Oct of 1767, Joseph's father deeds him land. This would indicate that Joseph was at least 18 and probably more likely 21 years of age. It is possible that it was a wedding present in which case Joseph's estimated wedding date of 1770 is incorrect. In 1771 Joseph signed the petition to have Caswell Co. established from Orange Co., North Carolina. (C-167) He was not in his father's will. (C-169) There is a Joseph Jay in the 1790 Newberry Co., SC census that could be this Joseph. In his household there were 2 males over 16, 3 under 16 and 2 females. His will was probated on Aug. 25, 1806 in Abbeville District, South Carolina. It was apparently stolen from the courthouse and is no longer available. (C-957)

Family/Spouse: Mary (Minnie) COTHRAN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

This Deborah has only been in one source as the child of William and Mary Vestal Jay. This info. from J. Jay came from the book, "Settlement and Some First Families of Back Creek Valley", p. 188. She was the wife of James McCool who was disowned in 1772 for singing, swearing, dancing and gambling. She and her children remained in good standing with the church. In 1773, they apparently bought land in District 96, Bush River, SC, but sold it and returned to Virginia in 1777. (C-961) She is also not listed as the daughter of William and Mary in an interview of their son John in the late 1790's, early 1800's about his brothers and sisters. (C-839)

Deborah married James MCCOOL, Jr. about 1768. James (son of James Adams MCCOOL and Anne WRIGHT) was born on 12 Dec 1747; died in 1804 in , Frederick, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

My source, C-611, gives John's birth place as North Carolina. John received 200 acres of land in Berkley Co., SC in his father's will adjoining the plantation where his father had resided. (C-169) John moved from SC to Waynesville, Ohio in 1803. He was a dealer in merchandise. He and his family moved to Miami Co., Ohio in 1808. As a merchandiser, he made two trips by wagon and 8 horse team to Baltimore along with his son Walter Denny Jay. (C-800) He and 9 of his 11 children lived in surrounding lands known as the "Jay Settlement". They founded the first Quaker friends in Ohio and the church was still active in 1958. He is the only Jay mentioned in "Newberry Annals" and the article was so interesting that I'm transcribing it here. "John Jay merits special mention, the removal of whom and family was more loss to Newberry than that of any other.

He was married during the Revolution, and his seven sons and three daughters were born and, in part, married there. Courage, industry, enterprise and thrift were characteristics of the entire family. He and his sons were remarkable for rearing and training horses. No other seven brothers drove as many fair horse teams as they; could crack their whips as loud and haul as heavy loads. In these early days grain, flour, pork and merchandise were transported on wagons and often long trips had to be made. Their names were Jesse, Samuel, Walt D. (always called Denny), Thomas, John, William and James. All lived to advanced age except Thomas, who died soon after the birth of his fourth child. Five of them lived on lands adjoining and reared such families that they long had the name of the 'Jay Settlement,' a name that carried with it the idea of industry, enterprise, success and independent fortune, coupled with such honesty, probity and morality as made them a blessing to the country.

John, the father, died in their midst in or about 1828, having lived to see his good example followed by both his sons and daughters, all retaining their rights in church and some being pre-eminent in it." (C-296) This family can also easily be found in Hinshaw's Quaker records. (C-1017)

He is likely the John Jay who lived in Newberry Co., SC in the 1800 census with 1 son under ten, 2 between 16-26, 2 between 16-26, 1 between 26-45, 2 daughters under 10, 1 between 16-26, 1 wife between 26-45. (C-922) He had moved to Miami Co., OH before 1808.

On Oct 22, 1808 he and his single sons, William and James, his wife and daughters Lyddia and Jane were received on certificate from Miami MM in West Branch MM also in Miami Co., Ohio He was in the deed records in 1813 in Monroe Twp., Miami Co., Ohio in 1813, 1816, and 1827. He probably is the John who purchased land in Union and Spring Creek Twp., Miami Co., Ohio in 1828, a year before he died. He left a will in 1829 in Miami Co., Ohio which was probated that same year. (C-1025)

John married Elizabeth (Betty) PUGH on 4 Mar 1773 in Bush River M.M., Newberry, SC, USA. Elizabeth (daughter of Thomas PUGH and Anne WRIGHT) was born on 6 Sep 1755 in Hopewell M.M., Frederick, VA, USA; died on 23 Apr 1821 in , Miami, OH, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

There are several contradictory pieces of information on Mary's death date and place. However, it is clear that she moved to the Little Miami area of Ohio on certificate dated 9/25/1802. She is listed as Mary Paty, wife of Charles. She and many other Quakers arrived by 12/25/1802. (C-1017)

Mary married Charles PATTY on 11 Mar 1773 in , Berkeley, SC. Charles (son of Unknown PATTY) died after 1802 in Of Miami, OH. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"On certificate dated Aug. 28, 1804, Rachel Jay Arnold and her ancient mother, Mary Jay, were accepted into the Society of Friends in Ohio from Bush River, South Carolina." (C-1017)

Family/Spouse: George ARNOLD. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She and her husband came to Ohio in 1802 from Bush River, South Carolina. (C-1017) D.J. Rowe doesn't believe that she is the Lydia Jay who married George Arnold, as there are several Lydia Jays who were contemporaries. (C-1319)

Family/Spouse: George ARNOLD. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: James MILLS. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Source C-611 gives a May 26, 1765 birth date for David Jay. David would have only been about 7 when his father bequeathed him 150 acres in his will. (C-169) During the Revolutionary War, according to family tradition, he was supposedly bedridden with the measles when Tories and Indians came to his home. His parents (only his mother was living at the time) rolled him in bed cloths and he crawled into a hollow log where he stayed all night to escape being killed.

He is the David Jay who became a Methodist Minister and was ordained a Deacon by Bishop Georgia on Oct. 3, 1819 in Nashville. (There is a note in the Jay family index that says this is not this David as he was never Methodist, but this is disagreed with in sources like Margaret Jay's 1998 book, C-964, C-2141).

A published account of the family submitted in 1948 sourced by the grandson of William and Mary Jay through an interview of William's son, John in the late 1790's or early 1800's lists all the children of William and Mary Jay in the same order as the Jay Family Index. It does not list sister, Sarah or Deborah to Reverend David Jay. It states that David was a jovial methodist preacher who was quite social with the young people. (C-839, 1017) He was married previously to Elizabeth Earp and one second hand source says this was Margaret Martha Brown. (C-1318, 1950)

After being ordained a Deacon, he moved from Warren Co.?, TN to Lumpkin Co., Georgia, then Alabama.

His will is transcribed as follows by Vince King in his book on the Georgia Jays. "Georgia, Lumpkin County====In the name of God Amen - I David Jay of the County of Lumpkin and State of Georgia being at present in my proper mind thanks be to God, calling to mind the mortality of man. Knowing it to be the destination for all men not to die - I do make and ordain this my last will and testament viz. principally and first of all I commend my soul into the hands of my great creator - Jesus Christ who gave it and my body to be decently buried and as touching such worldly estate - wherewith it hath pleased almighty God to bless me in this world with.....I give and bequeth the same in manner and form following viz.1st I do give and bequeth unto Elizabeth my dearly beloved wife all my estate whereof I die possessed of.

David Jay Senr.Attested:Joseph W. GamblinWilliam S. WatersDavid Jay Jnr."(C-800, 830, 839, 964, EL)

Reverend married Elizabeth EARP on 14 Mar 1795 in , Newberry, SC. Elizabeth (daughter of Daniel EARP) was born about 1781 in , Fairfax, VA, USA; died in 1850 in , Lumpkin, GA, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: Unknown UNKNOWN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: Elizabeth Ann DAVIS. Elizabeth was born on 11 Oct 1758 in Pennsylvania; died in 1821 in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Sarah is also listed as Elizabeth in some sources. Her father might be a Joseph Jay or a James Jay living somewhat near her husband, Nathan Wright in the 1790 Newberry Co., SC census. She married a Quaker, Nathan Wright, and for this was dismissed from her religion. (C-1959)

Listed 2nd in Father's will.

Sarah married Nathan WRIGHT on 25 Jul 1778 in Newberry, South Carolina, USA. Nathan (son of John C. WRIGHT, * and Rachel WELLS, Minister) was born on 7 Oct 1758 in , Orange, NC; died after 1805 in , Newberry, SC, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Listed 3rd in father's will, he was known as Tailor Billy. He purchased land from his father's estate for $200.00 in 1797. (C-168, 800) In 1790, there is a William Jay who had the following members: 1-1-1, 0-0 and lived in the 96th District, Edgefield Co., South Carolina.. (CL-974) This William Jay who was living in Edgefield Co., SC in the 1800 census had 4 males under 10, and 1 between 10 and 16 with himself listed in the fourth column (pr. between age 26 and 45). (C-922)

Family/Spouse: Lydia MCMILLAN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Listed 4th in father's will. He first moved to Warren Co., Ohio.(C-818) From 1822-1842, he and his brother's family lived in the Center Meeting in Northern Wayne Co., Indiana and finally settled in Henry Co., Iowa. (C-839) He might be the David Jay who had 1 son between 10-16, 1 between 16-26, himself from 26-45, 3 daughters under 10, 1 daughter from 10-16, and a wife or daughter from age 16-26 in the 1800 Newberry Co., SC Census records. (C-922)

David married Ruth MCMILLAN after 1783. Ruth was born on 29 Jan 1770; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

James was listed 5th in father's will. According to the Jay Family Index, James came to Clinton Co., Ohio in 1805. Quaker records however, indicate that he was still in the Bush River Monthly Meeting area of SC in 1809, where he and his family are listed in a visit from New Garden Monthly Meeting Members as James JAY and wife, Jemimah and children, Mills, Alexander, Mary, Rhoda, Layton, James, Ede (Edith), Dempsey, Isaac and Sarah.

He could easily be the James Jay listed as living in Newberry Co., SC in the 1800 Census with 4 sons under 10, himself from 26-45, 2 daughters under ten and his wife between 26-45. (C-922)

At any rate, he eventually settled on land belonging to his wife's uncle, George Arnold in Clinton Co., Ohio They moved to Center Meeting in Wayne Co., IN in 1822 and to Henry Co., Iowa in 1842. (C-800)

James married Jemima MILLS on 7 Apr 1791 in Bush River M.M., Newberry, SC, USA. Jemima (daughter of John MILLS) was born in 1768 in , Newberry, SC, USA; died in 1868 in , Henry, IA, USA; was buried in Salem, Henry County, Iowa, United States of America. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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 relationship at this point in time between her and Sarah Cook.

Elizabeth married Thomas WRIGHT in 1785. Thomas (son of John C. WRIGHT, * and Rachel WELLS, Minister) was born on 8 Aug 1761 in Newberry, Newberry, South Carolina, United States; died on 30 Apr 1835 in , Randolph, IN, USA; was buried about 1 May 1835 in White River, Randolph, IN, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Layton is listed as the child of Wm. Jr. and Elizabeth in Medlin's Quaker Records instead of the son of Mary. (C-265) He is listed 8th in his father's will. Layton, wife and family of six children were issued certificates of removal from Bush River and Cane Creek on 9/25/1802 to the Westland MM in Washington Co., Pennsylvania. Even though their destination was Ohio, that Pennsyvania MM was the closest one to file their certificates with at the time. (C-1297)

They came to Ohio from South Carolina by way of Tenn. and KY. They crossed the Ohio River at Cincinnati on a flat boat with the horses tied behind it. They leased land in Chester Twp., Clinton Co., Ohio to begin with and then moved to Miami Co., Ohio in 1809. (C-800) He and his family were supposedly the first Jay's to move to Ohio. His wife's family moved with them. Their land patent was signed by George Washington and was still in existence in 1951 in the possession of Cassius Milton Jay. However, his children are rumored to have disposed of all of his records after his death. (C-813)

He is said to have married a White after his first wife's death. In his will dated 1812, he names William Jay (son?) and Benjamin Coppock his executors. (C-864, 1950) Some accounts say he died of drowning, but one Jay researcher, R. Harry Jay, believes that his will made in proximity to his death indicates otherwise. There is also an account that he died of "Milk disease." (C-1079)

Layton married Elizabeth MILLS on 30 May 1793 in Bush River M.M., Newberry, SC, USA. Elizabeth (daughter of John MILLS) was born in 1772 in , Newberry, SC, USA; died on 28 Dec 1852 in , Miami, OH, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Charlotte was a twin. She was listed 7th in her father's will. (C-864) Her husband apparently played around on her for which she was said to have left him often. She might have been the Charlotte who married a Samuel Thompson in 1817 in Miami Co., Ohio. (C-1025, 1950)

Charlotte married David HAMMER on 21 May 1798. David (son of John HAMMER and Margaret WRIGHT) died on 26 Dec 1845 in Salem, Henry, IA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Anne is listed as the daughter of William and Elizabeth Jay in Medlin's "Quakers of SC and Georgia." (C-265) She is listed 9th in her father's will. Anna was left to raise seven children when her husband John died. She brought them to Miami Co., Ohio before 1809. Anna Jay Coppock bound her son, Layton, apparently as an indentured servant or apprentice in 1826 to Henry Coate of Miami Co., Ohio. Deed Bk.5, p. 614. (C-955, E)

Her birth date and death dates are listed with 7 year differences, indicating to me that her birth date was calculated from her death date. One set of birth and death dates for her are Apr 25, 1765 in Newberry Co., SC and Apr 9, 1821 in Miami Co., Ohio Another set are May 5, 1772 and Apr 9, 1828 in Miami Co., Ohio. I do not know which is correct at this point, though the 1772 date more closely puts her into the 9th child position in her father's will. (C-2109)

Anna married John COPPOCK, Jr. on 7 Jan 1790 in Bush River M.M., Newberry, SC, USA. John (son of John COPPOCK and Abigail (Skillern) SCHELLENGER) was born on 20 Aug 1766 in , , MD, USA; died on 9 Apr 1828 in , Miami, OH, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She is listed 10th in her father's will. Deborah died three weeks after her father while giving birth to twins. Her birth date on Apr. 25, 1772 in her and her husband's family bible is in conflict with her sister Anna's birth date. We're not sure which is correct.

Family/Spouse: John ANDERSON. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

This Mary is often stated to be the Mary who is the d. of William Jay and Elizabeth Natherson. I've seen dates where their daughter, Mary is born on Jan. 4, 1777 or Jan. 4, 1767. If the later is correct, then it's still possible that she's the one married to William Coate. William and Elizabeth Natherson Jay do have a daughter named Mary as she is in her father's will. (C-949, 1698) Mary is alive in 1807 when she witnessed the sale of her husband's land to James Brooks in Newberry District, South Carolina. She was also received on certificate from the Bush River Monthly Meeting by the Miami M.M. in 1808. She isn't in the 1820 census with her husband, but she is supposedly in deed records in 1820 and 1822 when they sell off their land in Miami Co., Ohio. This does need checked for her signature, since the 1822 date occurred in July and she supposedly died in Mar of 1822.

Mary married William COATS before 1785. William (son of Big John COATS and Rachel WRIGHT) was born about 1768; died about Aug 1826 in , Marion, IN, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

My Uncle has a 20 cM match on chromosome 13 with T572311 John Solon, both descendants of this Susannah Jay. Laurie Christine Rasch's application to the DAR gives Susannah's birth date as Nov. 19 1778. This Nov. 19, 1778 birth date is also in Charles Coppock's lineage in the Krell collection. It is listed elsewhere as Dec. 1778, 12/22/1778 (C-813, 864, 1430), 11/31/1778 (C-1460) or Nov. 20, 1778 (C-2109). The Nov. 19 date is based correctly upon her burial info which states that she was 80 years, 6 months and 25 days old when she died on Jun 14, 1859. The State of Ohio, Vital Records confirmed this as it stated that her birth date is Nov. 19, 1778 as recorded in a genealogy chart they prepared in 1962 for Horace Coppock as provided by Annie Natetelli Waloszek. She is listed 11th in her father's will. She joined the Quakers in South Carolina. (C-839, 2109) Her father, William, is also confirmed in Hinshaw when she married Benjamin Coppock.

Susannah married Benjamin J. COPPOCK, Sr. * on 25 Jun 1796 in Bush River M.M., Newberry, SC, USA. Benjamin (son of Joseph COPPOCK and Jane WILSON) was born on 30 Oct 1772 in , Cecil, MD, USA; died on 3 Mar 1850 in , Miami, OH, USA; was buried about 4 Mar 1850 in Ludlow Falls, Miami, OH, USA.

Notes:

The following records probably apply to this John Jay. 1) Miami Co OH Recorder's Deed book 7 p 270 John Jay to Henry Mikel, formerly Butler Co OH on 9 Sep 1828, the NW corner of NW 1/4 S15 T6 R5 for $99, 39.60 acres. 2) Henry Mikel's probable brother, Wiley Michael/Mikel, also bought land from John Jay as shown 3. 1828 Purchased from John Jay 39.60 acres NE corner of NW 1/4 S15 T6N R5 (Union Twp) Miami Co. Cost was $99. Daniel Mickel was a witness.

Isaac married Martha PEARSON in 1807. Martha was born in 1780; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Walter Denny Jay, was "a most remarkable man. One who knew phrenology said he had a head much like that of Napoleon Bonaparte, and in many traits he resembled him... concentration ...courage with prudence.." according to the "Annals of Newberry." He is likely the "Denny Jay" along with his brother Samuel Jay who were operators on the Underground Railroad in Montgomery Co., Ohio.
