My JAY Family

Generation One

1. Thomas (Joy)¹ JAY (940) was born in 1611 at England. He married Jean (Joan) Gallop (941), daughter of Capt. John Gallop (1523) and Christable Bruchett (1535), circa 1643 at Boston, Mass. He died in October 1678 at Higham, Mass. He was buried at Higham, Mass; in the church yard of the oldest protesant metting house in the USA.

JOY, THOMAS, colonist, was born in 1610 in Norfolk county, England. He came to America in 1635 and settled in Boston, where he owned much land on which historic edifices have been built, such as the mansions of Governor Hutchinson and Sir Charles Henry Frankland, the home of Paul Revere and

Faneuil Hall. He purchased large tracts from Indians in Maine and the interior of Massachusetts, and possessed many acres in Hingham and Lynn. He was an architect and builder, and constructed residences, wharves, bridges and warehouses in Boston, Charlestown and Brookline. He was a signer of the

remonstrance and petition of 1646, which was a prayer for the extension of the right of suffrage among the colonists of Massachusetts bay. In 1657 he

was entrusted with the construction of the town house of Boston, the most important public work up to that time undertaken in New England. He became a

freeman in 1665; was held for trial in 1676 for reproaching the authorities of the country during King Philip's war; and in 1658 was a member of the

Ancient and Honorable Artillery company. He died Oct. 21, 1678:

Name:

Aug. 31, 1657, the above-named committee having probably reported to the town, Thomas Marshall, Samuel Cole (1637), William Paddy (1652), Joshua

Scottow (1645), and Jeremy Houchin (1641), were given full power "to engage the town for the payment for the house," and they appointed Edward Hutchinson (1638) and John Hull (1660) commissioners to attend the work. These two commissioners entered into a contract with Thomas Joy (1658) and Bartholomew Bernad to erect a building, as specified in the contract, for the three hundred pounds of the Keayne legacy, and a further sum of one hundred pounds to be subscribed. The cost of the building exceeded the contract price, and the final payment shows the cost of the building to have been six hundred and eighty pounds. One hundred and four citizens contributed the excess over the three hundred pounds of Capt. Keayne's (1637) legacy. From the contract we learn that the edifice was sixty-six feet in length, and thirty-six feet in breadth, set upon twenty-one pillars of full ten feet high, from pedestal to

capital. The whole building jetted over three feet, without the pillars, every way. The second story was ten feet, and there was a half story above

that, with three gable ends over it upon each side. There was a walk upon the top of the building fourteen or fifteen feet wide, with two turrets and

turned balusters and rails round about the walk, according to a model or draft presented to the commissioners by Thomas Joy (1658) and Bartholomew

Benad. The date of the completion of the edifice does not appear in the records. but the contract with Joy and Benad specifies that it was to be

crected by June 30, 1658, and covered and shingled within six weeks later. The final settlement with the contractors was ordered Feb. 28, 1660-1.

He It has not been proven that William Jay 1720 was the son of John Jay and Ann Orchard. Therefore it is only a theory one of a number of them.

10. William⁵ JAY (1776) (William⁴, John³, John², Thomas¹) was born circa 1745 at Winchester, Frederick County, Virginia. He married Elizabeth Layton (792) circa 1763 at Tioga Co., Pennsylvania. He married Margaret Voss (793) circa 1778 at South Carolina.⁽⁷⁾ He died before 28 February 1797 at Newberry District, South Carolina.

Reference: 1778. He was Farmer. He Rev. War Veteran Served as private in Pennsylvania Regiment of Artillery, Continental Line (4th Reg. Artillery). (See DAR Application of Margaret Jay Anderson (#127290), see DAR lineage Book, Vol. 128, p. 92). He also furnished provisions for the Army as he was issued 'Fifteen Pounds fifteen Shillings and four Pence farthing Sterling for Provisions for the Militia as pr.' (Stub Entries to indents issued in payment of Claims Against South Carolina Growing Out of the Revolution' Book X--Part II, No. 3305.) William Jay received 80.00 by certificate no. 77562 (Pennsylvania Artillery, under Lieut. Col F. Proctor, paid to November 4, 1783. (Pierces Register, 17th Report of the NSDAR, p. 272.) This is a Register of the Certificates Issued by John Pierce, Esquire, Paymaster General and Commission of Army Accounts for the United States, to Officers and Soldiers of the Continental Army Under Act of July 4, 1783. NOTE: DAR App. #127290 p. 2, originally stated source of service record as Pa Archives 5th Series Vol 3. This is lined out and S.C. Stub Indents Book X Pt. 2, P. 133 is inserted. Place of birth is also indicated as Lancaster PA (1746) on this application. Could there have been 2 William Jays? One who served in the PA Regiment who was born in Lancaster Co., PA in 1746 and another William Jay (probably the correct one for this lineage) who furnished provisions for the Army from South Carolina and who was born in Frederick County, VA in 1744-45? More research is needed. I am unsure as to when the family actually moved to South Carolina. Hinshaw states that Bush River was formed in 1772. This William also bought land from his father's estate in 1772 as indicated below. It was probably this William who in 1771 signed a petition along with his father and brother Joseph to have Caswell County set off from Orange Co., (N.C., Col. Records, N.C. Vol. 9, p. 90) indicating they were probably still in N.C. in 1771. If this is true, all children born before 1771 would most likely have been born in Orange Co. (to become Guilford County in 1770) rather than Newberry, S.C. William Wade Hinshaw Index to Quaker Meeting Records, Iowa, Salem Monthly Meeting, Henry County, p. 97 states: 'James, s. of William & Elizabeth, b. 10-25-1766, Guilford Co., N.C., w. Jemima.' 'History of Edgefield County, S.C., From the Earliest Settlements to 1897' by John Chapman, p. 47, states: 'General Butler's sister, Elizabeth, became the wife of Zachary Smith Brooks, Lieutenant during the Revolution and afters Colonel of State Cavalry. . . . I give here the muster roll of a company of cavalry commanded by Col. Brooks while he was still only a captain. . . .' A William Jay is among those listed. (Note: Edgefield County is adjacent to Newberry District] 1790 Census Ninety-Six District, Edgefield County, S.C. lists a William Jay with 1 free white male over 16, 1 free white male under 16, and 1 free white female. This is probably his son William. It appears that William Jay, Jr. bought land from his father's estate as evidenced by the following document also retained with the will and probate records of William Jay, Jr. in Newberry, South S.C.: 'State of South Carolina Know all men by these presants that we John Jay and David Jay of Newberry County in the State aforesaid Executors to the Last Will and Testament of William Jay Dec'd and by the authority thereof in consideration of the sum of two hundred dollars to us in hand paid by William Jay of Newberry County in the State aforesaid have granted sold and released unto the said William Jay all that plantation or tract of land containing one hundred and sisc acres and half more or less situated lying and being in the County of Newberry and in the State aforesaid.

William Jay made a will dated January 7, 1797, proved February 28, 1797, which is on file in Newberry, S. C. 'In the name of God Amen, I William Jay of the State of South Caroline, Newberry County being very sick and weak of body, but in perfect mind and memory thanks be given to Almighty god -- caling to mine the mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to Die - do make and ordain this my Last Will and Testament - that is to say princepaly and first of all I give and recommend my soul into the hand of Almighty God, who gave it, and my body recommend to the Earth to be buryed in Deasant and Christionlike maner at the Discretion of my Executors, Nothing Doubting but that I shall receive it again at the general Resorection by the mighty power of God - and as touching such Worthy Estate wherewith it hath pleased God to bless me with in this life - I give and dispose of the same in the folowing maner and form - First I give and bequeath unto my Dearly beloved Daughters and sons namely Mary Sarah William David James Elizabeth Charlote Laten Ann Deboror all and each of them one shiling and no more - also my beloved Daughter Susana I give one shiling sterling and no more - Item - all the rest of my Estate I leave to be sold at the Discretion of my Executors - John Jay and David Jay, Senr., whom I ordain constitute and apoint my Executors to this my Last Will and testament - and first all my just debts be payd - and all the mony that may be over and above after my debts be paid - I give and bequeath to my beloved Wife - Margaret Jay - the better to inable her to rase her children for that use and no other, - During her life and widowhood - and I do hereby Disanul Revoke and Disalow, all other former wills bequeths or Executors, by me in any (ways willed or bequethed*) - Ratifying this and no other to be my Last Will and testament - - - - In witnefs wereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal the seventh Day of January one thousand Seven hundred and Ninety Seven.

(*may not be accurate) I have also seen William Jay's date and place of birth as 1746, Lancaster, PA . No source is given. March 22, 1797, Inventory and appraisal of estate was certified by George Arnold, James Mills and Isaac Hollingworth. The following document also appears with the will and probate, 'The State of South Carolina Ninty Sisc District I - Jas Mayson one of the Judges of Newbery County do hereby certify unto all whome it may Concern that Margret Jay the widow of the within named William Jay Des. did this day appeare before me and upon being privatly and serparetly Examined by me did declare that She do freely volenterely and without any compulshon dred or feare of any person or persons whomsoever renounce 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 premises within menchened and released given under my hand and seal this first day of August - 1797.'

He married Ruth McMillan (783) circa 1783; There is no proof of Ruth's maiden name, but I do have copies of land transfers that are signed by David & Ruth JAY in Randolph Co.,IN so we do know her first name was "Ruth". The surname of "McMillan" is given in thr "JFI." He died before 11 February 1828 at Randolph Co., Indiana; David Jay wrote his will 24 Feb 1827 and was recored 31 July 1827 in 11feb 1828 David Jay's will was placed in probate. 1937 Nathan Hockett was apointed guardin for Bazil Jay. so David died between 1827 and 1828.⁽¹³⁾

David and Ruth Jay sold property to son Joseph Jay in Randolph County, Indiana on April 29, 1826 (Deed Book A, p. 182) but Ruth is not mentioned in David's will so perhaps she died between April 29, 1826 and February 24, 1827. David, in his will, provides for a son 'Basal' listed as 'idiot' and 'insane' (depending on which document you are reading) by leaving him 'the profits and incomes of a certain plantation or lot of land . . . At the death of my son Bazzeal that said plantation be sold at public sale and the money to be equally divided between mys ons and Daughters.' Evan is specifaclly mentioned and 'my son William' appointed executor. There are numerous pages of probate for David's estate and guardianship papers for Bazal. All sons and sons-in-law shared in guardianship and are listed in these documents. Specifically, William Jay, Evan Jay, Nathan Hockett (married daughter Rachel) and James Jay (married daughter Eunice). Guardianship changed between them throughout the years and there are guardianship documents also in Henry County, Iowa for Basal.

He The documents were VERY hard to read. Apparently after arriving in Iowa

Territory, William had to again ask for guardianship over Bazel. I thought

the following might be of interest to you.

Petition of William Jay

Iowa Territory, Jefferson County, Sept. 5, 1842

To the Honorable Probate Court in and for said county. Your petitioner,

William Jay, would respectfully request to you that his brother, Bazzel Jay,

now a resident of said county is of insane mind and not capable of attending

to or managing himself for himself. That the said Bazzell Jay has property

goods chattels money and effects to the amount of which four hundred dollars.

That said Bazzell Jay has no guardian or trustee to see to his property and

that said property is liable to be squandered and lost unless there is a

guardian or trustee appointed to take care of said property and that the said

Bazzell Jay will become a county charge as the said Bazzell Jay is not

capable of providing for himself. Therefore, your petitioner would pray that

your Honor would take into consideration the case of the said Bazzell Jay and

would appoint your orator or some other person to take the charge of the said

Bazzell Jay. And also to care of the goods chattels money and effects of the

said Bazzell Jay. That the said property goods and chattels money and

effects may not be destroyed or in any way ______ or destroyed, and in

duty-bound your orator would ___ pray.

"William Jay Bond as Guardian:

Arnold, are held and firmly bound to the Board of County Commissioners of

Jefferson County Iowa Territory, in the sum of Eight hundred dollars to be

paid to the said Board of County Commissioners and their successors . . .

The condition of this Bond is such that whereas the said William Jay has

this day been appointed by the probate court of said county as guardian of

Bassel Jay a man of unsound mind . . .

William Jay

Enos Hodson

Jesse Arnold"

Page 17 of Jefferson County Probate Records (1841-1844):

"And now comes William Jay by Charles Negus his attorney and moves the

Court to appoint the said William Jay guardian for Basell Jay, a man of

insane mine - which motion was made in writing.

Ordered that said William Jay be appointed guardian for Bassill Jay . . .

Wherefore the said William Jay filed a bond in the office of said Judge

as the law requires in such case with Enos Hodson and Jesse Arnold as

sureties, said William Jay also filed in the office of the said Judge an

inventory of the estate of the said Basal Jay attested in the presence of

Enos Hodson and Allen Jay, persons of the neighborhood of the said William

Jay and Bassell Jay."

In March of 1845, William Jay is in Henry County, Iowa requesting

guardianship for Bazel. I note that Bazel is not in the William Jay

household in 1850 so perhaps Bazel died sometime between 1845-1850. I

haven't found a grave record but then I haven't found many grave records

before 1850 in Henry County. Usually no tombstones and the early records

were poor.

29. James⁶ JAY (1774) (William⁵, William⁴, John³, John², Thomas¹) was born on 25 October 1766 at Guilford Co., North Carolina. He married Jemima Mills (1775), daughter of John Mills (1608) and Elizabeth Edwards (1609), on 7 April 1791 at Bush River, Newberry Co., South Carolina. He died on 3 August 1860 at Henry Co., Iowa, at age 93. He was buried at Probably Cedar Creek Cemetery, Salem Twp, Henry County, Iowa.

A copy of the documents is retained in the South Carolina Dept. of Archives and History in Columbia, S.C. , 'Deeds C, PG 681-103, pp. 993-995.' (page 993) - William Jay by indenture made the 11th day of September, 1792, 'Between William Jay Senr of the State aforesaid and Newbery County planter of the one part and James Jay of the same place planter of the other part witnafseth that for and in consideration of the sum of two pounds lawfull money of South Carolina to him the said William Jay in hand paid . . . by the said James . . .

In 1802, moved by a desire to live in a country where no slaves were held, Friends of Bush River began a migration to Ohio. Between 1802 and 1807, more than 100 certificates of removal were issued, most of them being for families. This so depleted the membership that the monthly meeting seems to have been all but abandoned in 1808. In 1809 the few remaining members of Bush River and Cane Creek Monthly Meetings were joined to New Garden Monthly Meeting by order of New Garden Quarterly Meeting. Entry dated 6/24/1809 states: James & w. Jemimah, & ch, Mills, Alexander, Mary, Rhoda, Layton, James, Ede, Dempsey, Isaac & Sarah, of Bush River, S.C., rec in mbrp on minute from New Garden QM.

(See Deeds M, p. 342-End, Book M, , pp. 417-418, a copy of which is in the South Carolina Dept. of Archives and History in Columbia, S.C.] It reads as follows: 'So.

' The affidavit was signed by John Werts stating he 'was present and did see the within named James Jay sign seal and deliver the within deed of conveyance unto the within named Adam Werts.' Samuel Cannon certified on March 27, 1819 that 'Jemima Jay the wife of the within named James did this day appear before me and upon being privately and separately examined by me did declare that she does hereby voluntarily and without any compulsion dread or fear of any person or persons whomsoever renounce release and forever relinquish unto the within named Adam Werts his heirs and afsigns all her interest and estate and also all her right and claim of dower . . .'

There is a drawing of the property on this deed. On April 3, 1819, Bush River MM reported 'James and family get certificate to Ohio.' (Hinshaw, 'Encyclopedia of American Quaker Gen.', Vol. 1, Part II, p. 1032.) They were received in Caesars Creek M.M. in Clinton, Ohio on February 25, 1820 and on July 26, 1822, James & family got a certificate to Cherry Grove M.M. in Indiana.

Hinshaw Index, Iowa, Salem Monthly Meeting, , p. 97 reads: 'James, s. of William & Elizabeth, b. 10-25-1766, Guilford Co., N.C., w. Jemima.' Cassius Milton Jay Index indicates James Jay died in 1860. Paul Mills, author of Mills Family History, Quakers and Other Early Arrivals, indicates James Jay died August 3, 1860. I have been unable to find James Jay or Jemima Jay in any household in Henry County, Iowa in the census records for 1850, 1852, or 1860. Could he have died before 1850? The Cedar Creek Friends Church is located by Cedar Creek Cemetery where Jemima is buried. There are many buried and/or broken stones on both sides of Jemima's grave and it appears burials were in family groups.

Last Wednesday occurred the death of perhaps the oldest person in Marion Township, that of James Jay, for many years familiarly known as 'Uncle Jimmie Jay.' Gifted by nature with a constitution although not rugged yet good, he lived many yers after the proverbial three score and ten, being at least ninety, and perhaps older. Many years ago he lived in Trenton with his wife who was known to all as 'Aunt Unie,' and many who now have families grown to manhood and womanhood, can recall the pleasant evenings spent at their home, as they were ever genial and generous. Here Mrs. Jay died , surrounded onlyby friendsm, as she possessed the enmity of none. Afterwards Mr. Jay lived for years on a farm in Richwoods, but selling this moved with his daughter and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. L. Jay to what was then Washington Territory. This venture not being a success financially, he returned a few years ago, and has since resided with his daughter, Mrs. James Allender, He was buried Thursday, at Richwoods Cemetery. JAY - James Jay died at the home of his daughter, Mrs James Allender , near the Richwoods church from which he was buried, August 20th. Mr. Jay was born in South Carolina in 1795, making him ninety-six years old. He was remarkably strong and vigorous and had never been sick in bed a day in his life until the Monday before he died. In 1883 he went to Oregon, where he spent three years. He had four children, three of whom lived to grow up and two are living now. He was a member of the Friends church and was very highly respected by his neighbors and all who knew him. In the Minutes of the Cherry Grove Monthly Meeting, Randolph County, Indiana (Quaker) we find: 5-8-1824 JAY, James, Center mtg. compl for mcd 'with one near related to him.' [complained of for marriage contrary to discipline] James and Eunice were censured by the church because they were first cousins and should not have married. Other records of this family are found in the Minutes of Caesars Creek Monthly Meeting, Clinton Co., Ohio. Abstracts of all of these Quaker records were obtained from 'Encyclopedia of Quaker Genealogy,' by William Wade Hinshaw. From the Minutes of Salem Monthly Meeting, Henry Co., Iowa, we learn that the Jay family arrived in Iowa in 1842. Their son, David, died young and was not listed with the family when they came to Iowa. Descendants of James and Eunice Jay were provided by Ruth Rasch, N11 W27909 White Oak Ct., Waukesha, WI 53188.

Last Wednesday occurred the death of perhaps the oldest person in Marion Township, that of James Jay, for many years familiarly known as 'Uncle Jimmie Jay.' Gifted by nature with a constitution although not rugged yet good, he lived many yers after the proverbial three score and ten, being at least ninety, and perhaps older. Many years ago he lived in Trenton with his wife who was known to all as 'Aunt Unie,' and many who now have families grown to manhood and womanhood, can recall the pleasant evenings spent at their home, as they were ever genial and generous. Here Mrs. Jay died , surrounded onlyby friendsm, as she possessed the enmity of none. Afterwards Mr. Jay lived for years on a farm in Richwoods, but selling this moved with his daughter and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. L. Jay to what was then Washington Territory. This venture not being a success financially, he returned a few years ago, and has since resided with his daughter, Mrs. James Allender, He was buried Thursday, at Richwoods Cemetery. JAY - James Jay died at the home of his daughter, Mrs James Allender , near the Richwoods church from which he was buried, August 20th. Mr. Jay was born in South Carolina in 1795, making him ninety-six years old. He was remarkably strong and vigorous and had never been sick in bed a day in his life until the Monday before he died. In 1883 he went to Oregon, where he spent three years. He had four children, three of whom lived to grow up and two are living now. He was a member of the Friends church and was very highly respected by his neighbors and all who knew him. In the Minutes of the Cherry Grove Monthly Meeting, Randolph County, Indiana (Quaker) we find: 5-8-1824 JAY, James, Center mtg. compl for mcd 'with one near related to him.' [complained of for marriage contrary to discipline] James and Eunice were censured by the church because they were first cousins and should not have married. Other records of this family are found in the Minutes of Caesars Creek Monthly Meeting, Clinton Co., Ohio. Abstracts of all of these Quaker records were obtained from 'Encyclopedia of Quaker Genealogy,' by William Wade Hinshaw. From the Minutes of Salem Monthly Meeting, Henry Co., Iowa, we learn that the Jay family arrived in Iowa in 1842. Their son, David, died young and was not listed with the family when they came to Iowa. Descendants of James and Eunice Jay were provided by Ruth Rasch, N11 W27909 White Oak Ct., Waukesha, WI 53188.

The debt is all provided for, including what is due the church Extension Society. The building cost $1,400.00.' Jesse Jay of Belvidere is listed as a local preacher in the same conference journal. Page 7 Belvidere a Point on this circuit makes and urgent request to set apart by itself and have a minster live in place; and I believe that the interest of the church demands their request be granted. This request was granted and L.. D. Willard became the first resident clergy of the Belvidere M. E. Church from September 1891 to September 1892, at which time the district Superintendent reported the following in the journal: 'Belvidere is a work cut off from Alexandria last year. It has been supplied by L. D. Willard, a local deacon in our church. Souls have been converted, a new parsonage purchased and the work is in healthy condition.' Jesse Jay was still a local preacher, also Brother Willard received $500 salary plus house rent $72. Page 9. Rev. Jesse Jay, a local preacher in the Belvidere Church for many years, was 'called away from earth on August 8,1895.' His obituary, written by Rev. Hawkins, said that 'he was one of the most Christlike men with whom he has yet formed an acquaintance.' Rev. Jesse Jay was born of Quaker parentage and converted in a Methodist camp meeting and joined the church soon after. He filled the offices of class leader, steward, trustee and local preacher, according to his obituary. He was a useful member in and a strong supporter of the M. E. Church in every way.

Reference: 882. He MT PLEASANT NEWS, Mon., Oct. 25, 1915 p.? AGED MAN BADLY INJURED Mr. Henry Saint an aged man who lives in rooms in the Howe Apartments, opposite the sand pipe, was run down this evening at the southwest corner of the square by Mr. Ashbury Jay, who was driving a Ford touring car. Mr. Saint was seriously injured.. Mr. Jay had parked his car on the west side of the square and had just started for home. He was just making the crossing at the southwest corner heading down South Jefferson street when he noticed the old man in the middle of the street. The old gentleman saw the car and losing his head started first ahead and then back and then ahead and then back. Mr. Jay in trying to dodge the old gentleman kept heading first one way and then the other. The car struck Mr. Saint fairly and with considerable force. He was knocked down and run over. He was at once taken to his rooms and Doctors Laird and Lessenger examined him for injuries. It was found that the left arm was broken just above the wrist while three very serious gashes were found on the scalp. At the time of going to press the seriousness of the injuries cannot be judged but the indications are that the old gentleman is pretty badly hurt and possibly fatally. Mr. Saint is an old soldier and lived alone. He has a sister, Mrs. Delvin living on North Lincoln street. The accident was one of those regrettable ones in which no one can be blamed. The auto was running under regulation speed and the driver did everything possible to avoid the old gentleman, who on account of poor eyesight and hearing was unable to see where he was at or what to do.

Mt. Pleasant News, Tue., Oct. 26, 1915, p. 2. INJURIES ARE FATAL PHYSICIANS OFFER NO HOPE FOR RECOVERY OF MR. SAINT Internal Injuries-Has Not regained Consciousness May not Live Another Day The condition of Mr. Henry Saint, the aged soldier who was run over by an automobile on the southwest corner of the square Monday afternoon, is very critical. He has not regained consciousness and his physicians fear that he will hardly live another day. Aside from the fractured arm there are three very serious scalp wounds, one of which took twenty stitches to close and all three being clear to the bone. Aside from this there are evidences of serious internal injuries. No one attaches any blame to Mr. Jay, the driver of the car, as Mr. Saint was so confused in his movements that Mr. Jay could not even guess which way he would dodge next. Mt. Pleasant News, Oct. 27, 1915, p. ?
