To Rodney Jr.
Where did you find: 1750-1760 David Jay--Tioga County, PA Tioga, NY (brother of Joshua)
1764 Joshua Jay (from NJ. A descendant of Thomas Jay) (bro. Of David)
Before 1765 John Jay
If Jay's were in Tioga County this early, there is probably no need to look at the Gee's. Broome and Tioga are right on the southern border with Pennsylvania, and Tioga county Pennsylvania looks like it is right next to them. I think I need to look at Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. It would be much easier to go from Tioga Penn. to Tioga NY that from Mass, or even NY city. Could J. Hyrum Jay's first name be Joshua, named after his grandfather or great uncle? Isn't the oldest son most likely of the male children to be named after the grandfather. Peter Jay's children are J. Hyrum, Silas, David, Joseph, and John. The names David, John, and possibly Joshua all end up as names for Peter's children. I think you've made a breakthough here. I think this relationship is much more likely than anything else I have been looking at. Also that would tie us in with Thomas, and this line would go way back. Good work.
Love, Dad
