Person:John Hay (63)

We don't know when John was born or died, nor Jane's maiden name, or anything else about them.

We do know:

1. Widow Jane and Hay Orphans are on the 1821 Georgia Land Lottery.

2. A guardian was appointed to the sisters, Mary and Sarah, that continued till after the sisters were married, the guardians were in effect until as late as 1834. Sarah m. 1825 and Mary m. 1827. the first guardian was Andrew Brown, then from abt 1826 Eligah Boyington. The guardianship papers repeatedly state John Hay is deceased.

3. Land sale documents state the sisters are the orphans of John Hay, deceased.

The numerous trees at Ancestry that have John dying as late as 1841 are TOTALLY WRONG!!! A John Hay may very well have died in 1841, but not THIS John Hay, the husband of Jane and father of Mary and Sarah who married Jester brothers.
