BAY FAMILY, Part 1



The format used here is a descendancy chart but not like those usually
used in genealogy programs.  Every item found on a family group sheet is included here.  I use the Henry Numbering System as I feel it better 
shows what I want than does the Modified Register System.  The 
following information on Samuel's descendants came from William Bay of
Rolla, MO.  Others have contributed data on their families.

The information starting with 1791 is from my original research and I 
have several binders of documentation to support it.  I have not 
entered all this in a computer file as it would take me too long to do
it.  I have furnished it to the persons who are doing the early Bay 
research and it will go into the Bay Genealogy when it is published.  
I have not researched those that are not my direct line have no 
referemces for them.

It appears that Hugh BAY came to KY in 1790 from Westmoreland Co., PA.
He was in the 1791 to Aug 1800 tax books of Bourbon Co., KY.  
According to a witness statement given by his son Robert BAY, before 
the Boards of Land Commissioners settling land claims from the Spanish,
they came in 1801 to Spanish Louisiana, to the District of San Andre 
(later St. Louis Co., MO).  Hugh bought a grant from Charles KYLE on 4
Mar 1802.  Hugh died before 22 Feb 1803.  His wife Margaret stated in 
her will of this date that her husband was dead.  Before 10 May 1803 
Margaret died.  On 10 May Robert, as oldest brother present in the 
Dist., was appointed by the French Commandant to settle the estate of 
his parents on 24 May 1803.  Robert and his brother Samuel received 
several grants from the Spanish in 1803 which were all declared to be 
valid grants by the Boards of Land Commissioners appointed by the U. S.
Government to settle all of the Spanish land claims.  Their brother 
Joseph seems to have been to young to receive any grants.  He returned
to Bourbon Co., KY, after his parents died.  Four of the children never
came to Spanish Louisiana.  I have little information on them. 

Robert married Mary (daughter of Ninian Beall HAMILTON between 2 April
1802, when her father, in a letter back home to North Carolina, said 
that his daughter Mary was still at home, and 24 May 1803, when Robert
BAY and his wife Mary purchased the real property of his father at the
estate sale.  These estate records also say that their were seven heirs
of Hugh. Those named were Robert, Samuel, Joseph and Margaret (who was
still in KY as stated in her mother's will).  Three others, not named,
never came to Sp. LA.  
Hugh's and Margaret's children were:
1 Hester BAY b.c. 1770, d. bef. 1850 Clay Twp., Decatur Co., IL, m.  
  Benjamin JONES
2 Mary BAY b.c. 1775, d.aft. 1830, m. 11 Dec 1800 Bourbon Co., KY,  
  James SMITH.  James Smith sent a letter in Sept. 1803 to the court  
  in the Dist. of San Andre that he relinquished all claim to any  
  portion of the estate of Hugh Bay.  The letter was carried by James  
  Wade, his brother-in-law.
