JAY, Deborah ^{1 2}

  General 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., son of James Adams McCOOL and Anne WRIGHT, about 1768. (James McCOOL Jr. was born on Dec 12, 1747 and died in 1804 in , Frederick, VA, USA.)
