About William Jay
William Jay was extremely close to his sister Sarah Louisa, as they were born within years of each other. When their mother died in 1802, their older sister Maria assumed their care and education in Albany.
William graduated from Yale in 1807. When he was stricken with problems with his eyesight, he abandoned his law studies and assumed the role of farmer and manager of the family homestead.
He married Augusta McVicker in 1812. Together they had eight children, all but two surviving to adulthood.
William died in 1858.
