James was born in 1821, the sixth child of an eventual ten. He was the son of Robert Hay and Maria Hopper.
James was a farmer.
At the age of 20, James married Mary Triffitt, a girl in her late teens with a daughter. They settled in New Norfolk, where they had both grown up.
James and Mary had eight children, but three of their children died as babies.
One daughter, Emma, died in 1862 at the age of eighteen of consumption [1]. Another daughter, Rebecca, died in 1870 at the age of 25, of phthisis (a consumptive illness).
It seems as though the family battled with tuberculosis throughout their lives.
James passed away in 1875 in New Norfolk of phthisis. He was a labourer and the death was reported by his niece, Jane Bradshaw. [2]
