On 13 Sep 1835, he was married to Hannah Day, a native of New York State. Born 12 Oct 1818, the daughter of Samuel and Hannah Robbins Day, natives of Vermont and Massachusetts, respectively. In 1836, they moved to Fulton County, Illinois, where his family lived for thirty years. In 1866, they moved to Barton County, Missouri. John Jay was the first treasurer of the Lamar School Board. He was a prosperous farmer and a much respected citizen. He and his wife were members of the Free Will Baptist Church.
