Bio written by Ann Grubb

Compiler (Ann Grubb)  has received conflicting data from members of the Lay family concerning the grandfather of "Jack"
Lay. In 1990, compiler established correspondence with "Bill" Heinle, a descendent of Elijah Lay, son of "Jack" and Mary Pauline (O'Dell) Lay. Per family group sheets, etc. provided by Mr.
Heinle, John David "Big Valley Dave" Lay, the father of "Jack", was the son of David Lay, died 1815 in Caswell Co.,NC.
John David, "Big Valley Dave", was reported to have married "Mary Lay",a daughter of John Lay and his wife, Martha (maiden name unknown), in Wilkes County, NCar on 26 March 1794.
In 1996, contact was made with Eva McCarty, a descendent of Elisha Lay,twin brother to Heinle's ancestor, Elijah. Mrs. McCarty, quoting a third descendent of this family, Mary Alice Ernhart, grand daughter of William Quillen Lay, older brother of the twins, relates the following:
"...The Lays -- Three original Lay brothers John, Jessee, David -- came from England arrived in the Land of Charles in Southern Carolinas. There John David Lay, son of Jesse and father of ..."Jack"...was born. John, Jessee and David moved into VA near Gate City & farmed the John Lay Homestead. From Gate City Jesse & two sons Jesse Jr. & John David moved down to Elizabethton, TN. From there they moved down to Claiborne, Co., TN (later where they lived became Campbell Co., TN.)...I descend from Jesse, no mention of a wife coming to TN. The
farm was located on both sides of the Powell River in what is now Campbell Co. If I remember correctly it was about 6 miles from LaFollette, TN...Jesse was old when he came to this area & was the first person buried in the Old Lay Cemetery. John David Lay known as "Big Valley Dave" and wife, Mary Moore Lay were buried in the Old Lay Cemetery and re-interred to Baker's Forge. John David lived to be 108 years old and Mary 96...John David and Mary Moore Lay were
married in VA 1801 --Mary was born 1777 VA...
Records show Jesse Lay Sr. in 1790 had 2 sons and (8?) daughters, self and wife but no records on him 1820 on out. Aug. 16, 1799 Jesse Lay Sr. and 1801 Mar. 20 Jesse Lay Sr. Deed for 310 acres in Big Valley TN. Deed date Feb. 7, 1801. 1802 Claiborne Co. TN. Jesse Lay Sr, Jesse Lay Jr. & John David were appointed overseers, to open & and keep open the Big Valley Rd. 1782 they were in VA - 1790 in Wilkes Co., N. Car 1796 in Elizabethton, TN. It is said old Jesse Sr was an old man
when he came to Claiborne Co. TN & died not too many years after coming to Big Valley. Jesse Jr. & John David took over the farm...  Jesse Sr. had 10 children, but I have only the following:..."
(lists six of the children) "Some of these daughters went to KY..."
