Notes
On 07 Jan 2021 Adam Matthews posted This person is attributed as a daughter of John Hay in error. The Dolly Hay m. to Wm Browne in 1784 was actually the widow of a John Hay (d. 1782 Richmond, Va) and a daughter of Josiah Jordan of Nansemond Co., Va. This is confirmed by the wills of John Hay (probated 1782 in Henrico Co.), William Browne (probated 1786 in Surry County), and Dolly's (she married 3rdly Benjamin Parker in 1789, her will of 1790 probated in Surry County).
