John Jay came to Monroe Township in 1803, accomplanied by his family of seven sons and three daughters, only one of the sons being married at that time, but the rest took to themselves wives, and the family in a short time became so numerous that they formed quite a settlement by themselves, and were known as the "Jay Set." Upon their arrival here they entered portions of Section 25, 36, and 31, which they soon cleared and brought under a high degree of cultivation. Walter D. Jay was the first man who refused to countenance the use of ardent spirits in the harvest field. He was a man noted for his integrity, a stanch Abolitionist, and, as far as was in his power to be, a partron of education. Cemetery: Mill Creek Friends Cemetery
