From http://www.ancestrees.com/pedigree/3091.htm

John Jay, sometimes mentioned to have died young, is listed in the will of John Gallop, his grandfather, in 1649. He witnessed a deed in 1661 in Hingham, MA. His name in a photstat copy was spelled Jvey or Juey or Ivey, a variation of Joy. His brother's descendants carried the name Joy. John is mentioned on Sept. 30, 1672 in the Boston Record of Boston Commissioners, Vol. IX, p. 123. John was discharged from Capt. Wm. Turner's Co. of Marlboro in King Philip's War. This war took place between 1675-1676. This was a Baptist Company of followers of Turner. He possibly died in a later engagement in that war. (C-172,813, F-579)
