About Maria Banyer

https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=124168351
"On 22 April 1801, their son Goldsborough Banyer Jr. married Maria Jay (1782-1856), daughter of John Jay (1745-1829), first Chief Justice of the United States, and his wife Sarah Van Brugh Livingston Jay. At the time of the wedding Jay was finishing his term as Governor of the State of New York. Having inherited a substantial portion his grandmother's estate, Banyer Jr. had little need to actively earn a living. Instead he managed his father's real estate holdings and served on local boards in Albany. When Goldsborough died in 1806 at the age of 31, his widow remained in Albany and tended to her elderly father-in-law, Goldsborough Sr."
