Gerald, Below is the information I received from my Mom about our Golden and Lay side of the family. I saw that you mentioned a Jesse Lay and Hannah Lay Baird Lay had a son named Elijah who had Jesse who then had Eliza. I was wondering if you had any dates on those Lays that I do not have information on? Also, if you see anything incorrect or different from what you have, please let me know. Is your great grandmother the same one I have that is the daughter of Spencer Lay and Lucy Perkins?
