Jason,

This is in follow up to your post of April. It comes from Amador County
History published by the Federation of Amador County Women's Clubs in April
of 1927:

"Walace Kay came to Jackson in 1855. He was the pioneer photographer of
Amador County. Many of his daguerroeotypes are now treasured as heirlooms.
His brother, William, was also a Jackson resident, and both were thorough
musicians, William playing the violin and Wallace, the cornet. In 1850 he
married Miss Electra Jane Harding, of Ohio, a daughter of Amos Harding, and
cousin of our late president, Warren G. Harding. Seven children were born of
whom five are living, all married to descendants of pioneers. Emma married
Walter Jansen of Lincoln; Eva, Herman Tripp, Alaska; Henry Edwin, Miss Rose
Sanguinetti; Inga, Herbert Bright, and Roberta, Thomas Hedgpeth. The
Hedgpeths have two sons, Donald and Jack. The former is studying pharmacy.
Joseph Kay and Phoebe Kay Hall, children of William, live in the old
homestead on North Main Street."
