In my previous message I had stated:"It appears that John and his two brothers, William and James appeared in what was then Caswell County ca. 1756 in company of William Jay." This should have said , (in what was then Orange County ca. 1756.)

Sorry that my mind and fingers don't always communicate the same information at times! ;-)

>Hello all,
>There is a possibility that there is a record in the early claims for land in Orange County; I have not checked that out to see if such exists.  Below is some data from my lineage on my Satterfield family which may be of help with the Jay family.  I hope this is informative for those who are interested in the Orange/Caswell Jays.

>>>John (I) Satterfield may have had the middle name of Isaac, but that is not proven by any document.  He signed his will and other documents with the mark (I). The mark actually appears as a vertical mark with a cross line near the top, and two marks at the bottom which resemble the feathers on an Indian arrow.  This turns out to be an archaic "J". It appears that John and his two brothers, William and James appeared in what was then Caswell County ca. 1756 in company of William Jay.  It is not clear what the relationship was with William Jay, but we do know as a certainty that John Satterfield was married to Sarah Jay.
