Welcome home, Family.
We are the descendants of three sisters born in Edgefield County, SC between 1861 and 1872 Savannah Jay (Daniel), Alice Jay (Allen), and Regina Jay (Holt). Their parents were Wesley Mack Jay and Bridget Graham.
Today, our extended family includes over 600 individuals spanning eight generations. We are located all over the country with generations of educators, entrepreneurs, healthcare professionals, lawyers, skilled trade and union workers, civil servants, and retired folks. We are faith leaders, community activists, sorors and frat brothers, Tiktokers, and social media influencers! We are we-support-everything-Black as well as the sweet tea and don't try me folks! You are one of us and we are glad to see you here, Cuz.
This website is our virtual homeplace. It is here where we'll connect before the next reunion and stay connected afterward. To get started, please create a profile and then take a few moments to read the early Family History. You are also encouraged to post a few family photos, add a memorial tribute, and share your favorite reunion memory. You can also connect with us on social media by joining our Facebook group and following us on Instagram - connect with us in as many ways as you want!
