United States--History--Revolution, 1775-1783; Jay, John, 1745-1829
Summary
A manuscript in the Bibliotheque National, Paris, entitled "Histoire
Genealogique de l'Ancienne Maison de le Jay" contains a description of the La Rochelle
Jays' coat of arms. Cites the historian, Bolton, as referring to a work on heraldry in
which the arms of Le Jay de Poiton are identical with those borne by his own family.
Hopes to see a photograph of the portrait of "the lady of Montonneau" and to know the
price the owner is asking.
