John Hay married Margaret Hutton. Their son was Capt. James Hay. This family has many descendants in the Greenwich, NY area.
Here is a passage from the History of Washington County (1878) referencing John Hay regarding the Reformed Church in Union Village (Greenwich):
In 1827 (Dec. 28), Moses Cowan and John Hay withdrew from the church services, their consciences being offended by the introduction of instrumental music at the public worship on the Sabbath, a bass viol having been brought in to assist the choir. Consistory sent a committee to talk with them, and referred the question to classis for their opinion. But all to no purpose. The offended parties would not be reconciled. The instrument was banished, but as late as 1829 we find consistory sending a committee to these men. Again, in 1830, resolutions were passed in consistory, regretting the occasion of offense, and sending another commissioner. At this time Mr. Cowan returned to attendance upon the services of the church. But John Hay never forgot nor forgave the bass viol, and remained away unreconciled. Though John was deaf, he was not blind.
