A son of Patrick John and Susan Jane Quealy, Jay's father was born at Kiltrellig, County Clare, Ireland and came to America with his father and older brothers when he was nine. Patrick Quealy became a miner, rancher, banker and Democratic national committeeman in his adopted homeland. Upon Patrick's death, Jay's mother Susan stepped in to run the family's 20,000 acre ranch and varied business interests--which she did capably for nearly three decades before she, too, passed away.
Jay family protested when he announced his intent to marry Jacketta 'Lottie' Greene. The divorced mother of four children, she was older than her betrothed and came from staunch and active Mormon stock on both sides of her family. Ignoring their objections, Jay and Jacketta married in the town his father had co-founded, Kemmerer, Wyoming, on 13 May 1914.
Theirs was an enduring match, and to them were born two children of their own. Lottie's daughter Jack--just six when her mother remarried--adopted her step-father's surname of Quealy and used it all her life as her maiden name rather than that of her biological father.
