posed of companies from York county, Pennsylvania. After the war of 1812-14 he became interested in the hotel business in York, and was entrusted with the settlement of many estates. He died March 26, 1832. Colonel George Hay married first Seaba Fahnestock, who was born June 18, 1775, and died October 19, 1800. To them was born one child, Michael. (See Spangler's Historical Sketches, p. 471-486.)

(IV) Dr. Michael Hay, son of Colonel George Hay and Seaba (Fahnestock) Hay, was born March 21, 1795. His earlier life was spent in York. In 1816-17, he was paymaster in the 94th Regiment, Fifth Division, Pennsylvania Militia. He read medicine with Dr. Thomas Jameson, of York, for three years, receiving from him his certificate, and in 1820-21 attended the University of Pennsylvania. He also attended the practice of physicians and surgeons in the Philadelphia Alms-house and Hospital (now known as Blockly), and January 22, 1822, received from it his diploma, which is still in the possession of the family. Returning to York the same year, he commenced the practice of his profession. On May 11, 1823, he was married to Margaret Worley, of York, Pennsylvania, and in November, 1836, located in Johnstown, where he resided until his death. He made his first purchase of land in Conemaugh township, Cambria county, of three hundred and twenty-three acres on November 9, 1829, subsequent purchases being made in Johnstown property in 1845 and 1852.

Dr. Michael Hay was recognized as one of the foremost of his profession, and successfully practiced medicine and surgery for a period of forty years. He was a man of marked public spirit, and during his long residence in Johnstown was actively engaged and concerned with every movement for the advancement of the moral and material interests of the city. He was a leading member and official in the English Lutheran church. He died March 21, 1861. At the time of his death a local journal referred to him as follows: "Dr. Michael Hay was universally respected for his honesty, sound judgment, and dignified but unpretending manners. All men hailed him as their friend, and all knew that he was a Christian. He was public spirited and took great interest in politics. His love for the Union almost amounted to a passion, and no man could feel prouder of his birthright, of being a free-born citizen. His feeling of nationality was intense. He would not sacrifice principle for the expediency of the hour, and when the American party united with the Republican party he refused to unite with it. As a physician he was eminently successful, and held a deservedly high rank in his profession. He exhibited much charity, often acting the good Samaritan when hope of fee or reward was not to be thought of. In his death the poor lost a friend. His domestic qualities were largely developed; he loved his home and delighted to make happy all who dwelt within its hallowed precincts."

To Dr. Michael Hay and his wife Margaret (Worley) Hay were born the following children; 1. Frank Worley, born September 13, 1824, died October 8, 1894; married July 11, 1848, to Eliza Ann Jack, born November 30, 1823, died September 14, 1901, whose children are Harry M., Ida Margaret and Frank Roberts. 2. Eliza, born August 5, 1826, died March 19, 1898, married October 26, 1853, to Captain John H. Reed, born December 16, 1816, died October 22, 1906. 3. Ann Amelia, unmarried, born January 6, 1828. 4. Charlotte Josepha, born August 8. 1830, died April 24, 1898, married October 18, 1860, to Rev. Henry Welty Kuhns D. D., deceased, the pioneer missionary of the Evangelical Lutheran church in Nebraska and the Northwest; their children are

Luther M., Paul W., and John Hay. 5. George Michael, unmarried, born March 23, 1833, died February 13, 1902. 6. Margaret, born February 27, 1836, died August 11, 1838. 7. Sarah Margaret, born March 4, 1839, married October 2, 1867, to Rev. Charles G. Fisher of Philadelphia, manager and publisher of the Reformed Publication Board and Reformed Messenger, respectively, died February 26, 1896; their children are Margaret Hay, Samuel Karl, Samuel Reed, Eleanor May and Charles Worley. 8. John Barnitz, whose sketch appears below.

Margaret (Worley) Hay, wife of Dr. Michael Hay, was born November 30, 1798; died June 6, 1870. Her ancestral line appears hereinafter.

(V) John Barnitz Hay, son of Dr. Michael Hay and Margaret (Worley) Hay, was born March 25, 1842, in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. He was educated at the Gymnasium, a private institution later known as the Johnstown Academy. In 1856 he became a clerk in the store of his brother, Frank W. Hay, subsequently accepting a position in the store of Wood, Morrell & Co., and later was promoted to cashier in 1861. When the Civil war opened, impelled by patriotism, and with the ardor which characterized him, he determined to offer his services to his country. He was one of the original members of the Johnstown Zouave Cadets, and drilled with them weekly until they were called into service, a few days after the firing upon Fort Sumter. Personal friends in the company prevailed upon him to remain at home with his mother and sisters, who were grievously distressed on account of the recent death of the husband and father. This he reluctantly did.

In 1862, when Lincoln called for "Three Hundred Thousand More,' his patriotism asserted itself. It is shown by the official records that John B. Hay was enrolled July 31, 1862, at Johnstown, and was mustered into service August 5, 1862, as sergeant in Company A, One Hundred and Thirty-third regiment Pennsylvania Infantry Volunteers, to serve nine months. On the 20th this regiment was despatched to Virginia, where it became a part of Humphrey's Division, Fifth Army Corps, Army of the Potomac. August 21, 1862, Sergeant Hay was promoted to second lieutenant. On the 30th, the division marched toward Bull Run, but being too late for battle was halted at Fort Ward, where it constructed earthworks and performed picket duty until September 12, when it was ordered to Washington, D. C., where its obsolete arms were exchanged for Springfield rifles, heavy camp equipage was turned in, and shelter tents received. September 14, the command marched to meet the enemy in Maryland, but was held in reserve in General Porter's Fifth Army Corps at the battle of Antietam, and took part in the pursuit of the enemy to Warrenton and Fredricksburg. December 13, 1862, at the battle of Fredricksburg, when a part of Humprey's Division charged with unloaded guns against the impregnable position on Marye's Heights, Lieutenant Hay as commander of his company participated in that disastrous charge. When within fifty yards of the stone wall, where men were mowed down with fearful carnage, the charging columns were shattered and Lieutenant Hay was disabled by a bursting shell. He was carried off the field by his men as dead, but revived and was taken to a hospital in Washington, D. C., where his brother Frank attended him. His injuries, however, would not permit of his return to duty, and on May 24, 1863, he was mustered out with his company.

During his convalescence from the effects of the wound received at Fredricksburg he experienced one of those thrilling and dangerous
