from Bay Family Ancestry
G.T.T - Gone To Texas
The Thomas Bay family immigrated to Texas from Tennessee in 1850. They settled in the
Bay's Chapel area of Montgomery County, which was then only a thicket. The family at
that time consisted of Thomas and his wife Mary (Eddins) Bay, their three married children,
Andrew Foster, William Harrison, and Jane Williamson, their five unmarried children,
Rebecca, James, Joseph, Sarah, and Thomas, and their son-in-law, George Duckworth.
Duckworth, the widower of Cynthia Bay Duckworth, returned to Tennessee, not long
thereafter leaving his three children with their mother's family.

(The following account of Thomas Bay's children is testimony taken from Hattie Bay Hoke,
granddaughter of William Harrison Bay, recorded in 1965 by Cary O'Lee Brazil):
William Harrison "Hack" Bay: He was the oldest of the children of Thomas and Mary
Bay. He had six children at the time that he immigrated from Tennessee. He said they
would go for just a short distance and they would have to look out for loose rocks to put
under the wagon wheels while they were crossing the hills of Arkansas. The trip took
about three months, and they made their first Texas crop in 1850. Hack was a very
virtuous man; he was a foster father to the Duckworth children, and he took over his
father's work in the church. Neither of the Duckworth boys married. Margaret Duckworth
married a Mr. Roberts. Hack was married to Cynthia Pryor Jones. She was unlike her
husband in many respects. While Hack was very strong (he was unexcelled at hewing
logs), she was weak and gentle. While he was strict and uncompromising, she was sweet
and lenient.
