The eastern seaboard states from Virginia to southern New England contain several sites where members of the Jay family lived, worked, or engaged key correspondents and significant events. These include, from south to north, Fortress Monroe, Virginia; Washington, D.C.; Philadelphia; Coatesville, Pennsylvania; New York City, Albany; and Boston.

The principal sites of the Jays’ activities in their long-standing home county of Westchester are depicted here. In the inset, moving south to north, are New Rochelle, Rye, White Plains, Mt. Kisco, and Bedford, north of which lies the Jay family’s homestead. Other key sites in New York State are marked. Arrayed up the Hudson River are New York City, Fishkill, Poughkeepsie, Kingston, and Albany, and on the westward Erie Canal route are Utica, Peterboro, Auburn, and Rochester.
