Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 573-574:
James Shay, one of the prominent men of Amherstburg, County of Essex, is descended from Irish and Scotch parentage.
      Timothy Shay, his grandfather, was born in Ireland about 1780, and was a sailor all his life. As early as 1810 he emigrated to the County of Essex, purchasing 200 acres in Colchester South, on Lake Erie, where he died about 1858, although he did not give up his seafaring life. He married a Miss McLean, who was born in the County of Essex of Scotch parentage, and who died in Colchester South, in 1880, at the unusual age of ninety-nine years. The children born to Timothy Shay and wife were as follows: John, Edward, Thomas, Timothy, Catherine (who married John Arnold, of Chatham, and both are deceased), Susan (who married Reuben Crandell), Elizabeth (widow of Fredrich Miller, of Michigan), Polly (who married James Smith), and Laura (who married James Arnold, of Chatham, and is deceased).
      John Shay, son of Timothy, was born in Colchester South, in 1812. In 1842 he married Margaret Rae, daughter of James Rae, of Scotch extraction, and a prominent farmer and merchant of Colchester South. In politics John Shay was a Liberal and in religious faith both he and his wife where Baptists. His death occurred March 17, 1874, while his wife died in 1885. Their children were: Eliza Jane, who married Abram Boyle; Adelaide, who married Charles Bell, of Oxley; James; Roland, a farmer of Welland; Judson, who married Minnie Sinesack, of Colchester South; and Annie, wife of George Gauthier.
      James Shay was born on the old homestead in Colchester South July 4, 1848, and there grew to manhood. He followed farming in Colchester, and became owner of the old homestead of 200 acres. In 1890 Mr. Shay sold his fine farm, and settled in Amherstburg, where he is now enjoying the fruits of his many years of unremitting labor. On June 5, 1876, he married Miss Lydia Bell, and their one son, Allen, born in 1877, is one of the most thoroughly accomplished musicians in Western Ontario, having studied music in Detroit, where for some time he was connected with the leading musical schools, and has since been musical director of leading opera troops in the United States. Mr. Shay is a consistent member of the Church of England, as was also his wife. Politically he is a Liberal, although he has never taken an active part in public affairs. Fraternally he belongs to the A.O.U.W. and the K. of P. Mrs. Shay died Dec. 8, 1902 and was buried in Amherstburg.
