"In August 2017, I located a living Hay descendant; a lawyer, by the name of Kerry Hay. He had a genealogy chart he had done while in high school that he shared with me. He clearly spelled the name "Clete". I include both spellings since the first is how it is spelled in the EJ Sutherland book, "Some Descendants of John Counts of Glade Hollow" and also on his death certificate."Clete was the half-brother of my grandfather, Arthur Stewart Counts of Nealy Ridge. He and Clete shared the same mother but different fathers. While looking through photos from my father's collection I came across one with several people I did not recognize; Clete/Cleat and his wife, Pricey Catherine Counts, were two of them. It was only after showing the photo to my newfound cousin, Evonne/Yvonne Counts Artrip (the daughter of Arthur's daughter, Edra Bernice Counts) that they were immediately recognized by her. Now, all those in the photo have been identified thanks to Chad Counts and Evonne/Yvonne Counts Artrip.
"FROM RICHARD HAY:
He married Pricey Catherine Counts on 20 Jun 1912 in Dickenson County, VA.
Pricey was the daughter of Martga Catherine Compton & Noah Kernan Counts.
