J.S. Hay

J.S. Hay was Col. Robert McCulloch's ordinance officer. After the major fighting at Fort Pillow was done, Hay and Second Missouri Cavalry (C.S.) surgeon, F.R.Durrett, found Hardy Revelle, a dry-goods merchant, and confisgated certain of his wares.

The fact that Revelle could subsequently remember Durrett and Hay's names saved him from being shot for pilfering.

Literary Comment
J.S. Hay's recorded role in history appears limited to his time with the Second Missouri Cavalry.
