Captain J. W. Delay, Cashier of Vinton County National Bank, is a son of Ambrose Delay and a grandson of Rev. Jacob Delay. The latter was born in Greenbrier County, Va., July 18, 1780, and died in Jackson County, Ohio, Oct. 13, 1845. His wife was Mary Crouch who survived him until Dec. 24, 1854, when she died at Berlin Cross-roads, Jackson Co., Ohio. Jacob Delay was extensively known throughout Southern Ohio as one of the pioneer Methodist ministers, and was remarkable for his great decision of character as well as his forcible and positive manner of preaching the gospel. Although he was a native of Virginia he was of English extraction and became an early settler in Jackson County, Ohio. He was the father of eleven sons and one daughter, five sons still living. Ambrose was the seventh, and was born in Pickaway County, Ohio, in 1810, and died in Jackson County, Ohio (Berlin Cross-roads), April 1, 1864. His wife, Rebecca S. Whitman, was born in Greenbrier County, Va., in 1811, but died in Union County, Iowa, June, 1881. Their family consisted of six sons and four daughters, three sons and one daughter still living. J. W. Delay is the oldest and was born in Jackson County, Ohio, Jan. 10, 1839. As his father was a farmer J. W. devoted his summers to the farm and his winters in school. At the age of seventeen years he entered the Ohio University, where he spent two years, at which time he was tendered a clerkship in a store and accepted, but two years later engaged at the Latrobe Furnace as bookkeeper. In this capacity he served until July 1861, when he enlisted in the United States army, and Aug. 10 was enrolled in Company K, Thirty-sixth Ohio Infantry, mustered and appointed First Sergeant. June 6, 1862, he was promoted to Second Lieutenant, and Jan. 16, 1863, to First Lieutenant. About this time he was placed on detached service on staff duty in the subsistence department, in which capacity he served during the war, having been commissioned Oct. 24, 1864, by the President of the United States as Captain of United States volunteers, and brevetted Major July 10, 1865, just four years from date of enlistment. He participated in the battles of Lewisburg, Va., within five miles of the settlement of his grandparents on both sides; the second battle of Bull Run, Va., and South Mountain, in 1862. During the following winter his regiment was in General Rosecran's campaign from Murfreesboro, participating in the battles of Chickamauga, Mission Ridge and many incidental fights of that campaign. In the winter of 1863-64 returned east and participated in the campaign of General Crooks and Hunter in West Virginia; subsequently in all battles of the Shenandoah Valley under General Phil. Sheridan, serving until the war was ended. Upon his return home in July, 1865, he entered the firm of H. F. Austin & Co. at Buckeye Furnace, Jackson Co., Ohio, and engaged in the manufacture of pig-iron, where he remained until October, 1866, when together with Mr. Austin and others, he came to McArthur and organized the Vinton County Bank, but did not move his family until January, 1867. When the above bank was organized he was elected Cashier, and continued, by re-elections to hold the same position until the consolidation with the other bank in McArthur in 1872, forming the Vinton County National Bank, of which he was chosen Cashier. During the late war, April 11, 1864, he was married to Miss Samilda J. Buck. They have four sons and three daughters, all living.
