From Lewis & Clark on the Mississippi River:
Lewis was accompanied by prominent Cahokians Nicholas Jarrot and John Hay* who acted as interpreters... . *John Hay was the son of Jehu Hay of Detroit
Jehu Hay ( -1785), was the second and last Lieutenant-Governor of Detroit. A native of Chester, Pennsylvania, who in 1758 enlisted in the Royal American Regiment, he served at Detroit as a lieutenant in 1762-3, and later was appointed commissary in the Indian Department. In 1776 he became Deputy Indian Agent and Major of Detroit militia.
He was on Hamilton's fateful expedition to Vincennes in 1778. He accompanied his chief to Virginia as a prisoner of war, and was exchanged in 1781. The following year he was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Detroit, but did not assume office until the summer of 1784. He died at Detroit on August 2, 1785. [Source]
