Biography

Early life

Robert William Hay was born in 1786 in Westminster, London, England.[1] His father was Reverend George William Auriol Hay-Drummond and his mother Elizabeth Margaret (Marshall) Hay-Drummond.[1] His paternal grandfather was Robert Hay Drummond (1711–1776), who served as the Archbishop of York from 1761 to 1776.[1]

He graduated from Christ Church, Oxford, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1807 and a Master of Arts degree in 1809.[1]

Career

From 1812 to 1824, he served as Private Secretary to Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville (1742-1811), who was First Lord of the Admiralty, and then served as Victualling Commissioner in the British Royal Navy.[1]

He served as the Permanent Under-Secretaries of State for the Colonies from 1825 to 1836.[1][2][3] However, James Stephen (1789-1859) is credited with doing much of the work.[1]

He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1814.[4]

He died on May 9, 1861 in Malta.[1]
