Alexander Hay (South Australian politician)
Alexander Hay (12 January 1820 – 4 February 1898) was a South Australian merchant, pastoralist and politician.〔Andrew Gosse Hay, ('Hay, Alexander (1820–1898)' ), ''Australian Dictionary of Biography'', Volume 1, Melbourne University Press, 1966, p. 525.〕
==Early career==
Born in Dunfermline, Scotland, as a young man he gained free passage to South Australia when working as a "wharfer", arriving in May 1839. After working for only two years for the ''South Australia Company'', he could afford to purchase his own land to farm at Gumeracha. He soon acquired or invested in extensive pastoral land holdings throughout south-eastern Australia. He opened a grocery and hardware store on Rundle Street in the Adelaide city centre, specialising in supplying tools and equipment to the new copper mines and the booming building industry. He also became a proprietor of the newspaper the ''South Australian Register'', a director of two insurance companies, two banks, a gas company and a wharf company. He served as vice-president of the Adelaide Zoo, president of the YMCA, an Adelaide City Councillor. He founded the Caledonian Society of South Australia, and was its Chief 1881–1883. He was married to Agnes Kelly in Adelaide in 1845, with whom he had eight children (only four survived to adulthood, a son and three daughters).〔〔http://www.southaustralianhistory.com.au/alexanderhay.htm〕
