My grandmother, Stella, passed away on March 6, 2000 and was layed to rest in Memorial Park in New Boston, MI. Right now I am searching for the names of Daniel Fay's parents. <snip-address> I just got off the phone with my mother. She just moved back to Belleville after living in Texas for 8 years. <snip>......(grandfather)remembers things from his youth. I found out that many of my Fay anscestors are buried in a cemetary across from St. Albert's church in Higgin's lake. There used to be a Fay's Grocery...Fay's Gas Station, Fay's Bait and Tackle, Fay's Corner Store....and many more "Fay business's in Higgins Lake. I can remember when I was a small child, going to the lake on vacation and driving past the Fay's Grocery store that had been closed down many years before and looked like one of those ghost town type stores. The sign was barely legible. I wonder if it's still there? I went to a Fay family reunion in Roscommon, MI. 8 years ago. It was at Bob & Rita Fay's home. They took us to a tiny cememtary in the woods that only had a handful of graves and was VERY old. It was a family plot with wrought iron fence sourrounding it. I am going to contact them this week to find out if it was a Fay plot or just a plot that was there when they bought the place. (or if the land was handed down to them) My granfather told my mom that Fred Brown and Daniel Fay owned 60-100 acres in Monroe Co. and farmed it together. We have learned that the Fay and Brown family's were very close. He said that we still have a few Fays in Monroe Co..<snip> Tina Anderson ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

Enterprise Roman and the Legal Times Wed. Sept. 2, 1964. Fay, George Frances 76, 35 Clarence St. Belleville, died at the Belvil Hospital Aug 28, 1964. He was born in Monroe Co. on January 20, 1887. He is survived by two sons, Ralph of Ecorse and Frances L. of Belleville, three daughters, Mrs. Marie Hopkins of Romulus, Mrs. Viola Dyer and Eileen Simkins of Belleville. One brother, Genner Fay of Higgins Lake and 2 sisters, Mrs. Faith D'Annunzio of Florida, and Mrs. Pearl Louys of Mancelona also survive. Services were held at Robert Bros [now called Pawlus--2000] Funeral Home and St. Anthony's Catholic Church Sept 1. Mr. Fays grave is in Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Flat Rock. [note: seems the other Fays that I have obits for were Lutheran but George's wife was Catholic so this may account for the change in religion]

I went to the Tyler Road Cementery in Belleville, MI today. I found the markers for the Fay family. John M. Fay b. March 7, 1847 d. March 7, 1906 Lucy wife of John M. Fay b. July 27, 1847 d. Dec. 27, 1892 Kitty daughter of JM and LS Fay b. Nov. 26, 1871 d. Sept. 21, 1881 There was no newspaper archives in the library for 1906. So I have found nothing more on John at this time. Still looking. Linda

Today I went to the Monroe Co. Archives (Unfortunately this, the only Wednesday that I can get off from work, the Genealogy Societies Archives were closed--and this is the only day of the week they are open.) But I did do well at the Monroe Co. Archives. The following Fays are buried in Carleton, MI. at the Carleton Cemetery. Anna F., Charlotte, Francis, Leo F., Olin J., William Edward. Wilmer Fay is Buried at the Carleton Mausoleum in Ash Twp. I also have obits for Austin Fay,b. 1859; Charles F. Fay b. abt 1858; Anna (Harryman) Fay (wife of Edward) b. abt 1853; Old Man Fay (father of Austin and Francis); Daniel Fay b. 1865; Austin Fay b. ; Charlotte Fay (wife of Francis Fay) b. 1839; Perry C. Fay b. 1879; Dr. O. F. Fay d. 1923; Mrs. Florence Fay b. abt.1891(wife of Jenner Fay); Jenner Fay b. 1891; Leo F. Fay (son of Edward and Anna Harryman Fay)--part of this obit is missing. d. 1945; Sister M Basilla (nee Margaret Fay); Mary Butler Fay b. 1871 (wife of Wilmer Fay); and Francis Fay B. 1828. Several of these have already been posted by Bob Fay. These 2 obits are a mystery to be sure or maybe just need more research: William Fay b. 1863 d.1908--it looks like this may be an incorrect date but not sure. Also there is a very vague obit on Edward Fay, d. 1908. Maybe William and Edward are the same person?? This is confusing because someone wrote on the William Fay obit card says "cem. b. 1857 cem. d. 1906), but they also hand wrote Edward after William as a middle name, as you can see these are totally different dates. The only thing that I could find at the Belleville Historical Society is plot map of Huron Twp 1876. It show Fanny Fay owed a large amount of property on the Huron River. I am going to the library today and try to get an obit on Geo Fay and see if I can find one of John Fay. The Tyler Road Cemetery of Belleville, MI lists John M. Fay d. 1909 lot 59; Lucy Fay d. 1892 lot 59; Kitty M. Fay d. 1881. If anyone would like a copy of any of this let me know and I will scan. If Tena Anderson will contact me, I will keep my eyes open for the names she is looking for. Sincerely, Linda

Obituary provided by the Monroe County [Michigan] Historical Museum, newpaper name not recorded, dated July 30, 1915. ************************************************************************* FRANCIS FAY, who has been sick for several months from the infirmities of old age, passed away peacefully on Friday morning at 8 o'clock, July 30. 1915, removing from our midst one of the oldest settlers in this part of Monroe County. Mr Fay was born in Huron township, Wayne county, September 9, 1828, and died at the advanced age of 87 years 10 months and 21 days, being the last one of his father's family. When a young man he shouldered his ax and made his way on foot to the Northern pine woods, and after several months of hard labor he managed to save out of his earnings $250. Proposing to make his own way in the world he returned on foot to this part of the state, and with his fund of $250 he purchased the 80 acres in Section 1 of Exeter township, now owned by his son Dan. That part of the county at that time was a dense wilderness and the farm that Mr fay selected had not been touched by ax of settler in any way. Mr Fay's first team was an ox team, horses being too scarce, and in those days, on account of bad roads or no roads, it was common when visiting neighbors , for the men to walk and the women to ride in the oxcart. Deceased often spoke of his fishing trips with the Indians. He settled on the farm in 1847, and many others took up the farms in that section who have passed to the great beyond these 20 or 30 years, leaving Mr Fay the unique distinction of being the original and honored pioneer of this section. He was married in Huron township to Charlotte D Brown at the home of Enoch Chamberlain March 19, 1854. This union was blessed with ten children, six sons and four daughters. Two daughters died in infancy and two sons, William E Fay and Perry C Fay died in manhood. The surviving children left with the bereaved wife are: Dr O J Fay, Carleton, Mrs John Pryor, Belleville, Charles F Fay, Isle of Pines, Cuba, Mrs Dr. J D Hamilton, Detroit, Dan Fay, Exeter, Robert Fay, Detroit; he also leaves 20 grand children, and 7 great grand children, and Mrs Fay retired from the farm August 28th 1896, and since that time have made their home in this village. He was a man of sterling qualities and devoted to his home. He has often remarked that his long life and good health these many years were due to his clean habits for he neither chewed or smoked tobacco or indulged in intoxicating liquor of any kind. The funeral which was held in the M E Church Sunday afternoon at 2:30 was largely attended. The service was conducted by Rev C D Finch, pastor of the church. Burial at Carlton Cemetary. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

VERMONT FAY FAMILY LINE By Michele FitzGerald June 16, 2000 Genealogy of Direct Ancestors researched in Vermont. Capt Stephen Fay (1715/8-1784) Elizabeth Wellington Sgt John Fay (1734-1777) Mary Fisk (1736/1777) Henry Fisk Fay (1770-1818) Betsey Talcott (?) Warner Davis Laura Ann Fay Rancil Fay Davis Jennie C Cook The history of Vermont evolves around the Fay Family line mentioned above and their self-defined conjurer, Ethan Allen, brother Ira Allen, cousins Seth Warner and Remember Baker, Robert Cochran. Land speculation motivated early migrations from Massachusetts and Connecticut alike after the French War about 1750, and inspired opportunity that immediately spurred controversy of spirit. First settlers of Vermont migrated to the northeast corner behind the green hills guarding Lake Champlain, these so-called traditional Yankee. Our family history begins with the migration of Fay from Massachusetts to the southern tip of Vermont bordering Massachusetts and later migrating northwest into the fertile valley between Green Mountains and Lake Champlain - dubbed the radical Yankee. Our particular Fay Family line initiates at the capital of the Green Mountain Boys - Bennington, VT. And without regurgitating well-documented and often recited language of written lore, I endeavor to make relevant remnants of an historic legacy to present-day family heritage. Further, I attempt to spread the legacy beyond the relish for Revolutionary fame onto succeeding generations not yet as widely published or as completely researched as the founders of Vermont and original settlers of Bennington who are the Fay Family. I begin with the fall of John Fay Esq. (1734-1777). Col. Ethan Allen recounts in his published narrative recollection of the Battle of Bennington - the fateful August day, 1777 - when on the 16th Sgt John Fay fell martyr to a presupposed cause. The enemy invested 1500 chosen men, British and Tories together, in their movement toward Bennington. The design was to "demolish it, subject its mountaineers, to which they had great aversion". The young state of Vermont in consequence procured "a number of brave militia from the government of the state of New Hampshire," along with militia from Massachusetts as well as its collection of Green Mountain Boys, to constitute a "body of desperados" under command of the "intrepid gen. Stark". This "little militia of undisciplined heroes," in the words of Col. Allen, equaled in number that of its enemy. The narrative continues, "…with their long brown firelocks, (the best security of a free people) without either cannon or bayonets, was, on the 16th day of August, led on to the attack…" In "less than one quarter of an hour the attack became general," whereby recorded history interrupts to confirm at that precise moment Sgt. John Fay raised his rifle, siting silently to himself he is fighting a good cause. Before his trigger finger responded to his intention to fire a single shot from his brown firelock, he received direct impact by the enemy to his head, mortally wounding this patriotic son and beloved brother of freedom and liberty. Hence, the cause swiftly converted from confrontation between soldier and desperado over occupation by the perilous ringing "John Fay is shot!" to a battle valor between right and wrong. Justice was served up to the enemy on August 16, 1777, and remains to this day etched into eternity on the tombstone of John Fay Esq., "A sweet remembrance of the Just Shall floweth while they sleep in the Dust" Desperados turned heroes took enemy "cannon, killed and captivated more than 2/3 the enemy, immortalizing gen. Stark, and made Bennington famous to posterity." Col. Allen reunited with family and kindred spirit in Bennington after a battle he himself did not fight, but fully conjured by his personal conception of liberty, omitting sentiment in his narrative to the passing of martyred friend, John Fay Esq. Love of country became synonymous with love for John Fay Esq. August 16, 1777, a messenger of Justice. John Fay (1734-1777) fell martyr at the Battle of Bennington and remembered as a catalyst to the Revolutionary War, whose human sacrifice spurred perpetual victories thereafter and whose human spirit could not relinquish his wife and youngest sons. The Bennington Museum at Bennington displays one copper and one brass "vessel" for water that Stephen Fay, John's mourning father, used to wash "the gore from his son's corpse and wiped his gaping wounds" off this his "darling of my soul". Other artifacts are also on display with reference to the Catamount Tavern and the silverware used for guests. Mary Fisk (1736-1777), died within a month of the death of her adoring husband, it is said from grief. She followed him into the ever after as did their two youngest children, Joseph and Hiram Fay. One twin tombstone rests to the left of John Fay Esq. marked, "In Memory of Joseph & Hiram Children of John and Mary Fay Joseph Died Sept 1_, 1777 Hiram Died August 24, 1777 Aged 5 years and nine days Aged 4 months and 24 days Cropped down in early Life our Joys are Fled And die entombed amount the silent dead Sleep on sweet babes your work on earth is done And you are gone to seek a heavenly home" The single tombstone to the right of John Fay Esq. marked, "Mrs. Mary Fay Consort of John Fay Esqr Who departed this life on the 31 Day of Aug AD X777 In the 39th Year of her Age Peace to the Sacred relicts of the Dead Who more than conquer death Through CHRIST their head." John Fay Esq. tombstone is marked also by flag and insignia posted at its side to identify him as a soldier of war. "In Memory of John Fay Esqr. Who Fell fighting for Freedom of his Country in the Battle Fought between Genr Stark and Colo Baum Falling Bennington Battle on the 16th of August 1777 In the 45th year of his Age A sweet remembrance of the Just Shall Floweth while they sleep in Dust" They are buried at the Old Bennington Cemetery next to the Old Church, a Bennington landmark, a block from the site of the Catamount Tavern and Bennington Memorial Monument. John Fay Esq. is survived by his youngest son, Henry Fisk Fay (1770-1818), and oldest children. Henry Fisk Fay migrates to Richmond, VT, marries Betsey Talcott, together with brother Nathan settles Fays Corner, builds an cloth dressing industry, and removes to Burlington to practice law. Henry Fisk and Betsey Talcott are buried in a wilderness cemetery outside Fays Corner, VT.

Dear Folks, I would like to suggest that beginning genealogists need to start a genealogical research notebook for their family lines. There are several reasons to do this activity. The first is that you will have a hard copy of your research in case a virus gets your machine. A second reason is that you will learn what various documents will give you as you research your family. By beginning with your own information and section of the notebook, you will have a more complete history for your own descendants. I would begin by purchasing a snap notebook or two. I use zippered snap notebooks of the same kind that many high school students carry to class. Then put in a divider for each member of your immediate family and those relatives that you are going to research. Put their names on the divider tabs. Next you will need some basic forms for each section. One of the most complete sets of forms is available for reproduction in Emily Anne Croom's THE UNPUZZLING YOUR PAST WORKBOOK (1994). Several other basic genealogy paperbacks will offer similar forms to use. I found that 40 copies of the following forms was a good plan: AHNENTAFEL (2 pages) Biographical Outline (Front and back/2 pages), Family Group Chart, map, Census Index, Military Index, and 5 generational family tree forms. I also copied the CENSUS forms for research purposes as many local libraries do not have basic forms although they may have Census documents. The AHNENTAFEL is a simple form on which you write the full names of the ancestors of each person. As you go back generation by generation the numbering and some of the information will change individual by individual. You can add information on this form for each person as you find it. The basic BIOGRAPHICAL OUTLINE is a record of what you have found out about each person. This includes birth dates and places, marriage information, events in the life of a person, etc. The Family Group Sheet includes information on the individual and his/her spouse, and their children. The map can be useful in documenting the movement of some families, particularly the ones, like one of my cousins, who moved 40 times "like a rolling stone." For example, you can plot where children were born and some died as the family migrated across the country, which may help you find information on them. The Census Index and Military Index are useful in documenting when and where the family lived in a place, as well as serving as a check list for the Census materials gathered for each person. The 5-Generational family tree offers a quick view of where you stand in collecting information about each individual, as well as their relationship to other persons in your notebook. You may also want to keep track of genealogical seminars which you attend as well as making a master list of the resources you have used (and where your found them), so that you don't duplicate information searches unless it is necessary to relocate some piece of information. In my research notebook, or example, for my grandparents, I have a copy of their wedding announcement (clipping from the newspaper), and wedding guest book, which I could take with me on a research trip, without taking the risk of losing the originals. I have photo reproductions of photographs of their gravestones, and of the cemetery plot record cards. I have a graph paper page showing where they lived based on a series of City Directories from Elgin, IL (1880-1923). Using this list, we were able to go to Elgin and photograph 4 of the 7 houses or apartments where they lived, and the church where they worshipped. Because I had put copies of the family genealogies from two town histories and from the FAY GENEALOGY book in the front of my notebook, I had this material on hand when I visited Neenah, WI. I was unexpectedly able to find the grave of my great great grandfather Amos Robinson which we did not know would be in that cemetery. It was very near to our family's FAY plot. These are just some suggestions as to what you can put into your notebook . I find that these research notebooks are often much more helpful than a laptop computer, because you can easily enter or change data as you find it. Just be sure to document on the back side of your copied sheets the bibliographic information and place where you found the information. Sincerely, Mary (FAY) Nelson 9

>From "History of Monroe County, Michigan" Talcott E Wing, Editor, New York, Munsell & Company, Publishers. 1890 ************************************************************************* ORION JONATHON FAY, of Carlton is one of the self made men of Monroe County who have steadily worked their way from the lowest round of the ladder to a very enviable position, and whose ambition will hardly be satisfied until they have reached the top. He is a descendant of the old Puritan stock that came over on the Mayflower, being the son of Francis and Charlotte (Brown) Fay, and born in the township of Exeter June 20, 1860. The fathers family came from Massachusetts, the mothers from Vermont, and settled in Monroe County in the early part of the thirties. When the California gold fever broke out in 1849, Mr Brown, his wifes father, crossed the continet with a wagon train, and remained on the Pacific coast until the outbreak of the Rebellion, when he returned by water. He is next to the oldest of eight children, six boys and two girls: Edwin E. born 1858, Lucretia, 1862, Charles, 1864, Lois Lavina, 1866, Dan, 1868, Albert, 1871, and Perry, 1875; all of whom are married with the exception of the doctor, who with Charles, Albert and Perry, are still bachelors. When a mere lad, Dr Fay began the battle of life and has fought his way heroically, unaasisted, until he has at an early age, by his indominable energy, sound business sense and sterling integrity, won the confidence of his associates and fellow citizens. He attended the common district schools of his township, which education his parents deemed sufficiant for him, but in this he disagreed with them and finally his father took him to Flat Rock to attend the high school there, but with positive injunctions to the party with whom he left him that he must earn his board and pay his own way, as he would not be responsible for any of his expenses. This he pluckily did, and the four years course was completed in three years and nine months., graduating June 28, 1878. The principal, Mrs Harriet B Jones, has in early years been the preceptress of Fays father. Having tasted the sweets of knowledge, Mr Fay determined to mount higher and accomplish more. With this purpose in view, after graduating from Flat Rock Union High School he matriculated in the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, taking a partial literary course and a special course in German and French, the knowledge of which he deemed esential in the practice of medicine, to which he had determined to devote his life. He took the two courses of dentistry and medicine at the same time, and by close application and pertinacious work completed the usual five year course in three years and three months receiving his degree as Docotr of Dental Surgury March 23, 1881, and of Medical Doctor June 30, 1882. Not content with this he determined to grasp all the honors that his Alma Mater could confer on him, and in the Department of general chemistry took special courses in electro therapeutics and practical manipulations o of electrical apparatus and in the physiologocal laboratory. In politics he has always been a Democrat, his maiden vote being cast in the effort to seat General Hancock in the Presidential chair, but has never taken any active part in the councils of his party nor held other office than that of health physician for the Township of Ash, his time being too fully occupied in the practice of his profession of medicine and surgery. Socially he has many warm friends, and takes great interest in the several fraternal organizations with which he is connected. He was made a Mason in Hiram Lodge No 110, at Flat Rock in 1880, and is a charter member of Orion Lodge, No. 123, Ancient Order of United Workmen, which was named in his honor. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

----- Original Message ----- From: Les Hewett, Napier, New Zealand To: FAY-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2000 9:50 AM Subject: THOMAS AND CATHERINE FAY In my search for JJ Fay, New York businessman, Lainie Norton dno@mindspring.com has provided: "John" Fay owned the Washington Square Market in NY. His parents were Thomas and Catherine who came from Ireland in the early 1800's. Thomas invested his money in land at Port Washington, Glen Cove and Sands Point. Besides selling land he built and sold hotels and homes. Thomas and Catherine also gave land and buildings to their children as wedding presents. There are similiarities to my Port Washington/NY City JJ Fay, enough to make me believe it is he. Has any lister further information on this family? If so please contact both Lainie and myself. Does anyone with a knowledge of New York in the late 1800's know if St. Nicholas Avenue, north of Central Park, could have housed wealthy New Yorkers of the period? Any further assistance greatly appreciated from 8000 miles away. Regards and thanks: Les Hewett, Napier, New Zealand.

Hi everyone, Some time ago a guest book was added to the Fay website. Since then 53 people have signed it, many apparently while surfing the web. Many express an interest in learning more about their relatives, and would apparently like to know more of the Fay family history. Although a few are subscribers to this mailing list, the vast majority are not subscribers. Many of the postings are new to me. If you would like to look through the various guestbook entry's and their information, it is pretty easy to find by clicking on these 6 page links. Look BELOW the white information areas. http://www.guestbook.de/yasg.cgi?X=198942&P=1 http://www.guestbook.de/yasg.cgi?X=198942&P=2 http://www.guestbook.de/yasg.cgi?X=198942&P=3 http://www.guestbook.de/yasg.cgi?X=198942&P=4 http://www.guestbook.de/yasg.cgi?X=198942&P=5 http://www.guestbook.de/yasg.cgi?X=198942&P=6 Normally you can get to these entrys by selecting the page listings on the bottom of the Guest Book section. Good luck, Bob ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
