Dear fellow Wisconsin researchers, The following message came across my FAY list and seeks further information on a variety of surnames in the Menasha, Fond-du-Lac, and Neenah areas that are related to the Fay's. If you can help Mary locate these people or put her in contact with them, it would certainly be appreciated. And if anyone is interested in the Fay list, please drop me a note at johnfay1645@hotmail.com. Sincerely, Robert W Fay Union Grove, Wisconsin ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Mary F. Nelson" <mary.bob.nelson@worldnet.att.net> Reply-To: FAY-L@rootsweb.com To: FAY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [FAY] FAY, George Washington, b. 1823 V/.d 1896. SD Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2000 18:45:19 -0500 Dear Fellow Researchers, For a change I am putting out an inquiry. I am trying to find my closest cousins who are descendants of George Washington Fay, born 1823 in Royalton, Vermont and his wife Nancy Betsey ROBINSON, born 1824 in Royalton, Vermont. They moved to Fond-du-Lac, Wisconsin in 1848/49 and then moved to Menasha, Wisconsin in 1850. Dr. George Washington Fay was a Surgeon in the 32nd Wisconsin Infantry and served during most of the Civil War. He was also a Land Agent as well as a doctor. George Washington Fay died in May of 1896 in Huron, South Dakota, and was buried in Neenah, Wisconsin. Nancy Betsey Robinson died in 1901, I think. One of his sons, William Martin Fay was born in Huron, S.D. in about 1862. William married Miss Jeanne Louise WUILLEMIN in 1911 in Elgin, Ill. They had one son, my father, Richard William Fay. I have found the descendants of Charles J. Fay SR. Two of his great granddaughters are living in Wisconsin. Now I am trying to find the families of Ida May FAY who married Lorenzo Jones, and the family of Anna Webster FAY, adopted daughter of G.W.Fay, who married William Oscar Schmidt. My grandfather and his wife are buried in Elgin Illinois. Most of the rest of the family is buried in the Oak Hill Cemetery in Neenah, Wisconsin, near Menasha, WI Some of the names that I am looking for are: Henry Isherwood, Robert Isherwood, Fay Isherwood Harry E. Jones, Sadie B. Jones, Charles Loren Jones James Fentrie, Mary Fay Fentrie, Gordon Fentrie Marguerite Jones, Laura Jones William J. Griffin, Lucile Griffin, Irene Griffin, Ida Fay Griffin Dorothy Schmidt My Dad died in 1972 and we lost contact with these cousins. He had a specific request of me before he died, and that requires that I find all of the above people or their kin. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
