Dear Katey, Here is the only entry I can find on Lorenzo D. Fay in the Barnard, VT book. v. Robert [Chamberlain], b. Bd [Barnard, Vt], Apr. 17, 1823,: d. before 1894; m. Jan. 1853, Mercy E., dau.[ghter of] Lorenzo D. and Deborah (Richmond) Fay, b. [Bd], May 21, 1836. Lived in Franklinville, Iowa. (Newton, William Monroe. History of Barnard, Vermont with Family Genealogies 1761-1927 in Two Volumes. Vol. II- Geneaolgies, Burlington, VT: Published by the Vermont Historical Society, 1928: p. 113) I do not find him listed with the other Fay families of Barnard, Vt. There are a number of Lorenzo Fay's in Orlin P. Fay's book. However, they don't seem to fit your data. [OPF # 135-5] 5. Lorenzo [Fay], b. June 18, 1823. [Born in Ashford, CT] (OPF , 1898: 40) [OPF # 830-3] Lorenzo [Fay], b. Oct. 10, 1842, m. Elma Julianna Mead, b. Cato, N.Y., may 29, 1848. Agent for sewing machines 1882, Union City, Mich. and in Coldwater, Mich. in 1883. In Quincey, Mich. 1898. 2 chil. 1. Eleanor Corea [Fay ], b. Newark, NY, Aug. 27, 1873. 2. Clarence Lorenzo [Fay], b. July 9, 1844. (OPF, 1898: 70) [Born in Mich.] [OPF # 824] Lorenzo [Fay ], b. July 8, 1817, d. 1842, [Born in Westboro, MA, aged about 35 years] (OPF, 1898: 69) [OPF # 944-5], Lorenzo [Fay], b. 1811, d. 1813 [Born in Exeter, NY,aged about 2 years , no issue] I think that you are dealing with a Fay that is not yet connected to Orlin P. Fay's FAY Genealogy. I hope to get to Barnard, VT this year for my own family research and will let you know if I find out more information on him. Sincerely, Mary (FAY) Nelson ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
