Jim, Do you have any sense of what year Lyman "the elder" may have removed to Kenosha County? Kenosha County came into existance in 1850 and he would have been perhaps somewhat older than most would envision wishing to undertake the challenges of a primitive pioneer culture and its hardships. Indian skirmishes were well known in Wisconsin in the 1850's and life was very hard. If it was before 1850, there is a confusing set of county incorporation dates that determine where records are kept. Could he perhaps have moved back east from here? I don't know of a second Lyman Fay in Kenosha county, but perhaps it should be researched.

I just checked the webpages you mention in the email below. Specifically the last one, which is the bio of Lyman FAY. This Lyman FAY is not the son of Benejah FAY (OPF 95) & Ruth WILCOX. The Lyman FAY in the bio is the grandson of Benejah FAY (OPF 95). Benejah FAY had a son named Joseph M FAY who was born July 31, 1805 in New York according to "The History of Parma" published in 1976 by Ernest Kubasek. The book does not mention that Joseph M FAY married or when and where he died. I do know the FAY's and BRAINARDS intermarried a few times. Thus there are two Lyman FAY's who removed Kenosha, WI.
