Dear Jim, I was just checking my notes from my trip to Madison, WI. I was able to see the microfilm of the 1850 Census Index cards while I was there. Here is who I found, using your list of FAY-D Vol. 00 Number 44 X-message 1: 4> Fay, Joseph M. Kenosha Co. Town of Wheatland 1850:260 Fay, Sophrona Kenosha Co Town of Wheatland 1850: 260 26> Fay, Andrew Kenosha Co Town of Wheatland 1850: 260 27> Clarissa Fay not listed 28> Sylvanus Fay not listed 29> Fay, Lyman J. Kenosha Co. Town of Wheatland 1850: 259 30> Fay, George Kenosha Co. Town of Wheatland 1850: 260 31> Fay, Mary Kenosha Co. Town of Wheatland 1850: 260 32> Fay Florilla Kenosha Co. Town of Wheatland 1860: 260? I would suggest that someone who has access to the ledger books at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin in Madison, WI, please go down and get the actual dates and stuff for this family. Please copy down the entire line of each entry in the census book and note the item being covered for each item on the line. My guess is that Clarissa Fay and Sylvanus Fay died before 1850 probably in Cuyahoga County, OH or on the way to Wisconsin. The family was in Wisconsin in the Town of Wheatland by 1850. It is not clear from the Index cards whether Lyman Fay was living at home, or in his own home, or boarding with a neighbor. However, he is listed on the page before the rest of the family. Joseph M. Fay would be generation 5 and Andrew would be generation 6 from John Fay Sr. 1. Sincerely, Mary (FAY) Nelson 9
