Dear Jim, In rechecking the list which I copied from the microfilmed cards of the 1850 Census out in Madison, WI, I found what may be a mispelling of Sylvanus Fay's name. This is one Selvenus Fay, listed in the 1850 Census on Page 861? This might be worth checking to see if he was living with another family or on his own. We would need to check to see if the age given would fit with the rest of the Joseph Mason Fay 5 children, and also if he was born in Ohio/OH. Sincerely, Mary (FAY) Nelson 9
