Morning all, Here's the Benajah FAY Jr line from the Federal Census. He's, of course, a son of Benajah F FAY (OPF 95) >From 1850 Brooklyn Heights, Cuyahoga County, Ohio Federal Census Dwelling 1094 Family 1210 Eli FAY 22 M Blacksmith 400 OH Lois 42 F 400 MA Amos 20 M Farmer 400 OH Henry 18 M Farmer 400 OH Lovell B. 2 M OH Lovina 16 F OH NOTE: Benajah FAY Jr. died in 1849. Lois HODGMAN was his wife. At one time, I thought Lovina listed with the family was Benajah's sister (since the age could have been 76), but on this census it lists Lovina as having attended school within the year. It looks as if Benajah FAY Jr had a daughter in addition to their other children. <Here's the start of Henry FAY info) >From 1860 Brooklyn Heights, Cuyahoga County, Ohio Federal Census Dwelling 580 Family 573 John LYONS 65 M Farmer 2000 200 NY Clarisa 54 F CT Silvia 18 F OH Henry FAY 28 M 500 50 OH NOTE: The LYONS family was living next door to the FAY family on the 1850 census.
