Hello, I am wondering about a person named William Fay? My VanPelt family had a wedding in Oakland, CA, in 1888. Most everyone attending I can Identify as a family member except for Mr and Mrs Wm Fay. The people marrying were Miss Genie Watson daughter of Mr. And Mrs. Joseph Watson and Mr. Arthur VanPelt. Do any of you have any VanPelt's, Watson's, Douglasses, Bennetts or LeGal's in your family?
