Dear Amy, Just a few details before I answer your request. There are between 10,000 and 15,000 known descendants of John Fay 1 [OPF #1] If you are a descendant of Jedediah Fay Jr. 5 [OPF # 135], then you are a member of this group. Please use the name of your main FAY person with OPF number in the Subject lines and this will help me help you. Our resource is Orlin P. Fay. FAY GENEALOGY: JOHN FAY of Marlborough and his Descendants, Cleveland, Ohio, 1898. This can be obtained from Higginsons Books and take between 10-12 weeks to receive a facsimile/photocopied version, which is still expensive. If Jedediah Fay 4 [OPF # 135 is your ancestor , then his line of descent is : John Fay Sr/1 [OPF # 1 and m(1) Mary BRIGHAM (1638/9-1676), OPF, p. 19 John Fay 2 [OPF #2] and Elizabeth WELLINGTON (1673-1729?), OPF, p. 21-22 John Fay III 3 [OPF #25] and Hannah CHILD, OPF, p. 23 Jedediah Fay Sr 4 (OPF # 61) and Elizabeth BRIGHAM, OPF, p. 25 Jedediah Fay Jr 5 [OPF #135] and Martha WING of ATHOL, MA, OPF, p.39-40 You may also want to track down a history of ATHOL, MA and see if it will give you better detail on your family. Currently I don't have this resource. I will try to get some hard copy information to you if you will snail mail me your address directly to my e-mail. <mary.bob.nelson@worldnet.att.net> Most of my material is accessible only by hardcopy.
