Hi everyone and as it's almost January, I'll try a post now. Is there any Huguenot history associated with this statement made by Orlin P Fay in "John Fay of Marlborough and his Descendants" 1898 JB Savage Cleveland Ohio. He is apparently been provided this information from other sources and is just repeating it. Here is the quote: "Antoine La Fay, a French Protestant minister born at Chattandun. He became Professor of Phrology at Geneva in 1584, he wrote several theological works and a life of Beza in 1606. He died in 1615. On Sunday July 25, 1593, Henry IV having abjured the Protestant faith conversed with the Protestant Minister Anthony de la Fay and embraced him two or three times, repeating to him the words "I have made myself Anathema for the sake of all like Moses and St Paul." Guizot's History of France spells it Anthony de la Faye but probably they are one and the same person." Is that a credible statement? We also seem to have some history in some branches of the Fay's of Huguenot history but it is unsubstantiated at this point. Is there any history of the Fay's, de Fay's, de la Faye's, etc as Huguenots? Thanks, Bob Fay > I'm sure that, once January is here, things will get back to normal on > the list. Hope my comments here have reassured anyone who was concerned. > Best wishes to all.
