Hi Vince, Saw your e-mail on William Faville. He lived in Dolgeville, New York until his death in 1865. He is buried in the Faville-Peck Cemetery in the Town of Manheim. His first wife was Happy Guile and his second wife was Desire Hewitt. William parents were Nancy Lewis and John Faville. They were early settlers in the Town of Manheim. There is a Faville Falls in the town name after this family. Susan R.
