• Notes

  Currently (Dec 30, 2013) all FAY sourced data is from a book, not actual records. ————————————— aged 50 at death John married Susanna Shattuck Morse as his second wife, who after his death, married Thomas Brigham, Mary’s brother. There is a court case regarding a John Fay which could be this John, or his son who would have been about 20 years old at the time of this case: William Hudson, came to court in April of 1691 and bewailed “the danger that whores accuse rich single men or married men as the father of their bastards.” Because he was protesting his innocence in the case of fathering a child he was asked to provide evidence that another male could be responsible. Hudson produced evidence that “in August [1689] the soldier John Fay had been at the house of Ephraim Roper in Lancaster, in or on the bed with sd. Mercy Rugg lying upon his belly with some violent motions toward her.” By this time John Fay, sr. had died. Hudson was judged to be the father. —————————————- John FAY Massachusetts Vital Records to 1850, Watertown, Middlesex, Massachusetts, United States; Volume: Watertown - V1, Page(s): 44 John Fay and Sufannah (sic) Mofs (sic) married the 5th day of the 5th mo 1678.
