NOTE: You'll notice a Mary FAY, as an adopted daughter of Jeremiah & Mary
FAY. I do not have verification, but I believe her to be a third child of
Benajah FAY & Rhoda EDWARDS RHODES, both of whom died in the year previous
to this census. The BRADLEY's with the family at this time are siblings to
Mary Ann BRADLEY FAY, the wife of Jeremiah Wilcox FAY. Lavina FAY is an aunt
to Jeremiah Wilcox FAY, and a sister to Benajah F FAY. |
