Our relation to the poet Emerly Dickinson
​Elizabeth “Betsy” Fay is the grandmother to poet Emily Dickerson. The relationship to her is that Gersham 1 and John Fay 2 were brothers.
In the 1700s, Our grandfather Gerald Fay resided in Dublin Ireland. Next to his name, the word, GENT for occupation or gentleman. which at the time meant a person of wealth status and proper. I like to think it's easy to conclude that our ancient ancestors from Ireland or wealthy, land owners, and citizens of status and privilege.
"Toujours fidèle" is a French phrase translating to "Always Faithful," "Always Loyal," or "Ever Faithful"
