Fay Family scrapbook
A collection of interesting items
Old Paper

This page will be where I can drag copy and paste interesting sections of the entire phase genealogy as to make a scrapbook of interesting or notable photographs articles so on. Like the catamount Tavern and other news articles of the day. A patchwork of the Faye family also should do the same thing for the Kelsey side.

It will take me some time to complete the genealogy, but it's a start. On my grandfather side, Claude Fay, I am well aware that our genealogy goes back to 1648 when John Fay came from England aboard the speedwell at eight years of age. His father David was already here for about a year before the young boy showed up, but as luck would have it more as documented about young John Fay than his father at this point

Old Paper

It was through the genealogy research. I've done over the years that I happen upon many family members as a migrated across Massachusetts in New York in into Pennsylvania. Some members went into Vermont and did some quite notable things such as built what was called the T Faye, Tavern and it was the meeting place for the green Mountain boys and Ethan Allen during the revolutionary war. It was from that place that Ethan Alan attacked for Ticonderoga and took it from the British. Along with other Faye, family members writing the declaration of independence from England for the state of Vermont. The attack on Fort Ticonderoga was ordered by President Washington in order to capture the cannons at the fort and have them taken to New York City. I believe in preparation for an English Invasion.

​The catamount tavern built by Stephen Faye. Much literature on the family in Vermont along with Ethan Alan and the Green Mountain boys, which he was a party of.
