1729
Gershom Fay II and Hannah (Oakes) Fay
birth of son Gershom Fay III March 30th 1729.
Dinah Newton born 1731
Marriage dates of the 3 Gershom Fays. I'm wondering about the date of birth for Dinah?
Recorded birth of Gershom Fay III
Gershom Fay II born September 17, 1703 in Marlborough Massachusetts. Died April 7, 1784 in Northboro Worchester County Mas. He and his wife Hannah (Oakes) give birth to son Gershom Fay March 30th 1729.
Gershom and Hannah children were:
​​According to the book:
Gershon born 1929
Thaddeus born 1731
Dinah born 1733
Adam born 1736
Joseph 1738
David 1741
Hannah born 1743
Millicent born 1746
​
1729
1751
Marriage
Gershom Fay III marries Dinah (Newton) May 28th 1751.
1755
NOTE
1778
For the months of June and July 1778 Samuel B Webb's
Gershom Fay “In AB” ??
Wm Fay
Tim (Timothy) Fay
John Fay
????
​Also, something interesting about this particular rollcall and that is John is missing from it. But I don't know what the date is
Looks like this says something about Rhode Island from 5th Nov. 1779
1778
Gershom Fay born 1729
Dinah Newton born 1741 ** she may have been born in 1731 making her 16 at marriage not 10 ha ha
​Why am I consistently seeing the marriage date of 1751 even in the Fay book?
How can they be married in 1751?
​
​Her date of birth has got to be wrong as there are multiple examples of the marriage being in 1751. So many places are saying she was born in 1741 making her 10 years old. Certainly does not make sense and, she started pumping out children as early as 1752. See the list below.
Well… this date is pretty clear :-(
marriage date May 28th 1751 birth July 15th 1752 William Fay
very likely she was born in 1731 making her 16 years old at marriage. Wm came along 14 months after marriage. next step, try to find verification of her actual birthdate and parents names
Not that I need it but here's had another example that there's no way Dinah could have been 10 years old or a birth year of 1741 and married in 1751 because her first children started showing up one year after marriage
Dates here are still not what I wanted but it’s better: if she was born 1731 makes her 20 at marrage and Gershom 22- At least I have a new YOB to work with.
