​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?
​
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 20 years old at marriage. Wm came along 14 months 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-
