The Fay Family in America for Over 374 Years

Gilbert Park Fay's ancestry is documented in Orlin P. Fay's book, John Fay of Marlborough and His Descendants, published in 1898.  Gilbert Park Fay was born March 6, 1826, in Framingham, Massachusetts, the son of Park Fay and Sarah S. Williams; and was the 4th great grandson of John Fay (1648 - 1690) of Marlboro, Massachusetts.  Gilbert married Laura Sophia Brigham on 16 Oct 1853 in Natick, Massachusetts. Laura was the daughter of Ephraim Brigham and Sophia Howe, and was born 26 Dec 1830 in Natick, Massachusetts.  Gilbert's children were all born in Massachusetts, and his son, Brigham Park Fay (1885 - 1928), moved to Lakeport, New Hampshire on Lake Winnipesaukee, establishing the New Hampshire line of Fays.

As you read through our Genealogy Reports, you will discover our heritage lies with the 17th Century (1600's) English colonists who traveled to North America to form an English colony.  These same families, many of whom were farmers and merchants, participated in the American Revolution 100 years later to form an independent United States.  Read about their lives in the Genealogy Reports contained on our web site.

Current members of the Gilbert Park Fay Family have famous relatives such as:

King Of England Edward III Plantagenet (1312 - 1377) who is shown in the Smith Family web page.

Mary Ellen Perkins (1615 - 1700), the last Witch to be sentenced to be burned at the Salem Witch Trials in 1692; and the Duchess of Sussex Rachel Meghan Markle (1981 -  ), who married  Prince Harry, Duck of Sussex who are shown in the Merrill Family web page.

Captain Steven Fay (1715 - 1781), owner of the Revolutionary War Catamount Tavern in Bennington, Vermont.  Sergeant John Fay (1734 - 1777), who fought and died by being shot in the head by the British in the Battle of Bennington on August 16, 1777 (the turning point of the Revolutionary War).  Dr. Cyrus Fay (1778 - 1839), inventor of the forceps for extracting teeth and progenitor of the current day French and Tahitian Fay Families.  George Herbert Walker Bush (1924 -  2018), 41st President of the United States, and his son George Walker Bush (1946 -   ), 43rd President of the United States.

Our site has a sizable compilation of the Descendants of John Fay (1648 - 1690).  We suggest you look at it, and also go to the Fay Family Web Site at www.fayfamily.org for additional information.

Notes for LAURA SOPHIA BRIGHAM:
Laura Sophia Brigham is from the same Thomas Brigham Family that in 1669 had Mary Brigham marry John Fay. The Fay line in our family comes from John Fay's second marriage to Susanna Shattuck Morse in 1678. It is interesting to record that Laura Sophia's ancestor Thomas Brigham's (1640-1716) brother Samuel (1652-1713) was the progenitor of Peter Bent Brigham who left a sum of $1,000,000 which was not to be spent until 25 years after his death. By this time the fund had grown to $2,000,000 and was used to build the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, a world famous medical research hospital connected with Harvard Medical School in Boston, Mass.

Notes for IDA MAY HEMENWAY:
NH Vital Statistics show Park Stone Fay's mother was Ida Harris born in Massachusetts. Ida Harris was 23 at his birth which agrees with age of Ida May Hemenway on the birth certificates of the other children. We think this is a transcription error.

Notes for HATTIE E. MERRILL:
Park Fay, also a carpenter like Hattie's father, George Merrill, preferred an independent status. Instead of joining George Merrill, he handled all the boats and work at Beaver Island. Park, Hattie, and their five children had a cottage near The Gulf on what was then called Mansfield's Point, where George Merrill laid the stone steps leading from the dock to the Fay's' house. In the side yard, a tent was built to hold the overflow of children and friends. It was the children's job to gather rocks from the lake for the stone mason, Mr. Zibley of Center Harbor, to build the living room fireplace.

Hattie filled in as cook on the railroad work train that Park Fay used to get to construction sites.

From New Hampshire Vital Records (as reported by Howard Merrill on December 29, 2000) her name is Harriette Edith Merrill b. June 25, 1885.

Through Hattie Merrill's family, the Merrills and Fays share a maternal Great Grandmother who was convicted of Witchcraft. Hattie Merrill is Mary Ellen Perkins' 6th Great Granddaughter. Mary Ellen Perkins was tried and convicted of Witchcraft at the Salem Witch Trials in1692.

Mary Perkins Witch Trial Information

Source: "The Family of John Perkins of Ipswich, Massachusetts", by Geo. A. Perkins, M.D., Salem, 1882

"In 1692, Jacob Perkins’s sister Mary Perkins Bradbury was placed on trial for witchcraft. At the time, she was living in Salisbury, Massachusetts. Richard Carr's father had been a suitor of Mary before she married Thomas Bradbury. This led to a fifteen year disagreement with Mary and he probably influenced his sons’ and his son's friend in their testimony. Her reply to the indictment was as follows:

"I plead not guilty. I am wholly innocent of such wickedness through the goodness of God that hath kept me hitherto. I am the servant of Jesus Christ, and have given myself up to him as my only Lord and Saviour, and to the diligent attendance upon him in all his holy ordinances, in utter contempt and defiance of the Devil and all his works, as horrid and detestable; and have endeavored to frame my life and conversation in accordance with His holy word and in that faith and practice, resolve, by the help and assistance of God, to continue to my life's end. For the truth of what I have to say as to the matter of practice, I humbly refer myself to my brethren and neighbors that know me, and to the searcher of all hearts, for the truth and uprightness of my heart therein, human frailties & unavoidable infirmaties excepted, of which I bitterly complain every day."

All of the depositions against Mary were recorded in Seargent Thomas Putnam's handwriting except one. Richard Carr and Zarubabel Endicott testified that they had seen a blue boar come from and re-enter her yard and window. This was spectral evidence. Samuel Carr, Richard's brother also testified that he had seen Mary perched on the capstan of a ship at sea when things were going badly. William Carr testified that there was nothing he knew against Mary and referred to a broken love affair between the families.

Mr. and Mrs. Bradbury were prominent citizens and signatures of 118 of her friends and neighbors of a statement

"Concerning Mary Bradbury's life and conversation, we, the subscribers, do testify, that it was such as became the gospel: she was a lover of the ministry, in all appearance, and a diligent attender upon God' holy ordinances, being of a courteous and peaceable disposition and carriage. Neither did any of us (some of whom have lived in the town with her above fifty years) ever hear or ever know that she ever had any differences of falling-out with any of her neighbors, man, woman or child, but was always ready and willing to do for them what lay in her power night and day, though with hazard of her health or other danger. More might be spoken in her commendation, but this for the present."

This written testimony was not enough, as she was convicted anyway. By this time the Court of Oyer and Terminer had agreed not to execute any who plead guilty, but Mary had pleaded not guilty. She was convicted of witchcraft on 9 Sep 1692 and sentenced to be executed on 22 Sep 1692. It is not known how she escapted.

The last convicted witch execution took place on 22 Sep 1692. In the following month, the new Governor Phipps was appointed and put an end to the Court of Oyer and Terminer that had been doing the sentencing. Any remaining convicted witches (those that had plead guilt) had their sentences commuted by the governor. This was the end of the trials. On 17 Dec 1711, the governor and council authorized payment to twenty-three persons condemned at Salem. Mary’s descendants received twenty pounds in compensation."

Excerpts’ from : Bradbury memorial.

Records of some of the descendants of Thomas Bradbury, of Agamenticus (York) in 1634, and of Salisbury, Mass. in 1638, with a brief sketch of the Bradburys of England. Comp. chiefly from the collections of the late John Merrill Bradbury, of Ipswich, Mass. Page 63 - regarding Mary (Perkins) Bradbury at the Salem Witch Trails - During the trial of Mrs. Bradbury, July 28, 1692, upon the charge of being a witch, her aged and devoted husband bore testimony to her high character and the purity of her life in the following terms:

"Concerning my beloved wife, Mary Bradbury, this is what I have to say: We have been married fifty-five years, and she hath been a loving and faithful wife unto me unto this day. She hath been wonderful laborious, diligent and industrious in her place and employment about the bringing up of our family which have been eleven children of our own, and four grandchildren. She was both prudent and provident, of cheerful spirit, liberal and charitable. She being now very aged and weak, and grieved under aflictious, may not be able to speak much for herself, not being so free of speech as some others might be. I hope her life and conversation among her neighbors has been such as gives a better or more real testimony than can be expressed by words."

Rev. James Allen testified as follows: "I, having lived nine years at Salisbury in the work of the ministry, and now four years in the office of pastor, to my best notice and observation of Mrs. Bradbury, she hath lived according to the rules of the gospel amongst us; was a constant attender upon the ministry of the word, and all the ordinances of the gospel; full of works of charity and mercy to the sick and poor; neither have I seen or heard anything of her unbecoming the profession of the gospel."

Upham, the historian of the Salem witchcraft, says of Mrs. Bradbury: "The position as well as character and age of Mary (Perkins) Bradbury, entitled her to the highest consideration in the structure of society at that time. This is recognized in the title ‘Mrs.’ Uniformly given her. She had been noted through life for energy, business capacity, and influence: her husband Thomas Bradbury had been a prominent character in the colony for more than fifty years."

The character of the evidence used against Mrs. Bradbury may be judged by the following: "The deposition of William Carr, who testifieth and saith that about thirteen years ago, presently after some difference that happened to be between my honored father, Mr. George Carr, and Mrs. Bradbury, the prisoner at her bar, upon a Sabbath at noon, as we were riding home by the house of Capt. Thomas Bradbury, I saw Mrs. Bradbury go into her gate, turn the corner of, and immediately there darted out of her gate a blue boar, and darted at my father’s horse’s legs which made him stumble; but I saw it no more. And my father said, "Boys, what did you see?" And we both said, "A blue boar!" This venerable woman was about eighty years of age when she was arrested for the crime of bewitching John Carr so that he became crazed and prematurely died. The testimony of William Carr at the trial, went to show that his brother fell in love with Jemima True, but the proposed match being opposed and broken off by the father of young Carr, on account of his youth, he became melancholy and at times insane. He further stated that he was with his brother and cared for him in his last sickness, and that his brother died peaceably and quietly, and never spoke anything to the harm of Mrs. Bradbury or anybody else.

Mrs. Bradbury was defended by Major Robert Pike. She was convicted with four others who were executed September, 1692. Mrs. Bradbury escaped punishment, but by what means, does not appear.

From Wikipedia

Mary (née Perkins) Bradbury (baptized September 3, 1615 - December 20, 1700) was tried, convicted and sentenced to hang as a witch in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. However, she managed to evade sentence until the trials had been discredited, and died in 1700, aged 85.

Mary Perkins was daughter of John and Judith (née Gater) Perkins, baptized in 1615, at Warwickshire, England. Her family immigrated to America in 1631, sailing on the LYON from Bristol. In 1636 she married Thomas Bradbury of Salisbury, Massachusetts, considered one of its most distinguished citizens, land agent for his great-uncle Ferdinando Gorges and son of Elizabeth Whitgift, whose uncle John Whitgift was Archbishop of Canterbury under Elizabeth and James.

In the notorious witch trials of 1692, Mary Bradbury was indicted for (among other charges):

Certaine Detestable arts called Witchcraft & Sorceries Wickedly Mallitiously and felloniously hath used practiced and Exercised At and in the Township of Andivor in the County of Essex aforesaid in upon & against one Timothy Swann of Andivor In the County aforesaid Husbandman - by which said Wicked Acts the said Timothy Swann upon the 26th day of July Aforesaid and divers other days & times both before and after was and is Tortured Afflicted Consumed Pined Wasted and Tormented.

Witnesses testified that she assumed animal forms; her most unusual metamorphosis was said to have been that of a blue boar. Another allegation was that she cast spells upon ships. Over a hundred of her neighbors and townspeople testified on her behalf, but to no avail and she was found guilty of practicing magic and sentenced to be executed. Through the ongoing efforts of her friends, her execution was delayed. After the witch debacle had passed, she was released. By some accounts she was allowed to escape. Others claim she bribed her jailer. Another account claims that her husband bribed the jailer and took her away to Maine in a horse and cart. They returned to Massachusetts after the witch hysteria had died down. Mary Bradbury died of natural causes in her own bed in 1700, aged 85.

Her family friend, and her son-in-law's father, Major Robert Pike, was in command of all the forces of Norfolk County, Massachusetts Bay Colony and those located in present-day Maine. As early as 1650 he was what would now be called a trial justice and in 1672 an associate judge of the courts of Norfolk Co. In political life a member of the General Court when 32 and of the Governor's Council from 1682-96, when having reached the age of 50 years he retired to the private life of the farm.

Mary Perkins Bradbury and Thomas Bradbury had eleven children:

Wymond Bradbury (1637-1669), married Sarah Pike, daughter of Major Robert Pike
Judith Bradbury (1638-1700), married Caleb Moody
Thomas Bradbury (1640-1718)

Notes for WILBUR MERRILL FAY:
Wilbur Fay handled the northeast route for ice deliveries and also delivered groceries from the Bear Island store on Lake Winnipesaukee.

According to Fred Bulkley, "Ice was cut from the lake in the winter, covered with sawdust and stored in the big ice house at the shore line. It was my job to haul the 300 pound blocks of ice from the ice house and saw them into 75 pound pieces which sold at 50 cents each, delivered. The ice route ran four days a week in the morning, along northwest Bear and Pine and to the Beaver Islands in the afternoon. The Merrills' nephew, Wilbur Fay, handled the northeast route and also delivered groceries from the store."

Annie Fay Holt, 101
June 5, 2023
from the Concord Bridge newspaper

Annie Fay Holt, a loving mother, sister, grandmother, and great-grandmother, left us on May 27, 2023, at the age of 101.

Annie was born in Laconia, New Hampshire on March 21,1922 the daughter of the late Victor and Blanche (Dolloff) Rand. Upon graduating from Laconia High School, she enlisted in the WAVES, or Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service, a branch of female reservists in the United States Navy, where she served as a Radioman 3rd class. Stationed in California, Annie was responsible for transmitting battle orders to the Pacific Fleet by morse code.

While serving in the Navy, she married her high school sweetheart, George Fay, who was also serving in the Navy as a lieutenant. After the war ended, George and Annie settled in Wakefield, Massachusetts, where they raised two sons.

Annie earned a bachelor´s degree from Salem State University and a master´s degree from Tufts University before beginning a career in teaching. She taught in the Lexington school system for many years. After George died, she moved to Concord, where she became very active with the West Concord Union Church. She met John Holt in Concord, and they were married in 1980.

Annie and John raised quarter horses together in Groton and Barrington, New Hampshire, before returning to Concord in 1994. Annie and John were valued members of the West Concord Union Church congregation and particularly enjoyed their involvement in Sunday Fellowship, a community for adults of all abilities. Following John´s death, Annie continued to be active member in the Concord community, a frequent host to friends and family, a world traveler, and a volunteer with the Concord Women´s Club. An avid reader, swimmer, and faithful letter writer, Annie lived independently until she reached 100, a longtime goal. For this milestone, Annie was celebrated by family, friends, neighbors, church members, and even former students from decades past.

Annie is survived by her sister, Marilyn Healy, her sons Park Fay, Steven Fay, and Wayne Holt, eleven grandchildren, and thirteen great-grandchildren.

Family and friends will gather to honor and remember Annie on Sunday, June 18, 2023, 12:00 PM at the West Concord Union Church, 1317 Main Street, Concord, Massachusetts.

Notes for DR. ROBERT SARGENT FAY:

Dr. Robert Sargent Fay-beloved teacher, artist, father, and grandfather-died on May 12, 2013 at home in Hancock, NH, at the age of 78. Robert had been active and vital right up to the end, and his death came without warning, after a brief illness.

Robert Fay became the first professor emeritus of Landmark College in Putney, VT, a community where he was a teacher, tutor, and photographer. He was associated with the college for more than a decade, teaching in the English department.

Dr. Robert Sargent Fay

He was an assistant professor in Education at Boston University during the 1960's, and before that he taught at the Brown & Nichols School in Cambridge, MA and at the Lexington (MA) High School.

In over five decades in education, Dr. Fay taught and mentored thousands of students, and was known for his patience and ability to uncover hidden talent in students with different learning styles. He used his passion for photography and art as a means of stimulating creativity and expression from young writers.

Dr. Fay was an accomplished photographer whose work is in the permanent collection of the Currier Art Museum in Manchester, NH and was exhibited at the Sharon Arts Center in Peterborough, NH, at the Fitchburg Art Museum, and at the Brattleboro Museum of Art, among others. He was a consulting photographer on the PBS documentary of the life of Mark Twain, directed by Ken Burns and produced by Florentine Films. Other photographic projects have related to history and the arts, including subjects such as Emily Dickinson, the Lewis and Clark Exhibition, and the life and writings of Henry David Thoreau.

A favorite photographic subject has been artists at work, including at the MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, NH and at Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music in Sullivan, NH. He also photographed actors narrating Ken Burns' documentaries, including the actors Hal Holbrook and Blythe Danner.

Nature photography was a longstanding interest. He was the author of a book, Ocian in View! O! The Joy. A Collection of Photographs of the American West and he produced a slide show entitled Speak to the Earth, dedicated to the beauty of the Monadnock Region. In recent years he exhibited photographs on the subject of Walden Pond in Concord, MA.

As an alumnus, he was present for, and photographed the visit of, President John F. Kennedy to Amherst College in 1963 for the dedication of the college's new Robert Frost Library, Kennedy's last major speech before his assassination. When Dr. Fay died, he was working on an exhibition of those photographs to be displayed at the 50th anniversary of Kennedy's speech at Amherst later this year.

He graduated with a BA from Amherst College in 1956 and received his Doctorate in Education from Harvard in 1968.

Dr. Fay was born on May 26, 1934 in St. Louis, MO to the Reverend Robert Wolcott Fay and the former Helen Mary Sargent. His sister was the late Susan Fay Bash. In 1964 he married Grace Ann Morse and their three children survive him, William Bradford Fay of Skillman, NJ, Elizabeth Fay Russell of Wakefield, MA, and Helen "Joy" Sargent Fay of Melrose, MA.
