I wanted to satisfy my curiosity and clarify on the following points:
If Joseph (1775-1814) was at Rutland, VT we might find him or his widow there through the census.
1796 - Joseph comes of age
1800- Joseph in first census he qualifies as head in NY, Onondaga County, Onondaga.
1810 - only Joseph Fay listed in any census in MA. Three:
one in MA, Worcester Co, Southboro 2.0.0.1.0.2.0.0.1.0.0
two in MA, Worcehster Co, Athol a)0.0.0.0.1./0.0.1.0.1
and 2.0.1.1.0/2.1.0.1.0
1820 - Joseph died 1814.
Also, the town of Onondaga in NY was formed 1798. That is why the location of Onondaga is listed on the census for Jonathan, Joseph and William.
The town of Salina, NY formed in 1809 thereby listing at least Jonathan, Aaron, Paul, Polly, Wm and Wm Jr in the 1810 census.
The assumption is: as Salina was formed from other towns, it is likely Fay never moved but the town name changed.
1810-Salina, NY: Aaron and Jonathan (bros of Joseph). Paul Fay b1756, uncle, (James4, 3, John2,1) Who is Polly, Wm, and Wm Jr.?? Only 34 Fay surnames in NY in 1810.
1820 NY: 73 total Fay surnames in Ny in 1820. 13 of them are in Onondaga. Repeat names: Aaron, Jonathan, William.Many of the new names were descendants of Deacon James of Hardwick, MA.
Final note on Polly Fay. May have been misleading to suggest Polly Fay was the same as Polly (Fay) Kellogg. Reference was made primiarily to tell her story about Jonathan. Polly is a nickname for Mary and since not too many of the wives were mentioned in OPF, can't tell who she is at this point.
Browsed the 1820 and 1830 census for Rutland, VT to satisfy my curiosity. Hoped to find an Elizabeth Fay, for example. Something to justify OPF saying he was there. Found the following instead:
1820 Rutland, VT
Wm Fay 0.1.2.4.2.0.3.2.1.1(1780-1840 Reuben,James,John2,1)?
David Fay 1.1.0.1.0.1.3.0.0.1.0.1.1.0.1 (b1769)
Benj Fay 0.1.0.1.1.0.0.0.0.0.1.0.0.0.1 (b1780)
Benjamin and David Fay are brothers of Joseph Fay. Benj Fay was the shoemaker in Rutland mentioned earlier in prior post.
1830 Rutland, VT
Wm Fay 0.0.0.2.1.0.1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1.1.0.0.1
Benj Fay 2.0.0.2.1.0.1.0.1.0.0.0.0.0.0.1.2.0.1
David Fay 0.0.0.1.1.0.0.0.1.0.0.0.0.1.0.1.1.0.0.1
This post may be helpful to your search and also to others of this line because some of the census data is not indexed for public use such as 1830 Rutland, VT.
Had you checked out the Joseph Fays in MA? Remember I mentioned earlier that his wife, Elizabeth Learned, may have gone back to her family after Joseph died? That she had minor kids to contend? Learned cannot be found in the census for NY or VT. They are quite prominent in MA and CT (Thomson in particular). So what are the chances of Joseph's wife returning to MA to be with her family?
