FAY / FAYE - PARRISH - BLOIS

Beth Learn Mon Apr 26 12:52:26 2004
There is a Maria A. FAY marriage to Peter BLOIS on 19 August 1819 recorded in the Chatham Co Georgia Marriages before 1850.
My GGG Grandmother, Maria A. FAY, stated she was born in Burke County GA (we think about 1811) and married Ezekial PARRISH about 1832 (according to her pension application statement of the early 1890s). She/they settled in Alachua Co FL. She told of being a school girl of 14 in Augusta GA or vacinity when she saw General Lafayette parade through. She died nearly 100 in 1905 (obituary from newspaper). A son and grandson were named Krama FAY.

Maria A. (FAY) PARRISH was probably too young to have married anyone in 1819 but I have found so few FAY and no other Maria A. FAYS in GA so thought these two might be related somehow.
