Orlin P. Fay 1898, Fay Genealogy: John Fay of Marlborough and his
Decendants. LDS Ancestral File gives date of birth 1652. He
embarked 30 May 1656 at Gravesend, England, on the ship Speedwell,
arriving Boston 27 June 1656, one of about five passengers destined
for Sudbury, Massachusetts. He subsequently left to join the
founders of the new plantation of Marlborough where in 1669 he is
recorded as a freeman with a wife and one child. 1671: among
petitioners for a grant of land (never granted?). 1675: proprietor
of Worcester, with 50 acres assigned lying along the county road to
Boston; he continued to live in Marlborough, in the southern part of
town later incorporated into Southborough (1727). 1684: one of
proprietors of the Ockoocangenesett Plantation purchased from the
Indians.

F.A. Virkus 1942, Compendium of American Genealogy, vol. 7, p. 850.
John Fay (1648-1690) was a Huguenot refugee from France to Wales.
Went to Massachusetts in the Speedwell in 1656. Lived Watertown,
later Sudbury, then Marlborough 1675.

G.H. Johnson 1913, One Branch of the Fay Family Tree; An Account of
the Ancestors and Descendants of William and Elisabeth Fay of
Westboro, Massachusetts, and Marietta, Ohio. There were 41
"Pasingers abord the Speedwell of London, Robert Lock, Master" which
left Gravesend 30 May 1656 and arrived Boston 27 June 1656. All 41,
including 8 year old John Fay, went to Sudbury, Massachusetts. John
was in Marlborough by 1671. He received a grant of 50 acres of land
in Worcester in 1675, but this may have lapsed as he never lived
there. The 1688 Marlborough tax list shows john ffay for 0£ 4s 4d
0f. On 18 April 1690 he became a freeman of the Commonwealth. There
were 56 grandchildren from his 8 children.

Watertown records also give the death of Mary Fay, daughter of John
and Mary Fay, on 2 August 1676.

Mary Fay Nelson, 9 October 1997. Believes that David Fay is the
father of this John Fay, but there are a number of David and John
Fays.
1) David Fay married 1616 in Penton Mewsey, Hampshire, England.
2) John Fay, son of David Fay, baptised in Penton Mewsey in 1651.
3) Various Fay families around Andover, Hampshire, England.
4) Wills, burials, and baptismals document four generations of Farys
in the Lord of Savernake's Estate Records, Collingsborn Ducis,
Wiltshire, England, about 11 miles from Penton Mewsey.

The following Fays were in American before John Fay. No family
relationship to John is known.
1) Richard Fay, resident of Dorchester, Massachusetts, 1634.
2) Henry Fay of Newberry, Massachusetts, died 30 June 1655.
3) William Fay townsman in Boston, Massachusetts, 1643.
Sudbury, Massachusetts, records name the father of John and
Michael Fay as David Fay who came to America before 1656.
John owned land in Worcester, Massachusetts, but remained in
Marlborough until the Indian threat (King Phillips War) forced the
family to move to the security of Watertown, Massachusetts.

Estate inventoried by John Newton, Samuel Brigham and Isaa Amsden on
1 January 1691.
