Surnames: Fay, Foster
I am looking for information on Charlotte Fay who married Lewis R. Foster on 12 April, 1837 in Spencer (or Brookfield) Massachusetts. They had a least one child, a daughter named Charlotte who was born in Ware, Massachusetts. She married James Burt Conkey on March 1, 1870 in Brookfield, Massachusetts. They had at least four children one of which was Elmer Foster Conkey who is my great grandfather.

Any help that can be offered will be very much appreciated.

Thank you,
Stuart Robertson

Greetings from a third cousin once removed. I see that your message is 4 years old, but still has no replies. I found your message while doing my own search for Charlotte Fay. Found her quickly with a simple Google search. If you already have the following information, I apologize.
Charlotte was the daughter of Nathan (1785-1873), son of Thos. (1751-1837), son of Ebenezer (1713-1790),son of Samuel (1673-1732). The Fays appear at length in a genealogy of the Orlin family.
In addition to Charlotte Ann Foster, Charlotte Fay had three sons. One was Joseph Milton Foster, my great-grandfather. Another was Elgin, who curiously married Charlotte Fay's cousin Percena (spelled Parcena in the Orlin work)
I knew Charlotte Ann married a Conkey, but that's all I found in the Foster Genealogy by Fredrick Clifton Pierce, which takes us back past the Conqueror. Interestingly, the book was printed by the Conkey Press, Chicago, in 1899. Any connection?
I have traced Charlotte Ann's stepmother Julia Gay Foster back the the 1630's but I haven't found any blood link to Louis Reed Foster. It wouldn't surprise me if there were one.
Hope this helps, and I'm glad to put Mr. Conkey's name on our tree.

Greetings Cousin,
Thank you for taking the time to respond. The information you provided is very helpful. They do say good things come to those who wait. Just in case it would be helpful, here's a little more information about Charlotte Ann's husband and family; She married James Burt Conkey 01 Mar 1870 and they had four sons Elmer Foster (my great grandfather), Louis, Albert C., and Harold Elgin. Elmer married Caroline Putnam Hayward and they had 7 children Howard Nelson, Roy Lincoln, Lewis, Helen Brewster, Lester Hayward, Harold Foster, and Gertrude Louise (my grandmother). If can be of any help to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanks a million,
Stuart
