From Brookline Jubilee by John Pierce, 1847.
"There have been ten Presidents of the United States, sox of whom have gone to their final account. Washington;s second term of service in the Presidency closed in the month of my ordination,*
*He made his last visit to Boston, Saturday, 24 October 1789, the autumn after his Inauguration to the Presidency, the only time I was ever privileged to see him. Well do I remember the circumstances of his entry into our neighboring capital. The day was quite blustering. He rode on an elegant white horse, with his suite. He was subjected to the inconvenience of waiting a length of time, on horseback, on the Neck, for the Town and State authorities, who were assembled in the Council Chamber of the Old State House, to determine, which should receive him, or pay him the first honors. On arriving at the State House, he was conducted to a temporary projection erected over the west door, where he with his suite was stationed. There were three arches, which extended over, what was then Cornhill, now Washington street. On the apex of the middle arch, stood a company of singers, headed by Dr. Nahum Fay, who sand an Ide prepared for the occasion, with such effect, as to draw tears from the eyes of the hero, who was not accustomed to weep on the field of battle. It is said, that Mr. Webb, of Charleston, is the only survivor of the little band, who sang his welcome.
Owing to the exposures of that day, colds became very prevalent, which the common people denominated the Washington cold; but physicians called it the Influenza, probably for the first time the term was ever used in this region."
From the Eastern Argus (Portland, Maine), September 20, 1804.
"In Baltimore, fuddenly, Nahum Fay, M D of Bofton (Ma??ia) - a gentleman, (fays a Baltimore paper) whofe fuavity of manners, intelligent mind, extenfive education, and native benevolence of heart, juftly acquired him the efteem and regard of his acquaintance. While humanity has a tear, or friendfris a figh, the lofs of Dr. Fay will not remain unregretted.".

From One Branch of the Fay Family Tree by George Henry Johnson, 1913.
"John, b. 5 Dec., 1700; m. 17 April, 1721, Hannah Child; their home was in that part of Westboro later known as Northboro; in spite of his early death, 10 Nov., 1732, he acquired a large estate for the time. His grandson Jonathan (1754-1811) sent two sons to Harvard College and they were the first Fays in the roll of Harvard Alumni; Dr. Nahum Fay was one of the earliest graduates of the Harvard Medical School; his older brother Jonathan studied law, settled at Concord, Mass., and rose to marked success in his profession; the latter's son, Samuel Prescott Phillips Fay (1778-1856), was probate Judge of Middlesex Co. for 35 years and served on the Board of Overseers of Harvard College for 28 years; two of the latter's sons were Harvard graduates, Richard Sullivan Fay in 1825 and Rev. Charles Fay in 1829, while a third son, Joseph Story Fay (1812-1897), became widely known as an expert in Forestry and Floriculture by his estate in Woods Holl, Mass. A son of Rev. Charles Fay graduated at Harvard in 1869, and a grandson of R. S. Fay in 1881, while a number of J.S. Fay's descendants have been students at our oldest college. One of the scholarships annually awarded at Radcliff College bears the name of Capt. Jonathan Fay of Westboro. Laura Matilda Fay and Rose Emily Fay, daughters of Rev. Charles Fay were gifted women who contributed many of the critical notices published in the New York and Chicago Journals; Rose was well known in Chicago as a decorative artist and her marriage 7 May, 1890, to Theodore Thomas, the famous orchestral leader, was a society event.".
