Biography:
Lucy was born on 7 February 1762 at Westborough, MA, under the name Warrin. She was the daughter of Moses Warren and Persis Rice.

Marriage banns for Lucy Warren and Nahum Fay were published on 6 August 1779 at Northborough, MA. Lucy Warren married Nahum, son of Paul Fay and Rebecca Rice, on 7 December 1779; Nahum of Northborough and Lucy of Westborough, Mass. At the time of their wedding a great snow rendered the roads impassable, and embargoed all ordinary vehicles of conveyance. Their wedding guests drew Lucy across lots on a hand sled - nearly three miles to her new home; in the mean time, the weary Nahum followed on rackets after the sled, with one eye on the team, and the other, and his hand, upon the precious freight to save it from a plunge, for if the sled should upset or what was more likely, be overturned - for there were mischievous rouges, even in those days.

Lucy Warren died on 23 October 1850 at Northborough, MA; aged 88y 8m 16d, under the name Fay.
