Re: John Fakes, father of Albert L and William C
Hello Denise and Emily,
My name is Cheri Fakes, and my father's name is Arthur Fakes; and I've been trying to find where the rest of my family came from. I'm in Scotland at the moment, because my family was able to trace us back to a John Fakes who came to the United States from Scotland when he was about ten years old, and his profession was listed as a hatter. He eventually settled in Tennessee, where he grew up to become a justice of the peace. He married twice (because his first wife died), and if I'm remembering correctly his first wife'd namd was Mary and his second wife's name was Elizabeth. Right now, the Scottish Registry's and my best theory is that John Fakes and his family lived in the highlands but emmigrated to the United States when the English started to invade around the mid 1700s.
I don't have all my notes that I've taken in front of me at the moment...but in them I do have some exact dates written down...I'm at an internet cafe that's down the street from where I'm staying in Scotland, and will be back home in Illinois by the end of the month. But if either or BOTH of you could please reply to this message or e-mail me, I would love to piece together any information on our family as possible.
My family would love to talk to you as well. Please! I feel like I'm so close to connecting the dots as to where John Fakes came from...I would love to talk to you both!
Sincerely,
Cheri Fakes
