Biography

I did most my family research in the 1990's, at the NJ State Archives, Church of Latter Day Saints, and I had work done at the Paterson Library as well as Lambert's Castle, Paterson, N.J. At the NJ State Archives, I met a genealogist, Betty Barker, who worked there. She knew a great deal about the Day family history. She believed we were on the 'poor' side of the family! There was a family split in two and records from the poor side are scarce due to poor families having no bibles (where people wrote down family events) or time to keep records while the wealthy families owned a Bible and kept records.

Jan Amenta, regarding your recent work with Hannah Letchworth, I am a direct descendant of Hannah's brother, Josiah Letchworth. He is my third great grandfather. On Ancestry I have the Letchworth/Prince Tree which is a public tree. I invite you to view it, you will find lots more information about this branch of the Letchworths. I believe you can list Hannah's birth and death dates as definitely 1790 to 1867. I have three sources on her profile. I want to let you know I agree with all of your recent Letchworth work. I posses a copy of 'The Letchworth Family in England and America' by Edward Hance Letchworth, Buffalo, New York 1940 which has been invaluable. Thank you, Jim Letchworth, San Francisco.

Hi Jim! So glad to hear from you! Hannah is my Great X4 Grandmother. This Month is when I discovered this. I only have her birth information and nothing on both her parents, Joseph and Mary Pryor. Josiah I have a photo I copied from MyHeritage. I can't pay for Ancestry so they will not let me see your tree. I do search work on MyHeritage which is where I found what I do have. I probably will drop Myheritage soon as well and just use it and ancestry for DNA information. I'm really glad to have heard from you.

Best, Jan

Name Meaning

]]DAY]] English: occupational name from Middle English day(e), dey(e) ‘dairyman or dairymaid’. Originally used only of women, it was later used of men with the sense ‘man in charge of the dairy cattle’. This is probably the most common source of the surname.

English: from the Middle English personal name Day(e) or Dey. In western England this is probably a pet form of David , but in northern England and perhaps elsewhere also it is a late Middle English variant of Daw, a pet form of Ralph (see Daw , Dakin ).

Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Deaghaidh (see O'Dea ). Related names: Daye, Dee
