About 1792 in New Jersey.
Unknown Day children from about the1890's
But from there we lose the trail. I found all my research, which I did 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. 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! She told me there was a family split 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.
