We have a coin silver Christening cup with a hallmark that we can not attribute. Can anyone shed light on this subject? Thank you! Valerie  IP: Logged |

A nice cup indeed. The inscription intrigues me. Fahys is a fairly uncommon name; the first person to come to mind is Joseph Fahys, founder of the Fahys Watch-Case Company. I have found nothing of his early life, but he did marry a woman named Marie L'Hommedieu Payne in New York City, c 1865. Was wee Marie a daughter? Was mother from the L'Hommedieu line that later went south to Mobile AL, giving us a pair of fine smiths, John and William? And what of the Dupuy middle name? A family attachment to the famous Dupuy's of Philadelphia? A tasty little mystery. IP: Logged |

Joseph Fahys was born in Belfort, France on 28 May 1832. He immigrated to the United States on or about 15 March 1848 and was naturalized 31 October 1854. Joseph had a daughter name Marie Louise who was born in Hoboken, New Jersey on 20 December 1856. Joseph also had a daughter named Marie Dupuy Fahys who was born in West Hoboken, New Jersey on 19 October 1867. IP: Logged |
