Day

This book is dedicated to my father Clarence Allen Day, Jr. who lived from 1907 to 1966. It includes his father Clarence Day, Sr. and his grandfather Daniel Day. They lived in Armada, Macomb, Michigan along with many siblings and cousins. Daniel's father Erastus was the first Day in the county arriving their in the 1820's.

Our first Day ancestor to arrive in America was Robert Day who came in the bark Elizabeth in 1634. He was one of the first land owners and founders of Hartford, Connecticut. Many Day families remained in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
Also included in the book is the Allen family. Fanny Edith Allen was my grandmother, the wife of Clarence Allen Day, Sr. Her family came from West Bromwich, Staffordshire, England. They settled in Cook County, Illinois and then Clam Lake, Wisconsin.
