The Faa Family
As we have already seen, the name Faa or Fall, and, perhaps, Farr, too are first known in Scots history during the reign of James IV, about 1500. This first Faa, the Johnne Faa 'lovit' of the King. It is recorded that in 1752, seventeen gypsies were transported to South Carolina from Northumberland for 'incessantly shop-breaking and plundering'.
