[237] Festus may have been named for the Rev. Festus Foster, who was thethird Unitarian minister of Petersham from 1802 to 1817, but of coursehe could have been named directly from the bible, as was the custom.There seems to be doubt to the authenticity of Festus's middle name ofFenno as recorded in the family bible. His son said Festus told himit was Felton, his grandmother's maiden name. Murray M. Brown,Descendents of Isaac Amsden of Cambridge Massachusetts, (1934)
