The two Revolutionary War patriots are Dan Blackman and Nathaniel Fairfield, Ruth's father. If you ever wanted to join the DAR, these are well documented.I think you have more on the Gray line, too. Same goes for the Mayflower Society; you would only document down from Betsey...

Here's the Nebraska Society website:

aquafish4 — 2009-10-20 00:38:52Z

What can I say, I'm speechless!
I remember when I was little that my mother talked about the Mayflower and somehow being related to someone and also mentioned that we were connected somehow to the DAR as well. But I was a child and didn't pay much attention then.

I'm very honored to meet you and will check out the Mayflower Descendants website. Thank you for all the work you have done.

Re: Nathaniel and Judith FAIRFIELD -- daughter Ruth (Fairfield) BLACKMAN

mwbeerman — 2009-10-20 00:08:18Z

The Mayflower ancestor is Richard Warren, here's the line:

Richard Warren m. Elizabeth Walker
Elizabeth Warren m. Richard Church
Joseph Church m. Mary Tucker
Elizabeth Church m. Joseph Blackman
Abraham Blackman m. 2 Abigail Sims
Dan Blackman m. 1 Ruth Fairfield

I'm the historian for the Nebraska Society of Mayflower Descendants.

In 1989, Joseph Gray's stone was still standing.

Re: Nathaniel and Judith FAIRFIELD -- daughter Ruth (Fairfield) BLACKMAN

aquafish4 — 2009-10-19 23:24:03Z

No, I was wondering, but I was not aware. Who was the ancestor on the Mayflower?

Betsey's name was on the online list I found for Floyd Cemetery, but Joseph's was not. When the assistant town clerk went to take pictures of the headstones for me, she uncovered Joseph's stone. It had fallen over and was covered up. Perhaps that has happened to other stones as well.

BTW, happy anniversary, cousin!!

Re: Nathaniel and Judith FAIRFIELD -- daughter Ruth (Fairfield) BLACKMAN

mwbeerman — 2009-10-19 22:07:46Z

The "Gray" here in Omaha is a great-great-great-grandson of Betsey and Joseph, through their daughter, Harriet Caroline Gray. My line is through Betsey's brother, Nathaniel.

My wife and I visited the Floyd Cemetery in 1989--actually today, Oct. 19, 1989 (I remeber because it was our 5th wedding anniversary). The color there was really beautiful.

It was disappointing, however, that there weren't more stones. This is likely where Dan and Ruth are buried, but if there ever were stones, they're long gone.

Are you aware this is a Mayflower line?

Re: Nathaniel and Judith FAIRFIELD -- daughter Ruth (Fairfield) BLACKMAN

aquafish4 — 2009-10-19 21:43:08Z

Hello! Lots going on here today but just took a quick peek at your website which is beautiful! It goes to my grandfather William Henry Gray who married Sarah Edith Dickinson in 1901. What you may not know is that they had two children, Florence Ethel Gray b.6-19-1902 d.11-2-1981 (never married) and Carrie Muriel(Meg)Gray b. 7-9-1907 d.9-6-1983. Meg married Albert Pierre Burleaud 7-9-1933. They had two children, Pierre Henri Burleaud b.11-3-1939 d. 2-20-1964 (never married) and myself. I married and am the last living connection to the William Henry Gray line except for my two children (both unmarried at this time). As I am just beginning my search so I'm not sure which relatives are still living. I found one cousin on the Dickinson side but none yet on the Gray side. We seem to have lost touch with the relatives from Wisconsin. Truly I was not expecting such a quick response from such an old message. Is it a Gray who lives in Omaha? You may know this already but if you go to Floyd Cemetery, Floyd, Oneida Co., NY on Find A Grave and type in "Gray" you will find the resting places of our ancestors. So happy to meet you!

Re: Nathaniel and Judith FAIRFIELD -- daughter Ruth (Fairfield) BLACKMAN

mwbeerman — 2009-10-19 11:10:29Z

Hello Cousin! Dan did marry second, Elizabeth -----, probably a widow. From his pension application, we know he was married to Elizabeth before 8 Sep 1820 and that she owned property in Oneida County. The children's births were all registered in Pittsfield, and this marriage likely took place in or near Floyd, so Ruth is the likely mother of all. I have her death as after Eleazer's birth, 16 Mar 1801 and before the Sep 1820 date, probably in Floyd, as the death isn't registered in Pittsfield. For more on the family, see my website:

http://ourfamilyancestry.net/getperson.php?personID=I1670&am...

Have you discovered other cousins on this line? I know another descendant of Joseph and Betsey who lives here in Omaha.

Re: Nathaniel and Judith FAIRFIELD -- daughter Ruth (Fairfield) BLACKMAN

aquafish4 — 2009-10-19 05:52:18Z

I have recently begun my family research and discovered that my great-great-grandmother is Elizabeth "Betsey" Blackman married to Joseph Gray. I learned she was the daughter of Dan Blackman and Ruth Fairfield. I'm coming in late but do you have any more information about a second marriage for Dan Blackman or do you think that Ruth was the mother of all eight children?

Re: John FAIRFIELD m. Elizabeth KNIGHT -- 1632

jfairf — 2009-10-10 04:43:29Z

I am responding because my 2nd great grandfather Henry Fairfield b 1780 was living in Grimsby, Canada West (now Ontario) when my grandfather Abraham Matthew Fairfield was born in 1824. Census data of the children show Henry being born in Ireland. DNA testing shows a close relationship with the Wenham family but we can find no branch with a Henry or any other relationship with Ireland. Is it possible that your research could help make a connection? I would be happy to share what data I have if it would be of interest to you.

d. 17 May 1866 in Lincoln County, Ontario, Canada.
Spouse: Barbara Ann Unknown, b. 05 Jul 1797 in Pennsylvania.
Henry could possibly be John H or John Henry.
7 known children.
Looking for information on Henry's parents, when he came to Canada, etc. Looking for Barbara Ann's surname and any related information.

Re: Abram FAIRFIELD of Canada -- b. 1824

jfairf — 2008-12-06 05:38:49Z

Parents are Henry (perhaps John H) and Barbara Fairfield. Henry b. abt 1783 in Ireland. Barbara b. abt 1798 in Pennsylvania. 6 or 7 children of record, b. in or near Grimsby, Ontario. Data came from Grimsby Archives. It is from what they call a "Super Census" with the 1861 Canadian Census as the base. This census is not digitized.

Could John H be John Henry?

I have been unable to learn Barbara's maiden name.

I am also now looking for the parents of Henry.

Jennifer,

I do not have the parents name of Abram Fairfield, I can tell you that he married and OTTENY. Maybe this might help to narrow the search.

This spelling is a variant of OTTENI (orginal spelling) and OATNEY.

In reply to Jane Fournier:
Jane,you didn't say which specific area of Maine,so I'm not sure to whom you're responding. In case it's the Augusta area,here's what I've got(2 Edward entries):
The first Edward Fairfield I've got is Edward Henry Fairfield (b.9/3/1870 in Augusta), brother to my grandmother Eva and to Frank Wallace Fairfield. Edward Henry m. Mary H. Murray on 6/24/1894 and had 2 sons, Edward Murray Fairfield (b. 5/25/1895) and Sterling D. Fairfield (b.8/7/1896). Edward Murray Fairfield m. Mae Donaghy in Jan., 1921; I do not know of their descendants. Sterling D. Fairfield m. Pauline Fitch on 11/17/1917. Pauline d. 10/1/1924, and Sterling then m. Kathryn Costello in Aug.,1926. Sterling had 2 children: Sterling D. Fairfield, Jr. and Barbara C. Fairfield. I don't know who the mother was for each child. If I were to guess, I'd say Pauline Fitch was SD Jr.'s, and Kathryn Costello was Barbara's (maybe her middle initial stands for'Costello'). That's all I've got, but I sure hope it helps. Please let me know, and I wish you luck!

The Birmingham, England, Fairfield's would like to establish connection with Harry Howard Fairfield's family. Harry was born in Wolverhampton, England,in 1890. Immigrated to USA about 1911. He settled in or around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He married and had three sons and one daughter. We think his wife was called Lilian, and his daughter, Dorothy. He worked as a Sports Writer for a Pittsburgh newspaper. He was Secretary-Treasurer of the West Penn Soccer Commission. Previously he had been President of the West Pennsylvania Football Association. He came to Europe to cover the 1936 Berlin Olympics for his newspaper, and again in 1948 for the London Olympics. He died one month before his 101st Birthday. Help!
