Annie, Early Fairchilds in America has: Zalmon Fairchild was b. before 1765 CT; m. Tamar Summers, d/o Nathan Summers; Children: Samuel, b. 179_. 2 males, b. 179_. Ruey, b. ca 1794 Fairfield co. CT.; m. Alpheus Goodrich ca 1810 Ostego co., NY; d. 23 Feb. 1858 Otsego co., NY Charles b. 21 Jan 1801 Otsego co., NY Sarah "Sally" b. 6 Sep. 1802 Otsego co., NY The CT. land records show Zalmon as of Stratford on 17 Aug. 1796 when Nathan Summers of Weston, CT. gave a gift to daughter Tamer (sic) of 16A and a dwelling. On 9 Feb. 1799 Zalmon and wife of Trumbull, CT. sold 48A and buildings. Zalmon's first New York deed was in 1800 when he was of the town of Pittsfield, Otsego county, NY. On 23 May 1805 he purchased land in Columbus, Otsego county, on the Unadilla River. He is on the 1810 NY census in town of Pittsfield, Otsego county. 1818 is his last grantor date in Otsego county and he is not on the 1820 NY census. The will of Nathan Summers in Otsego county names the four living children of daughter Tamar/Tamer. This is in a section of unidentified and unplaced Fairchilds. I hope that this helps and gives you some leads to pursue. Annie Strawn wrote: > > Are there any Fairchild's in your book? I am looking for Zalmon Fairchild > and his daughter Ruey 's birthdates?
