Edward was more prosperous and the house in Newtown had been a tavern ,at one time. James was a school teacher and his saltbox home was more modest and had some neat ,quirky places in it ...I grew up in a home that my dad designed and built.Years later ,we discovered my dad had built an almost identical house, like Edwards ,without even realizing it he had never seen it til my brother found it in his research. Some folks would call it a gambrel,but it was actually known as a Cape Anne. Unfortunately, in later years,new owners considered it a Dutch Colonial and painted the chimney white! It might be helpful to contact the various historical societies I mentioned, before.They should be able to give you and idea of burial locations ,in Stratford/Fairfield County,Ct.....I am most familliar with Edward and the cemetary on a back dirt road in Newton area.There is also a Samual ,buried in Woodbury,Connecticut.....and I know there are more Fairchilds in that area and Southbury,as well......I haven't been able to keep up on this, as much as I had planned ,but hope this may give you some areas to check out. Please let me know how it goes for you..
