Hello Cousin Allen FAIRFAX, who is blessed with the opportunity to cross the big pond and visit James and Peter Fairfax's Home Church this summer!!! ...{:) TAKE PICTURES!!!! ...{:) Excellent find ... Faircloth is a prominent NC name ... Senator Faircloth hails from Sampson County, NC and is a favorite son of Clinton, NC the county seat . ... and yes I have been referred to as Fairchild/Fairfield/Fairfox ...etc. The Ed Lovitt referred to in the listings may be the grandpappy of the Lovetts who moved to Columbus County, NC and Heck Lovett who bought Jack Fairfax's Farm and "Other Fairfax Lands" as referred to in the Columbus County Historical History....{:). If we can determine Walter Fairfax's (Northampton County, NC Constable in 1802/3& finally residing in Nashville,Tennessee in 1806) siblings and parents and the Jernigan Family connection to Whitmel Jernigan (Whitmel's Will of 1793 in Bladen County, NC) ... we may very well be heading "back to" England ...{:). Jack Fairfax is an original Charter Member of the FAIRFAX Society of England and Gerry Webb's book "FAIRFAX of YORK", January 2001, refers to him as a viable source of FAIRFAX history in England. Keep on, keeping on!!! ...{:). The referred to listing of Dobbs County Military folks also lists Jesse Jernigan, who I believe may be our JERNIGAN patriarch of North Carolina ...{:) Have a great day ... you just made mine! Best regards, Cousin Dan Fairfax 2629 Somerset Drive Nashville, Tennessee 37217 dfairfax@nespower.com <mailto:dfairfax@nespower.com> P.S. - HAPPY BIRTHDAY W. S. Hardee of Horry County and many more Blessed years to you COUSIN! ... your significant contribution will always be recognized as a gracious and excellent source of family research by us "newbies"!!!! Cousin Dan ========================= -----Original Message----- From: Allen Fairfax [mailto:fairfaxa@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2001 9:42 PM To: DFairfax@nespower.com Subject: Peter Fairfield Hello Dan, Think I found another reference to Peter Fairfax ... go to the following: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~paday/dobbers/men_over_age.htm <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~paday/dobbers/men_over_age.htm> and you will find a listing for a Peter Fairfield among a bunch of folks who are listed in the same tax list with Peter Fairfax in 1780 ... I suspect this is either someone not remembering his last name correctly when they made the list (has anyone ever called you Dan Fairfield or Dan Faircloth? that has happened to me several times ... except for the "Dan" part!!) ... or, perhaps the writing is illegible ... not sure it helps much, except we may now know that Peter Fairfax was not a young man during the Revolution, which leaves open the possibility of him being the same Peter as the one that got married in London .... couldn't find any Fairfields in the other lists ...
