    1. [OHGREENE-L] Fairfield ---a cemetery question
    2. RONALD EARLEY
    3. >From a "History of Madison County, Ohio" book, I received this information about my husband's gggg grandfather, Jacob WILSON, father of 12 or 13 children who were early pioneers in Clark and Madison County. " In the year 1802, after having lived twelve years in Kentucky, he came to Ohio and settled on the headwaters of Beaver creek, Bath township, and county of Greene, near the present site of the village of Fairfield." My question is this: If Jacob remained in that location, where would he have been buried?? Where is the location of the original town of Fairfield today, and is there a cemetery still in existence that would have graves from the early 1800s. Someone mentioned to me a cemetery on the lands of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, near one of the runways. Is this the correct location?? Sounds like a fun place to visit for Memorial Day! Any help is greatly appreciated. Betsy Earley
