Any body seen/heard of these folks?...ca. 1850 - 1880. -----Original Message----- From: Dan Fairfax [mailto:dfair777@home.com] Sent: Monday, October 18, 1999 10:01 PM To: Fairteam1@aol.com Subject: Confederate memorial & re-internment pics Hello Cousin William Avery FAIRFAX, jr. and Family!!!...{:) It is my pleasure to share any information in hopes of our common goals...whar da heck we cum frum?....{:) We are from Fair Bluff, NC and my dad remembers that Jack Fairfax, his father, did live in Marietta near Fairmont, NC and people tended to move back and forth across county and state lines as the MAIN Farms needed help in the late 1800's after re-construction. Jack eventually married and became a farmer in Horry County, SC adjacent to the Heck LOVETT Farm and did barbaring at the house. Jack later moved to Fair Bluff, NC and then moved to Clio, South Carolina and Barbered out of his house, where he passed away in 1935. We are stumped as to who John Quincy Fairfax, m. to Millie Jane Cribb parents are?....His sons' social security card applications state his middle name to be KELLY?...have you any idea why the QUINCY and Kelly are interchanged in different records? The Maryland FAIRFAX Family was protestant and the Virginia FAIRFAX Family tended to stay with catholicism for a while longer....the history in England does reflect that both FAIRFAX Families are related in England. Are there any other FAIRFAX Family members of your'ns that are researching the origin of John and Millie FAIRFAX? If you can, at your convenience, share some copies of old family pictures, even if they are zerox renditions we shore wud appreciate your efforts....{:) Jack's brother Davis Fairfax owned a barber shop in Fair Bluff, NC in the 1930's and then began selling grave monuments. When ever you folks set up another reunion next year, please let me know and I might be able to get a "kitchen pass" to come visit. Puh-lease keep me in your loop, and I hope everything is fine with your family!!!! Thank you for replying!!!
