Howdy Gil...great to hear from ya!!!!....{:) In my personal interview with Vincent FAX, two years ago, he stated that his father would take him, as a young child, to the Hammond Cemetery on Spring Branch Road off of Hwy 76 SC and point to Levi FAIRFAX's headstone and say "That's your grandfather". I do have Ellis FAX's social security application (copy), and he listed Levi FAIRFAX and Louisa GRIFFIN Fairfax as his parents....{:). I contacted a FAX in Lumberton, NC and he was a Doctor and now has mopved his practice back to Washington State. He stated the real FAX name is of sweden origin (Faux), and no relation to the FAX folks of Englaish Background. "Bud" Ellis FAX entered his last name as FAX on the land deed document in the Mt. Olive Baptist Church area because he was illiterate and when people asked his name, due to his "accent", they could only make out "fax", so every body started referring to them Fax folks and he therefore entered his last name as FAX as a convenience to himself....all of the FAX folks in Green Sea area and the cemetery is of LEVI FAIRFAX origin. Levi Fairfax was the brother to my gg-grandfather Hugh Fairfax, who is also buried with his wife Evelyn Caroline HINSON Fairfax, near Levi Fairfax and Louisa Fairfax in the Hammond Cemetery...{:). You can verify this with Vincent FAX....{:) Please continue to keep me in your loop????....{:) Any Louisa GRIFFIN Fairfax information on the Griffin Family would be greatly appreciated....{:) Best regards, Cousin Dan Fairfax 2629 Somerset Drive Nashville, Tennessee 37217 Home email: dfair777@home.com Home phone: 615-366-7222 You may quote this email anytime as a reference...{:) Dan Fairfax --------------- -----Original Message----- From: gil strickland [mailto:gilstrick@hotmail.com] Sent: Monday, November 29, 1999 3:35 PM To: dfairfax@nespower.com Subject: Fax's Dan: Was over in the edge of SC today and ran across some Fax's in tne mount olive Baptist Church Cemetery.
