AWESOME FIND!!!! ...{:). Excellent work!!!! ....{:). The Walter FAIRFAX, 1806 settled in Nashville, Tennessee and married to a Cecilia NEE Fairfax, named their daughter Matilda Fairfax, who married Robert Lusk, Sr. and who are buried in the Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Nashville, Tennessee. There were "Hessian" German Soldiers who fought on the British side in the Revolutionary War of 1775 - 1882. Maybe the "British Soldier story" referred to a soldier who "Fought" on the British side and quit to marry a local North Carolina "Lady" was a "Hessian"??? ... the Hessians were German mercenaries and were finally defeated by George Washington via a surprise attack on Christmas Morning ....{:).????? I reckon we need to locate a source for the regimental listings of the HESSIAN German soldiers who fought in America during 1775 - 1782 as a side bar pursuit??? I will pass this on!!!!....{:). THANKS!!!! Cousin Dan Fairfax 2629 Somerset Drive Nashville, Tennessee [email protected] btw - the Sgt. Frederick FAIRFAX, 1st Continental Line, North Carolina Troops, USA sold his land grant in Davidson County near Nashville, Tennessee ... no record of him moving to Nashville, Tennessee area. Only Walter Fairfax in 1806 time-frame. ========================= -----Original Message----- From: Allen Fairfax [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2002 10:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Hinson Hello Dan, A quick note to tell you I stopped by the archives yesterday to look up the New orleans Fairfax clan ... found 3 names in the 1850 census (first household) Daniel Fairfax, age 35, listed as a baker, born in "Germany" !!!!!!! Mathilda Fairfax, age 17, born in Louisiana 2 Simsons, also bakers, born in Germany (second household) John Fairfax, cotton broker, born in NY (third household) George?? (cannot really read this) Fairfax, listed as laborer, cannot tell where he was born So, unable to tell whether or not this John and Daniel are necessarily related to the 1797 John and Daniel .... makes me wonder whether Dormand and Herrenton are German names?? and perhaps some Fairfax married a German woman at some point ....I also have a previous find of an Emma Fairfax during civil war New orleans whose father was a "baker", anf friends with a jewish family (diary of a Clara Solomon) ... it could be that these Simsons were jews from Germany, as there was a large jewish population there during the war (I met a Jewish woman from New orleans up here who told me all about the history down there, she's into genealogy and is going there next month and will do some research on this for us ... she is also aware of a Fairfax plantation down there) I'll fill in more details later ....
