Hello Sue, I will post this to the FAIRFAX - L list and forward it to the FAIRFAX SOCIETY of ENGLAND! Happy Hunting! http://www.the-fairfax-society.org/ Dan Fairfax Nashville, Tennessee [email protected] ================================= -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, February 11, 2002 11:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [VAFairfa] RE:Fairfax given name/ship from Scotland? Since we are on the subject I`ll put in my info. I spent many yrs. trying to make a connection to the Fairfax family because my ggrandfather was named "Orlando Fairfax Hoskins" only to reinterview my grandmother and hear her say that her father was named for "Lord" Fairfax because "our" ancestor had come to America from Scotland on the same ship as Lord Fairfax and they became very good friends." Now if I just knew what ship Lord Fairfax may have returned to America "on" then I would have the ship and info. of "my ancestor" Alas, that info. has alluded me for 30 yrs. now. any suggestions greatly appreciated.
