DNA LineagesWalter Fairbairn
#1003, (cir. 1784 - Jan 1859)
| Father | Archibald Fairbairn * (say 1760 - bt 1800 - 1841) |
| Mother | Alison Crosser (say 1760 - bt 1800 - 1841) |
| Recruit(Wanted) | The project would like to recruit a representative of this line. Although we do have a representative from a John now assumed to be Walter's son, it is always good to have a confirmed paper trail linking two members to ensure we have a good dna signature for the family. |
| WebIntro | For many years Ed and I have been trying to prove that John Fairbairn of Delaware Co, New York, known to be the son of a "Walter of Roxburghshire", was a previously unknown son of Walter and Agnes (Robertson/Robison) of Morebattle. There were plenty of gaps between their known children where John in New York would fit by date, and naming patterns indicated that Walter and Agnes "should" have a second son named John. DNA results just in (May 2009) have shown that this theory may well be fact, with a 12/12 match so far between Martin (F-1) and Michael (F-16). These were subsequently further strengthened with the 65/67 match between Michael (F-16) and a documented descendant of Walter's brother David (F-29). And now, Apr 2011, documentary evidence has been found clearly stating John's parents to be Walter FAIRBAIRN and Agnes ROBINSON. |
| Birth | Walter Fairbairn was born cir. 1784 Swinton, Berwickshire, Scotland. |
| Marriage | He married Agnes Robertson, daughter of John Robertson and Ann UnknownSurname, 22 Nov 1806 Morebattle, Roxburghshire, Scotland. |
| Burial | Walter Fairbairn was buried Morebattle, Roxburghshire, Scotland. |
| Death | He died 19 Jan 1859 Morebattle, Roxburghshire, Scotland. |
| Y-DNA Detail | With a 12/12 match to all of "clump 1" and Martin (F-1) in particular, this result, even at 12 markers, goes a long way to "proving" both that John in New York, son of "a Walter of Roxburghshire", is the son of Walter and Agnes, AND that Martin's Archibald belongs where naming patterns placed him, as brother to the above Walter. |
