  • Notes 
    • from Bill Fairbanks, Terre Haute, Indiana:
      Mr. Fairbanks,
      Regarding William Fairbanks, ID:193362 (and several others in this - my - branch of the family) I have been collecting definitive information for a number of years. William (193362) was my great grandfather. Mary Thacker was his first wife. They had three children - Hattie Bell, Bessie Amelia, and Elmer. William's second wife was Mary House. They had six children - Ozeta, George Earl, William Henry, Margaret, Dorothy, and Ruth.
      William's father was George, elder brother of Hiram Tolbert ( 511) of Petaluma, California. Anyway, I have rather a lot of information, but not much time to polish it up.
      I've been constructing my branch through Ancestry Family Tree, but it is tediouswork owing to my unfamiliarity with the proofs and forms and citations.
      It may take a while, but when it is presentable, I think what I've gathered will solve some mysteries, and correct some misinformation.
      Just wanted someone to know.
      Bill Fairbanks Terre Haute, Indiana
