ASA FAIRBANKS, of Providence, R. I. (232), Asa VII, Asa VI, John V, John IV, John III, John II, Jonathan I. Born in Franklin, Mass., July 24, 1795; died suddenly, in Providence, in the summer of 1876, aged 81 years. He was a prominent merchant in Providence,-- first, in the hat and cap business, then in the grocery trade, and later was a cotton merchant. He was very much interested in the anti-slavery cause; lectured upon the subject, and saved many a colored man from going back into bondage. He and his family lived for a time with his brother-in-law, William E. Richmond, and their house was always open to the anti-slavery people. A daughter writes: "Many a time I have seen a long table set in our dining room filled with only colored people, and my sister, Mrs. Peckham, and myself waiting on them. One or two winters, father gave anti-slavery lectures, I might say, several winters, and I well remember the first one, when I was a very young girl, given in a small hall by Abby Kelly Foster, and, on her return home with my mother there was quite a large mob followed them with rotten eggs. Charles Sumner, Wendell Phillips, and William Lloyd Garrison always staid at my uncle's, and we used to enjoy seeing them; and I could name many others." Married, Oct. 3, 1825, Anna Talbot, daughter of William and Hannah (Mason) Richmond, of Providence, where she was born in 1797. She died March 23, 1870, aged 73 years.
