- 6. Lieut. JOHN FAIRBANKS, of Wrentham, Mass.
(2) John II, Jonathan I.
Born in Dedham, Mass., the 7th of the 12 mo., 1643. Lived there till after 1677, when he removed to Wrentham. Died Sept. 14, 1706. Will dated Aug. 29, 1706; probated Oct. 1, 1706. The will mentions his wife Hannah, sons John, Joshua and Nathaniel, and daughters Hannah, Mary, Sarah and Deborah. See Suffolk Wills, Vol. 16, fol. 188.
He received by will of his father, a copy of which appears on page 35, all of his real estate, or rights, within the town of Wrentham, and some money.
He married, "1st of the 1 mo., 1671/1672," Hannah Whiting, daughter of Nathaniel and Hannah (Dwight) Whiting. She was born "the 17th of the 12 mo., 1651," and died June 14, 1740, aged 88 yrs., 5 mos., 27 ds.
[Note: it is erroneously stated in the Dedham Records, Vol. 1, p. 12. that he married Mary Whiting. Mary was Hannah's sister, born 12: 8 mo. 1658. See Hannah Whiting's will, Suffolk Probate Records, Lib. 18, Fol. 196.
American Marriage Records Before 1699
FAIRBANKS, John and Mary Whiting, 1 January 1672, Dedham, Mass. [could have been first wife of John, son of John, son of Jonathan; could have been a third wife to John, son of Jonathan, or perhaps Zaccheus, son of Richard had a son John? At any rate, John Fairbanks, son of Drury Fairbanks married Mary Whiting a century later]
The marriage date of 1st of the 1 mo is 1 March 1671/1672, not as stated in American Marriage Records before 1699. The date appertains to the Marriage of John and Hannah. So, discounting John son of John, grandson of Jonathan, one would have to follow the other leads, if indeed Mary married a John on the date indicated. Certainly Mary could have married in 1672]
