Jonas FAIRBANKS⁽⁶⁸⁴⁴⁾ was born in May 1624 in Sowerby, Parish of Halifax, Yorkshire, England. He died on 10 Feb 1676 in Lancaster, Worcester, Massachusetts. Killed by Indians with son Joshua He has reference number 4. Lived Old House
Born in England; came to Dedham with his parents; removed to Lancaster in 1657; signed the covenant March 7, 1659, and was "one of the fathers of the town". He was a farmer, and, it is believed, also a carpenter.

In 1652 he was fined for wearing great boots before he was worth LB200, which was contrary to the sumptuary regulation of the government of Massachusetts ordered in 1651. He was killed, with his son Joshua, by Indians Feb. 10, 1676, during a raid upon the settlement.

Jonas, the third son of Jonathan, removed to Lancaster in 1657, and became the progenitor of numerous families scattered through the New England and Western States. He signed the Covenant Mar. 7, 1659. In his family there was good ancestral stock on both sides of the house. He was a strong man, both in his mental and his physical personality. It may be presumed that he had received as fair an education and training as were afforded in the new settlement of Dedham where, as we know, the school and the church went hand in hand with the founding of homes, while his earlier education was no doubt begun in England. In short, he was qualified to be what he was called~ '"One of the fathers of the town." His wife was a daughter of John Prescott, who, as the historian declares, "was a rare type of man, the ideal pioneer." "Not one," he says, "of the famous frontiersmen, whose figures stand out so prominently in early American history, was better equipped with the many qualities that win hero worship in a new country than was (he) the father of the Nashaway Plantation." The story of his life is indeed interesting, but only this bare glimpse of his character can be given here.
The children of Jonas appear to have been well educated for the times. Jabez, his only son who left any male descendants, shines in history. His military despatches preserved in the records show him to have been a man of marked intellectual ability, and he was certainly a hero of great physical stamina and bravery. His children and their descendants contributed largely to the population of Lancaster and the neighboring towns, especially Sterling and Harvard, originally parts of Lancaster. The name did honor to the towns in those days. The marriages were generally with the foremost families.
Living representatives of this sturdy stock are among the best men and women of the country. They possess in an eminent degree the qualifications due to their ancient inheritance and fortunate successions in after generations. Among them are many fine illustrations of the solid truth that "blood will tell," and their blood is not thin enough to be very "blue." Many of the men are athletes of splendid proportions, and manly vigor and intellectual force are common qualities. They are engaged in aJJ the respectable occupations of life; are well represented in the learned professions, while in the arena of business there are conspicuous examples of successful and honorable careers. Some of them are prominent and active workers in missionary fields abroad, as will be seen by their records hereafter presented. From the earliest times they have been noted for their interest in education, and in the present generations they are in this respect keeping pace with the progress of the age.
Jonas was killed, with his son Joshua, by the Indians in the desperate assault made upon the settlement by King Philip, with fifteen hundred warriors, on the morning of the tenth day of February 1675-6, in which from fifty to fifty five persons, out of about the same number of families, were massacred and twenty or more were carried into captivity. His son Jonathan and one of his children were victims of the massacre of Sept. 22, 1697. Thus, except for the escape of Jabez in the first Indian raid, this branch of the family, in the male lines, would have been exterminated. Jabez lived to rear a large family, and by heroic bravery to avenge the atrocities by which not only his own family, but more than fifty others suffered in those dark days.

He died on 5 Dec 1668 in Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts. He has reference number 1. He has reference number E7.1. He was born in England, before the year 1600. He came to Boston with his family in 1633, and remained there about three years, when he settled in Dedham, being one of the earliest pioneers. He, with others, signed the Covenant when the town was established and named.

HISTORY OF THE IMMIGRANT FAMILY.

Jonathan Fairebanke (Fairbank, Fairbanks) came from Sowerby in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England, to Boston, Mass., in the year 1683, and in 1636 settled in Dedham, Mass., where he built the noted "Old Fairbanks House" which is still standing as an ancient landmark, the oldest dwelling house in New England that, for the same period of time, has been continuously owned and occupied by the builder and his lineal descendants. Only a few houses, or parts of houses of the same age remain, and most of these are in ruins. It is, moreover, a remarkable fact, perhaps unparalleled in this country, that during all this time, two and a half centuries, the estate has never had a mortgage incumbrance upon it.
This house is now historically famous, and is an object of great interest to many visitors to the old town of Dedham. On the 20th of June 1895, a new Court House was dedicated in that town and Hon. Frederick D. Ely delivered an historical address on the occasion. Speaking of old landmarks he referred to the old house in the following words:
"In a neighboring street stands a dwelling house, erected early in the last half of the seventeenth century. It is warped and worn by the sunshine and the storms of its nearly 250 years. Winter and summer, frost and heat have done much to undermine its symmetry, and its leaning walls and sloping floors are only held in place by its frame of massive oak. Yet hundreds, I may safely say thousands, of men and women come from far and near to view and examine the old Fairbanks house in every minutest particular, while they scarcely accord a passing glance to the magnificent and costly modern mansion on the opposite side of the street."
It has been claimed that this house was built in 1636. This claim has been the subject of considerable discussion among historians, and is disputed on historical grounds. One, at least, expresses the belief that it was not built till about the year 1654. The chief reason assigned for his belief is that the old house is a framed building of massive oak timber, and that there is no historical evidence that any framed dwelling houses were erected in the town as early as 1636. Against this alleged fact is the tradition that the frame of the main part of the house, together with the bricks and tiles and windows, was imported from England, and remained in Boston for several months before it was carried to Dedham.
The truth is that the house was not built as it stands at one time, or in one year; and it is certain that Jonathan owned a house situated probably on the same lot in 1648. In the valuation of houses, made in that year for the purpose of assessing the "country rate," there were enumerated eighty-one houses, ranging in value from £45, the highest, to £2, the lowest, omitting fractions. The valuation of Jonathan Fairbanke's house was £28, and only eight houses were estimated higher. The highest valuation, £45, was placed upon the house of Rev. John Allin, pastor of the church.
Subsequently, perhaps as late as 1654, a large addition was made to the original building, which was called the new house, which is said to have been built for the occupation of his son John after his marriage. In the Inventory of Jonathan's personal estate taken after his death in 1668, some things are mentioned as contained in certain "rooms in the new house." From these facts and circumstances, particularly the fact that he owned a lot of land prior to May 1637, it is not unreasonable to conclude that he built a house in 1686, or soon after, which is a part of the present building, or in a short time was replaced by a framed structure to which the addition was made some years later.
He had a family consisting of his wife and six children, four sons and two daughters, namely, John, George, Mary, Susan, Jonas and Jonathan, who were all born in England. Of the ages of his children when he arrived here we can judge only by circumstances. The dates of their births, except one, have not been ascertained. Mary was born, according to a descendant of the Metcalf family, Apr. 18, 1622. If she was the third child, we may judge approximately of the ages of the rest; but the places of the daughters, as given in the table, may not be correct. In 1638 John was appointed, with John Rogers, to survey the Charles River, and he was married in 1641. George was married in 1646; Jonas in 1658; and Jonathan, the youngest son, about 1653.
The town of Dedham was established and named by the General Court the "10th of ye 7 Moneth, 1636," upon a petition signed by twenty-two persons, in connection with a grant of land in addition to a "grante formerly made of a Plantacion above the Falls," with "Immunitie from publike Charges" for three years. Thereupon the "Dedham Covenant" was drawn up and signed by the petitioners and others.

The covenant was in the nature of a mutual compact concerning the future management of the affairs of the town. It was signed by one hundred and twenty-five persons, and among them were Jonathan Fayerbanke, John Fayerbanke, George Fayerbanke and Jonathan Fayerbank, Jun. Not all of this number, however, subscribed in 1636, but some of them from time to time as they were admitted townsmen.

The following record is found in the "Towne Booke":
,, Dedham. The 23th of ye first Month called March 1687. The First Assembly in Dedham, by whose names are underwritten, vizt, Edward Alleyn, Abraham Shawe, Samuel Morse, Philemon Dalton, Joseph Shawe, Ezechiell Holliman, Lambert Genere, Nicholas Phillips, Raffe Shepheard, John Gay, Francis Austin, Willm Berstowe, John Rogers, Danfell Morse, John Huggens.
Jonathan Fearbanke being p'sented by John Dwite was accepted and subscribed."
John was admitted townsman and signed the covenant as early as 1642; George about 1651, and Jonathan in 1654.
It would appear that the lands were originally granted to individuals in twelve and eight-acre lots, for among the earliest town proceedings it was
"Ordered that euery Twelve Acre Lott shall haue route acres of swampe granted in the first grante there vnto besids what may be granted in any deuident of swampe that may afterward be layed out. And that also; in like manner euery Eight Acre Lott shall haue the like grante of three acres of swampe layed out as due there vnto."

It was also
"Ordered that euery man that hath an whole Lott shall haue so many Acres of Meadowe as he hath vpland in his first grante for an house Lott. where of part of such pcells of Meadowe as lyeth adioyneing to his said Lott shall be granted to him in pt and the remainder shall be made vp else where."
Before 1687, Jonathan Fairbanke had been granted at least a twelve-acre lot with four acres of swamp land, for in that year he received as his proportion of a further allotment four acres of "Swampe" land. The additional grant was made because "vpon a good viewe taken of ye Swampes next ye Towne they are fownd to be soe gteate yt ye formr pportion allotted to men will not be neere sufficient to cleere them." But it was provided that a fourth part of such extra land, if accepted, should be cleared every year, and "whosoever shallbe found defective shall for eury defaulte" forfeit and pay for the benefit of the town the price "of an Ewe kid of Eight weeks old."
In 1688, the 30thof the 3a month, he was appointed, with several others, "to measure out those pclls of Medowe wch adioyne to mens Lotts. And to measure out soe much medowe in seurall pcells as is allotted vnto eury man according to their graunts made vnto them."
The c28th of ye 5th month, 1688, it was "ordered yt those wch Inhabit on ye East side of the litle River shall haue for yr Medowe next beneth ye greate pond," each a certain number of acres. Under this order Jonathan Farebancke received six acres, five rods. "But by Reason of some Interruption arising by challenge made of the same medowe to belonge vnto some of the Farmes &c.," there was given to him in 1642, in place thereof, "Sixe acres in ye medowe neere vnto the South side of Ballpate hill."

Assembly, Sept. 15, 1041.
Granted vnto John Dwight Francis Chickeringe Eliazer Lusher Jonathan Fairbanke Michael Powell Peter Woodward Michaell Metcalfe & John Frary that percell of the Low playne (nere Mr. Stoughtons farme) that belongs to this Towne to be deuided amongst themselves as they or a major part of them shall agree to be layd out by themselves or by whome soeuer they shall apoynt or imploy therein;
The 15th of ye ~/th month 1641
DEDHAM GRANTITH to
Jonathan Fairbanke and to his heyres or assignes for euer; One acre more or lesse as it lyeth on ye Low playne; abutting vpon Michael Powell toward the North east & vpon John firamy toward the South west; & vpon the waest towards the Norwest and vpon ye highway from Dedham to Dorchester mill the South east.
MICHAEL POWELL, clrt;

In 1649., there was granted to him "2 acres 2 roodes of vpland ground fit for improuement with the plough."
The 17th Of the 3a month, 1644, a grant was made to him of two acres of land "upon the North end of the wigwam playne."
"The 4 of ye 19 month 1644," he received a grant of two and onehalf acres of woodlands.
In 1656, he was alloted his proportion of "Comon town rights," six and three-fourths acres.
The following unique record appears on the books of the First Church:
"Jonathan Fairebanke notwthstanding he had long stood off fro' ye church upon some scruples about publike p'fession of faith & ye covenant yet after divers loving conferences wth him; he made such a declaration of his faith & conv'sion to god & p'fession of subjection to ye ordinances of Xt in this X yt he was readily & gladly received by ye whole church: 14d 6m 1646."
By his will, executed June 4, 1668, the year of his death, he bequeathed his "whole mouable Estate whatsouer, as well within dores as without," to his wife, Grace. Small bequests were then made to
bis "second sonne," George, to his "daughter Mary, wife of
Christopher Smith," to Jonas, to Jonathan, to Sarah, eldest daughter
of his "sonne John," and to Ralph Daye, his "sonne in lawe," (hus-
band of Susan), and to "each of the foure Children of the said
Ralph." Finally he bequeathed to John, his eldest son, all his
"houses & lands whatsoeur, not being foremerly aboue (mentioned ? )
together with all my common Rightes & towne pmiliges whatsouer,
to haue posses & injoy the same ( .... ) & his heyers ( .... ) to enter
vpon all my lands forthwith after my decease; and all my houses and yardes at the end of foure mo'nthes next following the same." And he made him sole Executor of the will.
The father, it would seem, had a good opinion of the English law of primogeniture, and so John, his eldest son, came into possession of the homestead. From that time down to July, 1892, the old house was continuously occupied by him and his descendants, Joseph, Joseph 2d, Ebenezer, Ebenezer 2d, Prudence, Sarah (Sally), Nancy, and Rebecca, the last of the family tenants. In July, 1892, the house was struck by lightning and considerably damaged. Miss Rebecca's pet dog, lying under the bed where she was sleeping, was killed, but she escaped with a severe shock. Shortly after this event, deeming the house no longer a desirable place of abode, she abandoned it, leaving a strange family in charge, and removed to Boston. Thus for the first time in over two hundred and fifty years the old house was occupied by persons not "to the manor born." But after spending several months in Boston she returned to dwell in the time-honored mansion, of which she was then the sole owner, and is still living there (Fall of 1896).

Parents: John FAIRBANKS and Isabel STANCLIFFE.

He was married to Grace LEE SMITH on 20 May 1617 in Parish of Halifax, Yorkshire, England. Children were: John FAIRBANKS, George FAIRBANKS Captain, Mary FAIRBANKS, Jonas FAIRBANKS, Susan FAIRBANKS, Jonathan FAIRBANKS, Sarah FAIRBANKS, Martha FAIRBANKS, James FAIRBANKS.

Jonathan FAIRBANKS⁽⁶⁸⁵⁶⁾ was born about 1628 in Sowerby, Parish of Halifax, Yorkshire, England.⁽⁴⁸⁹¹⁾ He died on 28 Jan 1711 in Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts. He has reference number 5. Lived Old House
Born in England; admitted townsman in Dedham "ye 1 of ye 11: 1654" and signed the covenant. Resided in Dedham. He died Jan 28, 1711-12.

He was a soldier in King Philip's War, serving in the first, or Mt.Hope campaign in 1675, also in several subsequent campaigns. His name appears in the list of "Assignment of Wages" to the town of Roxbury, Aug. 26, which leads to the supposition that at the time he resided there, for it was the custom of the time for soldiers to assign their wages to the towns in which they resided in order that their families could be provided for. (See "Soldiers in King Philip's War" by George M. Bodge.)

Jonathan, the youngest son of Jonathan, senior, remained in Dedham, and some of his descendants have always resided there and in the neighboring towns, though many of them removed in early times to other States, particularly Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Vermont, where, as well as in New York and the Western States, a considerable number of families are now living.
He was a man of vigorous constitution, of good executive ability, and a highly respected citizen. He lived to be nearly eighty years of age; and his wife died only six years earlier. His descendants, wherever found, bear the stamp of their rich inheritance of sterling qualities of character, and among them there have been many remarkable instances of longevity.

No records of the births of Abigail, Elizabeth, or the second Jonathan have been found, and the order of their births, as above given, may not be correct. Their father's will was dated Dec. 8, 1708, and was probated Feb. 14, 1711-12. ttis children mentioned in it were Edward, his "eldest son," Jeremiah, Samuel, Jonathan, Deborah, Abigail, Elizabeth, Rachel and Mary. His "son-in4aw," Samuel Whiting, and his grandson, David Thurston, were also men-tioned. Administration was committed to his son Jonathan and his son-in-law, Samuel Whiting. See Suffolk Probate Records, Vol. I7, .fol. 389.
Jonathan being, as assumed here, most likely the youngest son, and named after one who had died, and through whom his father no doubt desired to per-petuate the name, received a large share of the latter's estate, viz., "my house and barn, and my land near home and thirteen acres of land lying at the six-mile tree joining to twenty acres of land which I formerly gave him, and a right to take up three or four acres which remain to be laid out of the same. Dividends in full of all due to him from my estate." Parents: Jonathan FAIRBANKS and Grace LEE SMITH.
