Richard FAIRBANKS⁽¹⁵⁴⁾ was born about 1600. He has reference number E7.4. Richard Fairbanks relationship to Jonathan is problematic. Some place his as a brother to Jonathan, some as a cousin. He arrived in Boston, Massachusetts by 1633, probably with his wife Elizabeth. Entry says "Came with Cotton in the Griffin." This is possibly the source of the claim that Jonathan also came in the Griffin, a point adamantly denied by some who insist that there is no evidence that they came either on the Griffin or the Speedwell. For example, Stephen M. Lawson says: "There is no connection here between Richard and Jonathan, or George for that matter." His age would indicate he was either a contemporary of Jonathan, a sibling, or his eldest child. He would have to have married in England, and borne children there (more than one), unless the ch. referred to in Genealogical Dictionary of First Settlers of New England refers to his brothers and sisters, sons of Jonathan, being the first six children, at least. The same record, failing to establish his connection with Jonathan, also avers that he (Jonathan) is the progenitor of all the Fairbanks in the colonies, any other offspring of John having passed away before the death of Jonathan. However, Richard's connection with the family is clear: even today the Fairbanks Family in America claims the fame of the first official postal facility in the English colonies, which right is documented. (more below). Either Richard or his children came either on the Griffin or with the Griffin, as the record states: Came with Cotton in the Griffin. We know at the very least that Richard had a reunion with his children upon the arrival of the Griffin. Such was the occasion that Governor Brenton, Elder Leverett and Edward Hutchinson were on hand to greet them. Richard had daughter Constance baptised 10 Jan 1636, and Zaccheus 8 Dec 1639. The latter died young. He was a man of some distinction. Disarmed in 1637 for heretical perversity in the cause of the Wheelwright, but within two years after made by the same government the first receiver of all letters from abroad for the whole colony. The book of Famous First Facts by Joseph Nathan Kane (NY: H. W. Wilson, Co., 1950) lists the following under the heading "Post Office": "Post Office (colonial) for the collection of mail was established by order of the General Court of Massachusetts on November 5, 1639 in Boston at the home of Richard Fairbanks for 'all letters which are brought from beyond the seas, or are to be sent thither.' He was allowed a penny for the transmission of each letter, and was accountable to the authorities in charge of the colony." Lorenzo Sayles Fairbanks, in his book The Genealogy of the Fairbanks Family in America 1633-1897 lists (purportedly) Richard as brother of Jonathan, and places them on the same ship together in 1633.

RICHARD FAIRBANKS.

Richard Fairbanks (Fairebanke, Fairbanke) came to Boston in 1688, with his wife Elizabeth, probably in the "Griffin," the ship which brought Rev. John Cotton to the new world. At least, says Savage (formerly President of the Massachusetts Historical Society, and Editor of Winthrop's History of New England), his union with the church there was on the same day with that of Elder Leverett and wife, Governor Brenton and Edward Hutchinson, in the month after the great teacher's arrival. He was admitted to the first church in Boston, "in ye 8'th moneth, 1633," and "in ye 9'th moneth, Elizabeth Fairebancke."
It is believed that he was a brother of Jonathan, and probably came to Boston with him. He was made freeman "by ye generaIl courte" May 14, 1684, and was a man of some distinction, keeper of the village Inn.
He was prominently identified with the public affairs of the new settlement, and from 1635 to 1643 held many town offices. In 1687, in the "great allotments to the then inhabitants," he was allotted "three and twenty acres of land." He was a member of the Artillery Company (Ancient and Honorable). He was probably a man of independent spirit, with a spice of liberalism in his character, for like Jonas, of Lancaster, he tried conclusions with the Blue Laws, and in 1637 was disarmed, with many others, for holding and expressing "opinions" with regard to the creeds and dogmas of the church, which were declared by the clergy and the civil authorities to be "dangerous errors," threatening the safety and peace of the com-munity, in other words, heresies. He .and they were followers of Rev. John Wheelwright and Mrs. Anne Hutchinson, his half-sister, leader of the sect of Antinomians, in the memorable religious controversy of the times, which "set all Boston by the ears," and extended to the neighboring towns. Mr. Wheelwright was arraigned before the General Court, tried and found guilty of contempt and sedition. Afterwards, at "A Generall Court, held at Newtowne, the C2th day of the Oth m° a 1637," he was brought up for sentence, and then "justifying himself and his former practise," he was by the Court disfranchised and banished. Mrs. Hutchinson was "convented for traducelng the mirs and their ministery in this country and thereupon was banished." See the Records of the Governor and Company of -&rassachusetts Bay, 1628-1641, Vol. 1,~. 207.
tn the same volume, page 911, may be found the sentence imposed on Richard Fairbanks and others, as follows:
"1687, 2d Nov. Whereas the opinions and revelations of Mr. Wheelwright and Mrs. Hutchinson have seduced and led into dangerous errors many of the people heare in Newe England, insomuch as there is just cause of suspition that they, as others in Germany, in former times, may, vpon some revelation, make some suddaine irruption vpon those that differ from them in judgement, for pvention whereof it is ordered that all those whose names are underwritten shall (vpon warning given or left at their dwelling houses) before the 30th day of this month of November, deliver in at Mr. Canes house, at Boston, all such guns, pistols, swords, powder, shot and match as they shall bee owners of, or have in their custody, vpon paine of ten pound for evry default to bee made thereof, svch armes are to bee kept by M. Cane till this Court shall take further order therein. Also it is ordered, vpon like penalty of Xt, that no man who is to render his armes by this order shall buy or borrow any guns, swords, pistols, powder, shot or match, w~till this Court shall take further order therein."

The names underwritten numbered fifty-eight, and Richrd Fairbanke was among them.
Under like orders men were disarmed in Roxbury, Chariestown, Salem, Ipswich and Newberry, for "heretics"were numerous. But be it said, by far the greater part of the members of the Boston church were in sympathy with them.

Mrs. Ann Hutchinson was the wife of William Hutchinson, of whom an account says: "She was a woman of piety, ready talents and flow of speech. It was the custom for the church members to meet together once a week to repeat, review and debate the Sunday sermons, but by their doctrines the women were not allowed to take part in the discussions. Mrs. Ann thought that the sex might hold similar meetings with much usefulness, and she established one at her own house, and soon gained a numerous auditory, at least from 60 to 80 usually at-tending, and her house became the intellectual centre of the town. She took the lead in prayer and in repeating Mr. Cotton's sermons; after which she made observations and reflections on their tendencies, and gave as her reason for the practice that Paul enjoined upon the elder women to teach the younger. These meetings were not objected to until she began to make invidious comparisons between the ministers of the colony, a few of whom she classed as evangelical and under the covenant of grace, and all the rest were under the covenant of works." The career of Mrs. Hutchinson was full of excitement and I should judge s?;e was a terror; she was what would now be called a strong minded woman, always restless and feeling a call to do something to make a sensation.
Rev. John Wilson, was among the clergy whom she had assailed. By the action of this church she was excommunicated, and Mr. Wilson in passing sentence upon her, which he was appointed to deliver, embraced the opportunity to manifest his feelings toward her and her peculiar tenets. The sentence was as follows:

"Then Mr. Wilson rose, and in the hush of the crowded assembly solemnly put the question whether all were of one mind that their sister should be Cast out. There was utter silence; and after the custom of that church this be-tokened consent. Then the sentence of excommunication was pronounced, and Ann Hutchinson, no longer a sister, listened to these words rolled out in triumph from the mouth of John Wilson, the pastor. 'Therefore, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the name of the church, I do not only pronounce you worthy to be cast out, but I do cast you out; and in the name of Christ I do deliver you up to Satan, that you may learn no more to blaspheme, to seduce and to lie, and I do account you from this time forth to be a heathen and a publican, and so to be held of all the brethren and sisters of this congregation and others; therefore, I command you, in the name of Christ Jesus and of this church, as a leper, to withdraw yourself out of this congregation.'"

When, in obedience to this mandate, Ann Hutchinson, the outcast, moved through the awe-stricken throng, her devoted friend, Mary Dyer of Rhode Island the Quaker martyr who was hanged on Boston Common for witchcraft, June I, 1660, rose up and walked by her side, and the two walked out together. What a terrible close of a life-drama was this! Far away into the wilderness of those days marched the outcast with her family-- never more to be the associate, but the accused of Christian men and women, and the prey of savages. From Rhode Island to which she was banished, she removed to the Dutch settlements near New Haven, where in 1643 she with ail her family and household of sixteen persons, except one daughter of eight years, were killed by the Indians. The daughter was carried into captivity, but was afterwards recovered by the General Court and brought back to Massachusetts.

Richard Fairbanks does not seem to have lost favor with the people on account of his "perversity," for we find him not long afterward promoted to a responsible office. He was the first postmaster of Boston, or for the whole colony. In 1639 the inhabitants petitioned the councfi that a postmaster be appointed. The petition was granted and he was appointed in that year. The order reads:
"For preventing the miscarriage of letters, and it is ordered that notice be given to Richard Fairbanks, his house in Boston is the place appointed for all letters which are brought from beyond the seas, or are to be sent thither, are to be brought unto; and he is to take care that they be delivered or sent according to their directions; and he is allowed for every such letter a penny, and must answer all miscarriages through his own neglect in this kind, provided that no man shall be compelled to bring his letters thither except he please."
How long he held the office the records do not say, and nothing appears in relation to the subject till 1677, when the merchants of the city petitioned the council for a postmaster, and John Haywood was appointed.
He evidently enjoyed the confidence of his fellow townsmen in a high degree, but it seems that a."dangerous heresy" in religious matters was not the only thing for which he was called to account.

He disregarded an order agreed upon "Att a generaIl meeting," Nov. 30, 1635,--
"That none shall sell their houses or allotments to any new comers but with the consent and allowance of those that are appointed allotters," and he was fined for the offense according to the following record: --
"The 6th of the 4th moneth, June, 1636. Att a meeting this day before Thomas Ollyver, Thomas Leverett, Willyam Hutchinson, Willyam Coulborne, John Coggeshall, William Aspenall, Richard Tuttell, John Stampford and James Penne.
"Item. Wee finde that Richard Fairebanke hath sold unto twoe straingers the towe houses in Sudbury end that were William Balstones, contrary to a former order, and therefore the sayle to be voyd, and the said Richard Fairebancke to forfeite for his breaking thereof XIs."
A man in those days had to be one "of our set" in order to become a freeholder, for at the same "generall meeting" above men-tioned, was this "item" in the proceedings: --

"imprimis. It is agreed that noe further allotments shall be granted unto any new comers but such as may be likely to be received as members of the Congregation."

There was another item which may be interesting to tradesmen, laborers and labor unions of the present day :--

,, Item." (It is agreed) "That Mr. William Hutchinson, Mr. William Colborne, and Mr. William Brenton shall set pryces upon all cattell commodities, victualIs and laborers and Workmen's Wages, and that noe other prises or rates shall be given or taken."

And another that must have been rather discouraging to lawyers :--"Item. That none of the members of this congregation or inhabitants among us shall sue one another at lawe before that Mr. Henry Vane and the twoe elders, Mr. Thomas Ollyver and Thomas Leverett, have had the hearing and desyding of the cause if they cann."

The Book of Possessions in 1645 shows that at that time he owned, "within the limits of Boston," several tracts of land, as follows:
1. One house and garden bounded with Capt. Keayne on the north and on the east; Mr. Oliver on the south, and the high streete (probably High street
which once led from Summer street to the top of Fort Hill), on the west.

2. Five acres in the "Fort Field."

3. A garden bounded with William Aspinwall on the south and on the east; Zaceheus Bosworth, John Snydefiaut, Richard Cook, John Lugg and Arthur Perry on the north, and the Common on the west. This lot was in the neighbor-hood of Bromfield street, one of the boundaries indicating the origin of the name of Bosworth street.

4. Also four acres in the "New Fields," bounded by lands of other persons named and by "the river east." The "New Fields" embraced the locality of the present Allen, Bulfinch, Lynde, Staniford and Chambers streets and extended to the "river."

In 1652 he purchased of Robert Turner six acres more adjoining the Fort Field lot. Several deeds of houses and lands, bought and sold by him in 1652 and 1654, are recorded in Vols. 1 and 2 of the Suffolk Registry of Deeds. And Jan. 29, 1654 he signed with others a marriage contract. Lib 1, Fol. 105.

His place of business and his dwelling house occupied, it is said, the present site of the Advertiser and the Globe Buildings on Wash-ington street.
It is probable that he left no descendants in the male line. He
had, so far as appears upon the records, two children only :--
1. Constance, baptized Jan. 10, 1636; married March 30, 1653, Samuel Mattock.
2. Zaccheus, baptized Dec. 8, 1639; died Nov. 10, 1653.

The exact date of the death of Richard Fairbanks cannot be ascertained. The statistics of deaths in Boston between 1630 and 1810 are very deficient. The deaths numbered during that period about 60,000, and only about 4700 of them are found registered in existing books, and his name does not appear. But he died before Apr. 15, 1667. See Deed of James Penn et al to Theodor Atkinson, Suffolk Deeds, Lib. V, Fol. 190 That deed was a conveyance of several lots of land, among them a lot "neere ffort hill centeyning suen Ackers and semen Rods or thereabouts as they (the grantors) heretofore purchast it from the late Richard flairbanks, several years since." The deed was dated Apr. 15, 1667.
If he sold all his real estate before his death his deeds were not all recorded, and there is no record of any will left by him, nor of any administration on his estate. Perhaps a considerable share of it was inherited by his daughter Constance Mattock, for the Mattocks were for many years among the wealthy people of Boston.
