Person talk:Susanna Unknown (373)


Was she Thomas Fairchild's second wife? [21 May 2012]

A Susanna Fairchild was admitted to communion in Woodbury 26 Nov 1685 (TAG 9:22), after the baptisms of all of Thomas Fairchild's children, and several years after Thomas himself was admitted to communion on 4 Mar 1678/79 (TAG 9:20). This, together with the fact that she married men who were born approx 20 years apart (Thomas in 1646 and Samuel Castle in about 1668) suggest that she might have been Thomas Fairchild's second wife, and possibly as much as 15-20 years younger than him. I know of no evidence that will prove this one way or the other, but it is a thought for future consideration and research. --DataAnalyst 13:50, 21 May 2012 (EDT)
