The three sons mentioned, but not named, in the probate entry in 1705, were apparently Samuel, Edward, and Jonathan, for in 1721 Jonathan Fairchild of Norwalk sold land in Stratford inherited from his father Samuel dec'd. Jonathan was ancestor of the Norwalk branch; his will, 2 June 1769, proved 15 Dec. 1772, named wife, sons Thomas and Abraham, heirs of son Daniel dec'd, son Samuel, and daus. Sarah and Ellen."
