Research notes
Possible baptism for Isabel
- It is currently looking unlikely that the Isabel whose age at death places her as born about 1767 is the baptism on 17 Jun 1764 daughter of an Archibald Fairbairn & Mary Dickson, in Kelso, Roxburghshire, Scotland.
- To date (Dec 2023) DNA matches from descendants of James Oliver & Isabel Fairbairn are to descendants of her currently shown assumed brothers, Archibald and William. See research notes for the respective Archibalds fathers.
- So EITHER Isabel married to James Oliver is the daughter of a different Archibald Fairbairn (abt.1730-), the one married to Marion Dickson OR she isn't the sister of Archibald Fairbairn (abt.1760-aft.1800) and William Fairbairn (abt.1763-1809).
Mary Oliver
- is assumed to be a child of James Oliver and Isabel Fairbairn because of dates and place (Kyloe), and MAY explain a growing collection of otherwise unexplained DNA matches to assorted descendants of Fairbairn families from Roxburghshire and Berwickshire.
- Records seem a tad sparse in the area.Henderson-2297
