Nenthorn, then Smailholm (mar. 1748)

This line is included in many published genealogies, with many trees claiming a relationship. Several of these are documented, with commentary, on the "Found Pedigrees" page in the Guild of One Name Studies Fairbairn pages. As of 2013 we now beleve that unlike the majority of the DNA tested FAIRBAIRNs, who are in Haplogroup I1, two descendants of William the schoolmaster, Uncle of Sir William, are in Haplogroup R1b, along with a close match to a descendant of the Durham line of John & Margaret (CROMBY) FAIRBARNES
, and a more distant match (60/67) to the Melrose line of David and Peggy (MERCER) FAIRBAIRN.
Additional participants from other lines of John and Helen (ANDERSON) FAIRBAIRN would still be good to further validate these results.
Charts only show those I have researched, only descendants still with the surname FAIRBAIRN, and their spouses, and usually only deceased FAIRBAIRN family members. Exceptions include direct lines down to researchers included elsewhere on the site, or for DNA project participants who have agreed to be shown in the latter project. Should you wish to be included in your relevant chart, please contact the webmistress, using the link in the page footer.
So, in general, charts are by no means complete. Please refer further queries to the researcher(s) listed for the line.
Where there is doubt, conflicting evidence for relationships, or additional published information exists, this is usually discussed on the appropriate person's page, follow the link and make up your mind from the information and sources shown.
