BDMs

     John Fairbairn was born in 1693 Cockburnspath, BEW, SCT, NB several trees show John as born/baptized 1692, the page is clearly headed 1693.1,2,3 He was baptized on 1 Oct 1693 Cockburnspath, BEW; OPR page headed 1693, entry headed "Cock: Octbr 1st reads:
P: Geo: ffairbarne Christian Buickless
B: John lawll
W: Wm Robson Alxr Brotter.1
     John Fairbairn married Helen Grieve say 1722 ?Cockburnspath, BEW, SCT, the marriage not being immediately obvious on the OPR.4,5
IF they followed the naming pattern, and IF the John married to Helen is the son of George and Christian, there's likely to be an earlier son named George prior to 1724. Noted that there's a George to a George in Dunbar, 1722 - and a family of a George & Mary (Outerson) Fairbairn in Cockburnspath between 1750 and 1766, but also a George baptized 1723 Cockburnspath to James & Helen (Purves) Fairbairn.5
DNA results rcvd for Bill (F-53), descendant of John & Helen (Feb 2013) show that we appear to have found the original line of all the matching Borders FAIRBAIRNs in Haplogroup I1, the Cockburnspath FAIRBAIRNs.6
