Biography
Samuel Fairchild, son of Alexander Fairchild (abt.1680-1727) and Deborah (Jackson) Fairchild (1678-1753) was born in Stratford, Fairfield, Connecticut, probably 1719-1721.[1]
Samuel married Hannah Winchell and they had 11 children.[2]
Research Note
According to Early Fairchilds in North America and their Descendants, Samuel is the son of Alexander Fairchild (abt.1680-1727) and Deborah (Jackson) Fairchild (1678-1753) , but has erroneously been given as the son of Caleb Fairchild (1693-bef.1777) and Anne (Sherwood) Fairchild (1691-1777). The author states "Not until Donald Lines Jacobus did Fairchild research on the Fairfield county land records, was it known that Samuel and Abraham were sons of Alexander. Several authors have erroneously given Samuel as a son of Caleb, who was brother of Zechariah...who also went to New Jersey. Fairfield county, Ct. deeds prove these two men are sons of Alexander."

Page 237 states that Anne Sherwood first married Joseph Trowbridge and after his death married Caleb Fairchild, not that she married Samuel Fairchild (4192). The only wife given for Samuel Fairchild is Hannah Winchell (page 237). The book lists Samuel as a child of Caleb and Anne, but there is no birth date or supporting evidence. Mr. Plume's research preceded the research done by Jean Fairchild Gilmore. Her work, with supporting evidence, (see Research Note on profile Samuel Fairchild (abt.1721-1777) ), indicates that Samuel has erroneously been given as the son of Caleb and Anne Fairchild and that he is instead the son of Alexander and Deborah (Jackson) Fairchild.
