Wynn Cowan Fairfield published the Descendants of John Fairfield of Wenham in 1953.* His research covered five generations of descendants of John Fairfield (c.1610-1646) and his wife, Elizabeth, of Wenham, Mass. This site builds on his research, providing an evolving database of descendants (now into the 13th generation) as well as documents, photos, links to related sites, source citations, and notes.

DNA Project
6 results are in!
Through this project, we aim to determine relationship on a physical level, not just by family folklore or tradition, through a 12-marker Y chromosome test. ONLY male descendants of males (thus with surname Fairfield) may participate by purchasing mouth-swab kits (no needles!) and submitting the test for inclusion in our Fairfield surname project. Please visit their Web site to learn more about the project. Use the link below to go directly to the Fairfield surname project page.

Descendants of David (1829-1897) and Ann (Tate) Fairfield may be interested in my book, The Man Behind the Plow: Robert N. Tate, Early Partner of John Deere. Robert Tate was Ann (Tate) Fairfield's father. He wrote volumes of interesting diaries in the 19th century that include numerous references to David and family.
