Terri, I posted this will for the info of anyone who might be able to connect to it- I don't know that my own Faires line does, even though they were from Mecklenburg, NC.My line starts with Joseph and Mary (last name unknown) Faires, whose son William, my ancestor, was born apparently in Mecklenburg, in 1789.William married Elizabeth Orr there and they migrated to TN and then to Madison Co., IL.William died there in 1855 and Elizabeth in 1863.The information current among William's grandchildren was that William's father (Joseph- whose name they apparently didn't know) was born in Ireland.
Because my Faires family maintained close ties for over 100 years with two families in Madison County who didn't live in their immediate neighborhood, and who I think both migrated from Washington Co., VA, I think that my Faires family was probably connected to the Faires family of Washington Co., VA.The two other families are the Cuddy and Duncan families.
