note
Of Norwalk. Her father-in-law Richard Raymond called him "well beloved brother" in 1677, and he was an administrator of her husband's estate in 1695.

Wife of John Raymond of Norwalk, Connecticut, whom she married on 10 December 1664, and mother of Samuel Raymond. "He m., Dec. 10, 1664, Mary, dau. of Thomas Betts of Norwalk" (source). Her father-in-law Richard Raymond, removed to Saybrook, gave "all his lands in Norwalk 'unto those children which my son John Raymond allready have or may have, by Mary Raymond his present wife,'" and in 1677 empowered his "well beloved brother Thomas Betts, of Norwalk," to record his land divisions there (source).

Her husband died on Christmas Day 1694, and letters of administration went to her father Thomas Betts and her son John; she died at Norwalk in 1695 (source). Her children, as the inventory of January 1695 gives them: John, 31; Samuel, about 22; Thomas, about 19; Hannah, "17 next August"; and Daniel, "14 next August."

The family's descent from her rests on the identification of Jonathan Fairchild of East Jewett with Jonathan, born at Norwalk in 1744, which is only possible (see Jonathan Fairchild).

Research: Notable connections of Frances Fairchild Holbrook: the Fairchild branch and the families that married in.
