FounderJonathan Fairbanks

The Fairbanks (Fairbank) family is a noted American and Canadian family of English origin. The family descends from colonist Jonathan Fairbanks, who emigrated to Boston, Massachusetts in 1633 with his family, settling at Dedham, Massachusetts three years later.[1] There he built the Fairbanks House, today the oldest surviving verified timber-frame house in the United States.

The following genealogical tree illustrates the links between the more notable family members:[1]
