Notes
Jonathan built the house in
Dedham, near Boston, in 1636, which is said to be the oldest inhabited
dwelling-house in the United States. It now belongs to the Fairbanks
Family
Association, of which Vice-President Fairbanks, Prof. Henry Fairbanks,
Ph. D.,
son of the inventor of the scales, the Marchioness of Donegal and
others are
distinguished members.
Jonathan Fairebanke came from Sowerby in the West Riding of Yorkshire,
England,
to Boston, Mass., where he built the noted "Old Fairbanks House" which
is still
standing as an ancient landmark, the oldest dwelling house in New
England that,
for the same period of time, has been continuously owned and occupied
by the
builder and his linear descendants. Only a few houses, or parts of
houses, of
the same [?] remain, and most of these are in ruins. It is, moreover,
a
remarkable fact, perhaps unparalleled in this country, that during all
this
time, two and a half centuries, the estate has never had a mortgage
incumbrance
[sic] upon it.
This house is now historically famous, and is an object of great
interest to
many visitors to the old town of Dedham. On the 20th of June, 1895, a
new Court
House was dedicated in that town and Hon. Frederick D. Ely delivered
an
historical address on the occasion. Speaking of old landmarks he
referred to
the old house in the following words:
"In a neighboring street stands a dwelling house, erected early in the
last half
of the seventeenth century. It is warped and worn by the sunshine and
the
storms of its nearly 250 years. Winter and summer, frost and heat
have done
much to undermine its symmetry, and its leaning walls and sloping
floors are
only held in place by its frame on massive oak. Yet hundreds, I may
safely say
thousands of men and women come from far and near to view and examine
the old
Fairbanks house in every minutest particular, while they scarcely
accord a
passing glance to the magnificent and costly modern mansion on the
opposite side
of the street."
It has been claimed the house was built in 1636. This claim has been
the
subject of considerable discussion among historians. and is disputed
on
historical grounds. One, at least, expresses the belief that it was
not built
till about the year 1654. The chief reason assigned for his belief is
that the
old house is a framed building of massive oak timber, and that there
is no
historical evidence that any framed dwelling houses were erected in
the town as
early as 1636. Against this alleged fact is the tradition that the
frame of the
main part of the house, together with the bricks and tiles and
windows, was
imported from England, and remained in Boston for several months
before it was
carried to Dedham.
The truth is that the house was not built as it stands at one time, or
in one
year; and it is certain that Jonathan owned a house situated probably
on the
same lot in 1648. In the valuation of houses, made in that year for
the purpose
of assessing the "country rate," there were enumerated eighty-one
houses,
ranging in value from œ45, the highest, to œ2, the lowest, omitting
fractions.
The valuation of Jonathan Fairbanke's house was œ28, and only eight
houses were
estimated higher. The highest valuation, œ45, was placed upon the
house of Rev.
John Allin, pastor of the church.
Subsequently, perhaps as late as 1654, a large addition was made to
the original
building, which was called the new house, which is said to have been
built for
the occupation of his son John after his marriage. In the Inventory
of
Jonathan's personal estate taken after his death in 1668, some things
are
mentioned as contained in certain "rooms of the new house." From
these facts
and circumstances, particularly the fact that he owned a lot of land
prior to
May 1637, it is not unreasonable to conclude that he built a house in
1636, or
soon after, which is a part of the present building, or in a short
time was
replaced by a framed structure to which the addition was made some
years later.
The town of Dedham was established and named by the General Court the
"10th of
ye 7 Moneth, 1636," upon a petition signed by twenty-two persons, in
connection
with a grant of land in addition to a "grante formerly made of a
Plantacion
above the Falls," with "Immunitie from publike Charges" for three
years.
Thereupon the "Dedham Covenant" was drawn up and signed by the
petitioners and
others.
The covenant was in the nature of a mutual compact concerning the
future
management of the affairs of the town. It was signed by one hundred
and
twenty-five persons, and among them were Jonathan Fayerbanke, John
Fayerbanke,
George Fayerbanke and Jonathan Fayerbank, Jun. Not all of this
number,
however,subscribed in 1636, but some of them from time to time as they
were
admitted townsmen.
