  WebHighlight	Where does Robert "fit"? By naming pattern of known/assumed children, his parents are possibly an Andrew and Elizabeth. By yDNA matches, firmly in the matching echelon of Scottish Borders I1 haplogroup Fairbairn, somewhere down from I1-Y7277 (but being refined with advanced testing) Interesting to note that: - from 1802-1805 Robert is recorded as being at Bettyfield (Smailholm). In an 1814 plan of the Smailholm churchyard there's a note of a Robert Fairbairn at Bettyfield, also a Robert Fairbairn, labourer, Smailholm. - the burial entry two away from Robert's in the Smailholm OPR is for a John Fairbairn residing East Third dying, and being buried, on the 30th of August * - the entry between them is for a John Crosbie residing Overown being buried 7th August * which burial meant a reluctance on my part to assign the John Fairbairn married to Jane Waddell as the son of Robert and Elizabeth (Crosbie) Fairbairn - at least until the DNA matches started accumulating between descendants of Robert. As this is autosomal DNA, there's still scope for re-interpretation however.

• Histories » Slide Show		yFull v6.04.16 Fairbairn Lineage 1 Aug 2018 Update for the Lineage 1 (Haplogroup I1) Fairbairns on the yFull.com tree v. 6.04.16 Three lines of DNA tested Fairbairns are represented here: YF13995 belongs to the line of Robert Fairbairn (marr. Crosbie) and sits up at the generic branch of the I1 tree assigned to all BigY tested Fairbairns to date - I-Y32666 YF14549 represents the Cockburnspath Fairbairn line, sitting at a new to yFull sub branch (I-A14330) of the above. The remaining cluster under I-A14330 at I-A14340 are from John Fairnairn marr. Flint around Melrose, Roxburghshire
  		yFull v7.05.00 Fairbairn/Elliot Lines This newer (Jun 2019) version of the yFull haplogroup tree inserts a branch between our I-Y32666 and its previous "parent" I-Y7277, and slightly refined the time estimate for the TMRCA of I-Y32666 from 600 years before present (ybp) to 550 ybp. NB present is defined as 1950. The generic branch of I-Y32666 that (so far) includes all of our Fairbairn testers, and their matches, now has 3 testers awaiting refining matches to form their particular sub branches.
  		yFull v7.09.00 Fairbairn/Elliot Lines This newer (Oct 2019), annotated version of the yFull haplogroup tree adds another result to the overall I-Y32666 generic branch that (so far) includes all of our Fairbairn testers, and their matches who have uploaded to yFull. There are now 4 testers awaiting refining matches to form their particular sub branches. It is expected that two will form a mew sub branch as FTDNA shows the Fairbairn (m. Redpath) descendant as matching the Fairbairn (m. Crosbie) descendant as sharing a separate lower SNP (I-FT144967)
