Transcript
99. JAMES FAIRBANKS, of Wrentham, Mass. (42), Joseph V, Joshua IV, John III, John II, Jonathan I. Born in Wrentham, Mar. 7, 1756; resided there; was a farmer; died Dec. 16, 1836. He was a Revolutionary Soldier, enlisting as a private, Jan. 29, 1776, in Capt. Sam'l Cowell's Co. of Col. Lemuel Robinson's Reg't. Reenlisted in Apr. 1777, as a Corporal, and was soon promoted to be a Sergeant. See Mass. War Rolls. Married I, Nov. 16, 1780, Betsey Blake, who died Oct. 31, 1798; married II, Nov 17, 1799, Susanna Farrington, who was born Dec. 12, 1767, and died Nov. 30, 1800; married III, July 9, 1802, Alice Blackington, who was born May 8, 1775, and died Aug. 18, 1855.


Apparently, Joseph and Ithamar Fairbank named two sons James:

One is recorded as [FAIRBANK], "James, s. of Joseph and Ithermer, Aug. 16, 1753", page 70 of the Wrentham Vital Records.
The second one is [FAIRBANKS], "James, s. of Lieut. Joseph and Ithermer, Mar. 7, 1756", page 71 of the Wrentham Vital Records.


Both deaths were recorded on page 436 of the Wrentham Vital Records:


[FAIRBANK], "James, s. of Joseph and Ithemar, Jan. 6, 1754."
and
[FAIRBANK], "James, Dec. 16, 1836, in his 83rd y. G.R. 2."


There is no indication where this first son was buried; since both his parents and his brother James are buried in the Gerould Cem., it's possible that he is as well.
