John (or David) is brother to the William who married Jean Wanless.
The main puzzle: how are Clarissa and her "cousin" husband Walter, related to the Hoquiam Fairbairn families (see Wanted! page).
Although we now (Mar 2009) know that John A of Hoquiam, does indeed look to be the son of John (marr. to Jane WILLIAMSON), it would still be great to hear from a fully documented descendant of any of John's other sons to make sure we have a good dna signature for his line.
The husband of Jane WILLIAMSON is sometimes shown in existing pedigrees as David, once even in the one family history. He seems more likley to have been John given that's what son John A's birth, marriage and death records all say.
