Elizabeth Jane Fair was born in Charleston, SC to Richard Fair and Elizabeth Harrison (dau/o John & Ann Harrison of Cavan Co., Ireland). After arriving in Charleston, Ann was widowed with 2 sons and 1 dau. She placed all three in the Charleston Orphanage. Ann remarried a Robert Galbreath who indentured the two boys to his carpentry occupation. Ann indentured her dau to her household.

Eliz. married Richard Fair c1804 and purchased a house at 170 King St. in downtown Charleston. He was a Boot and Shoemaker. The address was changed to 337-339 King St. Richard died in 1817 leaving Eliz. a widow with 7 children. She remarried at the end of 1818 to the Tutor, Joseph DeWitt Nicks and had 3 more children. Two daughter (Martha and Sara) survived and also lived in FL.

I wrote a story on all the Fair children and their spouses for the Tallahassee, Leon Co. Heritage book connecting them to the so called "...Lost Cousins" that a Greene descendant published c1989 and the two books that Charles Fair (gr. son/o Joseph Harrison Fair) wrote in the 1950s. His books lost the real parents and the two half-sisters by Nicks + my ancestor, Frances Fair who mar. James Rinaldo Nicks in Nov. 1831 in Charleston. That's where Rinaldo originated. Jas. R. Nicks was the first one to arrive in Thomasville, GA and in 1833 in the Lake Iamonia land that all came to. If any and all ae interested, I can give you the locations of Eliz. and Richard VB in downtown Charleston. Charles
