"Jonathan Fayrbank and Grace Smith (Warley) were married
May 20, 1617, at Halifax, Yorkshire, England. At the time of his
marriage he was probably about twenty-two years of age, hence
born in or about 1595. His ancestry has long been sought."
[Note that some sources are skeptical of the exact solution presented by
Torrey. All discussions seem to agree on this Halifax line in general, but
differ in details. Sadly, I have found no single, comprehensive criticism.]
