Family
His sons became presidents of various educational institutions. James was president of Oberlin for a quarter of a century. Henry was president of Berea College at Berea, Kentucky. George was president of Kansas State University. Grandison Fairchild, a devout Christian, once jokingly expressed regret that all of his sons had not become full-time ministers. "They all petered out as college presidents," he is reported to have said.[1]
Grandison and his family settled in the wilderness in Ohio about 1818.[2][3]
He was born in Sheffield, Massachusetts and died in Brownhelm, Ohio.
