Fairchild’s Creek is an easy walk east of my home. It’s named after one of the first white settlers in the area, who ran a trading post on the land given to the Six Nations after the American Revolutionary War in 1784. The land on the north west side of Fairchild’s Creek was settle by a man named Anthony Westbrook and his family in 1788. Westbrook was a member of Joseph Brant’s War Party, Brant’s Volunteers.
