Where was Chester Arthur born?

Question

What city, and state.

Answer 1

Fairfield, Vermont, in 1829

Answer 2

The official answer is Fairfield, Vermont.

However... Arthur was supposedly born in the town of Fairfield in Franklin County, Vermont (even no birth record has ever been found in the US) on October 5, 1829, although he sometimes claimed to be born in 1830 (even his grave inscription says the latter). His parents were William Arthur and Malvina Stone who were Irish immigrants who had initially migrated to Dunham, Québec -Canada where they bought a farm, located about 80 miles north of the Vermont, US border. There's still a lot of specualtion that he was born a British/Canadian subject and not an American. Arthur had never publicly admitted to either country of his birth. Political rivals long circulated the rumor that he had been born across the International Boundary in Canada there are certainly doubts as to his eligibility for the presidency under Article II of the U.S. Constitution. Arthur's cagee behaviour had never shown any credible proof of his origins and had never fully admitted to anything.
