The following is from a history that Silas' grandaughter, Betsey Farr Ingraham, wrote in 1863 about the history of Tully, New York:
He (grandfather Farr) had a cane that was passed on to his oldest surviving son, Warren. the tradition is that the cane was brought from England by one of the Pilgrim fathers and descended through several generations by the oldest son. After grandfather died and my oldest brother had left home and we knew nothing of him at the time, and my second brother was dead, my brother Warren took possession of the cane; and several years afterwards when he went to Batavia in Genesee county at the land office some thief stole it.

Note by Tim Farr: I wonder if this cane was passed down from Stephen Farr Sr. who might have brought it with him form England?
