Ancestors of Tim Farr and Descendants of Stephen Farr Sr. of Concord, Massachusetts and Lidlington, Bedfordshire, England


Samuel HILDRETH [Parents] [scrapbook] 1 was born 2 on 25 Jul 1735 in Chelmsford, Middlesex, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America. He died 3 on 22 May 1812 in Chesterfield, Cheshire, New Hampshire, United States. Samuel married 4 Hannah FARR 5 on 27 Nov 1759 in New Hampshire, British Colonial America.

Hannah FARR [Parents] [scrapbook] 1 was born 2 about 1740 in Stow, Middlesex, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America. She died 3 on 23 Dec 1786 in Chesterfield, Cheshire, New Hampshire, United States. Hannah married 4 Samuel HILDRETH 5 on 27 Nov 1759 in New Hampshire, British Colonial America.

The following was brought to my attention by Vanessa Herring on August 12, 2017:
Mr. Farr,

     I have an interest in Samuel Hildreth who married Hannah Farr, since my James Wheeler became guardian of several children in that branch of the Hildreth Family. I came across your research on the various Hannah Farrs, and realized that I have the answer to your question of which Hannah Farr married Samuel Hildreth of Westmoreland NH.

     The answer lies in a quit claim deed that was executed in Chesterfield NH and Boyleston MA in 1787. The following persons of Chesterfield participated in the quit claim: Samuel Hildreth [wife Hannah possibly having died before/during 1787], Daniel Farr, Edward Hildreth and wife Sarah [nee Farr], and Mary Farr. Patience Farr of Boylston MA also participated. For the sum of 5 lbs, each, they quit claimed to Samuel Farr of Boylston MA their interest in the estate of "our hon'd father Daniel Farr late of Shrewsbury North Parish, now called Boylston, deceased". 

    So, the Hannah Farr who married Samuel Hildreth was an unrecorded daughter of Daniel Farr and Leah Unknown. Neither the date nor place that Daniel married Leah are known, but Hannah must have been born around 1741/2, though she is not recorded in Stow.

They had the following children.

  M i Isaac HILDRETH was born on 19 Sep 1767. He died on 14 May 1812.

Jonas FARR [Parents] [scrapbook] was born 1, 2, 3 on 12 Mar 1769 in Chesterfield, Cheshire, New Hampshire, United States. He died 4 in 1814 in Lynn, Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, United States. Jonas married 5 Parney BARROS on 29 Jul 1792 in Dummerston, Windham, Vermont, United States.

Parney BARROS was born 1 on 30 Apr 1772 in Warren, Worcester, Massachusetts, United States. She died 2 in 1850 in Wyoming, Pennsylvania, United States. Parney married 3 Jonas FARR on 29 Jul 1792 in Dummerston, Windham, Vermont, United States.

Jonathan FARR 3rd [Parents] [scrapbook] 1 was born 2, 3, 4 on 3 May 1746 in Stow, Middlesex, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America. He died after 11 Oct 1794 in Dummerston, Windham, Vermont, United States. Jonathan married Mrs. Hannah FARR 5 about 1768.

Jonathan was also known as Jonathan Farr Jr.. His will was probated 6 on 16 Dec 1794 in Dummerston, Windham, Vermont, United States.

Other marriages:
FAY, Lucy

Jonathan Farr III was styled the third to avoid confusion with other Jonathan's on the tax records. It in no way suggest lineage!

From Vanessa Herring:
Jonathan 3rd's last land transaction in Chesterfield was to sell 50 acres of Lot 11 in the 13th Range to Joseph Nurse of Dummerston, VT, on 8 Mar 1791. On the same day, Joseph Nurse sold Jonathan Farr 3rd of Chesterfield NH land in Dummerston, all of Lot 118 - 100 acres.
     
Jonathan Farr of Dummerston later sells 40 acres of Lot 118 to Peter Lamb of Dummerston, on 11 Oct 1794.
     
Only 2 months later (third Tuesday Dec 1794), Hannah Farr applied for her letters of administration "upon the estate of Jonathan Farr her late husband, late of Dummerston, deceased." Bond was provided by Thomas Farr (probably her son), and warrant to appraise was given. The inventory was completed 2 Jan 1795, mentioning a home farm and wild land.

From Vanessa Herring:
Mr. Farr,

I've been doing an analysis of the land records for the 4 Jonathan Farrs of Chesterfield, to see if I can approximate the death year of Jonathan 1st. Here's what I've found:

First, we know that Jonathan Farr first was alive at the 1790 census, as were 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.

Jonathan 1st moved from Lot 5 11th Range, likely to be close to his sons in his old age. He purchased from Samuel Davis part of Lots 13 and 14 in the 14th Range on 5 Apr 1781. (He sold his Lot 5 11th Range land to Jonas Davis in 1785.)

Jonathan 2nd died about 25 Feb 1791.

Jonathan 3rd moved to Dummerston VT a little after his purchase of land there on 8 Mar 1791.

In administering Jonathan 2nd's estate in 1792, Jonathan 4th calls himself Jonathan 3rd, now 2nd in court papers. (The judge seems to ignore this, and always calls him Jonathan 3rd.)  This would seem to indicate that the original Jonathan 3rd is no longer counted, since he has removed to Dummerston VT.

Likewise, Jonathan 4th does not take into account Jonathan 3rd, who is still living, but located in Dummerston VT by 1792. Selling estate land on 5 Dec 1793, he calls himself "Jonathan Farr 2nd, administrator of Jonathan Farr 2nd".

This would seem to indicate that Jonathan 1st is still living in 1793.

Jonathan 4th last called himself Jonathan 2nd in a deed on 8 Jan 1794. He first calls himself only Jonathan on a deed of 24 Apr 1794. It would appear that Jonathan 1st probably died during this time period.

By 1802, Jonathan 4th calls himself Esqr in his land transactions, and after his death in 1807 is referred to as Major Jonathan Farr by the administrator of his estate, John Kneeland.

Land transactions by John Kneeland reveal that Jonathan 4th's wife's name was Mary.

Mrs. Hannah FARR 1 was born about 1748 in of Chesterfield, Cheshire, New Hampshire, British Colonial America. She died after 16 Dec 1794 in Vermont, United States. Mrs. married Jonathan FARR 3rd 2 about 1768.

I wouldn't be surprised if this Hannah was actually Hanah Farr daughter of Thomas and Hannah Farr of Hardwick.

They had the following children.

  M i Jonas FARR was born on 12 Mar 1769. He died in 1814.
  F ii
Lydia FARR was born 1, 2, 3 on 4 Jan 1771 in Chesterfield, Cheshire, New Hampshire, United States. She died 4 on 15 Sep 1775 in Chesterfield, Cheshire, New Hampshire, United States.

Thomas FARR [Parents] was born 1, 2, 3 on 13 Jul 1773 in Chesterfield, Cheshire, New Hampshire, United States. He died 4 on 30 Sep 1848 in Sandgate, Bennington, Vermont, United States. He was buried 5 in Sandgate, Bennington, Vermont, United States. Thomas married 6 Susanna BRUSH "Sally" on 24 Jun 1792 in Dummerston, Windham, Vermont, United States.

Thomas resided 7 in 1840 in Sandgate, Bennington, Vermont, United States.

Some people have this Thomas as passing away in 1777 but there is no proof of such as of yet.

Susanna "Sally" BRUSH was born 1, 2 about 1776 in Connecticut, United States. She died 3, 4, 5 on 14 Dec 1870 in Sandgate, Bennington, Vermont, United States. She was buried 6 in Sandgate, Bennington, Vermont, United States. Sally married 7 Thomas FARR on 24 Jun 1792 in Dummerston, Windham, Vermont, United States.

Susannah's Parents were Joseph and Mary Brush of Connecticut.

In 1850, Sally Farr was living with the G P Nelson family. In 1860, she lived with the A J Torrence family. In 1870, she lived with her widowed daughter Anna Torrence.

They had the following children.

  M i
Edward? FARR was born about 1794.
  F ii Mary FARR was born in 1809. She died on 11 Jan 1890.
  F iii Ann FARR was born in 1812. She died in 1893.

William FISCHER was born on 2 Apr 1890 in McDonald, Rawlins, Kansas, United States. He died on 7 Mar 1983 in Sun City, Maricopa, Arizona, United States. William married 1 Beulah FARR on 3 Jul 1915 in Mazomanie, Dane, Wisconsin, United States.
