The following is from "The Family of Willis Vernon Farr" by Jayne E. Bickford:

Joseph Farr, Jr. went to live with his Aunt Levina Gray when he was eight years old in Coventry, Vt. This would have been Levina (Reed) Gray, sister to Joseph Jr's mother.

A letter from Mrs. Alice M. Clifford, RFG#1, No. Craftsbury, Vermont, to Ellen Mary (Farr) Whitney asks for a list of her great grandfather Farr's brothers. This great grandfather was Joseph Farr, Sr. She also wrote that she would like to know about Aunt Olive Rugg, David Rugg and John Rugg and Mary Read. She says that in a letter from her great grandpa he had said they all died in four weeks. Another letter from Ellen Rugg who compiled "The Descendants of John Rugg" to Mrs. Whitney refers to these people (Olive, David and John Rugg and Mary Read), and it would appear that Ellen Whitney had written to Ellen Rugg for information to answer Mrs. Clifford's letter.

Being of a curious nature, your compiler wanted to know who these people were and went to "The Descendants of John Rugg" for the answer, being led to that book by Ellen Rugg's letter. It appears that Elizabeth (Rugg) Reed, mother of Hannah (Reed) Farr and mother-in-law of Joseph Farr (Mrs. Clifford's great grandpa) had a brother John. He and his wife had 12 children. One was Olive, and there was a David and a John. Olive died in 1854, not 1818, but David died 6 September 1818 and John died 25 September 1818. Mary Reed, daughter of Quartus and Susanna (Priest) Reed and granddaughter of Elizabeth (Rugg) Reed died 7 September 1818. This accounts for three of the family having died in 1818. Why Mrs. Clifford called Olive 'Aunt," I do not know.

Cosbi BOWMAN was born 1 on 2 Jun 1800 in of Albany, Orleans, Vermont, United States. She died 2 on 17 Jan 1840 in Albany, Orleans, Vermont, United States. Cosbi married Joseph FARR Jr. on 7 Mar 1831 in Vermont, United States.

They had the following children.

  F i Emily Bowman FARR was born on 21 Apr 1834. She died on 3 Sep 1862.
  F ii Hannah Bowman "Anna" FARR was born on 9 Sep 1835.
  F iii Olesa E. Bowman FARR was born on 5 Mar 1838. She died on 8 Jun 1861.

Mr. Farr,

I noticed in the estate papers of Dea. Daniel Farr of Westmoreland, NH (L7BZ-Y4R) that his son Charles H Farr (9QGY-HQT) acknowledged receipt of his portion of the estate of his father from Holton, Jackson Co., KS, in 1869. He died there in 1916. There is a transcription of his obituary on his FindaGrave memorial, #138904492. I have attached his profile to Daniel's household.

Also, I noticed that Daniel does not mention a son Albert (L7BZ-YVQ) in his will. The son Albert first appears in Daniel's household in the 1860 census, and is not present in 1850:

1860 Westmoreland, Cheshire, NH

Daniel Farr  61  NH
Emily Farr  44  NH
Albert Farr  12  VT

This son has a birth year of 1848 in VT, the same as Albert Farr, son of Daniel's brother Joseph Farr Jr.. Joseph died in 1856, and Albert is not present in his widow's household in 1860.:

1850 Coventry, Orleans, VT

Joseph Farr  47  NH
Annah Farr  49  NH
Emily Farr  16   VT
Hannah Farr  14  VT
Elisa Farr  12  VT
Cyntha Farr  4  VT
Albert Farr  2  VT

1860 Coventry, Orleans, VT

Anna Farr  59  NH
Eliza Farr  22  VT
Hannah Farr  24 VT
Cynthia Farr  14 VT

I believe it is probable that the Albert Farr in Daniel's household in 1860 is not his son, but his nephew. If Albert had been his son, Daniel's wife Clarissa would have been 50 years old at the time she gave birth to Albert!

Happy New Year!
