  M iii
Walter FARR was born about 1815 in New York, United States. He died on 24 Jul 1837 in Pontiac, Oakland, Michigan, United States.



From Vanessa Herring:
Asa Farr it appears probably did have a son named Walter. I found an article on Fulton history in the Canajoharie NY Courier Standard Enterprise, 5 Oct 1976 about a rare document in the US Army History Collection in which Walter Farr was commissioned a paymaster of the Michigan State Militia in 1836. It mentions Dr. Alexander Ayres, who practiced medicine in early Pontiac, Oakland Co., MI. His wife was Harriet Farr, daughter of Asa Farr, clockmaker.

Also, in "Hudson Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs", Vol 3. by Cuyler Reynolds (1911), pgs 1318-1319, there is a piece on the Ayres family with Dr. Alexander Ayres in it. Here is the relevant part: "He married Harriet, born 1812, died 1886; daughter of Asa and Sarah (Conklin) Farr. Her brother Walter died in Michigan; her brother Wallace died in Washington D.C.; and her sister died at Ft. Plain."


Mohawk Courier of Little Falls, NY on fultonhistory, from an August 1837 issue, exact date unknown. It gives the date of his death:DIED At Pontiac, Michigan, on the 24th ult. [July], after a short illness, Mr. Walter Farr, son of Asa Farr of Manheim, merchant -- at the early age of 22.
The remainder of the obit is a tribute to his character, and a poem.
So, Walter was born about 1815. The death date fits with the probate document, which states he died sometime in the month of July 1837.
