Rinaldo resided 4 in 1850 in Buffalo, Ward 5, Erie, New York, United States.

In a book named Early Settlers of New York State: Their Ancesters and Descendants, Vol. 1 by Janet Foley, I find the only clue of who Rinaldo's parents are. It states that Mrs. Polly Farr is the mother of Rinaldo Farr.

If you look at the children of Rufus Farr and Polly, there is a large gap in children right after they marry. Rinaldo fits that gap nicely.

BIRTH: Death certificate states that he was born in Ipswich.
