Mr. Farr,

    While reviewing the estate papers of Major Jonathan Farr [4th] of Chesterfield, NH. (M86F-MG9) , I believe I have discovered an unrecorded daughter, Mary/Polly Farr.

    The evidence lies in an acknowledgement by heirs of Major Jonathan Farr of the intent of John Kneeland (executor) to display his accounting of Major Jonathan's estate to the probate court. It is signed on 31 Mar 1809 by the following people:

Leonard Farr        [son]
Isaac Powers       [husband of Phila Farr, daughter]
Thomas Hastings [married Polly Farr, unrecorded daughter, in 1806]
Fanny Farr           [daughter who later that year married Roswell Safford]

I thought at first the marriage of Thomas Hastings must have been to Sally Farr, not Polly Farr, and there was a transcription error by the town clerk or minister. However, I found an 1821 deed in which Thomas and MARY Hastings quitclaim to Roswell Safford their interest in land bequeathed to the children of Major Jonathan by Joshua Farr (brother of Major Jonathan).

Major Jonathan was appointed guardian to Thomas Hastings on 19 Jun 1806, during the probate of the estate of Thomas' father, Andrew Hastings. Thomas was described as a minor under age 21 years.

Thomas Hastings had married Polly Farr on 3 Jun 1806. Polly could not have been less than 16 years old at marriage, so her birth had to be in or before 1790. There is a gap in the recorded children of Major Jonathan during which Polly may have been born.

Leonard  b. 1779
Sally       b. 1781
Phila       b. 1784
POLLY   b. ~1786
Fanny    b. 1788
Lucinda  b.  1791  (died young according to the History of Chesterfield, NH by Oran Randall)
Austin    b.  1797   (not found in the list of Major Jonathan's children in the Chestefield, NH town records, vol.1)

I have created Polly Farr in FamilySearch, her profile is GGT6-11Y.

At the time of the 1821 land deed, Thomas Hastings was in New York, and Polly was in Chesterfield, NH.

1820  Chesterfield, Cheshire, NH

Thomas Hastings   100000     10010

Joshua Farr names "Nelson Wheeler son of the wife of Thomas Hastings, formerly of Chesterfield" specifically, giving him $30. This is likely the male child in the Thomas Hastings household in 1820. I have not been able to find Thomas and Mary or Nelson Wheeler Hastings after 1820, as yet.
