Jonathan FARR 1st [Parents] [scrapbook] was born 1, 2, 3 on 24 Feb 1722/1723 in Stow, Middlesex, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America. He died after 7 Jan 1766. Jonathan married Rachel about 1742 in of Stow, Middlesex, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America.

Jonathan owned 4 land which he sold to Charles Whitney on 7 Jan 1766 in Stow, Middlesex, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America.

Mentioned in father's will and mentions in a land deed that he is the brother of Abraham Farr son of Samuel Farr. His wife Rachel signed the deed also.

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.


FHL film #0563308 "Stow, Massachusetts, 1683-1933" p.70:
FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR

DURING the French and Indian War, from 1755 to 1763, the town furnished soldiers for the army at Fort William Henry, Crown Point, Canada and Nova Scotia. Sometimes when the soldiers were leaving for the seat of war, services were held by the resident minister. Thus, on the 23rd of June 1755, Rev. Mr. Gardner preached at the desire of Capt. William Pierce, being the day he began his march with his company for Albany, in the expedition against Crown Point. Samuel Preston was a captain in the army in 1756. In Capt. Pierce's company, Michael Law was sergeant, John Law was corporal, Jonathan Farr was drummer, Nathan Whitney; Solomon Taylor, Josiah Wetherbee Jonathan Pierce of Stow, were privates. Ephraim Powers was sergeant in Capt. Preston's company, and Ezekiel Davis in another company. May 22, 1758, Ensign Jabez Brown and others of Stow, whose names are not known, started to join the army destined for Canada. In April, 1760; others started for Crown Point.

The following Stow soldiers went to Canada in 1760: Joshua Brown, Jonathan Far, Phineas Fuller, Amos Gates, Simon Gates; Abra Gates, Paul Graves, and Solomon Savcas, a servant of Mary Hapgood. None of the men were killed in the army during the war, but the following died while in service from diseases contracted in camp: January 4, 1756, Capt. Ephraim Brown, a few after his return from the army; July 23, 1758, Ebenezer Gates died at Lake George May 24; 1760, Abel Ray died at Shrewsbury, on his march to the army; November 1760, Isaac Taylor died at Crown Point; November 28, 1761, Stephen Houghton while returning from Crown Point. Robert Lawrence held a garrison a short time; was promoted Captain; was mortally wounded in an attack on the fort in 1690, by the French and Indians. Captain Thomas Lawrence, commander of a company, enlisted in the French War in 1758, from Pepperell and vicinity.

Rachel [scrapbook] was born on 24 Feb 1721/1722 in of Stow, Middlesex, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America. She died after 7 Jan 1766. Rachel married Jonathan FARR 1st about 1742 in of Stow, Middlesex, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America.

Rachel owned 1 and signed a deed conveying land to Charles Whitney on 7 Jan 1766 in Stow, Middlesex, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America.

From Vanessa Herring:
It seems very common in genealogies of this family that wife Rachel is shown as dying on 21 Apr 1753, the same day that her daughter Rachel was born. Daughter Rachel is said to have died on the same day that she was born. However, the records of Stow MA do not list either of these deaths, although the book includes family-held records, church records and cemetery records, along with town records. I have now found hard evidence that the mother Rachel did not die in 1753.

On 7 Jan 1766, Jonathan Farr Jr of Stow MA sold land in Stow MA to Charles Whitney of Chesterfield NH for 150 pounds. In the land description, it is mentioned that Jonathan had bought the land on 22 Jan 1762  "of my brother Abraham, conveyed to Abraham by the last will and testament of Samuel Farr late of Stow." Both Jonathan, and his wife, Rachel signed this deed (Rachel with an "X"). So, Rachel did not die in 1753, but was alive at least until 1766.

This same Charles Whitney (wife Rebecca) of Chesterfield had sold land in Chesterfield NH to Jonathan Farr Jr of Stow MA on 7 Jan 1765. (These two transactions may have actually occurred on the same day of the same year.) Charles does not describe the land sold, but simply calls it "my whole right in the township of Chesterfield...Being the original right of Ebenezer Day...except the House Lot drawn on said right which I have heretofore sold to David Pierce". It is probable that this Charles Whitney is the son of Joshua Whitney (son of Richard Whitney and Elizabeth Sawtell, and brother of Hannah Whitney Farr), who married Rebecca Wood of Acton 14 Jul 1752, and whose sister Sarah married David Pierce after the death of her first husband Simon Maynard.

They had the following children.
