In 1856 Mr. Cannell again became a resident of Maquoketa with the intention of making it his future home, and the little growing town became the center of his ambition. In 1859 he wedded Marietta Farr, a daughter of Harry and Mary A. Farr, of the same town. She was born in Moriah, New York, and was descended on the maternal side from the Mayflower passengers, John Alden and Priscilla Mullens.

Samuel resided 4 in 1776 in Chesterfield, Cheshire, New Hampshire, British Colonial America. He resided 6 in 1790 in Chesterfield, Cheshire, New Hampshire, United States.

Samuel Farr was styled the first on old tax records.

Mentioned in father's will. FHL film #0521780. Receives land from Samuel Sr. and Hannah on 20 Apr 1754. FHL film #0554044 Vol. 77, pp 527-29.

He sold his farm in Stow by a deed dated 1761, acknowledged 1702. and removed to Chesterfield, where he purchased, March 30, 1704, lots 9 and 11 in the 13th range. He signed the Association Test 1776,  and his name annually appears upon the tax list of Chesterfield until about 1790.

Mrs. Rebecca FARR was born about 1716 in Massachusetts, United States. Mrs. married Samuel FARR 1st about 1736 in of Stow, Middlesex, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America.

This record has been force changed too much. There are birth records of a Rebecca Biles but that doesn't make her the wife of Samuel Farr. A more likely candidate is Rebecca Robbens but that doesn't make her Samuel Farr's wife either. So that leaves us with one name for the time being, "Rebecca" or "Mrs Rebecca Farr".
