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. Proving her eligibility thereto many years afterward, she became a member of the General Society of Mayflower Descendents. She also became a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution through her mother's grandfather, Joseph Crane, Jr.

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".

In September of the same year[1776], Col. Nahum Baldwin's regiment was raised, and, together with that of Col. Thomas Tash, was sent to re-enforce the Continental army in New York.

The sixth company of Col. Baldwin's regiment was commanded by Capt. John Houghton. It contained the following Chesterfield men: John Bishop, James Robinson [Robertson], Josiah Hastings, Jonathan Farr, Ezekiel Powers, Jonathan Cressey, Jonathan Farwell, Isaac Farr, Nathan Thomas, Jonathan Farr, 3d. Capt. Houghton's company was mustered, apparently, at Swanzey, Sept. 22. The men were paid 6 pounds in advance, and were allowed one pound, 13 shillings and 4 pence for 200 miles of travel. It is not known in what actions they were engaged, or at what time they were discharged.

In the December following, another regiment was raised for the same purpose as the two last mentioned, and placed under comr mand of Col. David Gilman. The first company was commanded by Capt. Francis Town. There were, at least, two Chesterfield men in this company, viz.: Zenas Fairbanks and Aaron Farr. Perhaps the name of Levi Fairbanks should be added.
