Charles resided 2 in 1840 in Ellisburg, Jefferson, New York, United States. He resided 3 in 1855 in Somers, Kenosha, Wisconsin, United States.

CENSUS: 1840. Ellisburg, Jefferson Co., NY. Charles A. Farr heads a household comprising 1 male age 0-4; 1 male age 10-14; 1 male age 30-39; 1 female age 15-19; 1 female age 30-39. Presumably the eldest male and female are Charles and his wife.

Doug Farr has sent me a document (according to Doug, originated by Doris and Bruce Rickmyer) identifying the following Wisconsin family with the family of Charles A. Farr, son of Jeremiah Farr and Katherine Belden. The census is consistent with this identification, but does not offer any definitive proof. Presumably other information was available to Doug and/or the Rickmyer's in making the identification.

Sept. 9, 1850 Census. Pleasant Prairie, Kenosha Co., Wisconsin. Lines 5-12. Dwelling 153, Family 156. Charles A Farr, 45M, farmer, b. New  York; Abigal, 40F, b. Vermont; Lydia A., 15F, b.

I cannot find any member of this family in the 1860 census. Doug Farr's document identifies the following New York family from the 1870 census as that of Harvey Farr, son of Charles A. and Abigal Farr. Again, the census is consistent with this identification, but does not offer any proof.
