Ora "Ory" FARR [scrapbook] 1 was born 2 in 1828 in Vermont, United States. He died 3, 4 on 21 Oct 1856 in Sutton, Caledonia, Vermont, United States. He was buried 5 in Sutton, Caledonia, Vermont, United States.

I have one more item found in the probate papers of Cheshire Co., NH. The estate of Ora Farr, widow Hannah, was distributed to the following people:

Emily Chamberlain  (daughter, wife of Alfred Chamberlain)
Marshall H Farr  (son)
Hoyt F Farr  (son)
Larkin L Farr  (son)
Norman H Farr  (son)
George R Farr (son)

The list does not include a son Ora Farr. The list of children for Ora and Hannah Farr in the Chesterfield town records also does not include an Ora (though such lists are sometimes not definitive). I attached these two documents to the correct persons' profiles.

I think that Ora Farr (L1S9-Y68) born 1828 in VT is probably the same person as Ora Farr (LCQS-MB8) b. ~1820 NH, and is a son of Erastus Farr.

1830 Sutton, Caledonia, VT

Erastus Far  111001       101001

The male child 0-4 years old would be Ora, and the male 5-9 would be his brother Hiram (b. 1821).

There are several land deeds in Sutton between Ora and Hiram, involving "land owned by Erastus Farr at his decease". Ora mortgaged some of this land to Hiram twice. One of the mortgaged properties included a barn on land owned by Joanna Stoddard, and a dwelling house built on the end of David and Joanna Stoddard's house, "my now dwelling house".

I have now finished reviewing the Farr probate papers of Cheshire Co., NH.


Best regards,
