Jacob FARR Sr. [scrapbook] ¹ was born about 1733 in Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America. He died in 1788 in Chesterfield, Cheshire, New Hampshire, United States.

We know that this Jacob Farr is related somehow to the Bedfordshire group of Farrs in the Y-DNA Farr Project with FTDNA.

A descendant of Jacob Farr Sr. named Alpheus Farr, married Sybil Farr the daughter of our Asahel Farr and thus a sister to our Winslow Farr Sr.

We originally thought that the Alpheus Farr lines were not related to us because it dead ended with Jacob Farr Sr. and many said that he came from England. The Y-DNA evidence now tells us that all of the Farrs that descend from Jacob Farr Sr., are related to us.

His Y-DNA matches that of Stephen Farr Sr. of Concord, Massachusetts and Lidlington, Bedforshire, England. He could be an unrecorded son of Thomas Farr Sr., or Samuel Farr Sr., who are all sons of Stephen Farr Sr.

Another possibility is that he might have come directly from England. In looking at all the Vital records of Farr's on my Farr DVD 2 that has all Farr's in Great Britain on it from the 1500s down to the late 1800s, I only see one possibility. That possibility is Jacob Farr of Berkshire but we haven't found any matching DNA in Berkshire nor any connections to the Bedfordshire/Buckinghamshire Farrs.

This Jacob Farr is mentioned in a marriage record of his son Jacob Farr and Hannah Muzzey.

According to Oran E. Randall in his book, History of Chesterfield, Cheshire county, N.H., Jacob Farr was in Chesterfield in 1777, and served in Capt. Waitstills Scott's company.

Said to have come from England in the mid 1750s but because of Y-DNA evidence, that is highly unlikely.

I will continue to research all of the above and report when I find something.
