George Farr was naturalized; Shipwright. He Came in the fleet with Higginson, 1629, soon became farmer at Lynn. Made a freeman on 6-May-1635. Some list his birth at Lynn, incorrectly. He was born in England, and likely in Essex. He has been listed with the following sets of parents, whenever anyone has felt compelled to take a leap of faith that the information is, in genealogical terms, correct:
1. Benjamin Farr, b. Burnley, Lancashire, England and Elizabeth Johnson, b. Lancashire. STRETCH!!!!
2. Thomas Farr and Margaret Hatchman, showing George's birth in MA, before his brother, Robert, in Lincolnshire.. STRETCH!!
All sources agree on Elizabeth Stower(s) as his wife. MANY list Thomas as his father. SOME list an Ann Whitmore as another wife (prob. first). Reference: Savage, Torrey. He married
Elizabeth Stowers, daughter of
Nicholas Stowers and
Amy Marnam, at
Lynn, Essex County, Massachusetts, USA. George Farr was born circa 1594. He died on 24 October 1662.
