JOHN FARNHAM was born on 19 Apr 1756 in Dracut, Mdsx Co., MA.626,1337 On 5 Dec 1777 he was Yeoman in Dublin, Cheshire Co., NH.1338 [NEED TO DEFINE SENTENCE: Removed to]1339 He died before 1813 in Upper Canada.626 Date of death of John Farnam Sr. is unknown; however, in 1813 Archelaus K. Farnam, "Eldsest son and Heir at Law of the Late John Farnam," sold Lot 21, Consession 9, Bastard Township. Nothing in the Memorial at Brockville vobering the transaction indicated any interest held by a widow. John Farnham died before 1813, probably in Upper Canada, later Leeds County, Ontario. He married Hulda Kenney of Wilton, New Hampshire. At the time of marriage he was "of Dublin" (Vital records of New Hampshire), but it may be that he had spent some time previously at Wilton, where so many of his relatives were living. As a young child John Farnam had no doubt accompanied his widowed mother to Billerica between 1760 and 1763, but nothing more had been learned about him until he appeared on the 1778 tax list at Dublin, NH with his brother Joshua, both of whom have been described as coming there from Dracut. At Dublin, on 5 Dec 1777, as John Farnam yoeman of Dublin, he bought from Moses Adams one-half of lot 20, range 9. On 8 Dec 1778, as highest bidder, he bought 22 acres of the NW corner of lot 20, range 8 (sic), which was being sold for taxes, having been classified as abandoned. Immediately thereafter, for "nine shillings lawful money" he sold to Eli Underwood of Dublin, "all the right, title, and possission I havae or may claim to have' to 3 acres of lot 20 in the 8th range in Dublin, beginning at the northwest corner and running south to the brook." Dated ahd acknowledged 28 Dec 1778. Witnesses: Nathaniel Greenwood and Joseph Greenwood. The latest he has been found in Dublin Land Records was on 31 May 1782, when for 100 pounds"lawful silver money' he sold the West one-half of Lot 20, range 9, to Ephraim Curtis and Simeon Williams of Dracut, Middlesex Co, MA, husbandmen. Witnessed by Zebulan Chandler and Noah Vilas, Abuttors: Eli Greenwood, Joseph Mason, Noses Pratt. n the same day, with the ssame witnesses, he sold to Simeon Williams yoeman of Dracutt 10 acres of land in Slstead, Cheshire County, DNH. dIt is noted that the NW corner of this land was the SE corner of land of Noah Vilas. So the family may have made the trip to Vermont between 1783 and 1786, settling inthe area claimed by both Salisbury and Leicester. The 1790 census for Salisbury, County Addison, Vermont, lists John Farnum, with 1 male over 16, 2 males under 16, and 5 females. John Farnum of Leicestter signed several petitions, bebinning in 1788, one by the inhabitants of Leicester disputing the settlement line "giving to Salisbury the Jurisdiction of the lands we settled upon to our great injury." Finally, on Mar 3, 1795, John Farnam of Leicester, Addison Co. Vermont, sold his 130 acres in "Leicester, Alias Salisbury," and no doubt began the trek to Canada. CRO in his notes makes the comment:"John apparently left the U.S. in 1796, and may havve been a Loyalist. At any rate, he associated with them." But gives no speciffic instances and names. There were several men by the name of John Farnam/Farnum/Varnum who participated in the Revolutionary War onthe side of the colonies, but none can be definately described as this particular one. CRO seems to have some reason for thinking John Farnam had been at Kingston in Upper Canada before setttling at Leeds County, but found no evidence. His first appearance in the land records (microfilmed land and state book for upper Canada, Public Archives at Ottawa) was Feb 14, 1798, when at Bastardd Township, Leeds County, as John Farnam, Lot 21, Range 9, he was "on the lot with his family." At the same time adn place, Archelaus Farnum was "on the lot, " Lot 20, Range 8. Patents for these properties were granted each of them by the Crown as of May 17, 1802. John Farnam JR. soon appeared and thoroughly confused things. The three Farnams, John, John JR., and Archelaus, appeared at intervals during the early years on Bastard Township tax and assessment rolls (mostly for payment to send representatives ato the Assembly) and on a few scattered census reports. A list of inhabitants taken for the year 1806 in Bastard Township was headed by John Farnum, followed by Archelaus, Mother Widow, Ruth, and Lyman. Whose mother the wodow was is not clear. One interpretation is that John Farnam JR. headed the household, which included his older brother, his widowed mother Huldah, and a younger brother and sister. On the other hand, it could have been John Farnam Sr., now a widower, with three of his children still at home, plus his own mother. Note that the Vermont 1790 census record includes 5 females, although the fourth daughter was not born until 1791. It is also probable that John JR. in assessment and tax rolls was in 1807; from then on, it was John Farnam only. Date of death of John Farnam Sr. is unknown; however, in 1813 Archelaus K. Farnam, Eldest son and heir at Law of the late John Farnam, sold Lot 21, Concession 9, Bastard Township. Nothing in the Memorial at Brockville covering the transaction indicated any interest held by a widow. Parents: JOSHUA FARNHAM and MILLICENT PERRY. Spouse: HULDA KENNEY.
