Mary Farr (b. 06 January 1643/44, d. 07 January 1716/17)

Mary Farr (daughter of George Farr and Elizabeth Stowers) was born 06 January 1643/44 in Lynn, Essex, MA, and died 07 January 1716/17 in Groton, Middlesex, MA. She married Matthias Farnsworth, son of Richard F. Farnsworth and Elizabeth Marshe.

Notes for Mary Farr:
Mary Farr appears to have been a householder in 1692, when the garrisons
were formed for the common defence. Probably she continued to keep
house for many years at the old homestead. In the latter part of her
life she seems to have made her home with her son Samuel, who, perhaps
took charge of the homestead before he moved to Lunenburg. She made
her will, which is dated Dec. 5, 1716, and was proved March 7, 1717,
so that she must have died between those dates, but the exact time is
not known.
