More stuff; If this book is correct The Faris Family of Wahington Co. Ind. William Farrie/Faries who arrived 1772 died 1805 descen from a Martyre David Farrie of Scotland who had a son David II. William Farrie changed his name between 1774 1789. According to land documents of 1768 fours before William of 1772 arrived there was already a Farris family in York S.C. in Fishing Creek the 2nd William went to Rocky Creek S.C., the book helps to a point but still is a little confussing. Also a couple of months ago on the GenForum LaNell Farris Pappas printed out stuff on a Henry Farris that was here before 1761, she mentioned 5 being 5 brothers but only mentioned 2 a Henry and Peter who sold some land to a David Farris in Lunnenburg Co. Va. and also listed Henry's five children >Thomas b. 1709 >James Esom > 1722 >Joseph b.1725 >Charles b.abt. 1729 >Jacob b. 1729 >William b.(?) I think this the possibly the 1st William The list I got from Buster shows William Father was David, is this the David that purchased the land from Henry and his brother Peter I mentioned earlier in 1761. This stuff is cool , confussing but cool sometime you feel like Sherlock Holmes trying to figure this stuff out. I need to find someone that will go to work for me so I can stay home and play with this Stuff. See you Guy's Pete
