Mary is listed as age 28 (so your birth date is probably right). Elam is listed as 35. Children: Cathern age 11, Allen age 9, Martha age 7, William H. age 5, and James P. age 3. The child you listed could have been born after this time. They lived in Pleasant, Barbour Co. WV. It was the only Farrance with a first name starting with E that I could find.
