Jacob Farrar was born in England, probably about 1642, and went to Lancaster, Mass. where he resided with his mother and younger brothers and sisters. In about 1668 he married Hannah, daughter of George Hayward of Concord, and on Aug. 22, 1668 he was killed by the Indians in King Phillip's War. Hannah Farrar, his widow, took administration of his estate October 3, 1676 and at the same time returned an inventory dated 1675-7-27. Their children were Jacob, born April 29, 1669 and married Susanna Rediate; George, born August 16, 1670 and married Mary Howe; John, born 1672 and married Elizabeth Herrion; Henry, born 1674, was still living October 6, 1697. He is credited on the Colony Book under the date September 23, 1676, for military service under Captain Hunting. Soon after his death, certainly as early as the abandonment of the town in February following, the widow, with her children went to Concord, where her relatives lived, and where the children were brought up and settled. March 5, 1681 she married Adam Holloway of Marlboro and subsequently, January 2, 1705-8 married Jonathan Forbush. October 6, 1697, after the four sons had all come of age they united in the deed of all the real estate in Lancaster, inherited from their Grandfather Jacob, to their Uncle, John Houghington. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Aegean/1917/Jonathan01.html ============== 22 AUG 1675 in Lancaster, MA, killed in Monoco's Indian raid, Lancaster.. 1 More About Jacob Farrar: Baptism: September 04, 1641, Halifax, York, Engalnd Children of Jacob Farrar and Hannah Hayward are: 64 i.
