No, Elon John Farnsworth was born in Michigan and his family moved to IL (where he is buried) His home was in ILLinois. The restaurant is using him as the draw for their business. He is our relative and when my sister Nancy mentioned it to the Chef the entire kitchen and waiters made a fool of her in front of all the customers. She was mortified, so when she got home, I found them on the internet and sent them all the official papers and family history and the grave in Illinois (photo) and all cited sources - records, books, newspapers etc and really let them know they had made a fool of a real live relative who had all of Elon's history and I would spread the word and I have. That was never Elon's home nor his parents. He descends from Lieut David Farnsworth a founder of Fort 4, Charlestown NH 1740 during the French/Indian wars...a famous Indian fighter!
