Thanks Sandra, > There is no mention of the surnames Cadie or Redly, or other likely > spellings, in Futhey and Cope, nor are there any area wills that contain > them. The Von Culen is probably a variation of the name Van Culin, the area > family who came, originally, from Finland... Yes --I think we do have a family of NEw-Sweden here. But which one? > Catharina is not an English form of the name, either.....it's much more likely to be Germanic/Swedish, etc I tend to agree and have some candidates for her, but won't speculate about who she might be at this point. So, let me ask another quick one: Is there a John FARR in Chester County at this time (c 1713) --is that part of the baptism record at least correct?? Or is this really one of the John CARRs who was around? Thanks again, Liz J

Futhey and Cope have nothing for the surname Farr, and that would include a good many tax lists. The will CD has Farrs, in Chester, but nothing that includes a John.....there was a John in Philly, but not till way too late to be "your" John. This is the earliest will mention of a Farr, in Chester; FARR, RICHARD. Edgmont, yeoman.May 14, 1743. October 8, 1744. B. 167.Provides for wife Alice inc plantation where I now live during life afterward to brother Edward Farr he paying legacies. To daughter in law Sarah Warner 50 shillings. To daughter in law Hannah Mattson 50 shillings. To brother Wm. Farr 20 shillings.Executors: wife Alice and friend Joseph Pratt.Witnesses: Wm. Griffith Sr, Thos. Goodwin, Cadwallader Evans. The 1756 Chester Archives include Edward Farr, from Edgmont who owned 100 acres (his will below). and Isaac, a single man, who is mentioned as son of Edward. FARR, EDWARD. Edgmont.December 13, 1780. March 30, 1781.Provides for wife Jane. To daughter Mary Cox and son Isaac20 shillings each. To each of my grandchildren by my daughter Jane Lewis 20 shillings. To son William and daughter Phebe Varnon 20 shillings. To son Abraham 3 horses, gears, etc., also plantation in Edgmont, containing about 100 acres. Executors: Son Abraham, George Bishop. Wit: Joseph Pratt, Joseph Bishop. As both are from Edgmont, I might find them in my book on Edgmont, but right now it is at my husband's office, awaiting his making some copies for another list member.....(that's you, George S....I haven't forgotten)....so, ask me some time later and I'll see if I can find anything in the Edgmont book..
