FARNSWORTH Mathias; LAN,ENG; 1615-1688 My records in England (Lancashire) begin late 1500s at Eccles and Farnworth, Lancs., ENG Thereafter the records are extensive beginning in Massachustts (USA) and forward thru out America. I spend my time in the British websites trying to get deeper into the Farnsworth surname. We married into the Prescott family also of Lancs. and that record goes back to 900 A.D. and it is a typed file you can have if you want it.
