Bobbie, The Royall connection to the Farrar's is this: Joseph Farrar, (> Thomas> William) of Goochland Co., VA, b. date unknow ( to me) died 1749, married Mary Roayll, who was the widow of Josiah Woodson. Joseph's will was dated Aug. 14, and proved Nov. 21, 1749. Names his son Joseph Royall Farrar, daughters Lucy Farrar, & Elizabeth. His stepson Joseph Woodson. His wife, Mary and his stepsons John and Joseph Woodson are the executors. Joseph Royall Farrar, the above son of Joseph Farrar, was b. abt 1740 and lived in Goochland Co., Va, until about 1785, when he moved to Fayette Co., KY. where he lived ntil his death. (date of death not known) He married three times. 1. Phoebe Harris, dau. of James of Cumberland Co. VA. 2. Martha Gaines, 3. Janes, dau. of Thos. Ford of Goochland. His Issue: by # 1 -a. Sarah Farrar, b. abt July 18, 1763, d. as an infant. b. Sarah Farrar, b. Feb. 10, 1765, marr. John Royster c. Mary Farrar, b. Jan 27, 1767, marr. Wm. Harris d. Lucy Farrar, b. Feb. 19, 1769, marr. John Crouch By his 2nd Marr. to Martha Gaines e. Judith Farrar, b. ? marr. John Flournoy f. Elizabeth, b. ? marr. Dr. John Selman, of Maryland. g. Joseph Farrar, died at age 13. By his 3rd marriage to Jane Ford: h. William Farrar, who marrid and died young, leaving children in Indiana. i. Bernard Gaines Farrar j. Jane Farrar, marr. Dr. Coleman Rogers of Louisville, KY k. Joseph Royal Farrar, marr. ____ a dau. of Benj. Smith of Fayette Co., Ky, died leaving children. I don't know why the Farrar's in Chatham, (John), would have named the son after the a cousin but, the Clark's in Chatham were cousins, several times over. And, I keep trying to find a connection to the Winnefred Clark that married into the Farrar line to my earlier Clarks. The reason being. The old William Clark in Chatham,( father of Alexander and grfather to William, father of Mary L. Clark Farrar) was married first to Winnefred Webb and I only know of Alexander, as their children. I believe this Winnefred Clark could be an older sister to Alexander, that has not been documented. The only problem being that Goochland is not the county of residence for the Clark's at that time. They were in Richmond. All this is from the VA. Mag. of History. Anyway, just a few tidbits more for you. I'm trying to get the pages printed out for you to mail. Oh, I have had the weirdest thing happen to me on my computer. All of a sudden, I cannot connect to rootsweb. Just on my computer. On my husbands everything is fine, but I cannot make a link between anything. Have any idea what could be wrong ? Sue Bobbie Ross wrote: > Thought someone on the list might like this info.
