When I checked the NH records there were hoards of FARRAR surnames - so I used Cheshire and Merrimack as my search criteria to find parents, it appears that Cheshire has the highest concentration - Cyrus and Minrot moved after 1850 and prior to 1860 to Wisconsin - I only selected those two counties and recorded below - however, there are entire groups of FARRAR surnames from NH that are NOT listed here - No FARRAR in the JCGS Cemetery Book 1 1790 United States Federal Census Name Home in 1790 (City,County,State) Year Daniel Farrar Fitzwilliam, Cheshire, NH 1790 John Farrar Fitzwilliam, Cheshire, NH 1790 William Farrar Fitzwilliam, Cheshire, NH 1790 George Farrar Marlborough, Cheshire, NH 1790 Josiah Farrar Marlborough, Cheshire, NH 1790 Phinehas Farrar Marlborough, Cheshire, NH 1790 1810 United States Federal Census Name Residence (City, County, State) Year Darion Farrar Dublin, Cheshire, NH 1810 Joshua Farrar Dublin, Cheshire, NH 1810 Phineus Farrar Dublin, Cheshire, NH 1810 Wm Farrar Fitzwilliam, Cheshire, NH 1810 1820 United States Federal Census Name Home in 1820 (City,County,State) Year Farrar, James Marlborough, Cheshire, NH 1820 Farrar, John B.

I am not related to nor have any additional information on these surnames. If there is a question of error in this transcription, please consult the original documents. R/S MAK ++++ thanks for your generous offer to do look-ups In your Cemetery Book #1. Would you please see if there are any FARRAR's listed? I am looking for MINOR FARRAR, biological mother of Minnie Ione Loomis, adopted daughter of Sarah and Jonathan Ira Loomis who lived in Kildare. She was born in 1861, so her mother may have died somewhere between 1861 and 1870. I found Minnie as a 9 year old living with the Loomis's in the 1870 census. I saw in a Broderbund CD that there were a couple FARRAR's living in Armenia Twp in 1860- perhaps one is her father or mother. There was a "Cyrus" and a "Minot". Possibly "Minot" is a mistranscription of "Minor" or possibly a mistake made by my Grandmother when she wrote the name on the back of a photo identifying the person shown as Minnie Ione's real mother.
