Just a note about John Farrar b 1691's wife. If she was a Farmer, she could only be the daughter of Henry Farmer of Henrico(born 1657 died after 1717). No other Farmer is old enough to have a daughter the right age. There is no Peter Farmer born until 1740. The name Peter was used for many of the Henrico residents at this time and probably came from Peter Field, who was a military leader for the county.
Any clue where the idea of a Farmer connection started? I'd be interested in proving it.
