Different family genealogy sources give dates of death for Catherine/Katherine
Farrar from 1752 to 1772.  Her memorial on Find a Greave, presumably based on
the burial record date, says 1763.  However, her burial site has been lost.

Notes for Thomas FARRAR


The Farrar Family Genealogy has a good generational history of the Farrar
(Ferrier) family going back to William the Conqueror.  The first excerpt here
introduces the origins and the line leading to the Thomas Farrar included in
this genealogy.

=================================
From the beginning, the Farrar family name has had many variations: Ferris,
Ferrer, Farrer, Ferrier, Farris, Farrar, and Faries. All these families claim
to be from the same family, and therefore must be variations of the same name.
All are descended from the deFerriers who came to England with William
Conqueror in 1066, and then from the Ferris family of Leicestershire, England,
descended from Henri deFerriers, son of Gwalchalme deFerriers, who was Master
of Horse to the Duke of Normandy. His name is found "upon the Battle Abbey
Roll".

We do know that there was a Henry Ferriers who came with William the Conqueror
to England from a town named Ferriers or Ferrieres in France. His descendants
continue to possess the estate of Baddlesley Clinton, Warwickshire, England.
The Ferriers were a distinguished family in England and France. The surname is
originally Norman and means "one who works in iron", which could have been in
any country.

This line begins with Henrie Farrar, Sr. He was born abt 1480 in Ewood,
Halifax Parish, England, and died Nov. 6, 1549 in Yorkshire, England. He
married Agnes Barcroft Horsefalls in 1513 in Halifax, England. She was born
abt 1480 in Stothlay, Yorkshire, England, and died Nov. 26, 1549 in Yorkshire.

=================================

I include here an excerpt that provides information about Thomas and his
father.  This source explains that the Farrar family first settled in Farrar's
Island (actually a peninsula within a hairpin bend of the James River) in what
was then Henrico County, now Chesterfield County, south of Richmond.

=================================
William Farrar II (son of William, gson of John Jr) was born 1626 at Farrar's
Island, Henrico Co., VA, and died Feb. 1, 1678 in Charles City, VA. He married
Mary Piggot Baugh abt 1653 VA. She was born abt 1627 VA, and died 1676 VA.
This William Farrar was known as Colonel William Farrar. He served Henrico
County, VA, as justice and as burgess.
He and Mary had 6 children:
(1) William III, b. 1656 Farrar's Island, VA, d. April 3, 1721 Farrar's Island
(2) Martha, b. 1664 Farrar's Island, married Walter Shipley
(3) Thomas, b. 1665 Farrar's Island, d. 1742, St. James Northan [Northam], VA
married first to Mary Ligon and then to Katherine Perrin in 1686
(4) John, b. abt 1670 VA, d. bef 1729 Farrar's Island, married Temprance Brown
(5) Cecily, b. abt 1672 Farrar's Island; AND (6) Martha, b. abt 1672, VA
--  http://www.angelfire.com/al2/bcampbell/farrar.html
=================================

Note that this source gives Thomas' birth year as 1655.  Another Source
reports the year as 1662.  Years of birth were in many cases not recorded or
variously reported in contemporary and later sources.

Notes for Laura Nancy Lucy FARRINGTON


The wife of Volney Gay is reported in the censuses variously as Laura or Lucy. 
Birth states match, reporting Ohio consistently, though there is the usual
problem with varying ages.  But generally she is reported of an age to be born
about 1822 or 1823.

Volney Ephraim Gay
Birth 9 Jan 1817 in  Franklin County, Ohio
Death 28 Feb 1889 in  Dassel, Meeker County, Minnesota
Marriage 27 Sep 1841 Rushville, Schuyler, Illinois to Lucy Farrington
Birth 13 Dec 1822 in  Meigs, Ohio, Death 20 Mar 1873 in  Swan Lake, Meeker,
Minnesota
--  Bellamy,
http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/7103511/person/-1137285552?ssrc=&ml_rpos=11

One genealogy reports that Laura was her given name and Lucy was a nickname
she went by.

Gay, Orrin 4 M b Illinois [b abt 1853]
Gay, Alois 3 M b Illinois [b abt 1854]
Gay, Francis 2 months M b Illinois [b abt 1856]

The age of Lucy in 1850 at 27 (born about 1823) matches the birth date
reported for Laura in 1860 at age 36 (born about 1824).  But in between, the
age of 24 reported for Laura in 1857 makes birth 1833 instead of 1823.  Birth
places for Laura in Ohio match the birth place reported for Lucy in the
Bellamy genealogy.

Lucy Gay F
Sylvester Gay M
Orrin Gay M

Carolina Gay F
Asa Gay M

In the censuses of 1857 and 1860, Volney Gay's wife is reported as Laura.  But
in Volney's memorial on Find a Grave, it is reported that he married Lucy
Farrington in 1841.  His wife is reported as Lucy in the Minnesota census of
1865.

Lucy's grave reports she died in 1873.  However, in the 1870 census, Volney's
wife is named Nancy, and she is his same age, born about 1825, close to
Lucy/Laura's ages in other censuses.  Another odd thing is that they are in
Missouri.  But In the 1875 state census, they are back in Minnesota, and
Volney has no wife.  That would match the reported death of Lucy/Laura in 1873
for him to be a widower in 1875.  The simplest explanation for this report of
a wife named Nancy is that this was another name of Laura, who used the
nickname Lucy most of the time.

In the 1870 census all the children are reported born in Illinois.

Notes for Monroe Benjamin FARRIS


Benjamin in genealogies matches the child named Monroe in the 1880 census, aged
1, and thus born about 1879.  I have not seen sufficient clues to determine
the order of his names, Benjamin Monroe or Monroe Benjamin.  Since he is
enumerated as Monroe at age 1, I am assuming this is the first name.  Also
this census clearly confirms that the birth state was Tennessee, not Missouri
as some genealogies reprot.

Notes for John FASTOLFE


John Fastolfe built what became the famous Caistor Castle in County Norfolk,
England.  It was originally the manor house of his family's estate.  In this
manor house he was born, and he developed it into a formidable castle.

=======================================
Caister Castle

It’s a ruin now, but once Caister Castle was among the most desirable
addresses in Norfolk. Back in 1469, 3,000 men wanted to live there at once.

Location, location...

The site north of what is now Yarmouth occupied a strategic site near the
Norfolk coast. The Romans recognised its importance by building a third
century fort on their embattled ‘Saxon Shore’. The name ‘Caistor’
comes from the Latin ‘castra’ - fort. Long after the Romans had gone home,
a family of landowners settled west of the village of Caister. In 1378 John
Fastolf was born in the manor house that would later become the castle, and
the centre of an extraordinary row over his will. Fastolf, supposed by some to
be the inspiration behind Shakespeare’s legendary Falstaff character, was a
distinguished soldier. He made a fortune fighting in France at Agincourt and
later. After returning from the wars he divided his time between his property
in London and Norfolk. As he aged though, his thoughts turned to the welfare
of his immortal soul.
--  A Place in History,
http://www.edp24.co.uk/content/edp24/norfolk-life/PlaceinHistory/content/20CaisterCastle.aspx
=======================================

I have found that genealogies tend to report that John was born in Coningsby,
Lincolnshire, England, while public scholarly sources, such as that source
above, report he was born on the family's estate in Norfolk.  I have not been
able to account for this discrepancy.

Sources report John's death variously as 5 and 7 November 1459.  It appears
that he died on 54 November and was buried on 7 November. Some genealogies
report his death place as his burial site, St Benet (Abbey Church Cemetery).  
He died in his Castle Caistor.
