John Ferrar, the elder of London, Esq., of Croxton, Co., Lincolnshire, and St. Mary, Aldermanbury, London, was the younger son of William Ferrar of Ewood in Midgley Township, Parish of Halifax Co., Yorkshire, by Margaret, daughter of Hugh Lacey, Esq., of Brearley Hall, Halifax Co., Yorkshire. They had four sons, John, Henry, William and Humfrey.
John Ferrar, Esq., married Cecily (Sissely) Kelke at St. Sepulchre's without Newgate (see attached photo), London by license dated 26 Aug 1574. She was born before 1552 and was a daughter and co-heiress of William Kelke. Her mother was Thomasine Skerne, co-heiress of Percival Skerne, a fishmonger, and his wife, Joan. NOTE: St. Sepulchre's without Newgate, in medieval times stood just outside ("without") the now-demolished old city wall, near the Newgate.
FYI: We are indebted to Miss Alvahn Holmes for the above information. Prior to the research for her 1972 groundbreaking book, "The Farrar's Island Family and its English Ancestry", all references, for many decades, to William Ferrar, (I)'s [1583-1637] parentage indicated his father was Nicholas Ferrar, the wealthy London merchant who also was a prominent member of the Virginia Company. The confusion arose because Nicholas Ferrar also had a 3rd son named William Ferrar who was also a London barrister. This William Ferrar was admitted to the London bar about 3 months after William Farrar, the emigrant to Virginia. Nicholas Ferrar's son, William Ferrar, died in 1620, unmarried, without issue. NOTE: William Ferrar, (I), the emigrant to Virginia, changed the spelling of his last name from "Ferrar" to "Farrar".
In a letter dated 17 Jan 1619, Nicholas Ferrar of London and Little Giddings, refers to William Farrar of Virginia as "Cozen Farrer". Complete information on proving the parentage of William Farrar I of Virginia and having it accepted and recorded by the English "Official Examiners of the College of Arms" can be obtained from Miss Alvahn Holmes' 1972 book, which is still in print (See source #3 below).
In a letter dated 24 June 1966 to Miss Alvahn Holmes from Mr. Rowland Bretton (Honourary Secretary of the Halifax Antiquarian Society and Fellow of the Heraldic Society), he states that if there was any blood relationship between John Ferrar the Elder of London, Esq. and the Ferrars of Little Gidding it would be slight. Little Giddings was owned by Nicholas Ferrar.
Councillor William Farrar, (I), who was baptized on 28 Apr 1583 at Croxton, Lincolnshire was the 3rd son of John Farrar, the elder of London, Esq. William emigrated from England to Virginia in 1618 aboard the "Neptune". His age was recorded as 31 Y/O at the 1623/4 muster when he was living at Jordan's Journey which was an error; he was 41 Y/O. In his 1628 will, John Farrer, the Elder of London, Esq., bequeathed property in Great Amwell, Hoddesdon and Broxburne, Herefordshire, and 20 Pounds annuities from the Farrar estate, "Ewood" in Yorkshire to his son, William Farrar, (I) of Virginia, and in a codicil dated 24 Apr 1628, he leaves William (I) "of Virginia" 50 Pounds "on his return into England" and if he be not living it should be reserved for his wife and children. William did return briefly alone to England for on 06 Sep 1631 William Farrar of London, Gent., by a Deed of Sale, sold his brother, Henry Farrar, of Reading, Berkshire for 200 Pounds the properties and annuities so bequeathed. Since his father's, John Farrar, will had reserved these bequests to William's wife and children, the names of "Cecily his wife and Cecily and William his children" appear in the deed as they relinquished their rights to his inheritance. William and Cecily Farrar's third child, LTC John Farrar (1631-1685), wasn't mentioned due to his birth occurring in Virginia shortly after the transaction in England. (William Farrar, (I) had married Cecily (__?__) Baley Jordan Farrar in 1625 two years before the death of his father, John Ferrar, the elder of London, Esq.) NOTE: Intellectual dishonesty frequently rears its ugly head in the case of the parentage of Cecily (__?__) Baley Jordan Farrar. Stating theory as fact without qualification doesn't make it so but it misleads the uninformed who will further propagate it. Absolutely no record of Cecily's maiden name, the names of her shipboard chaperones or the names of her parents or guardians in Virginia exists but there are many unprovable theories stated as fact. This misinformation is especially seen repeated in Family Trees on Ancestry.com where the name "Reynolds" is a favorite for her maiden name, although "Pierce" and even "Jordan" are proposed.
In October 1636, Humfrey, one of William's brothers, willed property to his brothers, Henry and John, but makes no mention of William who is known to have died prior to June 1637, actual date unknown.
