Parents: Samuel Farrar & Lydia Barrett

Unmarried.

He came to New Ipswich after attaining his majority and settled upon VIII : 1, S. R., a short
distance west from the site of the first church, burned during the temporary desertion of the town in 1748; here he commenced the erection of the large house afterward occupied by his brother Timothy, which was occupied until the closing
years of the nineteenth century before it was replaced by the present building upon the same spot. His position in the town was exceptionally honorable for so young a man, duties being
intrusted to him such as were usually held by older citizens. At the time of his death he was a member of the committee for the building of the third meeting-house.
