Re: Nancy Farrand, dau, of Bethuel/Rhoda Farrand

docstan3 — 2012-04-12 21:42:18Z

Sorry, I was not aware I was supposed to have check Google.

I found that Nathan, one of Bethuel and Rhoda's children also had a daughter named Nancy. This seems to have been the right Nancy I was looking for. She fits in exactly as Rhoda's Nancy died much earlier - according to one person on the day she married a Mr. Kitchel.

Thank you for your response. I was not aware of it until the other day when I started searching again. Stan D.

Benoni Farrand born 1731 - some answers

SandiegoSuzanne — 2011-11-22 06:18:49Z

I have been working on the brick wall that is Benoni Farrand for a couple of years. Slowly, the fog is lifting. I recently returned from the LDS library in Salt Lake where I spent a week working on this family.
You can find more detail on my tree "Courter Family Tree" (I am still adding documentation there). Below is a short narrative.

http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/5416607/person/-1421448061?pg...

Conclusions thus far:

Benoni Farrand was born 25 Jun 1731 in Northhampton MA to Joanna Allis and Thomas Farrand. This is proven by the actual birth register. The name Benoni was given in the 18th century to children born in tragic circumstances and therefore it is likely he was either born out of wedlock or that his mother died.

Within a few months of his birth, his father married Mary Hall. Mary and Thomas lived in Palmer MA where their children were born.

I do not know what happened to Joanna. There appear to have been two Joanna Allis' living in the Connecticut River Valley area around Benoni's birth. One was Nathaniel Allis' daughter Jemima (also called Joanna) who married Eliakim Root but I do not think she is Benoni Farrand's mother. It appears that she lived all her life in Connecticut.

The other Joanna Allis was the daughter of John and Mary Lawrence. Per the vital records of Northampton, Mary Lawrence died the year after Joanna's birth shortly after the birth of a daughter who also died. John married Bethia(h) Field after Mary's death.

I could find nothing to document Joanna daughter of John's death or marriage to Thomas or anyone else. Her birth however is documented in the birth register of Northampton.

After his birth, Benoni Farrand appears to most likely have been raised by his grandfather and stepgrandmother (Bethia Field). When Benoni was 14 he petitioned to change his guardian to Jonathan Field of Sunderlund a cousin or nephew of Bethia Field Allis. The petition is in the probate records. Unfortunately it does not state who his guardian had been.

Benoni fought in the Seven Years War and achieved the rank of Sergeant. He was under Israel Williams and John Burk's command. John Burk's activities are documented in the history of Bernardston MA. After the War, he married Mary Cambell (I think this is the correct spelling since it was the spelling used in the name of one of her grandchildren). Two children were born in Sunderlund, at least one was born in Deerfield. I have not been able to document the birth of the other children.

During the Rev War, Benoni ran into a bit of trouble. He tried to set up a ferry across the Connecticut and the Sunderland town officials took exception to this. (see description on my tree). Sometime in that same period he was tried as a Loyalist and convicted. However, he stayed in Deerfield about 10 years after the War. There is no indication that he lost property or was jailed. I am trying to get the record of his trial.

There are a few scattered records until he removes to Sudbury VT in about 1790. There, he was the town clerk recording land transactions. His name is all over the recording of deeds. Later he seems to have given this position up but still functioned as the clerk in the town meetings, recording the minutes. Sometime in the late 1790's he drops off the radar in that area. He may have relocated with his son Abraham. I have not been able to document his death.

I have also been doing quite a bit of work on Thomas Farrand and Andrew Farrand (Benoni's uncle). We know that they came from Ulster in 1718 and went from Boston to Worchester to Palmer to Kingstown. Most documents list Andrew since he was the older brother. Thomas also seems to have been traveling up and down the Connecticut River before his marriage.

I have not been able to tie the Farrands to a certain location in Ulster or Scotland. There are published trees on the Jamesons of Scotland and MA which state that a Thomas married Margaret Jameson. I have some of this info on my tree but it is all very tentative.

Let me know what you all think. Be sure to look at my tree for dates and details.

Re: Jared Farrand

MarciaPuskar54 — 2011-05-03 16:15:21Z

Hi Sandra,
I believe we are related. George Farrand who died in Ohio in 1836 left a son Lyman born that same year or so. He then ended up in SD a Civil War vet. and I'm his family line. I would love to go back in history if you have more information. I believe we can trace this line to Thomas Farrand who as born in Charleson or Londonderry, Ireland 1678 and whose son Thomas came to the US in 1718 and settled in Palmer, Mass. Thomas then married Marey Hall daughter of Elisha Hall and Phillippi. Does anyone have more history on these lines?

Re: Lyman Farrand

pathdenver — 2011-05-03 16:09:20Z

Not related. Farrand is a common New Jersey name. I sometimes browse the message boards looking for interesting puzzles. Good luck.

Re: Jared Farrand Family of Vermont Ohio

MarciaPuskar54 — 2011-05-03 15:56:03Z

Hi Ron,
I believe we have a connection in Jared Farrand. He had a son George that died in 1836 the year his son Lyman Farrand was born and Lyman is my great great Grandfather. If you can get me any more information, I would appreciate it.
Thank you!

Re: Lyman Farrand

MarciaPuskar54 — 2011-05-03 15:34:10Z

Thank you so much for your help! Are we related? I've found the Rev. Vet Jared Farrand in Ohio and he had a son George Farrand. I've traced that line back to Ireland. I'm hoping I'm on the right track. George died so young that Lyman was raised by Jemima's brother. My grandmother was Selma Jemima Farrand. Now I know where the name came from.

Re: Jared Farrand Family of Vermont Ohio

MarciaPuskar54 — 2011-04-27 02:33:45Z

I believe this Jared Farrand is the father to George and grandfather to Lyman Farrand. There is a grave in Fairview Park, OH and Jared is a Revolutionary Vet. He was married to Hannah Evans I believe but I would like to confirm this.
Thanks,

Re: marriage

kennedyfarrand — 2011-04-09 22:09:36Z

Hi Babs

George Henry Farrand?

My Grandfather was Arthur Farrand who married Mary Ann Cleworth 1903,on their marriage certificate it states two people present which were Arthur Farrand and Maria Farrand (formaly Seddon),(who married 1901).
I think they were cousins.
Henry Farrand and Jane Farrands children were -
Elizabeth,Joseph,Charles Henry,Annie,Herbert,Henry,Arthur.

Marriage cert 1903 Arthur Farrand states father as Herbert
Farrand.
Marriage cert 1901 Arthur Farrand states father as Charles Henry Farrand.
Census 1911 show both Arthurs living on West Union Street Salford Lancs.

I haven't yet come across a french connection as i still need to confim via birth certificate that my grandfather was the grandson of Henry Farrand and great grandson of Benjamin Farrand born abt 1806 and Elizabeth born abt 1806.

Please can you tell me how you are related?

Regards Susan

Re: Lyman Farrand

pathdenver — 2010-01-30 06:54:04Z

The census records consistently show that Lyman was born in Ohio.

1850 Pierrepont, St. Lawrence, NY
Thadeous C. Coon 32 VT
Tilman 32 VT (actually Filura)
Eliza 8 VT
Edson 3 VT
Elmira 0 VT
Lyman Farrand 12 OH

1850 Colchester, Chittenden, VT
Wm. S. Hyde 36 VT
Jemima Hyde 39 VT
Adeline Hyde 15 OH
John Smith 0 VT

My guess was that Gemima/Jemima was probably a sister of either Thadeus Coon or his wife Filura and they were all probably from Colchester.

1860 Calamus, Dodge, WI
William Hyde 45 VT
Gemima Hyde 48 VT
Adeline Farrand 25 OH
Lyman Farrand 23 OH
John Hyde 10 VT
Alice Hyde 5 NY

Next to the Hydes on the census page:
F.H. Coon 38 VT (Freeman H.)
Cordilca 30 VT
Ada 7 NY
Ida 3 WI
Nina 11/12 WI

I found a family tree on Ancestry for Eber Coon & Olive Starr
Children include Jemima b. 20 Apr 1811
Thaddeus Comfort b. 1817
Freeman H. b. 1822
(This actually lists children and parents as Macoone)

When googling around, I had found a reference to a George Farrand who died in Ohio in 1836*. When I looked on Ancestry, there is a George Farrand (b. 1807 VT) who married Jemima Coon in 1832.

* "The Descendants of Dolor Davis" lists the children of Jared Farrand and Hannah Evans. There is a Lyman Farrand and a George (died 1836).

I hope this is helpful.

Lyman Farrand

MarciaPuskar54 — 2010-01-12 17:38:34Z

I'm trying to trace Lyman Farrand born in Dodge county Wisconsin in 1837. Lyman's mother was Geininsa Farrand Hyde. There is also an Adeleline Farrand that may have been Lyman's sister. Lyman married Elizabeth Buck born in 1848 in Wisconsin. They had 5 boys one of which was my great grandfather William Henry Farrand.

Hi Marcia,
I'm so excited you have more history past Gunder Guttormson Borgard 1808-1888 who ended up in Nunda, SD. I have pictures of the tomb stone. I'm Randi's Cousin. If you e-mail me at npsnow@roadrunner.com, I can attach our famiy history from Gunder in Norway to now. I would love to have the family tree prior to Gunder. I graduated from Bethel U. in St. Paul and I'm now living in Ohio.

Hi Andy,
I'm Randi's cousin working on the Farrand family tree.
We have Lyman 1837-1917) and Elizabeth Buck Farrand family picture with our Great Grandfather William Henry Farrand (1865-1918 married to Annie Bell Converse. There were 4 brothers to William: John, George, Ardell, and Herbert. Ardell had a daughter Eva Belle Farrand 4-19-1902. We would love to get these pictures if it is our family.
Let me know.

Re: So many William Farrands!

MarciaPuskar54 — 2010-01-11 00:32:36Z

We have a family picture of our Great Great Grandfather Lyman and Elizabeth Buck Farrand. Census show he was born in Oh 1837 and died in Madison SD 1917. They had 5 sons Hery Farrand born in Wisconsin 1865, John, George born 1895, Ardell Llewllyn born 1871, and Herbert Farrand.
We can not go back farther and find Lyman's history. We believe Lyman's mother's name was Geininsa Farrand Hyde and Lyman had a syster maybe named Adeleine Farrand. We have a picture of them.Thanks for the information

It took me a while to find out where they ended up but was finally successful - first in Vernon County, Wisconsin and then Summit Township in Lake County, South Dakota. I would be interested in how you are related - Gunder's father is Guttorm Svendsen and I have traced that family back. I look forward to hearing from you.

Re: Max Farrand, the author

SandiegoSuzanne — 2008-03-04 05:07:22Z

Max Farrand is one of the greatest American historians. His work on the proceeding of the Constitutional Convention is cited as authority on the thinking of the founding fathers in Supreme Court cases. Anyone studying Constitutional Law runs into his name constantly. He was a professor at Yale and I believe he has a son with the same name who is now a Yale professor.

Anyone know of Katharine Farrand (da. of John and Margaret Driscoll), b. ca. 1886? Katharine Farrand had three daughters (all in the 1920 census): Katharine H., Margaret A., and Edith. Am wondering if one of the daughters could have been the (single) mother to Katharine E. Farrand (Dyer), mentioned in another thread.

Re: Max Farrand, the author

I believe he is the son of Samuel Ashbel Farrand and Louise Wilson, b. 29 Mar 1869 in Newark, NJ and d. 17 Jun 1945 in Reef Point, Bar Harbour, ME. He was married to Beatrix Cadwalader Jones, a famous landscape architech and neice of novelist Edith Wharton. Max was a Historian, Librarian - Professor at Wesleyan University, CT. He was the grandson of Samuel Farrand and Mary (Polly) Kitchell. I can't seem to find my source for this, but there is a lot of information on his wife, Beatrix Cadwalder Jones, and that's probably where I got it. Hope this helps.
