Jonathan FARREN was born circa 1797, location & parents unknown, and died 5 May 1770 in Newton, NH, where he is buried in the Old Town Cemetery.

On 10 December 1719, he married Sarah WELLS, grand-daughter of Rev. Thomas Wells, in Amesbury.

The earliest known record of him is dated 30 March 1719 when Jonathan's house was referenced in a description of a lot of land granted to a WEED in the Children's Land Division.

Evidence suggests he was probably apprenticed or indentured to Thomas Beadle of Amesbury.

I'm a 9th generation descendant of Jona. FARREN/FERREN, have published a newsletter devoted to research on him for 10 years, and would be delighted to learn of any earlier records of him. I'm especially interested in learning his date & place of birth and the names of his parents.

I suspect he may be the John Fern born 1695 in Lynn, MA, to John & Susanna FEARN or FERN, do you have any evidence of such a connection? Thanks!
