General Notes: Husband - Thomas Farnsworth


He was born in Cayuga County, New York, where he was engaged in farming until 1861, when he moved to Warren County, Pennsylvania, purchasing 500 acres of forest land in Cherry Grove and Watson townships, which became the homestead later owned by his son, Thomas. He began the laborious task of clearing and preparing this land for cultivation, and had so far succeeded as to have 50 acres cleared, when he contracted a cold which produced inflammation of the lungs. This resulted in his death, when he was just in the prime of his life, aged forty-five years, and left to the care of his faithful companion a large family of small children, all of whom she has lived to see grow to noble manhood and womanhood.


General Notes: Wife - Nancy Herron


She died at the age of eighty-three years.
