Thomas Farrington

Notes:

Somehow I don't agree that this is the correct placement of this Thomas Farrington who named his sons, viz, Thomas, born about 1740, Benjamin, born about 1742, Robert, born about 1744, Jonas, born May 26, 1754, and Marston, born 1756. The subject Thomas did not name a son Edmund, Edward, Matthew, etc.

Margaret's father Cornelius Marston refers to his daughter Margaret as NOW the wife of Thomas Farrington of Westchester County, and refers to his property at Jamaica, Flushing and "elsewhere."

Meanwhile, we have Thomas Farrington (9) born about 1650, Flushing, who was owed money in 1675 from George Tippett of Yonkers, according to the latter's inventory taken in 1675.

Thomas Valentine, born November 29, 1712, died December 21, 1796, Westchester County, was a son of Matthew Farrington and Hannah Embree, who married Susan Oakley. One of Matthew Farrington's daughters, Jane Farrington, born in Flushing, New York married a John NORRIS.

Until substantiated with further documented information, this cannot be accepted as an accurate genealogy.

Thomas married Margaret Marston about 1735. Margaret (daughter of Cornelius Marston) was born about 1715 in Flushing, Queens County, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
