• Notes

  Elizabeth (Martin or Newhall) Farrington There is conflicting information on whether Elizabeth, the wife of Edmund Farrington was of the family Martin or Newhall. In an email to me, dated 1/1/1997, Margery Freas writes, An article in The American Genealogist (Jan 1991) states that Edmund (from Olney, not Oney) married Elizabeth New(h)all, a possible sister of Anthony and Thomas New(h)all who came to Lynn, MA from Olney in 1638. The suggestion is made that Elizabeth was perhaps Elizabeth Martin who had married a brother of Anthony and Thomas before marrying Edmund. There was a Robert Martin in Olney bucks who died in 1656. If she was a Martin, that would account for son Edward naming a son "John Martin Farrington." In an email to me dated 1/5/1997, Arthur Farrington writes, I have it like Margery H. Freas, MARTIN. I feel she married the brother of Anthony and Thomas New(h)all before marrying EDMUND and was the daughter of Robert Martin of Olney, Bucks, who died in 1656. Her son, Edward did have a son named John Martin Farrington. In an email to me dated 1/11/1997, Vickie (Elam) White writes, I took a look at the Farrington web page today1. Unfortunately, nothing I saw on this page convinced me of the above statement concerning a first marriage for Elizabeth (NEWHALL) FARRINGTON. A descendancy table is shown with NO CITATIONS. I'm not saying the page needs to have exhaustive footnoting, but it would be nice to have at least a list of the sources used in the document from which the table is taken, especially if what is shown varies markedly from everything else in print about Elizabeth. Certainly the more recent researchers have not found any reason to think that Elizabeth was previously married. Is there a will somewhere for Robert MARTIN? Or a marriage record or a will for some other NEWHALL man who died by 1613 and who was married to a woman named Elizabeth? The Olney and surrounding parish records don't seem to mention any men other than Anthony and Thomas, although there is mention of a "wydow Newell" in Olney in 1604/5 per the TAG 65 article. Elizabeth would have been 19 in 1605, so she certainly could have had an early marriage and widowhood. But we need more proof. From: http://www.colonialmassgen.com/Eliz1Farr.html
