John Farrar Birth: 1631, Henrico County, Virginia, USA Death: 1685, Henrico County, Virginia, USA John Farrar, son of William and Cecily (Bailey-Jordan) Farrar was born on Farrar's island, Henrico Co., VA (see accompanying map for location and historical marker). He was born after September 1631, the date of sale of his father's inheritance in England. He was referred to as Lieutenant Colonel John Farrar. At an early age, in Oct 1649, he was deeded 200 acres of land by his brother, Col. William Farrar II. The land was called "Coald's Field" next to glebeland of Varina. His brother's, William Farrar II, will gave him another 500 acres. He also operated a 200 acre tract on the Appomattox River purchased from Mr. Thomas Batte Sr. whose widow, Temperance, married his nephew, John Farrar. Lt. Colonel John Farrar, along with his nephew, Major William Farrar III, was appointed executor of his brother's (William Farrar II) will in 1678. Unmarried, childless and long a prominent citizen of Henrico County, he held a number of important offices. He was very active in the militia, a coroner, a burgess in 1680, 1683 and 1684; Justice of the Peace of Henrico County and at the time of his death in 1685, held the prestigious high office of sheriff of the county. He received 5,500 lb. of tobacco in 1683 as salary for the office of Burgess. This remuneration covered not only his salary but the cost "boats and rowers, ferryage (ferriage) for his horse and all expenses while in Jamestown". In addition to his public service, records show (noted above) he also operated two separate plantations. His will was probated 01 Apr 1685 and his nephews, William and Thomas Farrar, were the executors. He was buried on Farrar's Island, Henrico Co., VA. Although the site is unknown presently, there was probably a marker originally.
