  • Sir Thomas Farley (Born-1600, Worcester, Eng)
  • ' “Sir Thomas Farley and Lady Jane left England, and arrived in Jamestown in 1624 on the ship Ann. Their first child, a daughter, whom they named Ann, was born soon after their arrival or aboard ship.”
  • -by Carl Boyer
  • Ship Passenger List, the South, (1538-1825) p52
  • Thomas is listed in the “Bicentennial Register of Members” in Cynthia Leonard’s The General Assembly of Virginia, July 30, 1619 to January 11, 1978. He served as a Burgess, representing the Plantations between Archer’s Hope and Martin’s Hundred, in the 1628 General Assembly of the House of Burgess. He served again during the session of 1630, representing Harrop and the Plantations between Anchor’s Hope and Martin’s Hundred. He also served on the Grand Assembly of 1632 as a representative for Anchor’s Hope. The Farley’s were wealthy land owners who owned many slaves. Thomas was not without his faults however, he and several other residents of Anchor’s Hope were in trouble with the law and the church for being drunk and disorderly late at night. Anchor’s Hope was a raucous community during the late 1620’s.- Source: James City County Keystone of the Commonwealth by Martha W. McCartney.
  • It was said Sir Thomas Farley feared “neither God nor beast,” because he was fined 400 lbs. of tobacco for hunting boar on Sunday. On a separate occasion Sir Thomas Farley was fined 100 lbs. of tobacco for “not coming to church on the Sabbath for three months.”
  • ' “Thomas Farley was born in Liverpool. He married the illagitement daughter of the Baron of Sefton. Jane came from a family of ten children. Her family goes back to the royal houses of Europe and includes lots of very interesting historical persons. After the conquest of England by William I, the feudal landholders became responsible for administering justice. The Sefton, Radclyffe, and Dutton families intermarried and all were sheriffs and members of court. Thomas was a member of the House of Burgess. He may have been involved in the legal field and had contact with the Molyneux family that way. Both Thomas and Jane lost all their parents the same year James brother Richard was listed in the 2nd. VA Company Compact. The colonies were opened in 1622 by the King to families. Jane was pregnant at the time and they brought a servant with them to Virginia. Townthorpe is the name of a Manor House in the East Riding of Europe.” -(Internet: Jan. 2000)
  • 'Sir Thomas Farley and his wife Jane left for America in 1623. They brought one servant with them named Nicholas Shotter. They landed on 4 Feb. 1624

  • Information from "TWELVE GENERATIONA OF FARLEYS'" by Jesse Kelso Farley, Junior. For references see data under Thomas Farley born ca 1730-35 died 1796.
  • Thomas Farley, Burgess 19 V, 132 1 H 147-8. Ann Farley was born on ship at sea and named for ship. George Farley was a supporter of Roger Bacon's Rebellion and one of the first martyr to the cause of liberty in Virginia. Barbara Farley was killed by Indians. James Farley was the ancestor to the branch that went to the Carolina's. John and William Farley may have been twins.
  • These records are from Randolph W. Farley, deceased, Nashua, N.H., and have not been confirmed from other sources.
  • 'Thomas and Lady Jane Sefton Farley arrived 2 years before the Royal Colony of Virginia was established and the year after the terrible Indian masacre of 347 inhabitants of the colony. An enumeration of living inhabitants who had survived the muderous plot was taken in 1623. These master-rolls (Original List of Emigrants, Hotten pages 181, 230. Colonial Virginia Mrs. W.G. Stannard, page 43: 34 V 405 T 13:134) shows that Thomas Farley and family had arrived and were living at Archer's Hope, then in James City County: "Living in Virginia, February 16, 1623, Thomas Farley and wife and child, Archer's Hope, James City.
  • 'Thomas Farley came on the "ANN" in 1623. Jane, his wife, and Ann, his child, were on the same ship.
  • Thomas Farley feared neither savage nor devil. Appeared as witness in trial court at James City a year after his arrival. Did not attend church regulary. Arraigned before court in James City in 1626 for missing sabbath services for 3 months while out killing wild hogs in marshes. He was fined 100 pounds of tobacco. (Journal Court of James City Co., Va. August 21, 1626. "Colonial Virginia"--Mrs W.G. Stannard page 328 30 V-265)
  • He owned his own plantation and rented other adjoining lands to produce large quantities of tobacco for English markets. He kept in close touch with his family in his home land and brother, Humphrey, put some of his servants at Thomas' disposal on the plantation. Thomas sent his eldest children, Ann and George, to school in England. (Jounral Court of James City Co., Va. November 1628 24 V - 240 and 241.)
  • As most homes of the time, Thomas maintained a private wharf (Journal Court of James City Count, June 5, 1632-3 31 V - 293) and there is a record of one vessel calling at their plantation for eight tons of tobacco.
  • Records of Wills, death, etc. destroyed in fires at Jamestown at the time of siege by Becon.

  • THE FARLEY FAMILY.
  • Bristol, a place of great antiquity, an important maritime city in the West of England, upon the rivers Frame and Avon, partly in the countries of Gloucester and Somerset, was the early home of one Fabyan Farley. He married Jane Hungerford of Farleigh Castle, Somersetshire . They had seven children, and most of the Farleys now living in America can trace their pedigree to this marriage. The Farley name is one of the oldest in England. It can be traced back to the home of William the Conqueror,
  • http://www.archive.org/stream/onelineoffarleyf00fost#page/2/mode/1up
  • Castle Falaise in Normandy, A. D. 1000. Duke Robert, before starting on his journey of pilgrimage to the Holy Land, left his castle in the custody of William and Walter, as Lords of Falaise, and upon his death, Walter, being the eldest, became the Lord, and William became the Conqueror, as is shown in English history. Walter had a son, William, who went with his half brother to England, as Williamus De Falaise, to whom was given twenty-six lordships in county Devon. In tracing the pedigree of the Farley family, starting with De Falaise, eleven different spellings of the name are found : De Falaise, Ffar-lea, Ffarle, Farle, Fairley, Farlea, Farly, Farlo, Farlegh, Farlee, Farley.
  • Fabyan Farley, who, as mentioned above, married Jane Hungerford, was a

  • descendant of this before mentioned Williamus De Falaise. After his marriage he resided in Torothorpe County, York, England, where he had two sons. 'His first son, Thomas, was born in 1602'. His second son, George, was born in 1615, In the lives of these two sons of Fabyan Farley the American Farleys have special interest. 'Thomas emigrated to Virginia, with his wife and one servant, Nicholas Shotter. Thev landed at Archer's Hook, a projection of land opposite Jamestown, Va., 4 Feb. ,1624, on the ship Anne, the third ship after the May Flower. They had a child', Anne, named in honor of the ship that brought them over. She was the first Farley born in America. But the movements of Fabyan's other son, George, are of the greatest interest to those for whom this brochure

  • is written. He emigrated to America in 1640. He came to this country on the ship Lion, and landed at Charleston or Roxbury. The cause of his coming to this country may be found in the religious persecution of those days, growing out of the differences between Protestant dissenters and the Church of England. Soon after his arrival in this country he moved to Woburn, Mass., where he married 9 April, 1641, Christian Births, a Swede, who had come over in the same ship. She was an orphan, her father having died at sea in the passage over. They lived at Woburn until the year 1653, his name being on the first list of county tax assessed at Woburn, 8 September, 1645, this being the first on record. In 1653 they moved to Shawshin, afterward known as Billerica, Mass., where they ....

  • George landed at Boston in 1640 and became the ancestor of over a thousand Farleys in New England, while Michael came over in 1675, landing at Ipswich, Mass., where he and his two sons, Michael and Mechack started the first Woolen mill in America. His descendents were of a seafaring turn and their deeds during the Revolution were many and interesting.
  • The complete history of Farleigh Castle has been obtained carrying the record back 1850 years to A. D. 50 when it was a Roman camp. No castle in England can show such an unbroken record of owners numbering fifty-two going back to tbe days of King Aethelrid I, when he gave this site to his cheif huntsman Leofwine, calling it Faernleaga. This name changes five times before reaching Farleigh or Farley. Our family has been connected with this castle three times in its history.
