Son of Ralph and Elizabeth Holt Farnum. Husband of Sarah Sterling Farnum.
Ralph and his brother John were called as witnesses on 7-30-1692 in the famous witchcraft trial of Martha Carrier.
He left Andover MA in 1737 to live with Barrachias in Rumford (Concord) NH.
He conveyed land to Barrachias in Rumford NH (Concord) in Sept of 1737 and since he was old and feeble it is unlikely that he returned to Andover MA to die.
4th great grandfather to Mary Baker Eddy.
