NameJonathan FARNSWORTH 43
Birth Date1 Jun 1675
Birth PlaceGroton, Massachusetts
FatherMatthias FARNSWORTH (~1615-1689)
MotherMary FARR (~1637-1717)
Misc. Notes
The marriage shown here between Jonathan Farnsworth and Ruth Shattuck is almost certainly incorrect and needs to be revised. It is certain that Jonathan Farnsworth had a wife named Ruth, and that John Shattuck has a daughter Ruth, but it is unlikely that these two Ruths are the same. See the 2nd Torrey supplement which apparently stated that Jonathan’s wife was definitely not a Shattuck. The erroneous connection apparently comes from conjectures made initially by Lemuel Shattuck, which were then reported as confirmed in later works such as The Farnsworth Memorial.
