Thanks for visiting The Farr Corner web site, committed to the research, discovery and sharing of our Farr Family Heritage. There are several different unrelated Farr families in the United States. My research specifically focuses on the descendants of Jacob Farr (Pharr) who settled in Wilkes (later Warren) County, Georgia, sometime before or immediately after the American Revolution.

A genealogical work is never finished, never perfect. Corrections, comments and updates are welcome and invited. Anything that I present as “fact” is done so with documentary evidence. Anything that I present as “opinion” or “conclusion” is my own interpretation which is subject to scrutiny and change. I welcome challenges to my opinions and conclusions.

The Beginnings

My research began tracing my Farr descendants from my father, generation by generation. I relied on memories from living relatives, legal documents, and church records. The earilest Farr I have discovered in my lineage is Jacob Farr (birth unknown and death unproven), and I know little about him before 1784. Documentary evidence demonstrates that Jacob Farr had at least one son, Jacob Jr. Having researched documents in Warren, Wilkes, Columbia and McDuffie Counties in Georgia, I have concluded that is it probable that Jacob Farr had other children, but I do not have documentary conclusive proof. Among these likely children are:

• Jacob Farr, Jr. (dates unknown) m. Sally Hays in Warren County, Georgia, September 8, 1802.*
• John Farr (1771-1858) m. (1) Polly Brooks in 1787; m. (2) Kizziah Armstrong in Warren County, Georgia, March 5, 1820.
• Unknown Son m. Dorcas (Last Name Unknown, possibly Johnson).
• Insel Farr (1781-1857) m. (1) Catharine Smith in Warren County, Georgia, October 4, 1808; m. (2) Narcissa McLoud in Alabama about 1836.
• Salace (Salathael) Farr (1784-1872), never married.
