Notes |
- When John Farrington of Dedham arrived in New England or was born is not certain, but he was in Dedham, Mass in 1646 when he purchased land there. He could possibly be a son of John Farrington that came to Barbados about 1627. There was a John Farrington of age in Lynn, 1640. There was also a John Farrington in Boston of age in 1639. It is not likely he is the son of Edmund Farrington of Lynn, although he could be a cousin or perhaps nephew. (Edmund's son John was born 1624 - much too late and separate marriage records exist for that John Farrington who died before 1666.)
John Farrington was a townsman of Dedham, Mass. when on 1 Nov 1646 he and Richard Wheeler were granted two acres of land. In 1648 they purchased eight acres. He was appointed woodreeve in 1654 and 1657, and to view fences in Purgatory Playne in 1658. In 1660 he was one of the men selected to lay out the way between Dorchester and Dedham.
