Hi Terri
I am very insterested in Absalom Faris.I know there are several.The earliest seems to be an Absalom who md Nellie and they lived in NC just across the state line from SC.
Please write to me at [email protected]
I know that Wm Farris who md a Rachel ? left will and names 3 sons:Wm, Absalom, and Benjamin, and dau Susanna.
Absalom and Susanna apparently went to SC.The older Wm (SR) is a Wm found in early Henrico records.His father was probably Richard Ferres SR.He appears to maybe be the Wm who got 50 acres on White Oak Swamp in 1690 and who is on 1704 Rent rolls.His will in the 1740s is the same time frame as Richard JR will so I think of these two men as contemporaries.I have a file on Absalom and would like to compare notes.
