George Farr, the father of Mary Farr, is named in the letter of instructions sent from the company in London to the officials at Salem, as a shipwright sent out by them in that business in 1629. He appears, however, to have given up shipbuilding very early, and to have engaged as a land owner in farming in Lynn, near the place where Matthias Farnsworth had land.
George had several children who survived him, one of whom married Nicholas Hutchins, then of Lynn, who, moved to Groton soon after the earliest settlement there. Nicholas Hutchins purchased land adjoining to that owned by Matthias Farnsworth, and lived upon it.
