Biography
From www.shaweb.net/
GenWeb/ WebHist/
Pedigree/ 6320.htm
'John Farnsworth, the second son and the third child born, 1641-2. He was the most prominent of Matthias's sons. He married 8 DEC 1686 to Hannah Aldis, born 4 JUL 1666 in Dedham, Mass., daughter of John and Sarah (Eliot) Aldis. He had 16 children which were: Abigail, John, Daniel, Joseph, Abigail, Uriah, Amos, Eunice, Sarah, Hannah, John, Jeremiah, Hannah, Rachel, Sarah. It is remarkable that though John Farnsworth had five sons (three of whom lived to be married), he had but only one grandson, and he died in childhood, so there are no living descendants of his bearing the name of Farnsworth.'
