Notes for George Farrar, Sr.

In 1729, Thomas Jefferson deeded to son-in-law George Farrar the
plantation "Gilly's Mill," which George and his wife Judith occupied for
the next thirty years. Miss Alvahn Holmes wrote in "Some Farrar's Island
Descendants" that "the deed describes the plantation as being in Henrico
County Southside (which later became Chesterfield County), south side of
Swift Creek, both sides of Reedy Run, near Curles...Described as on John
and Frederick Baugh's line, it was also in the neighborhood of the
Jefferson Plantation." During the time that he lived at Gilly's Mill,
George Farrar was active in the community, serving on the jury, acting
as appraiser and processionar of land in 1736. In 1759, George and
Judith Farrar moved to Mecklenburg County, Virginia (formerly Lunenburg
County) to be near her brother, Field Jefferson.
