George Farley, a brother of James, landed in Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony, in 1640, and was one of the twenty-nine peti- tioners to the general court of the colony, then residents of the adjacent towns of Con- cord and Woburn, to have set apart as a town a tract of land six miles square on the Merri- mack river, near the Indian plantation of Pawtucket or Wamesit, "as a very comfort- able place to accommodate a company of God's people, and that with God's blessing and assistance they may live comfortably upon and do good to that place for church and commonwealth." This petition, dated May 10, 1653, was granted by the general court May 29, 1655, and the petitioners be- came the founders of the town and church at Chelmsford, and they called the Rev. John Fiske of the church at Wenham to be their pastor.
Michael Farley, brother of James and George Farley, came from England to New ii-14
England in 1675, landing at Ipswich, where he and his two sons Michael and Meshack established at Ipswich the first woolen mill in America.
Noah Webster Farley was born in Brook- line, New Hampshire, May 5, 1822, son of Deacon Christopher and Consentary (Cum- ings) Farley, of Brookline, New Hamp- shire. Deacon Christopher Farley was a native of Hollis, New Hampshire. Noah Webster Farley was fitted for college at Ap- pleton Academy, New Ipswich, New Hamp- shire, but came to Boston in 1845, having de- cided to undertake a business instead of pro- fessional career. He began in the retail dry goods trade in a modest way on Hanover street, Boston, as N. W. Farley & Company, and in 1857 removed to Bowdoin Square, where the firm was Farley, Bliss & Company. In 1863 the firm of Farley & Shepard was formed, doing business on Tremont Row. In 1868 the business was removed to Sum- mer street, and the retail business re- linguished by the new firm, Farley, Amsden & Company, Mr. George D. Harvey, a former clerk, being admitted as a partner that year. In the great fire of November 9, 1872, the stock of goods in the warehouse and store on Summer street went to ashes with the building, and being among those business firms judiciously insured in numerous com- panies, they rented a small store on Chaun- cey street, and began rebuilding on the old foundations on Summer street, and the au- tumn of 1873 found the firm in a new building and with every appliance for carrying on an increasing business. In 1874 a change in the partners caused the adoption of a new firm name, and Farley, Harvey & Company came into existence. In 1878 the demands of busi- ness forced them into larger quarters on the corner of Chauncey and Bedford streets, and here they carried on a constantly growing business for seventeen years, and in 1895 they took possession of their still more ex- tensive store, 141 Essex street, where the busi- ness is still (1907) carried on by Mr. Harvey and Mr. Farley's two eldest sons, under the same firm name. Mr. Farley died December 28, 1891.
Noah Webster Farley was a man of un- usual insight, and possessed the true com- mercial instinct. At the time of the great fire in Chicago, October 8, 1871, he realized the tremendous demands thrown upon insur- ance companies at such times, and with pro- phetic instinct determined to provide for the safety of his own business in the event of

such a disaster visiting Boston, and he pro- ceeded to cancel all his existing policies and instructed his brokers to distribute the risks in small lots to different companies through- out the world. His forethought proved to be wisdom when Boston was visited by its great fire the next year, and Farley, Harvey & Company were then able to realize over ninety-six per cent. of their entire insurance, and the disaster of fire gave to the firm a tremendous advantage in trade. The event of the civil war found Mr. Farley a ready and willing helper in the cause of relief to the soldiers in the field. He was in Chicago at the time of the battle of Pittsburg Landing, April 6-7, 1862, when the Federal losses were about 13,047. men killed and wounded, and he at once joined the forces of the Christian Commission under the leadership of Dwight L. Moody, and repaired to the battle field to minister to the wounded and dying, irre- spective of the uniform in which they were clad.
He married, October II, 1849, Permelia Hammond, daughter of Stephen Thayer, of New Ipswich, New Hampshire, a prominent manufacturer, and lived in Boston up to 1874, when he removed to Newton, where he served on the board of aldermen in 1884 and 1885. While a citizen of Boston he was a member of the common council 1867, 1868 and 1869. He was a Whig and then a Re- publican in party politics. The children of Noah Webster and Permelia Hammond (Thayer) Farley were: Arthur Christopher Farley (q. v.); William Thayer Farley (q. v.); Frederick Webster Farley; Edith Permelia Farley; and Walter Stephen Farley.
Arthur Christopher Farley, eldest son of Noah Webster and Permelia (Hammond) Farley, was born in Boston, Massachusetts, March 13, 1851. He attended the Phillips Grammar School, Boston; the Chauncey Hall School for Boys, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the class of 1872. He was employed by the dry goods firm of Farley, Amsden & Company, of which his father was senior partner, and in 1880 he was admitted as a partner. His prominence in the mercantile business of Boston, and the high standing of the house of which he was a member, gave him places in the various trade associations of the city, and he is now treasurer of the Boston Merchants' Associa- tion, and a director of the Boston Board of Trade, and of the Home Market Club of Bos- ton. He gave his service to the common- wealth as a member of the Fourth Battalion,
Massachusetts Volunteer Militia. He is a Republican, and active in the work of ad- vancing the interests and principles of the party at each recurring election. He was a member of the Park Street Congregational Church of Boston up to the time of his re- moval to Allston, when he associated with the working members of the church there, and on removing to Auburndale, Newton, transferred his services to the church in that village. He is secretary of the Board of Ministerial Aid, and an officer in the Ameri- can Congregational Association, a director in the Congregational Church Union, and a member of the Congregational Club. He is. a member of Joseph Warren Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons. His club affiliations include membership in the Appalachian Mountain Club, Brae Burn Country Club, the Boston City Club, Economic Club, Trade Club of Boston, Newton Boat Club and Twentieth Century Club.
Mr. Farley was married in Boston, March 9, 1882 to Helen, daughter of Colonel Charles Hastings and Emily Catherine (Cutts) Judd, of Honolulu, a graduate of Mills College, California. Her mother was a native of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The chil- dren of Arthur Christopher and Helen (Judd) Farley are: Ruth, born in Allston, Massa- chusetts, October 28, 1883; graduate of New- ton high school, class of 1900, and then gave three years to travel and study in Europe. Emily, born in Allston, January 17, 1885, graduate of Newton high school and Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, New York, class of 1909. Charles Judd, born Allston, Septem- ber 6, 1891, Arthur Francis, born Auburn- dale, August 16, 1898. These children, with their parents, reside at 251 Central street, Auburndale, Newton, Massachusetts.
William Thayer Farley, second son of Noah Webster and Permelia (Hammond) Farley, was born in Boston, Massachusetts, January 9, 1855. He received his school training in the public schools of Boston and then com- pleted a full classical and military course at Briar Cliff Military Academy, Ossinning-on- the-Hudson, New York, and on graduating he became attached to the Fourth Battalion Massachusetts Volunteer Militia. In 1874 he became an employee in his father's firm, Far- ley, Harvey & Company, Boston, and in 1891 he was admitted as a partner, and with his brother, Arthur Christopher, became prom- inently identified with the business interests of the city of Boston. He is a member of the Boston Merchants' Association, of the
531

Bostonian Society, and of the Trade Club of Boston. He is a charter member of the Newton Boat Club, and of the Brae Burn Country Club; and a member of the Appal- achian Mountain Club, and of the Episco- palian Club of Eastern Massachusetts. He has been vestryman since 1890, and is now warden of the Church of the Messiah, Pro- testant Episcopal, of Auburndale. He is a trustee and a member of the executive com- mittee of the Newton Hospital. His political affiliation has always been with the Republi- can party.
He was married in Tarrytown, New York, November II, 1886, to his cousin, Marion Adelaide, daughter of Stephen H. Thayer, a New York banker and poet. She was a graduate of Smith College, and her family has a remarkable military record, as four of her uncles were members of the Seventh Regiment, New York National Guard, one of these being surgeon of the regiment. Her grandfather was one of the members of the Home Guard of the same celebrated regi- ment. Their great-grandfather and great- great-grandfather were military men, one of them entering the ranks at the age of nine- teen years, and was a captain of minute men at the Concord fight of April 19, 1775. The American immigrant, Thomas Tayer (or Thayer), came to Braintree, Massachu- setts Bay Colony, with his wife, Marjorie Wheeler, to whom he was married April 13, 1618, and their three sons, Thomas, Ferdin- ando and Shadrach, from the parish of Thombury, Gloucestershire, England, and was one of the proprietors of Braintree, 1639, and was admitted as a freeman in 1647. The children of William Thayer and Marion Ade- laide (Thayer) Farley are: Mortimer Thayer, born in Auburndale, Newton, Massachusetts, October 19, 1896; and Barbara, born in Auburndale, September 13, 1898. They re- side with their parents at No. 330 Central street, Auburndale, Newton, Massachusetts.
There were several immi- HOWARD grants of the surname How- ard in New England before 1650. At least three of them were appar- ently brothers or closely related. Nathaniel Howard, of Dorchester, was admitted to the church as early as February 28, 1641, and admitted a freeman May 10, 1643; removed to Salem, Massachusetts. Robert Howard was a proprietor of Dorchester as early as 1639, and was admitted freeman in February,
1662; was a town officer of Dorchester, re- moving about 1668 to Boston; among other children he had a son, Nathaniel Howard, baptized February 6, 1641-42. The third of this family was William, who resided at Salem, Wenham and Topsfield, Massachu- setts; signed as witness to an inventory of Samuel Smith in 1642; was admitted freeman May 13, 1640; deposed in 1661, aged about fifty-two, and in 1666, aged about fifty-seven years. Wife Rose was admitted to the church at Salem, May 10, 1640, and their son Nathaniel baptized November 13, 1642; prob- ably the Nathaniel mentioned below. We find William Howard on record as an attor- ney for R. Bellingham and deputy marshal general in an action in the Essex court in 1666. He was probably at Ipswich, Massa- chusetts, also in 1649 and later.
(I) Nathaniel Howard, son of William Howard, was baptized in Salem, Massachu- setts, May 10, 1640.

Walter Haynes, the immi- HAYNES grant ancestor, was born in Sutton Mandifield, Wiltshire, England, in 1583. He also owned a house and other buildings on the island of Purbeck in the southeast part of Dorsetshire. He came to New England in the ship "Confi- dence," the same ship with Peter Noyes, yeo- man, of Penton, Southampton, with his wife Elizabeth, sons under sixteen years of age, Thomas, John and Josias; daughters Suf- france and Mary; and servants John Bland- ford, John Rediat and Richard Biddlecome, arriving in Boston in 1638. His family and that of Peter Noyes intermarried. About a year after his arrival in this country Haynes removed from Watertown, Massachusetts, to Sudbury, having a grant of land December 22, 1639. He was one of the foremost citi- zens and was on the first board of selectmen in 1639, and served the town ten years alto- gether as selectman. He was one of the first, perhaps the very first, to build on the west side of the Sudbury river, and is believed to have built the Haynes garrison house, which was near the old Haynes home. The garrison house stood until the middle of the nine- teenth century. The Haynes homestead was in the northeast section of the town in the section called the Pantry district. Hon. C. F. Gerry, a lineal descendant of Walter Haynes, has written a charming poem entitled "Pantry School." (See History of Sudbury, p. 510). Haynes was admitted a freeman May 13, 1641; deputy to the general court in 1641-44- 48-51. He was commissioner to end small causes 1645. He was a member of the An- cient and Honorable Artillery Company (See Whitman's history of the company, 1842, P. 97). Haynes had learned the trade of linen weaver. He died February 14, 1664-65. His will is dated May 25, 1659, with codicil dated March 4, 1663-64, and proved April 4, 1665,

bequeathing to wife Elizabeth; sons Thomas, John and Josiah; son-in-law Thomas Noyes; son-in-law Roger Gourd and "my daughter his wife" a tenement in Shaston, Dorsetshire, England. The will of Alice Haynes, his mother, is printed in the New England Genealogical Register (vol. XXXIX., p. 263). A Thomas Haynes died in Sudbury, July 28, 1640. The will of Walter Haynes states that his son Thomas was then away from home. Many of the facts for this sketch were pre- served by John Haynes, born 1684, and writ- ten when he was nearly ninety years of age. The manuscript is now, or was lately, in pos- session of a descendant, Frederick Haynes Newell. The historian of Sudbury (Hudson) writes of the Haynes family: "The Haynes family is well known and quite numerous in Sudbury. Members have lived in various parts of the town, and have held prominent offices civil and military." Children of Wal- ter and Elizabeth Haynes: I. Thomas. 2. John, born 1621, mentioned below. 3.

He had been an old line Democrat and voted with his party for a time. At first there was no choice, but finally, when but one vote was needed, Haynes joined the famous coalition of Democrats and Free Soilers, defeated the Whig party and elected Charles Sumner United States senator. "By this ballot," says Mr. Hudson in his history of Sudbury, "Sumner went to the United States senate where he championed liberty's cause, and stirred up those elements that burst forth in Civil war and made the whole land free. What an influence thus went out from this quiet place, and how changed our nation's history by this silent act." Mr. Haynes be- longed to the old Haynes family and had a numerous progeny, some of whom still live on the old homestead. He married (first), December 19, 1798, at Sudbury, Dorcas Jewett, who was born April 12, 1782. He married (second), August 21, 1803, at Sud- bury, Mary Gleason, who was born January 27, 1784.
