Dear friend,  I am forwarding a group of Farr will's posted onthe internet.  Scroll to the Ephraim Farr will; he died in1784.  His daughter is the one who married James Wilson. Thereis also a David Wilson referenced in the wills.  Yes, my Farrscould have come from either N. C. or Georgia.  Look over the otherwills from Georgia.
I'll send more as I think of it.  Thanks for all the informationyou sent me to research.

James Wilson Farr b.1799and his brother
George Washington Farr b. 1812who migrated to MS. George had a son named

David Dickson Farr, and David had a son

David Jr. b.1874who fought in Civil War in a Mississippi division called the ConfederateRifles. [John M. Gwin Note: Itseems to me that it must have been David Sr. who was in the Civil War,since the war ended nine years before David Jr. was born.]
