Ralph Farnum

Our ancestor Ralph Farnum was born in England and emigrated from there to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, probably during the Great Migration of the 1630s with his wife and children. He apparently died young, before reaching the age of 45.

Ralph, his sister, Ede, and his wife, Ann, were part of the puritanical, idealistic Righteous Generation. His children were part of the reactive, nomadic Cavalier Generation.
