Mary Farnum
Our ancestor Mary Farnum was born in England and emigrated from there to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, probably during the Great Migration of the 1630s as a child with her parents and siblings.
Mary, her siblings, and her husband were part of the reactive, nomadic Cavalier Generation. Her parents were part of the idealistic, puritanical Righteous Generation. Her children were part of the heroic, civic-minded Glorious Generation.
