James Farlow was born in 1645, this is known from his statements in a deposition taken in connection with a boundary dispute between Virginia and North Carolina. Based upon his testimony we know he moved to Carolina in 1681 and prior to this he lived in Virginia (Appomattox and Wyanoake) for 14 years, from 1667 to 1681. ^[7]

On March 15, 1672/3 James Thweate received 650 acres for transporting 13 people, including a James Farloe. Thweate also gave a deposition in the same boarder dispute as James Farlow in 1711. ^[8]

On March the 30th 1721 James Farlow Jr. showed that his father James Farlow obtained a patent for 250 acres lying in Chowan precinct for lands that become "lapsable for want of due seeding and planting, the Petitioner therefore prays a Lapse patent for the same." ^[9]

James Farlee of Chowan Precinct, North Carolina mentions his wife, but not her name, in his will. However, he left all of his lands to "James Bentley, son of Sarah Bentley". This will is dated May 1, 1727 and probated May 15, 1727.^[10][11]
