Biography

Henry Farrar died young.

Henry, the 5th of five sons, was born to Jacob Farrar III and Hannah Hayward in Colony of Massachusetts Bay in 1674.

Two-year-old Henry was among those killed by Indians in the Lancaster Raid.

The Lancaster Raid was the first in a series of five planned raids on English colonist towns during the winter of 1675 as part of King Philip's War. Metacom, known by English colonists as King Philip, was a Wampanoag sachem involved in leading and organizing Wampanoag warriors during the war. Teaming up with Nipmucs and Narragansetts, Wampanoag warriors were able to successfully raid the town of Lancaster, securing provisions and prisoners to help them carry onward into their winter offensive.
