Albertus, you posted this same statement on her husband's profile. I'm wondering if that's because you might doubt the existence of a Henry Farnsworth born in 1691? I don't think there was ever a Henry Farnsworth born in 1691. I think the Henry Farnsworth listed in Susannah's will is Thomas Farnsworth born in 1677. From what I can tell, the only source for the 1691 Henry is M.F. Farnsworth's "Farnsworth Memorial II." But even in that book the author states that "One source believes Henry was b. ca. 1675" (page 760). A birth date of 1675 would essentially be Thomas' 1677 birthdate. Additionally, none of the Quaker records of births mention a child being born to Thomas and Susannah in 1691 even though those records were sometimes written after even Susannah died. What are your thoughts? Maybe I'm wrong about there only being one source for the 1691 birth.
