Ann was born about 1618 (based on a deposition by "Ann Faro, wife of Georg Faro, aged about forty years," which Ann swore in Ipswich court on September 29, 1658,[1]), probably in England.
She was married to George Farrar on February 16, 1644.[2][3]
Disputed Father Ann is sometimes shown as the daughter of John Whitmore of Wethersfield and Stamford. This seems to be based purely on their last name, and is not supported by evidence. The connection was severed in April 2023. For a full discussion see: Mary (Whitmore) Brewer (abt.1626-1684)
Possible Siblings It is highly likely that Ann was a sister or at least related to Mary (Whitmore) Brewer (abt.1626-1684) who married John Brewer in Ipswich in 1647. She could possibly be related to Francis Whitmore (aft.1623-1685) of Cambridge. In the extended family of Francis' likely English origins, there are other Whitmore/Farrow marriages.
Possible baptism: There is a baptism for an Ann Whitmore, daughter of John 30 Jul 1611 in Albury, Surrey, England.[4] Two problems: 1) the identification partially relies on her father being John, for which there isn't any evidence and 2) there is a 7-year discrepancy with her stated age in her deposition.
