My 9x great grandfather Ralph Farnham Jr was born in England in 1633 and came to Massachusetts with his parents on the James in 1635.The family eventually moved to Andover where Ralph Jr. married his wife Elizabeth Holt, daughter of Nicholas Holt and Elizabeth Short. Apparently the two families had been fellow passengers on the James.
Ralph Jr and Elizabeth had ten children, all born at Andover. Ma. Four married Holt cousins:
