Someone wrote last week asking for Gershom Farnsworth and his children.
The given name Gershom (Farnsworth) was not in the Given Name Index of the
book. However, seeing the Winch file and the mention of his parents, I was
able
to find all the entries - He descended from Matthias Farnsworth and wife,
Sarah
Nutting of Groton, MA. Here then is the information on his children and
grand-
children and hope it reaches the person who inquired. Janice Farnsworth
