Title
1860 United States Federal Census - Farr Family
Subject
Public census record including child Ida Farr and her Family
Description
This page of the 1860 U.S. federal census record refers specifically to Fairfield Township in Cumberland County, New Jersey. In this document, Ida Farr, only five years old, and her family are listed as one of the households of the township. Her other family members include her father Eleazer (44), mother Charity (45), sisters Alice (19), Almira (15), and Sarah (8), along with brothers Nathan (10) and Elmer (1). At the time this census was taken, Ida's eldest brother Oren had been married and her older sister Emily had died at the age of eleven only a few years prior.
Eleazer Farr's occupation is listed as "Physician & Clergyman" and it appears that no other members of the family had a formal job. This document also specifies that while taken in New Jersey, all of the Farr children except for Elmer were born in New Hampshire.
