<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My wifes great-grandmother is Sarah (Farnsworth)
Creighton, born to Reuben and Eunice (Earle) Farnsworth in May 1842. I did
not find mention of a daughter named Sarah born to Reuben and Eunice
Farnsworth in either Farnsworth Memorial or on any of the many web
sites devoted to the Matthias Farnsworth family. I am posting
the following information from my research of Sarah Farnsworth. The
1850 Census of Westford Township, Chittenden County, Vermont shows the
following:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The 1860 Census Index shows Reuben in Lake
County, Illinois. A search of Illinois Marriages shows Sarah Farnsworth
and John R Creighton getting married in Cook County on July 12 1867. John
Creighton's 1st wife Martha Ann Keefer passed away December 03, 1866 leaving
John with one child, Isabella. John and Sarah's 1st child, Ida U.
Creighton was born to them in 1868. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I will post more on John and Sarah
(Farnsworth) Creighton later. Sarah's death certificate shows she passed
away July 04, 1906 at Spokane, Spokane County, Washington. Sarah and John
are burried at Greenwod Memorial Cemetery, Spokane, Spokane County,
Washington. I hope this information is of value to some of the fellow
Farnsworth researchers.</FONT></DIV>
