7 Henry Farnham Biographies

Henry Farnham was of Rochester, Kent, England. His parents' names are not known.[1] Circa 1600 he married Mary, whose last name at birth is not known. They had two children, Ralph and Ede(e) (probably Edith). Henry was a mariner. His last voyage was on the trading ship Moone, owned by the East India Company. Russell Farnham states that navigation logs by "Richard Bragge m mate of the Moone his journal from Cape toward Bantam November the 5th, 1618" reviewed in 1992 at the British Library (India Office Library and Records, L/MAR/A/XXVI T, India) indicate that the ship made a successful easterly voyage around the treacherous Cape of Good Hope.[1] He made his last Will and Testament on December 23, 1618, either in Bantam, Java, or on the return voyage to England, describing himself in the will as "sicke ... in bodie, but of perfecte memory." He died some time after that date and 18 Feb 1619/20, when the will was proved by his widow, Mary.[1] Heirs named in the will were his wife Mary, son Ralph, and daughter Edee, both of whom were still minors (meaning Ralph was under 20 and Edee was under 18).[2] Will The probate indexes for the Archdeaconry of Rochester and the Prerogative Court of Canterbury [PCC] reveal only one relevant Farnham probate, the one for Henry Farnham, which Frank Farnham had already found.
