Further Matthias line research completed
Posted by: FARNSWORTH One-Name Study
        Date: July 04, 1999 at 12:15:41    of 333 

The One-Name Study is delighted to advise the following information to all Matthias descendants, following in depth research in original registers and transcripts of registers made in the 1930s.  
1. Grandfather of Matthias was Elizeius FARNWORTH, born January 1561/2 in Eccles, Lancashire, ENG

2. Grandmother of Matthias was named either Margreta or Margareta. The Christian name and surname were almost indecipherable even under a strong magnifying glass. She was baptised at Eccles parish church in the summer of 1564.

3. Elizius and Margreta married in September 1582 in Eccles parish church.

You may feel that this information is already around on familysearch.com, but we do not necessarily accept the LDS indices, preferring to check out the original registers where possible. The original transcribers of the Eccles church registers have our utmost admiration as they were really hard to read, even under infra-red light.

/////////////////
Pam Farnsworth   7-7-04  attachment
The story of the Phaneuf family could start with these words: Once upon a time... Adventure mingled with feelings give to this patronyme an unique flavor. It starts with the birth of Matthias in England, in the small town of Farnworth near Manchester. Of Anglican faith, he is influenced as others by the stern religious precepts that drive him to join the Puritans. One can see him aboard the Mayflower, reaching the Atlantic coast in December 1620, but considering his age, this is unlikely. Nevertheless, Matthias Farnsworth lives in America around 1628. 
It is in Lynn, Massachusetts, that he first settles, and then moving with his family to Groton, Massachusetts. Weaver at first, he becomes land-clearer, encroaching on the forest to gain farmland in order to make a living for his three children born of a first marriage and seven others of his second marriage with Mary Farr. Matthias dies in 1689, followed by his wife in 1717. 
To follow the track of the Phaneufs, it is necessary to focus on Matthias, second child of the first Matthias. Matthias II is born in Lynn in 1649 during his father's first marriage with a woman whose name is still unknown. In 1681, he marries Sara Nutting who bears him at least five children 
Among these, a third Matthias, born in Groton on August 6, 1690. Toward 1700, the family lives in the vicinity of Deerfield (in fact in Groton) Massachusetts. At that place, it is attacked by surprise in one of the numerous Canadian raids against New England villages. On August 11, a teenager is captured by the Indians. 
This teenager is Matthias III, son and grandson of the Matthias Farnsworth. He doesn't read nor write. Furthermore, he doesn't speak French nor the language of the indian tribe that adopts him. The child's fate seems to arouse the interest of the French who make attempts to purchase his freedom. In doing so, they have two goals: convert him and, if possible, integrate him to their society. 
The priests of the Seminary of Saint-Sulpice in Montreal obtain Matthias's freedom. On January 10, 1706, he is baptized. His godfather is Claude de Ramezay, governor of Montreal, and his godmother is Élisabeth Souart, wife of Charles Le Moyne de Longueuil. To his forename is added his godfather's. The patronyme undergoes its first distortions: Farnsworth becomes Farneth. 
In October of the same year, Mathieu-Claude Farneth asks for his letters of naturalization concurrently with "Jean Thomas Charpentier, English; Louis-Marie Strafton, gunsmith; Jean Laha, farmer; Paul Otés, shoemaker; Guillaume James, farmer; André Fray, farmer; Jean Uss, farmer, Jean Making, farmer; Guillaume Straylord, farmer; Jean Ohe, farmer; Thomas Hurt" and others. 
The documents rescued from oblivion in 1912 by Brother Elie, teacher at Mont Saint-Louis College, as well as researches done by descendants of Matthias-Claude Farnets, show the ancestor being given, on July 19, 1711, a first grant of land by his adoptive Gentlemen of the Seminary and more especially the priest Messire François Vachon of Belmont.
