    Notes:

    NOTE: From email from edith.bartley@worldnet.att.net 11/27/97: "There has been a lot of confusion as the date that Ralph and family left England. There was more than one ship in 1635 named the James. Ralph was not on the April ship, he was the ship of the same name which sailed in the summer. Hotten has it right. The passengers were certified as eligible to leave England on July 13, 1635, and the ship would have left soon after, depending on the winds and whatever. I think they arrived in Boston in September, but I don't have that documented. Planters of the Commonwealth by Charles Edward Banks states that the James sailed for New England the latter part of July and arrived in Boston the last week in September. Included in the passenger lists are Ralph Farnham, age 32, barber, destination Ipswich; Mrs. Alice Farnham, 28; Mary Farnham, 7; Thomas Farnham, 4; and Ralph Farnham, 2.

    Also on the same ship was Solomon Martin, age 16, shipwright, destination Gloucester. I have assumed this is the same Solomon Martin who later married Alice Farnham after they both were widowed. She would have been about twelve years older than he. Is this a correct assumption?"

    They settled in Ipswich where Ralph became the first town crier.
