Charles Farrar, Jr. married Sarah Bell 24 Sep 1805 in Goochland Co., VA. She was the daughter of Stephen and Leah Bell of Prince Edward Co., VA. The Bell family had moved from Accomack Co. about 1800.

On 22 Aug 1815, James McDearmon, the deputy sheriff conveyed 150 acres in Prince Edward Co., to Charles Farrar (Bk. 15, p331).

On 18 Aug 1817, William Hutton conveyed 370 acres in Prince Edward Co. on "Rough Creek" to Charles Farrar (Bk. 16 p249).

Prince Edward Co., tax records list Charles Farrar with 151 acres in the years 1816-17; with 521 acres in the years 1818-1830; and with 421 acres for the years 1838-45. From 1845 onward, his land was in Appomattox Co. as it was formed from Prince Edward Co. in that year. In 1892 Appomattox Co. lost its records when the court house burned, thus many records from 1845 to 1892 were lost.

The children of Charles and Sarah (Bell) Farrar were: Mary Baker Farrar, b. 13 Aug 1806; Stephen Bell Farrar, b. 02 Jan 1808; William Fletcher Farrar, b. 08 Feb 1809, d. 23 Apr 1855; Ezekiel Baker Farrar (see below); Elizabeth Susannah Farrar, b. 30 Apr 1812; Charles Wesley Farrar, b. 27 May 1813; Josiah Richard Farrar, b.

The home of Charles Farrar, Jr. was located about a mile from Evergreen, VA on a hill facing the Pamplin-Lynchburg Highway from the south, a few miles west of Pamplin, in Appomattox Co., VA.
