Edmund Farrington, one of Rev. William Worcester's parishioners, from Olney, Bucks, England, came in the "Hopewell," 1634, from London, at the age of 47. His wife Elizabeth was 49, and children Sarah 14, Matthew 12, John 11, and Elizabeth 8. He was one of the early settlers on Long Island, in 1640, and located at Flushing. 1 July, 1675, his widow was confirmed as executrix. 24 June, 1678, Dorothy, widow, and executrix of the will of Edmund Farrington, late of Flushing, having died intestate, and her eldest son, John Farrington, making application, letters of administration were granted him. This would seem to show that Edmund had two sons named John, one by wife Elizabeth who, according to Savage, died in Lynn, 2 May, 1666, and one by Dorothy, which latter may have been the John, a soldier in King Philip's war.

Dorothy, the widow, was the daughter of Thomas Bowne who came to Boston in 1649, and whose son, John Bowne, settled at Flushing, L. I.
