THE FAMILY OF JOHH SLY AND HANNAH TIBBITS
John Sly and Hannah Tibbits had nine children that were recorded:
NAOMI SLY (1792/4/9 - 1880/1/28) was born in Vermont and came with her parents to Leeds County where she met and married Archelaus Kenny Farnam (1779/11/24 - 1833/1/24), son of John Farnam and Huldah Kenny. The Farnam family moved from New Hampshire to Vermont and eventually to Leeds County where they settled on the west side of Lower Beverly Lake in Bastard Twp. There Archelaus Kenny Farnam and his wife, Naomi, raised a family of seven or eight children:
Eli ( ) m Abigail Landers
Mary Ann ( ) m Stephen Chipman?
David K. (1816 - 1896) m ?? three times
Eunice (1818 - ) m Samuel Titus
John ( ) m ??
Archelaus K. (1826-1883) m Henrietta Phippenney
Jonathan (1828-1872) m Louisa Wiltse
Thaddeus (1829- ) m Cynthia Halladay
The wounds Archelaus Farnam received at the attack on Gananoque were serious enough that he was awarded a disability pension by the government; he died in 1833 and is buried in the Ripley Cemetery south of Elgin, Ontario. After his death his wife and family continued to live on Lot 29, Concession VIII, Bastard Township where Naomi made her living as a weaver. As the Farnam children reached maturity they left home and emigrated to the United States, settling finally in Nemaha County, Nebraska. Jonathan Farnam and his wife, Louisa Wiltse remained on the homestead with his mother, Naomi, until 1867 when they sold the property and homesteaded in Nebraska where the rest of the family was living. Naomi and Jonathan each bought 80 acres of land, but three years later all the Farnams left Nebraska and resettled in Osborne County, Kansas. Sadly, Jonathan died the following year probably as a result of injuries suffered in an accident with a grain separator in 1869. His wife, Louisa, raised their family on their farm and Naomi lived with her various children until her death in 1880; she is buried in Pleasant Valley Cemetery near Alton, Kansas.
