Of the town of Hertford, in 1570, was taxed on L60.6.8. On August 13,1590 administration on the goods of John Farrar of Hertford was granted his widow Mary. This John Farrar was the father of Nicholas Farrar, Sr.of London. The books of the Skinners Company show that at Michaelmas, 1564, Nicholas Farrar, son of John Farrar, of the town of Hertford, was apprenticed to John Harvey kinner and merchant adventurer, and that he took up his freedom December 1574, became a member of his company, and was it's master in 1613.
Nicholas Ferrar, born 1544, died April 1620, was an eminent merchant of London and a leading member of the Virginia Company. He traded extensively with East and West Indies, and other parts of the world and was the friend of many of the important men of the day. Raleigh, Hawkins, Drake and Sandy's were frequently his guests. At his house in St.Sythe's Lane, meetings of the Virginia Company were often held.
By indenture dated March 2, 1607, Nicholas Farrar, of London, Skinner, bought from Wm. Allen , of London, Esq. For L1000 a house in St. Sythes Lane, parish of St.Bennet Sherehog "Now in the possession of said Farrar," and on June 1st, 1608, he bought from the same person for L 20, "All the chamber now in the holding of said William Allen, acituate and being over the gate of the great massuage, now in the tenure of said Nicholas Farrar". The purchase of this "great chamber over the gate," was, Farrar says for the meeting of the Virginia Company.
Carter's Life of Nicholas Farrar (Jr.) 1892, gives this interesting description of Nicholas Farrar, Sr. and his wife:
Nicholas Farrar, the elder, was of a fair type and the great merchant of London, well born, loyal. (He was written Esquire by Queen Elizabeth in turn for liberal assistance), hot tempered generous hearted, a man of wide symphathies gathering many of the notable men of the day round the hospitable table of his fine house in the city, a zealous churchman, repairing and seating at his own expense, his parish church of St. Sythes, and providing a morning preacher for the same. Mr. Farrar's portrait by Jenssen, is to be seen at Cambridge, in the Master's Lodge, of Magdolen College, a fine face with uprightness and honest in everyline. His wife Mary Woodennoth, of the ancient family of the Woodennoths of Shavington, was a remarkable woman, gifted with the same power of empressing her personality on those around her, which was one of the most marked characteristics of her son Nicholas. Her portrait hangs beside her husband's. The firm delicate lines of finely cut features, the exquisitely fair complection, the noble and serious countenance, suits well the description which is given of her in the memoir of her son. "We are told that she was beautiful, bright haired and fair, even to her eighteith year (at her death in 1634, she is said to have been in her 83rd year) highly educated, of strong judgement, a wise and even temper so that her choleric husband declared that in their five and forty years of married life, she had never given him cause for anger, a woman who did not talk much, but whose word was law in her little world, and whose discreat, careful, charitable life was grounded in a deep love and study of the will of God
