Information on Samuel Phares

From "THE PHARES FAMILY OF ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, VIRGINIA, with a few notes on the allied families of Johnson, Gragg, Reynolds, Hill, Wilmoth, Veneman, and others, by Warren Skidmore


Pennsylvania Vital Records From the Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine and the Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography (Baltimore, 1983). 92, 96, Samuel, the son of John Pheries, was born on the 4th and christened on 5 April 1730. He was apparently guilty of some youthful indiscretion in Augusta County in 1749 at about the age of 19. John Cunningham, the jailer, includes Samuel Farish on his account of the prisoners kept during the year (Chalkley, II, 432). When the county levy was collected in 1755 Samuel Farnish is reported as "Not found" and his father John Farnish as "Twice returned" (Chalkley, II, 415-6). Nothing more has been learned of Samuel Phares in Augusta County, but he can probably be identified with the man of the name living in 1787 in Shenandoah County. If this is so more might be learned about Samuel after 1749 in the records of Frederick County (which included Shenandoah until 1772). His sister Jane (born on the 12th and christened on 13 May 1733) and her possible husband Robert Ferguson will be noticed elsewhere. See also the recent Pennsylvania Births, Philadelphia County, 1644-1765, edited by John T. Humphrey (Washington, D.C., 1994), which covers much of the same ground, but does not add anything new.
