Bennington

FARWELL, Asa, Isaac & John

Vermont Historical Magazine, No XI, October 1867, p 187 (extracted from a 
section on the history of Dorset)

Three brothers, John, Isaac, and Asa [FARWELL], came from Mansfield [Tolland 
County], Connecticut, in 1780 and settled and spent the remainder of their 
lives in this town [Dorset, Bennington County, Vermont]. From these have 
descended several families of that name still residents of the town. Isaac 
served in the French and Indian War; was several times "on duty," as he used 
to call it, in the War of the Revolution, participating personally as a 
commissioned officer in the battle of Bunker Hill. Asa FARWELL, also served 
with the army in Rhode Island at White Plains while the British held 
possession of New York. I am indebted to Rev. Asa FARWELL, of Haverhill 
[Essex County], Massachusetts, grandson of the above, for the foregoing facts 
of this family history.
