A BIT OF FARRIS HISTORY

Body
Many current local Farris family members and more trace back to Andrew Jackson Farris (1827-1883). Born in Tennessee, he joined the military at the age of 20 and fought in the Mexican War. Less than a year later, he was mustered out and received 160 acres (about twice the area of a large shopping mall) of land for his service.
