FARRAND.
Nathaniel Farrand, of French extraction was living in Milford, Conn, in 1645. In the fourth generation from him was Rev. Daniel Farrand, whose biography fills several pages of Sprague's "Annals of the American Pulpit." He was minister at Canaan, Conn., 1752, till death in 1803. His oldest son, Daniel, b. about 1760, graduated at Yale College, 178-; studied law with Judge Jacobs. Came to Newbury about 1787, taught school and opened a law office. He lived where the late Harry C Bailey so long lived. His office was a small building which stood in front of the house, and was afterwards Benjamin Porter's law office, and later, was used for a young ladies' school. It is now the kitchen part of Silas Leighton's house.
Esq. Farrand was one of the most prominent men in the town and state, an eminent lawyer, a man of wide reading and mental culture. He held many town offices and was member from Newbury in the Constitutional convention at Bennington in 1791. Register of probate, 1788-'90, town representative in 1792, '93, '94, '95, '96, '97, '98, in the latter year being speaker of the House, the only speaker Newbury has ever furnished. Removed to Bellows Falls 1800, and to Burlington in 1804, where he built in 1809 the house now owned and occupied by Hon. George G. Benedict, editor of the Free Press. He was chosen assistant judge of the supreme court in 1813.
In politics Judge Farrand was a federalist, and when the war of 1812 broke out he opposed it with remarkable force. "He presided at a public meeting held in Williston, which denounced the administration, and passed a series of resolutions in which the graphic language and stubborn intellect of Daniel Farrand are plainly seen." Although a Unitarian, he seems to have been a strong supporter of the 1st church while in Newbury. He was a member of the corporation of Vt. University after 1798.
Mr. Farrand was married at Haverhill, May 1, 1794, to Mary, dau. of Col. Asa Asa Porter, (sic) b. Aug. 23, 1773 and d. March 24, 1812. He d. at Burlington, Oct. 13, 1825. They had nine daughters, all handsome and accomplished women:
