She was the daughter of Ebenezer Farrington and Mary Ayer. 
Marr Intentions*22 November 1803Marriage intention for Mary "Polly" Farrington and Deacon Joshua Currier were on 22 November 1803 at Amesbury, Essex Co., Massachusetts.1 
(Witness) Census18101810Mary "Polly" Farrington is assumed to be one of the household of Deacon Joshua Currier in the 1810 census, pg 279, Canaan, Grafton Co., New Hampshire, who has 20010-20010. 
Death*2 April 1864Mary "Polly" Farrington died on 2 April 1864 at Canaan, Grafton Co., New Hampshire, at age 85 Her death record has the following information: died 2 Apr 1864 at Canaan, age 85, born South Hampton. Male - which is obviously an error. It says her parents were James Morse born Plaiston and her mother was Molly born Amesbury MA. This is not consistent with other information on her, which gives her parents as Ebenezer and Mary (Ayer) Farrington. This is proved by her birth record. The town clerk checked and it says "James & Molly Morse" implying James Farrington and Molly Morse. Research could be done in the time and location to see if this other couple is nearby and what the connection might be. Maybe they were present at a baptism? After evaluating all evidence, the conclusion is that the death record has wrong parents, and the tombstone has wrong date. 
Burial*She was buried at Wells Cemetery, Canaan, Grafton Co., New Hampshire, Dea. Joshua Currier died June 16, 1871 AE 93
Mary his wife died April 30, 1864 AE 85
but there is an error as the death record says she died Apr 2.
