Information on the Farwell and Welby family was obtained from:

2)  Jane Harter Abbott and Lillian M. Wilson (from the records of John Dennis Farwell), Farwell Family, Volume I, A History of Henry Farwell and his Wife Olive (Welby) Farwell of Boston, England and Concord and Chelmsford, Mass. 1605-1927 (Orange, Tex.: Frederick Henry Farwell and Fanny (Barber) Farwell, 1929).

I have done no original research on this WELBY line or on the FARWELL line.
