Alexander King Farrar (1814–1878) was a state senator, lawyer, plantation owner, and secession convention delegate in Mississippi.[1]

Farrar was a prominent slave owner[2] with a large plantation near Kingston, Mississippi. He owned about 250 slaves.[3] He represented Adams County, Mississippi in the Mississippi Senate from 1852 to 1858. He married Ann Mary Dougharty and, after her death in the 1860s, Lue Philps Lesley.[4] He was involved in investigating the murder of a plantation manager.[2][5]

Farrar was involved in the hanging of dozens of enslaved people during the American Civil War. After the war he was involved in a plan to sell part of his plantation to freedmen.[6]

Louisiana State University has a collection of his papers.[7]
