He was a 3rd lieutenant in the Walker Indian War and a 1st lieutenant in the Nauvoo Legion. A faithful servant to the church, Farnsworth practiced polygamy, having five wives and thirty children; was a teacher, a priest and elder, a member of the Seventy, and a High Priest; served on two missions to England; helped settle Kanab; and was the recorder at the Saint George and Manti Temples.
