John McFarland was born in 1785 and son of William McFarland, married Katherine McFarland, born in 1782. She was a daughter of Joseph Mcfarland. They married in Fayette County, Kentucky in 1805, and moved to Greene County, Ohio, 8 miles west of Xenia in 1807. They moved from Greene County, Ohio to Adams County, Ohio in 1838.

| 304 | Mary Helen Haines notes: Although I have not seen it, it would seem logical that the H. is for Henry. John H. McFarland appears in the 1830 census in St. Francois county as the head of the family. He is living next to Samuel Vance and near John McFarland and Reuben McFarland. He is also there in the 1840 census. In 1850 he is on p. 161, fam. 131 in St. Francois Co. John H. McFarland made two land claims in St. Francois County. First was made 1-17-1837 for 40 acres, Cert. # 1811: SESW 3, 35-N, 6E, 5th PM. Second was made 8-10-41, for 40 acres, Cert. #6862, NESW 3, 35-N, 6E, 5th PM. It appears to be adjacent to Sand Cr., to the west of Farmington near where Hwy. F crosses Best Road. All of his oldest children would have been born in this location in Liberty township, St. Francois County. It seems he moved to St. Louis where his children were after the death of his wife. He was living in a boarding house in East St. Louis in 1870. It appears he died across the river, back in Missouri, and his body was taken back to Ironton to be buried. | McFarland, John Henry (I26835)

R. Sulgrove Philadelphia L.H. Everts & Co. 1884 Chapter XXIV Perry Township pages 587 - 588 " Dr. Benjamin McFarland and his family moved from Campbell County, Kentucky in 1826, (to Indiana) and settled on Lick Creek, half a mile east of the Shelby Pike. He was the first settler in this county who practiced the healing art. He made himself very useful to the early settlers as a physician. He built the first sawmill on Lick Creek and soon after added a gristmill, so as to furnish his neighbors both bread and lumber. He had two sons , Samuel and William, both living in the neighborhood, enterprising and respectable citizens. He had two daughters, Jane E. (who married John McCollum) and Eliza (who married Thomas N. Thomas). Benjamin McFarland died at the house of his son Samuel McFarland in the year 1860, in the ninetieth year of his age, his wife having died some years previous. The McFarland family has a marked individuality. They have always been in the advance from a moral and educational standpoint.

| 306 | Mary Helen Haines notes: From The Tinkling Spring: Headwater of Freedom, by Howard McKnight Wilson, 1954, p. 171. Sam'l Montgomery is listed with James Harris, James Davies, Jas Hollis and George Brakenridge as the Representatives of the Unity congregation of the Tinkling Spring Presbytery, that served the people settled on the waters of Holston River and Reed Creek. There were 45 families in this congregation. Dated Oct. 14, 1768. Robert Montgomery was a representative to the Boiling Spring congregation with 42 families. He served with David Sairs, Wm Sairs, Nathaniel Welcher, and William Herbert. The church was believed to be located near Fort Chiswell and served the people on Lower Reed Creek in present Wythe Co. VA. In the list of tithables for 1772 in Capt. Doack's Company, taken by Walter Crockett included all the Crocketts, the Finleys, the Kinders, John McFarland, Robert Mackfarland, and his son James, Samuel Montgomery as well as many Montgomerys. Samuel Montgomery was born about 1748 in Augusta (now Botetourt) County, Virginia, and moved about 1771 to Botetourt (now Wythe) County, Virginia: about 1772 he married Mary McFarland. In 1784 he bought 175 acres from Samuel Crockett of Bedford County, Virginia, (Montgomery Co. Deeds) and on August 24, 1784, he and his wife Mary sold 165 acres in Montgomery (now Wythe) County, Virginia, to William Finlay and moved to Lincoln (now Boyle) County, Kentucky, where on May 28, 1793, he bought 120 acres from Jacob and Ann Copelin. In 1811 he bought 36 acres on Boone's Mill Creek from Thomas Herring and sold it to Daniel O'Bannon for $1,200 on March 13, 1812: he sold O'Bannon 120 acres for $920 on February 19, 1812. In 1811 he moved to Knox (now Gibson) County, Indiana, where he lived on the NE 1/4 of Sec. 24, T3, KR12W; he died there about 1815. [1] Next history is about Samuel and Mary's grandson: Samuel Benson Montgomery, but includes information of his ancestors. FROM: History of Posey County, Indiana John C. Leffel, Editor Standard Publishing Company Chicago 1913. Samuel Benson Montgomery, physician and surgeon of Cynthiana, Ind., is a member of a family which has figured prominently in the history of the world since 944, the death of Yves de Bellesme, Count of Alencon, in Normandy, the first person recorded as bearing the name of Montgomery, occurring in that year. Since that time the Montgomerys have been heard of in France, England, Holland, Scotland, Ireland and America, his descendants having located in all those countries. It is from those that lived in Scotland and Ireland that we have the American line, and the antecedents of our subject. In 1605 Hugh Montgomery, of Braidstane, Scotland, was given title to one-third of the Con Oneil estate of Ireland for services rendered in Oneil's behalf in securing his pardon from King James. Mr. Montgomery at once set about to place a desirable class of emigrants on the large possessions he had secured. Of the first fifty-one families he brought there six families bore the name Montgomery, and within five years his colonization was so successful that he was able to report 1,000 men at his Majesty's service. Out of the amalgamation of the thousands of Scotch emigrants brought into Ireland by Hugh Montgomery and other knights, with the native Irish, came the Scotch Irish family, many of whom have come to America, settling at first in Virginia and finally scattering in every State in the Union. Samuel Montgomery, Sr., a direct descendant of Hugh Montgomery, was born in Virginia about 1740, and served in the Revolutionary war. He was quiet, peace loving, industrious and religious, and was highly esteemed by his neighbors. He was an elder in the old Presbyterian church in Kentucky, and in 1814, three years after coming to Indiana, he consented to assist in the organization of the Cumberland Presbyterian church. This he did at the earliest solicitation of Rev. William Barnett, and with them in the project was James Knowles, an elder in the Old School Presbyterian church. These three men formed the basis for the first Cumberland Presbyterian church of Indiana, and they formed the new organization without reordination or relinquishing any part of their former faith, and for the sole purpose of advancing the cause of Christ. Samuel Montgomery, Sr., married Polly McFarland, in Virginia, and later removed to Perryville, Ky. In 1811 he came with most of his family to Indiana and settled in Gibson county. The father of Samuel Montgomery, Sr., had slaves, and the son, being a religious man, did not believe it was right, and for that reason left home with his belongings and came to Indiana, where he set his negroes free at Evansville, which at that time consisted of two log houses and a cornfield. He bought his land at $1.50 per acre. It is now worth $200 per acre. Samuel Montgomery, Jr., was born in Kentucky in 1794, the ninth and youngest child of Samuel Montgomery, Sr. At the age of seventeen years he belonged to the State militia, and at the time of the call of General Harrison for help at the battle of Tippecanoe, he was absent on a visit. Upon returning and learning that his company had joined General Harrison, he hastily followed on horseback, but met his company at Vincennes, on their return. He married Sarah Montgomery on November 15, 1814. She was born in 1793, and died in August, 1829. This was the thirty eighth marriage license issued in Gibson county. Five children were born to this union. He was married the second time in 1833, when Nancy Robb, nee Davis, became his wife. Five children were born to this second marriage. Mr. Montgomery was drawn on the first jury in the county. Court was held in a small log cabin southwest of Princeton, on the McCurdy farm. Jesse M. Montgomery, the tenth and youngest child of Samuel Montgomery, Jr., was born May 5, 1845, in Gibson county, Indiana He is a farmer by occupation, and a staunch Republican in politics, having represented Gibson county in the legislature in 1887. He now lives one mile north of Cynthiana, where he has one of the finest farms in the county. On November 22, 1866, he married Lemira Benson, a daughter of William Benson, of Montgomery township, Gibson county, and they became the parents of three children all of whom received college educations. Samuel B. Montgomery, the youngest child of Jesse M. and Lemira (Benson) Montgomery, was born on his father's farm in Gibson county, one mile north of Cynthiana, July 6, 1874. He was raised on the farm, completed the common schools and graduated from the Owensville High School in 1892. He attended Wabash College one year and then entered the medical department of the University of Louisville, where he graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medicine, in 1898. He located at Poseyville, Ind., for practice, remaining there one year. He then went to St. Wendel, where he remained three years, and although successful in both these places he decided to locate in Cynthiana, and came here in 1902. He enjoys a large and lucrative practice, and is a member of the Posey County and Indiana State Medical societies, and the American Medical Association. He belongs to the Christian church, the Modern Woodmen of America, and the Court of Honor. Politically, he is a Progressive. On September 15, 1898, Dr. Montgomery married Miss Eva L. Boyle. daughter of Henry and Matilda (McReynolds) Boyle, both natives of Indiana, the father of Vanderburg county, and the mother of Posey county. Her parents are now retired, living in Cynthiana in the summer and in Florida in the winter. Mrs. Montgomery was born in Vanderburg counfy, July 17, 1879, and was educated in the common and high schools of Cynthiana, and at Owensboro College, Owensboro, Ky. They are the parents of two children: Mary Leona, born March 5, 1901, and Dorothy Mae, born March 16, 1905. Mrs. Montgomery is a member of the Presbyterian church, and active in its charities. | Montgomery, Samuel (I24076)

| 310 | Mary Helen Haines notes: My beloved aunt....she was taken away too soon by breast cancer. Aunt Jane hosted me at her house during one summer when I was in highschool and it is one of my favorite memories. Jane was quite a popular girl in highschool. There are these quotes from the newspaper: "Officers' Dance Is High School Feature---Officers from every high school in Dallas were entertained at a formal dance Friday night in the Highland Park High School gymnasium...Al Avery led the grand march with Jane Hill." and then another event "Jane Hill danced with so many poeple that it was hard to find out who was her escort." also "Mis Jane Hill will entertain with an open house for 200 guests from 2 to 5 o'clock Sunday afternnon at her home, 5406 Junius street. The guests will be received by Miss Hill and her mother, Mrs. Joe M. Hill. ....During the afternoon, tea will be poured by Mrs. Clyde W. Gwinn, Mrs. Gordon B. McFarland, Mrs. James R. McFarland and Mrs. Durward Mahon....Out of town guests will include Miss Frances Williams of Ladonia and Miss Elizabeth Speight of Waco." This obituary is from The Ladonia News, July 22, 1977.

| 311 | Mary Helen Haines notes: Sources on Ancestry put Andrew's birth as Nov. 26, 1731 in Lancaster Co. PA. This does not make sense that he would have the same birth date as his wife. Nancy's date comes from the McFarland Bible in Morristown TN. Augusta County Surveys: 1747/1748: Robert Evans, 180 acres on Reed Creek. (Not sure if he is related to Andrew, but probably) 1750: Andrew Evans, 347 acres on a branch of Reed Creek, adjoining the Black Lick Survey, granted 1753, also grant for 1,300 acres on Reed Creek, 1753. (Kegley, Vol. 5, p. 437) Map of land ownership in Kegley, p. 473 shows the Andrew Evans survey adjacent to the Black Lick survey for John and Robert McFarland that was sold to David Doak in 1768. (p. 473) Fincastle County Deeds: Christiansburg, Virginia 1773: John Ward of Augusta County from Andrew Evans and Nancy of Bedford County, Virginia for 100 pounds, 347 acres on a branch of Reed Creek, granted Evans in 1753. (Ibid. p. 438) Washington Co. VA: 1775: Andrew Evans settled on 300 acres of land on both sides of Hungers Mother on waters of Middle Fork of Holstein. This was surveyed in 1775, and Evans was an assignee of John Crow. In 1776 Washington Co. was created. This appears in the Washington County Surveys in 1781. (Washington County Surveys and Commissioners Certificates 1781-1797, Tom Colley, 1999, p. 73) 1782: Tax List for Washington County: In Col. Arthur Campbell's District: Robert McFarland with 2 tithes, 5 horses, 8 cattle, next to James McFarland with one tithe, four horses, six cattle, and nearby is John McFarland with one tithe, 3 horses, 5 cattle. (The John is John Stewart MacFarlane, from Scotland, not a relative, married to Elizabeth Campbell, daughter of Col. Arthur Campbell.) Also present in this district is Andrew Evans, one tithe, 2 horses, 3 cattle. Since there are no Robert McFarlands left in Montgomery Co. this must be Robert Sr, with Jr. in one house, eldest son James. Col. Arthur Campbell lives in his district, and land deeds describe it as being on the middle fork of the Holston, Mill Creek, south of Abington. Green Co. and Jefferson Co. TN 1791: Land Grant #894 in Greene Co. for 37 acres to Andrew Evans. Bk. 2, p. 385. Described as being an "island in the French Broad River that Col. William Christian marched through in the night he marched to the Cherokee Nation in year 1776." (Green County Court House, NC Grants, Book III, p. 115) {However, the Google Earth island called Evans island is in the Nolichucky R. {#13 on map} ) 1791 Greene County Minutes, p. 241: "Ordered that a road be laid off from the mouth of Boyds Creek through the gap of Bays Mountain crossing French Broad River at John Evans, thence to the Sinking Spring where Zophar farmer lives and that Nathaniel Evans, Jacob Edwards, Andrew Cowan, Andrew Evans, David Forster, Peter Keener, James Miliken Senr, James Gibson, James Brock, William Thomas, Henry Garner and ___ being first duly sworn view and mark the same and report next court. 1793: North Carolina Grant#1150 to Nathaniel Evans and Joseph Evans for 300 acres at 10 pounds for every 100 acres on waters of French Broad R. north east side. 1793: North Carolina Grant #1118 to Andrew Evins, 250 acres on the north side of the French Broad at the mouth of Bod's (Boyd's) Creek, adj. spring above the Rock House. (Jefferson Co. Deed Book A, p. 137) 1794: Land Deed Jefferson Co. Andrew Evans bought 250 acres for 200 pounds Green Co. on north side of French Broad River in the first bend below Christian's War Ford. Pat. Bearing date Sep. 20, 1787 from James Hubbart. Jefferson Co. Deed Book B, p. 101 1797: Nathaniel Evans Deed to Andrew Evans, Sr. (Both of Sevier Co.) dated Sept. 1797, 500 acres for $1000. Formerly a part of Green Co. on the waters of Long Creek on the head of the long Branch adj. Nathaniel Evans, as by Patent No. 1325. Test: W. Lackey; Margre Evans. Signed Nathaniel Evans (Jefferson Co. Vol. D, p. 141) This indicates a relationship between Andrew Evans and Nathaniel Evans that has not been noted before. (Sevier County was formed from Jefferson Co. in 1794) Because this appears in the Jefferson Co. Deed Book, I am assuming it is the Long Creek north of the Nolachucky close to Dandridge. | Evans, Andrew (I26477)

| 313 | Mary Helen Haines Notes: According to Doug Jenkins, and then from the Montgomery County rootsweb site, Daniel Robinette is the husband of Mary McFarland. This is the Mary McFarland, daughter of William McFarland of the Duncan line. ROBINET, Daniel and Mary McFARLAND, Jan. 1786 Some trees have him as Daniel Robinett, dying Jan. 10, 1842 at Walkers Creek, Wythe Co. In 1834 Daniel sold his land in Wythe Co. His wife Ann signed the deed. The land was adjacent James and Michael Robinette's land. This Ann is considered to be Mary Ann Justice. When Daniel Robinett died in 1842, he left a will in Wythe naming his wife Anna, daughters Elizabeth, Sophrona, Margaret, sons George and James. James was the executor. There is another suit that seems to convey that he had an earlier marriage and children from that marriage. Therefore Mary McFarland could have been the first marriage, she died, and he remarried. So, we definitely know that Rhoda is not married to Daniel. In the 1850 census in Wythe Co. there is an Ann Robinett, born 1774 in NC living with a George Robinett born in 1815, as well as the sisters Elizabeth, Saphrona, Lenora. On the same page, a few houses down, is James B. McFarland with sons Jacob and Lorenzo Dow. The following information has mixed up his brother with him. CONFLICT: Below information believed to be for a Michael Robinett. PARENTS: Samuel ROBINETT and Mary FICKEL or PIGG. NAME: ROBINETT or ROBINETTE. PLACE: Born in Botetourt County, Now Bland County, VA. RESIDENCE: Lived 1790 to 1830 in Wythe County, VA. MARRIAGE: Michael Robinett born 1765-1767 Botetourt co, VA and died Scott Co, VA. Married (1) Rhoda MCFall, and (2) Mary McFarland, 22 Aug 1786 Montgomery Co, VA. Children born about 1787 - 1829 Wythe Co, VA. Son of Samuel Robinett and Mary Fickel.

| 314 | Mary Helen Haines notes: I wish to thank Jim Black for his photocopies, Mary Kegley for her books, Sharon Sinner and Jerry McFarland for their information about Tazewell county and Burkes Garden, and others for their e-mail exchanges that motivated this complilation. This James B. McFarland is not descended from the line of Alexander and Elizabeth Tennent McFarland. He is not the son of Levin and Sarah Bonecutter McFarland of Frederick County, and did not live in Shenandoah County, VA. The James McFarland of Shenandoah County, born abt. 1807, is still present in Shenandoah County in 1850 and beyond, while this James B. McFarland is in Wythe and Tazewell Counties. I came to the conclusion that James B. McFarland , must be the son of Rhoda McFarland and a male with the surname Burress (Burris) because of the results of DNA testing. Two males from the line of James B. from 2 of his eldest sons do not match the line of Levin McFarland's 3 descendants from two different sons that do match each other. However, the descendants of James B. McFarland do match the surname Burris or Burrows.This and the following documents that Rhoda was a daughter of William McFarland, and that Rhoda had a son named James made this seem the logical conclusion. I recieved various e-mails over the years from people who are descended from the line of William McFarland of Wolf Creek that led me to information that William McFarland, who died in 1791 in Wythe Co. might have had a second wife named Louesa, and children by her named Rhoda, Martha, and there is one more girl named Rachael that shows up in records. Rhoda shows up in records in Tazewell Co. when she was bound out in 1801, and then when she binds out 2 children, James and Nancy in 1810, and she is married to a man named Robnit by 1810. Following these hints, then going to the county records and census records I have been able to follow where James lived and his children, and follow Rhoda in her life. Starting with William McFarland. William arrived in the Wolf Creek area about 1770. Back home in Augusta Co. (Jackson River area), his wife must have died and in 1775 his father-in-law went to court asking for the children to be bound to him. William had 300 acres surveyed on Wolf Creek and settled there, but the formal documents for this property were not finalized until after his death. William's children began moving to Wolf Creek. The eldest girl Eleanor, married to Thomas Neel in Augusta, moved here in the 1770s, and probably lived on William's land. When William died in 1791, his son James was named the administrator of his estate.(March 8, 1791, in Annals of Southwest Virginia, p. 1361) This is in the Wythe Co. records also. However, there is a gap in their county court records from 1792-95, which may have some critical records where the estate goods were sold, or the heirs signed over property. It is not till 1801 that records in Tazewell Co. show that William's son Daniel in Cumberland Co. KY sign over his rights to brother James. In 1817, Isabella McFarland Crawford sells her part to brother James while she is living in Greene Co. TN. Concerning Louesa: 1793: Louesa (Lucresa) McFarland is on the tax list for Wythe Co., owned 2 cattle.The census taker (John Davies Commissioner for area north of Walkers Mt) visited her on May 22, the same day he visited Thomas Neel(husband of Eleanor McFarland, daughter of Wm), who had 3 tithes and 10 cattle, and William Kidd. This indicates they were all immediate neighbors. This land becomes Tazewell Co. when the county was formed in 1800, and then Bland Co. when it was formed in 1861. It is near the present town of Grapefield today. Louesa must have died in the late 1790s because daughter Rhoda was bound out. Source: Archives of the Pioneers of Tazewell Co. by Netti Shriner Yantis, p. 5, from Order Book 1, p. 20, on January 6, 1801 "Overseers of the Poor bind Rhoda McFarland infant of William McFarland to John Peery, Gent." Mary Kegley informed me that the Peerys were prominent people in Tazewell Co. This statement does not mean she was an infant the way we think of it, but that she was too young to be independent. Later census records for Rhoda indicate she was born abt. 1789, so she was abt. 11 years old. Her probable sister Martha marries George Justice in 1802 in Tazewell Co. Another entry in Order Book 1, p. 210, in 1806 has Rhoda MacFarlane and John Peery testifying in a Tazewell court proceeding. (p. 64 or Archives) In about 1805, Rhoda gave birth to two children, which she binds out in 1810. Order Book 1, p. 357, March 27, 1810, Ordered that the overseers of the Poor bind James and Nancy McFarlin, children of Rhoda McFarlin, now Rhoda Robnit [usually Robinett] to William Smith (WR) as the law directs. (Archives, p. 104) It is not clear from census records whether they were twins or born closely together. Both show up in later census records as being born abt. 1805. William Smith is in the 1810 census record in Wythe Co., Image 36/46. In his household is one male under 5, and 2 females under 10. In 1820 William Smith is in Tazewell Co. and also has the appropriately aged children to be James and Nancy. By 1830 James McFarland appears to be living in Wythe Co. near Walkers Creek area, where he appears in the census as James D. McFarland, p. 345. Image 66/109. He is a male 20-30, wife the same. There is one boy under 5 (Lorenzo Dow probably) and then 3 other children who would not be his. In 1840, James Mcfarlane is still in Wythe Co., He is male 30-39, with wife the same. There are 2 males under 5 (Stephen, David), one 5 to 9 (Jacob), one 10-14 (Lorenzo Dow) and one 15 tthru 19 ?. One female under 5 (Elizabeth), one 5 thru 9 (Susannah, Jemima?), one 10 thru 14 (?), one 15 thru 19 (Jane who appears in the 1850 census, who might be a niece). Since the census is not alphabetical, we can see his neighbors: Ambrose Grayson, William Heninger (married to Barbara Lambert),John Lambert Jr, Samuel and Henry Lambert, Solomon Perkey (married to Peggy Lambert),Francis Gullion, Solomon Kimberling. From Mary Kegley's history of the Lambert family, we see that John Lambert Jr. obtained 159 acres on Walkers Creek, so this is where James McFarland was living in 1840 and 50 before he moved to Tazewell Co. by 1860. In the county court records of June 8,1840 a record appears in Abstracts of Court Records of Wythe County, Virginia, 1790-1791, 1795-1810, Volume 1; Mary B Kegley,p. 168. " Claims for killing wolves and foxes:....James B. McFarland (Ben R. Gibboney & Co.) 1 old wolf, $5.00." During these years in Wythe County, the children were attending school. However, James and a few of his neighbors could not afford to pay the fees, so the Commissioner would ask the teachers to fill forms outlining the names of the children and parents who could not pay, so that the teacher could be compensated. Mary Kegley gathered this information into her book The Lost Children of Wythe County, Virginia,1790-1878.

Burks Garden Info from e-mail received in 2014 concerning the parents of James B. McFarland: I am researching the family of James B. McFarland (1809-1876) who lived in Tazewell Co., VA. It appears that he was the son of a Rhoda McFarland and unknown Burriss because he is alternatively called James Burriss in some records, but mostly he is always called "James B. McFarland" in all Wythe and Tazewell Co., VA records. James' mother, Rhoda McFarland is mentioned in court records first as "infant of William McFarland" and then two of her children are bound out in 1810, James and Nancy McFarland, and she is referred to as "now Rhoda Robinett." As to her father, William McFarland, he appears to be the one that died in 1791 in Wythe Co., VA. There are deeds in Tazewell Co., VA where Daniel, James, and Isabella Crawford are named as William's heirs. I have only checked books and I have never checked the deeds themselves, but I suspect there are other deeds. (1) "Overseers of the poor bind Rhoda McFarland, infant of William McFarland, to John Peery, Gentleman." 6 Jan 1801 Tazewell Co., VA. My interpretation of this is as follows: About this same time in Tazewell Co., VA, George Justice marries Martha McFarland. When William McFarland died in 1791, James McFarland became his administrator; however, no estate was ever administered. A Lucinda/Louesa/Lucy McFarland is on the tax lists until the late 1790's. When Rhoda "McFarling" Robinette died in Wise Co., Virginia in 1867, her parents were given as Wm. and Lucy McFarling. So that Lucinda McFarland on the tax lists would be the widow of William McFarland. I think William's first wife died around the time of that court record where Alexander Gibson got custody of his kids (1775). For some reason, William McFarland's land grants for the surveys he made in the early 1780's were not actually granted until 1800 and 1805. There should be deeds from all the heirs, but I need to go there because I can't find them in available books. From William McFarland's marriage to Lucinda, he had at least Martha and Rhoda - perhaps more. (2) "Overseers of the poor bind James and Nancy McFarland, children of Rhoda McFarland, now Robnit, to William Smith (WR) as the law directs." 24 Apri 1810. Tazewell Co., Virginia. Nancy married Jacob Giffitts in 1825 and raised a large family. She had daughters named Rhoda and Louesa/Lucy. Nancy died in Tazewell Co., VA after 1880. The source of this information was identified by Mary B. Kegley in an e-mail, Sept. 2014: "From a published source, page 104, of Archives of the Pioneers of Tazewell Co. by Netti Shriner Yantis, she published Order book 1, and on page 357 records this: March 27, 1810, Ordered that the overseers of the Poor bind James and Nancy McFarlin, children of Rhoda McFarlin, now Rhoda Robnit [usually Robinett] to William Smith (WR) as the law directs. On page 5 there was another interesting item (page 20 of the court order book), January 6, 1801, Ordered that overseers of the Poor bind Rhoda McFarland infant of William McFarland to John Peery, Gent. [Peerys were a very prominent family of Tazewell County]. There may be other references. " In the 1840 census of Tazewell Co. William Smith, esq. age 70 to 79 is on same page as Jacob Stump and lots of Prewitts, one page over from James Burriss, age 30 to 40 and tons of Neels. This would explain the YDNA match to Burress surname, but not any McFarlands. If this is true, then it means that this line is descended from Duncan McFarland (of later Bath Co.), through his son William who died in 1791 in Wythe Co. (Wolf Creek area), which is where all this group of people lived. There is a James Burriss in Tazewell Co. born 1800-1810 in the 1830, 1840, 1850 and 1860 censuses. He is married to Mary Frances Neel. So this James Burriss is separate from the James McFarland below married to Christina (prob. Lambert). The census numbers below indicate the presence of the two boys Lorenzo Dow and Jacob Burris from the very beginning; they are not adopted children. Some people have speculated that Lorenzo Dow and Jacob Burris were informally adopted by James B. McFarland, or were bound to James B. and that they were products of a Burris male. However, it is my belief that James B. McFarland and his sister Nancy, children of Rhoda McFarland, later Robinett, were the children of a Burris male. The only way to know for sure is to find a male descendant of David McFarland to test their Y-DNA to see if he matches a Burress also, or matches the known descendants of William McFarland.

I believe they were probably unofficially adopted by James B McFarland. Although we find written records of these brothers with the surname of Burriss, they later took the surname of McFarland. It appears they lived with and were raised by James B McFarland and his wife, Christiana. Early records from from Wythe County, VA ("Lost Children of Wythe County") show Lorenzo and Jacob living with James and listing their surnames as McFarland. Both Lorenzo and Jake's marriage documents from Wythe County show their surname as Burriss. Furthermore, records from Sharon Lutheon Church in Ceres show the brothers still using the surname of Burriss in 1852. In the 1870 and 1880 census records, the brothers are using the surname McFarland. Lorenzo is living in Bland County in 1870 and in Tazewell County in 1880. Jake is living in Tazewell in both 1870 and 1880. If any Burriss or McFarland searcher can help with this family, I would greatly appreciate it...Dave Bane -------------------------------------- Re: Neel/McFarland Family of Tazewell Co, VA Posted by: Elizabeth Juhala-Borders (ID *****3371) Date: April 27, 2003 at 13:15:32 In Reply to: Re: Neel/McFarland Family of Tazewell Co, VA by Mary Mathis of 1107 Hi Mary, Do you have any information on Alex Neel, we have him married to Mary A.

They had several children together, but something happened as we find Mary living with her father in 1870 Tazewell County, VA. with her dau, Molly 3; Shelby 2; Napoleon (Which is Alen Napoleon Neel) 6/12 months. We also believe that Wheeling in 1880 census living with Mary's brother, Ballard and his wife Eliza Spracher McFarland is Alex and Mary McFarland Neel's son. They are found in the 1880 Census living with Eliza's father, Peter Spracher.

There are lots of young men named Lorenzo Dow during this time. A descendant of Lorenzo Dow McFarland took the Y-DNA test and it showed that the father of this line was a Burress, or some variation of that name. This means that his father James B. McFarland was probably a Burress. There is a James Burriss born abt. 1807 who married Mary Frances Neel who died abt. 1853. He then married Polly Cox in 1871. He died 1883 in Tazewell. His father was Micajah Burress, born 1775 in Bedford Co. VA, in 1795 was in Montgomery Co. VA, and in 1840 and 1850 was in Russell Co.

She is listed as the head of the family, and the owner of the land worth $400 that they are living on. Need to go to Tazewell Co. deeds and see if she purchased the land from James McFarlane's heirs after she religuished the title to the land. | Neel, Mary (I5266)

Book 8, p. 92 Greene Co. TN (FHL #944411) 1809: James McFarland on tax list for Greene Co. in Capt Joseph Kirk's Co. 1815: Polly Willoughby (16) and Anne Willoughby (14) chose James McFarland as guardian. Also he is guardian to John and Eliz. Willoughby, minors under 14. (Greene County Tenn. Guardians, and Orphans Court Records, 1783-1870, by Sandra Kelton Houston, p. 107 ) Now, back in Jefferson Co.

Benjamin McFarland Sr. Part of Cert No. 1018 for 50 acres issued 01 Aug 1815 to Samuel Nicholson. Entered 13 Feb 1821, James McFarland. (Not sure if this is the same James McFarland) He is mentioned in his father's will written in 1836. One researcher noted that when his father died in 1837, James was living in Carroll Co. GA according to the will record. It appears that he has a son born 1805 in TN. who married Elizabeth Harrison born in NC on Feb. 27, 1834 in Carroll Co. GA.

| 325 | MHH notes: I don't think he knew his birthdate. In the 1900 census with father Richard C. in Gilmer Co. GA he is listed as a son and his birthdate is Feb. 1887. In the 1910 census when he was living with his brother Henry B. Mc Farland in Gilmer Co. GA, he states his birthday as Oct. 1883. When he registered for the draft in 1917, his said his birthdate was Dec. 4, 1883. He was living in Blount Co. TN. Closest relation was Laura. In 1920 census he is Grover C. Mc Farland, 35, married to Laura 33, with 2 children A. Edith 11, and Fred 3. When he died in Knoxville TN, his birthdate was listed as Nov. 4, 1884. Death date as Jan. 29, 1932. On his death record, it does list his father as Richard McFarland and mother as Caroline Law. | McFarland, Grover Cleveland (I23775)

My memory of him (from the 1950's to 1970's) is that he was a clerical worker, often unemployed, and something of a recluse. He often helped Ian on the orchard at weekends and always joined Ian and family for Christmas. After Ian died Neil moved to the Veterans Home in Levin where he died on 12 November 1996. His ashes were buried in the Returned Services Area of the Marsden Valley Cemetery, Stoke, Nelson on 15 November 1996 (RSA Area, Plot 342). He never married. | MacFarlane, Neil Roberton (I28648)

| 334 | Notes found on Delilah Caroline Law on Ancestry tree: MargaretBoruff originally shared this to McFarland Family Tree In 2007 It is believed that Delila Caroline Law is related to R.C. McFarland's first wife. It appears from what records I have seen that cousin fits. Her mother is listed some places as Jane/Jennet and one place Jennetta. I was told that they were sisters, if they were ......they would have to be stepsisters according to the info that I have found. She is listed on one census as a servant in Richard's household in Ga. She has several children and after Mary dies she marries Richard. The story that I was told is that she came to help out in the home after her sister Mary became sick. She then started having children by Richard and then the story repeats when my grandmother, the third wife [Catherine Curtis], moves into the home. She has children by Richard and marries him after Caroline dies. Caroline is listed on one census as a "widow" so.... are all of her children Richard's or are some of them from her previous marriage? It appears from everything that I have seen that they are Richard's. I have always been told that Richard fathered about 22 children by 3 wives. I have been told that the research on this family caused many feuds among the researchers.....the descendants of the older children calling the descendants of the other children "bastards". My grandfather would never allow the word "bastard" to be spoken in his home and instilled that feeling in his older children if not the younger ones. Richard Clay McFarland, my grandfather, was the last child born to R.C. and his 3rd wife. Mable Thornton [researcher from Rockwood, Tn.] told me that after he was born his father passed away and Catherine was driven off the farm by the children of the first wife, Mary. According to the Ga. census she went to live and farm her brother's farm. According to my grandfather they went to live with Hardy Garren. Hardy Garren took Richard in and he moved to Calhoun, Ga. Two of the Garren girls married two of the McFarland boys and they bought the homeplace that my grandfather was evicted from. I also was told that my grandmother was given a "widows share" of the estate which was 1/3 and the other 2/3 went to some of the children. From member chkrdflag Half-Sisters: You may have already come to this conclusion, but in case you have not, here it is. Jennet Lambert(maiden name) married James Walker. They had 3 children, one of them being Mary Walker. After James died she married Anderson Law, and had 4 children, one of them being Delilah Caroline Law. So Mary Walker McFarland and Delilah Law McFarland were half sisters, sharing the same mother yet a different father. If you got any questions feel free to email me. I've no doubt that Mary got sick and help was needed, and that's what brought Delilah there. This extra wife and kids thing was common in those days and not looked upon as we do today. | Law, Delila Caroline (I24121)

| 335 | Notes on Hiram's career as a Cumberland Presbyterian minister: http://www.cumberland.org/hfcpc/minister/HunterHA.htm The subject of this brief biographical sketch was a son of James and Elizabeth Hunter. He was born on the thirteenth of August, 1800, in Campbell county, Virginia, and was a Scotch-Irish extraction. About the year 1804 his father removed with his family to Kentucky and settled in Russellville, Logan county. Here he was raised and educated. His father was in good circumstances and gave his son as good an education as the facilities of the country at that time would afford. He studies all the branches of an English education, and as his father intended him for the bar he became a pretty fair Latin scholar. The death of his father occurred in 1814, and having no special preference for his father's choice of a profession for him he asked his mother's permission to learn a trade and chose that of a saddler. At this trade he worked about two years, or till he made profession of religion in September, 1817, at Liberty meeting-house, about three miles from Russellville, at a Cumberland Presbyterian camp-meeting conducted by Rev. Messr. Wm. Harris and Alex. Chapman, assisted by a young licentiate named Buoy.... he at once engaged to study theology with Rev. Finis Ewing, preparatory to the work of the ministry. Upon his return home preparation was being made to carry out this engagement; but just as his clothes were ready and well packed, and the day appointed when he should start to Christian county, then the residence of Rev. Finis Ewing, a letter came from General Andrew Jackson, calling for a company of volunteers to go against the Seminole Indians, who had invaded some of the Southern States, and were destroying the lives and property of the citizens. Forthwith he addressed a letter to Rev. Finis Ewing setting forth the facts and asked his advice as to the propriety of his going on that expedition. Mr. Ewing answered at once and advised him to go. A very hasty preparation was now made for the departure of the company. Mr. Hunter joined it, and by the voice of the company served it as orderly sergeant. They left Russellville in January, 1818, reported at Nashville,... REV. HIRAM ABIFF HUNTER and his twin brother, Rev. Howlett Hunter, were born August 13, 1800, near Lynchburg, Virginia. They were the children of James Hunter and Elizabeth Howlett Hunter, and with their parents removed to Logan county, Kentucky, in 1804. Work upon a farm and in a saddler's shop occupied the time that was not spent in school, and thus the hands as well as the head were prepared for usefulness in after life. Hiram's first public act was to enlist in the war of 1812, but as his parents did not approve of the act he was permitted to return home. He was designed by his father for the law, and accordingly his education took that direction; but his conversion, at the age of seventeen, at a camp-meeting near Russellville, Ky., turned him at once toward the ministry. His father was dead, and his mother a widow living in Russellville with her children. Occasionally boarders were there attending school; but the young convert braved it all, set up the family altar, and conducted family worship... In 1839 he removed to Owensboro, Ky, where he remained as pastor of the church ten years, in 1844 marrying Emma M. Griffith, who is now his widow. In 1849 he removed to Uniontown, Pa. Here he was pastor of the church four years, then four years pastor in Philadelphia. In 1857 he took up his residence in Louisville, Ky., and remained pastor of the church there till 1861, when he became chaplain of the 28th Kentucky Volunteers. After some service in the field he was transferred to the hospitals at Louisville, and remained there till the close of the war. Since that time he has traveled and preached in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky until increasing age and failing health compelled him to give up regular work, but he still continued to preach occasionally until a short time before his death. His last public act was to assist Dr. Detwiler in administering the Lord's Supper in the Lutheran church in Louisville.... Mr. Hunter was four times married, and was the father of thirteen children. Two died at Logansport, Ind., one at Princeton, two at Owensboro, Ky., and one at Nashville, Tenn. Of the six living children, and their wives and husbands, all but two have been or are teachers. Hiram A. Hunter, Jr., whose mother was Agnes Cowardin, resides in Topeka, Kansas. D. E. Hunter, whose mother was Susannah R. Robb, resides at Bloomington, Indiana, but for seven years past has been Supt. of Public Schools, at Washington, Indiana. Robt. H. Hunter, whose mother was Mary J. McNeely, is a resident of Las Vegas, New Mexico. Mrs. Mary E. Foskett, wife of the Rev. Geo. E. Foskett, of the M.E. Church South, is stationed with her husband at Elizabethtown, Ky. Misses Emma H., and Alice G. Hunter, teachers in the public schools at Louisville, are residing with their mother at 435 East Madison street Louisville, Ky. His last illness was of two months duration, and during most of the time he was delirious. His death, which was peaceful, took place on Sunday, Nov. 4, 1883, at his residence in Louisville, Ky. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. S. Grider, of Bowling Green, Ky., the burial by Excelcion Lodge F. & A.Masons, at that beautiful city of the dead, Cave Hill. After the burial, many beautiful floral tributes were brought by loving friends, and his own children placed them upon his grave. | Hunter, Hiram Abiff (I7346)

British Army WWI Medal Rolls Index Cards, 1914-1920 [database on-line]. Reg Number possibly NW/7/6382 The British War Medal 1914-1920, authorised in 1919, was awarded to eligible service personnel and civilians. The basic requirement for army personnel and civilians was that they either entered a theatre of war, or rendered approved service overseas between 5 August 1914 and 11 November 1918. The Victory Medal 1914-1919 was also authorised in 1919 and was awarded to all eligible personnel who served on the establishment of a unit in an operational theatre. He is believed to have been at the Battle of the Somme. The opening day of the battle on 1 July 1916 saw the British Army suffer the worst one-day combat losses in its history, with 57,470 men becoming casualties. Multiple DLI Battalions were involved. [During the Great War 37 Battalions were raised and 12,606 members of the regiment were killed or died of wounds.] He returned to NZ in 1927 and was an accountant with the Ministry of Works. He tried to enlist again in 1939 but was not accepted on grounds of his age. He retired to Rotorua. Source: Proctor Family papers (John Wilson, Feb 2010) A John Maitland Proctor is recorded as having died in 1952, aged 80 (NZBDM 1952/27314). From John Wilson's information that he died in Rotorua, I checked the Rotorua Cemetery records and confirmed that he is buried there (died 25 Nov 1952, buried Block 6, RSA plot 33). The age fits, and as Maitland was John's grandmother's maiden name (Proctor side) it seems probable that whoever reported the death simply made an error.
