Notes:

Mary Helen Haines notes:

There are two Larkins. The elder was born bet. 1770 and 1775. He married Patsy Matterson in 1803 in Orange Co. He was a witness to the will of Henry Horton in 1805.

The census records for this Larkin McFarland do not show any children from a previous marriage. Therefore the connection of Larkin Jr. to this Larkin is not feasible, nor Thorton. So it is much more likely that Larkin Jr. and Thorton belong to a W illiam McFarland.

Found an L. McFarland in Orange Co. in 1810, age 26 to 45, next to two families named Pierce, and Umstead. p. 857, with a male and a female under 10, and female 16-25. According to one tree on Ancestry, Keziah who married William was a Pierce.

There is no solid connection to William and Keziah except timing and location. So he is here temporarily until better connections show up.

In 1820 census he is in Orange Co. NC on p. 398, next to Richard Umstead, Betty laws, Simpson Adcock, then Thorton McFarland. Larkin is over 45, with 2 males under 10 (Radford and Wesley), a male 10 to 16, a female 10 to 16, and his wife Martha 2 6 to 45.

In 1830 census he is in Madison Co. TN, p. 104. Males: one 50 to 59 (Larkin), one 20 to 29 (?), one 15 to 19 (Radford), one 10 to 14 (Wesley), one boy under 5. Females: one 30 to 39 (Martha), one 5 to 9, one under five.

In 1840 he is in Dyer Co. TN, Image 31/40. Males: 2 under 5, one 30 to 40 (his eldest son), one 60 to 70 (Larkin), Females: 4 under 5, 2 age 5 to 10, 2 age 10 to 15, 1 is 15 to 20, one (Martha) is 50 to 60. Neighbors, Kimbro, McCorkle, Robinson

His death happened in 1841 in Dyer. He has a son Wesley, born 1817 who is in the 1840 census in Dyer also, Image 39/40. In the 1850 census is son Radford McFarland, born 1814 in NC, fam. 287. But where is the eldest son, who was living with Larki n in 1840 census.

Need to find the land sale records in Dyer County and see who sells Larkin's land.

Notes:

We do know from genetic testing that this line of McFarlands, and at least one of the Hunts next door, are part of a Scottish line of McFarlands, separate from the Cadet line. They are related to the Daniel McFarland line that came to America in 1 718/9 and settled in Worcester Mass.

Susan Pavlech believes it is William the elder who patented this land.

DNA:
Based on 10 kits, William carried BY11789 plus two SNPs to America. This dates from the 1500s through his birth. The next generation develops downstream SNPs.

William married Keziah about 1750. Keziah was born about 1730; died between 1790 and 1800. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: 2 Aug 1790

Notes:

No records exist for 1790 in Orange Co. NC on Ancestry. However, the AGBI records that Keziah McFarlin was listed as the head of family in the first U.S. Census of 1790 and she was born around 1750. She is not present in 1800 census. If she was tr uly born in 1750, she could not be the mother of these three.
