Mary Helen Haines notes:

L. B. McFarland's Memoirs state death date of Feb. 3, 1860 but that would conflict with court record assigning administration of his property in 1857.

Caleb McFarland's records:

1810 in Rutherford Co. TN
1830, 1840 in Lincoln Co. Missouri.

Property administrated in 1857 in Lincoln Co. MO. Assigned to Hugh B. McFarland as administrator. Caleb died without a will.

In the 1850 census Nancy is a widow, living in Lincoln Co. MO with son Hugh B. McFarland, age 35, born in TN, and John age 26 a student, deaf and dumb, born MO, and Ellen a daughter 22 MO, and James 20, also deaf and dumb, born MO.

In the slave schedule there are 14 slaves listed as property to D. McFarland.

In a questionnaire called the U.S. Special Census on Deaf Family Marriages and Hearing Relatives filled out for Gallandet University from 1888-1895 (available on Ancestry) concerning Caleb's family history and his deafness, he states that his pare nts were cousins. Also included are exact birthdates for himself, his brother, and his wife's name, birth date and their marriage date. He also states that his brother is married and that he had a sister who was deaf. His brother also filled one o ut. They both state that they had a sister who was deaf as well, but do not name her. There is one female that appeared in the 1840 census that is unnamed and that could be her.

If Caleb's wife is Nancy Barnett, she could be the daughter of Hugh Barnett Jr. (1760-1796) and Margaret McFarland (1765-1838). Margaret McFarland is the daughter of Robert McFarland who died in 1780 in Caswell Co. NC. Margaret Barnett appears i n the 1800 census of Person Co. NC on the same page as Walter and John McFarling, sons of Robert McFarland deceased.

Caleb + Nancy Barnett. Nancy (daughter of Hugh Barnett, Jr. and Margaret McFarland) was born in 1791 in North Carolina; died in 1856 in Missouri. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

When did Nancy Barnett marry Caleb, and where? Was it after her mother and Meredith Cox moved to Missouri, or before? Did Caleb have a previous marriage that Marcus H. is the product of?
