Other Events and Attributes:

• Name: John McFarlane
• Occupation: Weaver Arrochyluig

Notes:

History of Clan MacFarlane by Mrs C M Little shows John has children, John, Parlan, George, William & 3 daughters but doesn't name a wife.

1 - An IGI search of Stirlingshire births shows most likely mother to have been a Cathrine Mcfarlane. IGI shows she and John had sons John, Alexander, Peter, Parlan, Duncan, Walter, George & daughters Mary, Janet, Jean & Helen.

We have to assume transposition of Walter for William and early deaths of Alexander, Duncan, Peter and one of the daughters to end up with surviving children mentioned in Mrs Little's History.

This is made more interesting by IGI search of Buchanan parish marriages for John Mcfarlane and Cathrine Mcfarlane, to find there were three in the timeframe meaning these children could be spread amoung all three marriages.
John Mcfarlane
marriage: 11 June 1774 Buchanan,Stirling,Scotland
spouse: Cathrine Mcfarlane

John Mcfarlan
marriage: 22 July 1775 Buchanan,Stirling,Scotland
spouse: Cathrine Mcfarlan

John Mcfarlane
marriage: 15 November 1800 Buchanan,Stirling,Scotland
spouse: Cathrine Mcfarlane

There appear to have been two couples called John & Cathrine MacFarlane in the same parish who married within a year of each other. It will be impossible to say which children belong to which set of parents.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Name: Parlan Macfarlane
• Alt. Birth: 1668
• Alt. Birth: Abt 1720

Notes:

1 - I am a direct ancestor to Donald McFarlane b. 1746 at Ballawell near Buchlyvie, Stirling, Scotland, Chr. 10 Jan 1762 Port of Menteith, Perth, Scotland. Parents: Parlan McFarlan / Elizabeth McFarlan. In a manuscript he wrote and it was publishe d in a book written by C.M. Little about 1893. He states in the manuscript to have descended from Walter of Ardleisch son of Sir John McFarlane, his second wife daughter of Lord Herries. He sights that he is from a son who was given lands at Dulla tor, his son and so on. In manuscript Donald says his ancestors hold Burgess Tickets for Glasgow. In corresponding with the family they have several of these in their possession.
As near as I can find, the pedigree should read: Walter, son of Sir John MacFarlane, had a son, Allaster, who you sight was given lands at Duillator, whose son Walter is the 2«sup»nd«/sup» of Duillator. You list no sons for Walter.
I think I have found from Donald the genealogy goes, his father was Parlan, who is the son of Parlan MacFarlane and Cirsten McKerchar. Do you know the missing link?
[E-mail from Catherine Sutherland rec: 2 Dec 2008 ]

2 - The Macfarlanes of Huntingdon, Province of Quebec
The record of this family is preserved in the form of a manuscript, prepared by Mr. Donald Macfarlane, who was born in Scotland, May 1746, and died Nov. 8, 1835.
The claim of direct descent from MacFarlane of Gartartan, in Perthshire, Scotland, is fortified by the Bible records of the family, also from original " Burgess Tickets' of parchment, showing that for five generations preceding the abovementione d family, the heads of each generation mentioned as "son of, " were burgesses of the city of Glasgow.
The writing of .Mr. Donald Macl'arlane states that Walter, eldest son of Sir John .Macfarlane, by his second wife, a daughter of Lord Herries, got from his father the estate of Dulator, near Port of Menteith. One of his sons lived at Halbertshire , near Denny, Stirlingshire, and had a family. One of his sons went to Ballawell, near Buchlyvie; he had sons, Parlan and George.
