Notes:

Henry I McFarland was born in Ireland according to census records. On his death certificate it says his father was George W. McFarland, and he was from Scotland, but that conflicts with census data. Henry's wife was Millicent Bates Sampson, called Melissa. She was born June 14, 1815 in Massachusetts, and died Nov. 2, 1895 in Battle Creek, Calhoun Co., Michigan, as did her husband Henry.
There are two possible ship records for Henry, one 1833, the other 1834.
