Notes:

Mary Helen Haines notes:

1850 census indicates he moved from NC to TN in 1825. So, he should be in the 1820 Orange Co. NC census as a 28 yr. old with wife, but no children. They could be living in her parent's household. They are not in the household of William who move s to Wilson Co.

There is no proof that this is the son of William who moves to Wilson Co. TN.

There is also a problem with the 1830 census record for a William in Granville Co., while the birth records here indicate a move in the 1820s.

1830 census in Granville Co. NC, South Regiment. Head of family is 30 to 39. one male under 5, one is 5 to 9, one is 15 to 19. 2 females under 5, one is 20 to 29. Lives near James Hoskis, King, Bullock, Wheeler. P. 43. On p. 44 is Abner Adcock an d Peyton Madison. P. 45 is Nancy McFarland, age 40 to 50, widow of James.

1850 census: Carroll Co. TN, stamp 13, fam. 151. William McFarlin, 58, NC, Everline 28 NC, Jones W. 26, Tenn., Wiliam, 24, TN, Franklin 18 TN, Dicey H. 14 TN, Amanda 12 TN, Sylvester 4 TN, then Charles McLemore 24 and Sarah A. McLemore 21 TN. So , wife died, probably with childbirth of Sylvester. There is a conflict with the birth places of Amanda in the 1860 census which says she was born in NC.

Fam. 148 is Erasmus and Celia. Fam. 157 is James Adcock and Celia, with Nancy Mcfarlen. I think this William is the brother to James who died abt. 1819, and therefore the uncle to Erasmus.

1860 census: Gibson Co. Dist. 1, image 11, fam. 77: Wm McFarlan 63, NC, Manda 21, NC, Sm. Harris, 21, NC, laborer, Silvester, 14, TN.

William married Winifred Jones on 1 Jan 1819 in Orange Co., NC. Winifred was born in 1798 in North Carolina; died between 1846 and 1850 in Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Mary Helen Haines notes. Deeds supplied by Susan Pavlech

I am making an assumption:
One is that this William is the son of William and Keziah, and that he is the William Jr. in the 1790 census. Since it calls him William Jr. that would assume that William Sr. is alive. Where is he?

Two: This William McFarland lived near Henry Horton, is the same man that married Henry's daughter Sarah and is the father of two children, William and James, mentioned in Henry Horton's will.

3 Aug 1778 Wm McFarland enters a claim to 400 acres land lying in Orange County on the east side of Flat River bounded on the west by Flat River aforesaid on the north by land of (can’t read) and on the south by a claim of Henry Horton includin g his improvement. From LDS land records Orange County familysearch.org If Wm. McF. Jr. was born in 1760, he would only be 18 yrs. old at this time. So, more than likely, it is his father who has patented the land.

15 Nov 1778 State land grants NC

In 1779 tax list is William Mc Farling, Peter Mc Farling and Thomas Mc Farling. So, this would be the William who patents the land.

Issued 13 mar 1780 entry no 466

William McFarling entered for 400 acres, issued for 370 acres, survery 13 Aug 177?. Peter McFarling & Thos McFarling SCC (Sworn Chain Carriers) on the east side of Flat River bounded on the west by Flat River aforesaid on the east by land o f Peter King on the north by land of John Brown and on the south by a claim of Henry Horton including his improvement. Peter and Thomas being the older sons of William.

So, circumstantial evidence would lead to the assumption that this William is the younger brother to Peter and Thomas.

In 1790 NC census in Orange is Keziah McFarlin, Thomas McFarlin and Wm. McFarlin Jr. on page 096. On page 094 is Walker McFarland. So, William McFarlin Sr. is alive, but missing? Is the William McFarlin in York Co. SC the missing father?

William's patent neighbor is Henry Hunt.

Henry Hunt moves to Wilson Co. TN before 1820. Henry Hunt married Ann Taylor. Henry died in 1825 in Wilson Co. TN where he left a will naming his children. One of them Jesse Hunt is the next door neighbor to the McFarlands in the 1850 and 1860 cen suses in Wilson Co. TN.

I believe that William McFarland, who moved to Wilson Co. TN was living on the land grant in Orange Co. that abutted Henry Hunt, therefore, he was either the person who claimed the land, or he inherited the land from his namesake father.

I don't know where he is in the 1800 and 1810 censuses.

In 1820 he is in Orange Co. NC. He is over 45. 1 male under 10 (Robert), one male 10 to 16 (Ira), 2 females under 10, 2 females 10 to 16, one female 26 to 45, one over 45. Jesse McFarland is living next to him.

In 1830 he is in Wilson Co. TN. He is bet. 60 and 70. Has 2 boys: one is 20 to 30, one is 15 to 20. This corresponds to Ira and Robert. There are 6 women. The oldest is 40 to 50, one 30 to 40, two are 20 to 30, one is 15 to 20, and one 10 to 15. ( Don't know where his wife is-has she died, or is this another younger wife?)

In 1840 he is in Wilson Co. TN. He is bet. 70 and 80. He is living with 2 women 40 to 50 (Sibby and Christina prob.)and one woman 70 to 80 (Catherine). His son Robert is livng near, aged 30 to 40. On page with all the Hunts and Alford Canady.

1850 he is dead. Living in the household is Catherine McFarland, 80, Sibbie 53 and Christina 43, all born in NC. Jesse Hunt is next door, and Robert McFarland is a few doors down. Ira is in Wilson Co. according to the slave schedule, but his recor d cannot be found.

• Possessions: 1780; Bk. 2, p. 279. William purchases 370 a. on east side of Flat R. It is impossible to know if this was a purchase by Sr. or Jr., but it would be more likely to be afforded by Sr. Orange County, North Carolina, USA
• Death: 1799, Orange County, North Carolina, USA

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.
