Not sure if this is the John who marries Elizabeth Madison in 1798, nor sure how Elizabeth Madison is connected to the Madisons.

John is present in the 1810 census of Orange Co., age 26 to 45, with wife the same, and 5 children: 2 boys under 10, and 2 girls under 10 and 2 girls 10 to 16. According to this census, John would have been born 1785 to 1794, so this fits.

A Thomas McFarland marries Elizabeth Rose on April 30, 1796. This must be a different Thomas McFarland.

So how is Thomas McFarland connected to Henry Horton?

27 May 1797 Henry Horton to Thomas McFarlin Deed B06 P330

1798: Land Deed Thomas Mcfarlin sells to John Mcfarlain 77 1/2 acres on south side of Dials Creek, a branch of Flat River. Adj. to Julius king and Archer Harris. Wit. Joseph Britan and James Moore

So, what this Thomas married to a Horton daughter? Why did he sell the land?

Is this Thomas McFarland the same Thomas McFarland that appears in the Caswell Co. censuses from 1810 through 1840. He was born around 1771 to 1775, and died before the 1850 census. It looks like he and his wife had 5 children from 1800 to 1810.

Thomas McFarland in Caswell Co. married Rachel Winters in 1796. So, this is another Thomas, but then who is this, and is he related?

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

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.
