Notes:

In 1812 Thorton McFarland is listed as being in the 2nd Co. Orange Co. Regiment. In 1814 he is listed as bing in the 1st Regiment.

Does not show in the 1810 census, but in 1820 he is in Orange Co. p. 398.

In 1830 Thorton McFarland is on p. 42 of the Granville Co. NC South Regiment Census. He was born bet. 1790 and 1800 and is near Richard Umstead Henry Wheeler, and William Jones. there are 4 males, the oldest 30 to 40, then 1 under 5, 1 is 5 to 10
, 1 is 10-15. Females: 1 under 5, 1 is 5 to 10, wife is 20 to 30. He is on the same page as Larkin McFarland.

On page 43 is William McFarland, born 1790 to 1800.
Page 45 is Nancy McFarland, born 1780 to 1790. The widow of James McFarland.

Do not know Thorton's father. At first I speculated it to be William, because his first named son is William. However, it could be Larkin Sr. by a first wife before Patsy Madison.

He is in Carroll Co. TN in 1840.

In 1850 he is in Gibson Co. next to William, (born 1818 in NC) who would appear to be his son.

In 1860 he is in Gibson Co. , HopeHill on same page as Willliam.

In 1870 he is in Gibson Co., next to William

Thornton married Leanna Madison on 26 Dec 1817 in Orange Co., NC. Leanna (daughter of James Peyton Madison and Elizabeth Bailey) was born in 1796 in North Carolina; died in 1880 in Carroll, Tennessee, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Mary Helen Haines notes:

There are two Larkins. The elder was born bet. 1770 and 1775. He married Patsy Matterson in 1803 in Orange Co. He was a witness to the will of Henry Horton in 1805.

The census records for this Larkin McFarland do not show any children from a previous marriage. Therefore the connection of Larkin Jr. to this Larkin is not feasible, nor Thorton. So it is much more likely that Larkin Jr. and Thorton belong to a W illiam McFarland.

Found an L. McFarland in Orange Co. in 1810, age 26 to 45, next to two families named Pierce, and Umstead. p. 857, with a male and a female under 10, and female 16-25. According to one tree on Ancestry, Keziah who married William was a Pierce.

There is no solid connection to William and Keziah except timing and location. So he is here temporarily until better connections show up.

In 1820 census he is in Orange Co. NC on p. 398, next to Richard Umstead, Betty laws, Simpson Adcock, then Thorton McFarland. Larkin is over 45, with 2 males under 10 (Radford and Wesley), a male 10 to 16, a female 10 to 16, and his wife Martha 2 6 to 45.

In 1830 census he is in Madison Co. TN, p. 104. Males: one 50 to 59 (Larkin), one 20 to 29 (?), one 15 to 19 (Radford), one 10 to 14 (Wesley), one boy under 5. Females: one 30 to 39 (Martha), one 5 to 9, one under five.

In 1840 he is in Dyer Co. TN, Image 31/40. Males: 2 under 5, one 30 to 40 (his eldest son), one 60 to 70 (Larkin), Females: 4 under 5, 2 age 5 to 10, 2 age 10 to 15, 1 is 15 to 20, one (Martha) is 50 to 60. Neighbors, Kimbro, McCorkle, Robinson

His death happened in 1841 in Dyer. He has a son Wesley, born 1817 who is in the 1840 census in Dyer also, Image 39/40. In the 1850 census is son Radford McFarland, born 1814 in NC, fam. 287. But where is the eldest son, who was living with Larki n in 1840 census.

Need to find the land sale records in Dyer County and see who sells Larkin's land.

Notes:

James Peyton Madison, married to Mary Laws lived in Granville Co. NC, seems to have these children:

Sarah (Sallie) Madison who married Henry McFarland in 1800 in Orange Co.

Martha (Patsy) Madison who married Larkin McFarland the elder in 1803

Ann (Nancy) Madison who married James McFarland in 1809

Notes taken from on-line discussion of the Madison family:

Peyton Madison
THE RECORD OF PEYTON MADISON, SR. OF ORANGE CO., NC. We can only guess when Peyton Madison, Sr. was born. We can find no record of his age. How old he was would be of great help in determining who his father would have been. We think he was born i n Virginia in the late 1750's. His father is suspected to be John Madison. We judge that he must have been at least 21 years old in 1779 as he is listed as a tax payer, owning land in Orange Co., N. C. To pay taxes on land he must have owned the l and. A person had to be at least 21 years old to buy land back in 1750. Unfortunately there is no way to find out when he bought his land the early Deed Books and Court minutes were buried by the Orange County officials to prevent them from fallin g into the hands of the British soldiers during the Revolutionary War. When the British left the officials dug up the books and found they had all rotted. So all the records left of the period of Orange County are the tax records and many of thes e records are lost or missing.

Library Book:
Orange Co., NC Records (975.0565 R28b), Peyton Madison is witness to deed of George Laws, Sr. Book 2, pg 249. (Don't have date.) Peyton Madison, Sr., one of surveyors on June 22 1780 for two different Land Grants.
Orange County, NC Land Entries 1778- 1795, (975.6565 R28p) page 172, #1308. June 21 1780. Payton Madison, Sr. enters 150 acres in Orange Co. on the waters of Flat River, has border with "Gravel Co. Line". Includes his improvement. Issued Payton Ma dison, June 1, 1781.

Abstracts of Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, Orange Co., NC 1787- 1798. (975.6565 P28c) There is a tax list for 1782 that Peyton,Sr. had 260 acres of State Land in Granville County N.C. and 50 acres of unsurveyed land in Orange Co., N.C. Thi s land was described as adjoining the Granville and Orange County line. The lines of Granville and Orange Counties were changed on May 18, 1789.

By the way, taxes were paid in the county where a person lived, no matter where the property was located in the 1700's. Peyton Madison, Sr. had previously received a land grant and an order had been made for this land, 150 acres, to be surveyed. T he record was recorded in Granville County, but the land was in Orange County. The document also had "Including his Improvements." written as a separate line. This means Peyton, Sr. was or had been living on the land, had built a house and possibl y other structures and was already engaged in making a living. There is no way to tell how long he had been there, but evidently, he had been there long enough to farm the land and determine he could make a living from it and wanted to claim it fo r himself.

Since Peyton, Sr. lived there by himself for four years before his marriage, on February 20, 1785 to Elizabeth Bailey, he must have been trying to establish and settle a home before he started a family. From the old tax records we can learn a lo t about Peyton Madison, Sr.

The tax list for 1801 indicates Peyton Madison, Sr. has died as his son William is paying taxes on the same amount of land as listed by Peyton Madison, Sr. for the past 10 tax lists. Peyton Madison, Sr. died in Aug of 1800.

Now the fact that William Madison, his son is now paying taxes tells us two very important things. One, William was at least 16 years old (at that time in N.C., history, men were required to pay taxes beginning at age 16). And two, since William w as paying taxes and 16 years old that makes William the oldest son of Peyton Madison, Sr. His father was married in 1785.In Orange County court minutes for the May 29 term 1792, is an account as follows: "Administration of the estate of John is gr anted Peyton Madison in the sum of 80 pounds. And he enters with Isaac Hicks and George Laws, his securities. John Madison must be a brother of Peyton Madison, Sr. He is too old to be Peyton's son. The value of the estate would be 40 pounds, hal f the bond price or value. It is probably a horse and saddle. There is no record of a John Madison paying taxes in Granville or Orange Counties. The court minutes for the August and November terms have been lost so we have no record when Peyton tu rned in his administrators report. Peyton Madison, Sr's. estate settlement papers have been located in the Orange County minutes, in the May and August 1800 minutes. Also in the Orange County Estate Records Book, 1754- 1849 there is the original h and written administrator's report dated August 29, 1800. We are now sure that Peyton Madison Sr. died in August 1800. With a close look at the inventory, we can learn several things about Peyton, Sr. and his family. As there were "six spoons, kni ves and forks." This tells us there was or had been six people in the family. There was Peyton, Sr., his wife Elizabeth, William, Peyton, Jr. and two more children. We think one of these children was a son named Bailey Madison. In 1806 Granville C ounty tax list has Elizabeth Madison paying taxes on 105 acres of land. This indicated her husband is dead and she has received part of his land and that the estate has been settled. Women in 1806 could not buy or own land unless it had come to he r through inherited property. On the 1822, Granville Tax list there was a Bailey Madison, with no land but paying a pole tax. This means he was of voting age, 16. We can't think why anyone would name a son "Bailey", except to carry on a family nam e as many people do. His mother, we think would have been Elizabeth Bailey Madison. Bailey and Peyton Madison, Jr. were about the same age.
When Peyton Madison, Sr. died in 1800 the Administrators bond was 500 pounds. They used the British monetary system back in 1800. This means the estate was worth 250 pounds. This inventory listed all household and farm property, but, no land is me ntioned. However, the land value is include in the amount of the bond. Judging from the items listed in the inventory, Peyton was not a rich man. It's not so much what he had, as what he doesn't have. For instance, there were no, brass or pewter o r silver or gold things, like plates, pitchers, bowls or candleholders, etc. If he had any brass candle holders or pewter bowls or a clock, he would be considered to be a "man of substance." The above items mark wealth.
Was Peyton Madison, Jr. the son of Peyton, Sr.? Yes we have found the record. In Granville County Deed Book 9 page 99, dated November 7, 1839, Peyton Madison, Jr. sold to Redman Forsythe, 56 acres of land for $117.00 "descended by his father, Peyt on Madison, deceased.
Peyton Madison, Jr., was probably born in 1787 or 1788. Peyton Madison, Jr. married Elizabeth Cary of Maryland. The date of the marriage is unknown. Elizabeth's father was Levin Cary. Peyton had land and lived near his father on or near the Orang e and Granville County line, Peyton and Elizabeth Cary Madison had a large family of twelve children as stated in the book of Lives of Christian Ministries, dated 1909. Their names were not listed. Four of his daughters are listed in the administr ators report in the settlement of his estate, by his son in-law Larry Burton. They were Martha, Elizabeth, Maria and Eliza. The names of the twelve children are listed later. By the way, Peyton Madison, Jr. is listed on the 1820 Granville County c ensus as being between 26 and 44 years old. Obviously, he is nearer 26 and born before 1800. I am not sure where this fits in but I feel I need to enter it here because of dates.

James married Elizabeth Bailey on 20 Feb 1785 in Granville, North Carolina, USA. Elizabeth was born about 1764; died in 1833 in White Co., TN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Elizabeth Bailey b.1764-1766 Granville or 1753 unk d. 1833 White Co. TN. md 2/20/ 1785 Granville Wilkes Co. NC. d/o Jeremiah C. Bailey b. 1/24/1737 Kent Co. VA d. 1814 Granville and Lucretia "Crecey" Fuller b. 1742 Granville D. 1834 Granville.

After Peyton died in 1800, wife Elizabeth Bailey went to White Co TN where she died. My guess is that she went there with or following their son Baily Madison.

Mary who I believe was youngest unmarried child of William would have gone with her.
