Notes:

This is the Hugh Norman MacFarlane that Mrs C M Little incorrectly identifies as the last descendant of the chiefly line of the MacFarlanes of Arrochar. The name is on the sale bill for the Arrochar estate in 1784 but actually relates to Hugh Norm an Mossman son of the sales agent. So in all probablity this persons name is almost certainly not Hugh Norman. It is this error that leads to Mrs Little in her clan history identifying William Wallace MacFarlane of Arrochar Staten Island New Yor k as the lost chief of Clan MacFarlane.-Ed.

"Memorial and Abstract of Process of Sale of Macfarlane of Macfarlane's Estates, July 7. 1784, at the instance of Hugh Norman, eldest son and heir, served and returned to the deceased Hugh Mossman, writer of Edinburgh.,
Against William Macfarlane, Esq. , of Macfarlane, John Macfarlane, Jr., thereof, and their creditors.
Rental of the lands and Barrony of Arrochar and others in the shire of Dumbarton."

1 - Norman McFARLAN origins are yet unknown. He was probably born in Scotland about 1750 and died 9 April, 1828 in Sharon, Schoharie County New York. He married Margaret McLEAN/McLAAN in Schenectady New York before 1778. Possibly do ur of John McClean of Shawangock Albany County New York. Norman and Margaret were farmers together with his brother Malcolm and Caty Stuart. They are listed among the First Settlers of Schenectady New York, where they lived in Duanesburg, the th ird ward of the city. Their first children were born in Schenectady, while the later children were born in Schoharie County where the family settled with the DeGraffs sometime between 1815 and 1817. Norman wrote his will on April 1825 in Sha ron, Schoharie County, in which he mentions his wife and four children.
The Sale of Arrochar was 7 July 1784. Laird William died in 1787, His heir and son John predeceased him, it is said. This son possibly lived in London in his later years.

2 - It is suggested that this is the Norman McFarlane that Author Mrs C. M. Little erroneously claims to have been the heir of the chiefs line that moved to America in her "History of Clan MacFarlane" published in 1893. Extract below:-
"William, Laird of Mac Farlane, sold Arrochar in 1784, to Furgeson of Wraith, for £28,000.0.0. In
1821, it was sold by Furgeson to Sir James Colquhoun for £78, 000. 0.0.
William, the above-mentioned Laird, died in 1787. Hugh Norman, his eldest son and heir, has been said by all writers and historians, "to have emigrated to America."

As can be seen below from another extract Hugh Norman was the heir of Hugh Mossman not William McFarlane.
"Memorial and Abstract of Process of Sale of Macfarlane of Macfarlane's Estates, July 7. 1784,
at the instance of Hugh Norman, eldest son and heir, served and returned to the deceased Hugh
Mossman, writer of Edinburgh."
