when still a child to Tennessee and shortly afterwards to Kentucky. In 1807
Robert came to Champaign County to make a permanent location. ...a prospecting
trip with Martin Hitt and Joseph Diltz. The impelling reason for McFarlands
leaving Kentucky was his intense hatred of slavery. In Oct 1807 the McFarland
family arrived in the county and stopped for a short time in the Northern part
of the present Union Township. ...They quickly made a cabin. In this cabin,
William McFarland and his family and Joseph Gray, his father-in-law, lived from
October until the following spring. They then moved to Salem Township on a
tract about half way between Urbana and West Liberty. Still later the two
families located about 2 and 1/2 miles SE of Westville in the Mad River
Township. Robert McFarland bought the farm of Henry Bacome. In the winter
1811/1812, Robert McFarland built a cabin on his newly acquired farm and in
April 1812 moved into his new home.

Cousins, Joseph (1761) and William McFarland (1755) of Peters Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, fought in the revolutionary war. After the war they settled in Rockbridge County, Virginia where they married the sisters Rebecca and Margaret White. Around 1783, Joseph (1761) removed to Greene County, Tennessee, where he remained until about 1793 when he removed to Harrison County, Kentucky. About the same time, his father William (1731) and his brothers William (1763) and Benjamin (1765) joined him there. His cousin and brother-in-law William (1755) also came about that time. These five gentlemen are the seed for the McFarland families of Harrison County, Kentucky. Virtually none of the family would remain however. They began to migrate to Greene County, Ohio beginning with William (1763) who arrived there between 1798 and 1803. Joseph (1761) moved there in 1810, and Arthur must have arrived before 1814 when his daughter Eliza was born. It is unknown what became of Benjamin (1765) after 1810, but presumably he migrated with the family and died soon after, or he died in Kentucky and his family migrated with the rest of the McFarland clan. The patriarch of the family, William (1731) died around the time of the migration. It is thought his wife survived him and died in Ohio.

HISTORY OF GREENE COUNTY.

William McFarland, Esq., emigrated from Kentucky, and came with his family to this township about 1804, and purchased one hundred and fifty acres of land on Massie's Creek, a short distance from where Cedarville now stands. There was no trading point then nearer than Xenia, and that was a small affair. Salt was hauled from Chillicothe, and could not be had nearer. Mr. McFarland soon became a prominent man in the sparsely settled neighborhood, and served as foreman on the first grand jury in the county, in 1804.

My notes:
D.A.R. number A076838. Record says he served in the Cumberland Co. Militia

There are two William McFarlands in Cumberland Co. PA during the Revolutionary War. It all depends on the unit and what part of the county it is connected with. The other William McFarland lived in Pennsboro township. This William McFarland lived in Peters township. Since he moved to VA in 1778 with his parents, it would also be necessary to check the year for the service.

By any chance, is the William Mc Farland in Nicholas Co. KY in 1800 tax list, and there in 1810 census with one over 45, 7 under 16, total of 11, the same as this one who is in Harrison Co. in 1820? Nicholas is adjacent to Harrison Co. KY. Another adjacent county is Fleming Co. that has a Robert Mc Farlen on the tax list for 1800.

a tract in Augusta County, 240 acres. Andrew died testate in
Augusta, devising to his wife and sons, Thomas and John. Andrew's
widow died intestate and her part descended to Thomas, the eldest
son. After Andrew's death, a patent issued in Andrew's name for an
entry of his for 115 acres, but some one struck out Andrew and
inserted John. John died testate, without issue, devising his lands
to his wife, Elizabeth, for her life, with reversion to her son,
John Varnum. Then Thomas Boyd died intestate, leaving complainants
his heirs. But Elizabeth Boyd and William Moore, who bought claim
of Varnum, set up an adverse claim. Answer says Andrew Boyd died

when he was not more than 12 or 15 years old. Andrew Boyd's will
