Hi Andrew,
I have just heard back from Ken MacFarlane that his lineage (as well as Barb Duff's and all the people listed below who appear under BY7791) descend from James's brother Alexander. So we need to update their lineages on the tree with this correct information. Here it is now, https://www.clanmacfarlanegenealogy.info/genealogy/TNGWebsite/getperson.php?personID=I18975&tree=UL . And below is Ken's tree on Ancestry with corrections.

Hi Again;
Yes I have an Ancestry.com tree. Here is the link to Alexander. The Unknown McFarlane listed as his father, I did that so I can connect James and Alexander as brothers.

https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/26805488/person/342076323440/facts

Barb and I descend from Alexander's son William. I descend from William's first child Charles, and Barb descends from William's son Richard.

This is my section of the spreadsheet.

It appears that we (me and Barb) do not descend from James McFarland but we descend from his brother Alexander (b. Ireland - d. 30 Dec 1843, Studholm, NB, Canada) married to Catherine (married name unknown). Alexander immigrated to New Brunswick a few years after his brother and settled in the Kierstead Mountain area. James settled in the Kingston Peninsula area.
