    He could not have been married 15 years. Caroline Law McFarland was alive till 1892. Catherine and Richard were married in 1898. The inclusion of Grover C. on this census is a little strange. He appears on the census with his brother Henry B. also, but with a different birthdate.

    Richard married Mary Walker in 1856 in Murray Co., Georgia, USA. Mary was born in 1838 in Blount Co., Tennessee, USA; died in 1888 in Fannin Co., Georgia, USA; was buried in Blue Ridge, Fannin County, Georgia, United States of America. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    Mary Helen Haines notes:

    From information written by descendants of Richard Clay McFarland, Caroline Law was the 1/2 sister of Mary Walker. Different father, but same mother. Caroline probably moved in to help her half-sister, and then became the mother to Richard Crabtree's children. The only way to know for sure is for one of these sons of Caroline Law to take a DNA test.

    Children:
    1. James McFarland was born in 1858 in Cohutta Springs, Murray, Georgia, USA; died on 29 Oct 1940 in Mineral Bluff, Fannin, Georgia, USA.

Generation: 4

  1. 8.  James C. McFarland, BY28612 was born in 1785 in Virginia (son of Joseph McFarland, BY28612 RoM02 and daughter Gullion); died between 1860 and 1870 in Clinton Co., Kentucky.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Name: James C McFarland

    • Residence: 1830, Fentress, Tennessee, USA
    • Residence: 1850, Districts 6 and 11, Fentress, Tennessee, USA
    • Death: Aft 1860, Clinton Co., KY

    Notes:

    Mary Helen Haines notes:

    We know through YDNA testing that this line is connected to the line of Robert McFarland of Lancaster Co. married to Jennet and definitely not the son of Alexander McFarland and Lydia Priest. That family is a completely different haplogroup.

    Big Y 700 testing has made clear that the James C. line is the same haplogroup as the George McFarland b. 1776 in VA, and the Duncan McFarland, b. 1774 in VA, and the Barnabas McFarland, b. 1825 in KY lines: BY28612. George and Duncan must have been brothers to James C. and Barnabas the son of another brother who died before his name showed up on records. The only son of John and Mary Montgomery who is unaccounted for is Joseph, b. 1745, who died abt. 1792, but was living in the area that became Wythe Co. along with his brothers till the rest moved on Tennessee in 1783/4. It appears that Joseph's children moved to TN (Overton/Fentress) and KY (Knox and Whitley).

    Fentress County was created in 1826 from Overton County.

    Records:
    1820 census record in Overton County for James McFarland has a male 26-44, with wife in same range. Two males under 10, which would be Wesley born 1817 and another. The John McFarland born 1808 in some trees would be incorrect. There is a female also under 10, and the Mary Ann in some trees born 1805 would be too old also.

    1830 census in Fentress County
    2 males under 5: Samuel born 1828, age 2 and another unknown
    1 male 5-9: James Evans born 1825, age 5 (so if there is a William born 1824, where is he?)
    1 male 10-14: Wesley born 1817, age 13
    2 males 15-19: born 1810-1815...unknown
    1 male 20-29: born 1800-1810...unknown--could be John who shows up in 1833 tax list
    1 male 40-49: born 1780 to 90: James born 1785
    2 females 5-9: Anna, born 1824, age 6, and another
    1 female 10-14: ? Nancy Jane born 1820, age 10
    1 female 30-39: Rebecca Rule born 1790-1800

    ? Mary Ann born 1805 25 years old, probably married

    In 1833 tax list for Fentress County is James McFarland, John McFarland

    1840 census in Fentress County p. 19
    1 male under 5: Young born 1836, age 4
    1 male 5-9: Andrew James born 1832, age 8
    2 males 10 to 14: Samuel, born 1828, age 12, and ? James Evans, born 1825, age 15?
    1 male 15-19: William, born 1824, age 16
    1 male 40-19: James C. born 1785, age 55
    2 females 15-19: Anna, born 1824, age 16; and Nancy Jane born 1820, age 20?
    1 female 40-49: mother of Young?

    Wesley is in own household age 20 to 30, p. 19

    Prisilla, 55, KY

    So, there are several unaccounted for children or people living in this household in the census records.

    Older notes:
    QUESTIONABLE LINK: Believed to be the son of Alexander McFarland and Lydia
    Priest, but not conclusive. Probably based on geographic locale and lack of
    any other persons.

    WIFE: Records of Howard in Flint, TX, from his Aunt Lillian who was very close
    to grandmother Susannah Caroline Wood McFarland. THeir family records state
    that James C. McFarland of VA/Frentress Co TN/Clinton Co, KKKY(1785-1860?) was
    married to a Barbara Young. This is believed to perhaps be his second wife.
    Note, the second wife alos listed as Elizabeth ____. This may be a clue for
    researchers. SOURCE (2001) from Mary Haines.
