    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

    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.

    James married Caroline Rebecca Rule about 1804 in Overton Co.TN. Caroline was born about 1787 in Fentress Co.TN; died about 1834. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Have not seen a marriage record for Caroline/Rebecca Rule.

    Most sources say that she died in 1840. However, that would mean that she was 49 when Young McFarland was born. One source says that Young McFarland's mother was named Elizabeth Story. However, his wife is named Mary Story.
