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.

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]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Name: Caroline or Rebecca Rule

Notes:

Mary Helen Haines notes:

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.
