Notes:

Mary Helen Haines notes:

There are no Cocke Co. TN records from this time period since the courthouse burned twice. However, on his tombstone, which reads "In Memory of...." it states he was born there. Not sure who erected the tombstone, or how old it is, however, it is among the very oldest in this cemetery.

From the History of Johnson County, pub. 1881, by the Kansas City Historical Company, available on-line:
540 HISTORY OF JOHNSON COUNTY. "George McFarland was born in Tennessee in 1793, and died in Chil- howee township, Johnson county, in 1862. Samuel McFarland, Sr., was a native of Tennessee, and came, with all his father's family, to Missouri territory in 1816, and settled in Cooper county, near Otterville; then in about four years thereafter removed to the Sni-a-bar creek, in Lafayette county. He came with his family to Centerview township in 1843, and settled about two miles east of the present depot at Centerview. Here he purchased about 400 acres, and resided thereon till the year 1850, when he removed to Texas. He died in the year 1861. George McFarland, the brother of Samuel, came to Centerview about the year 1843, and settled about two miles south of the present village of Centerview. He died there some time before the war. He was given to quaint, dry expressions, which were wont to produce great merriment among his friends."

Missouri records:

Lafayette County, Missouri 1830 census, p. 258 has Samuel McFarland, bet. 20 and 30, next to George McFarland, bet. 30 and 40, and near Sarah McFarland, bet. 50 and 60. In Samuel's household is one male under 5, one female under 5, and one female bet. 5 and 10, as well as wife bet/ 20 and 30. A Robert Morrow family is on the same page.

Lafayette County, Missouri 1840 census has Samuel McFarland, bet. 40 and 50, George, bet. 40 and 50, and John bet. 30 and 40. Samuel has living with him four boys and four girls. They are living in the Clay township. Image 17/40.

1843 they move to Johnson County.

Bef. 1850, the family moved to Texas, witness the census record below.

Samuel McFarland received a Mil. 3rd class Patent on Dec. 15, 1856 in Burnet Co. for 297 acres. That means he was living there for at least 3 years before the patent. Patent #780.

Samuel and Jane McFarland are buried in the Mt. Zion Cemetery, near Bertram, TX. This must be near the land grant.

To get there: Take Hwy. 29 east from Burnet, turn south on FM 303 before Bertram. When 303 runs into #243, turn west (right) at #330, follow signs to Mt. Zion, which is up a small road that runs north from #330. It crosses the South San Gabriel river at a shallow spot. It is a well-maintained cemetery, that was once named for the Jennings family (Samuel's neighbor) who donated the land. Samuel W. McFarland, his probable grandson, who died in 1758, is among the very first burials.

The notes below and the information of Samuel Arthur McFarland's descendants in Texas is the work of Donell Frazier and comes from her work and website. The connection to George and Sally Jack is still unproven speculation, but based on likely connections. We need a Y-DNA test from a male McFarland descendant to confirm this relationship.

SAMUEL McFARLAND

Samuel McFarland, the original settler of that family to arrive in Burnet County, was born in 1800 in
Cocke County, Tennessee, died March 11, 1861, in Burnet County, Texas, and was buried in the Mt.
Zion Cemetery near Bertram. The names of his parents are unknown since the records of Cocke County,
Tennessee, were destroyed in 1897 when a fIre engulfed the courthouse there.
McFarland was married September 15, 1824, at New Lebanon in Cooper County, Missouri, to Jane
Pricilla Morrow, who was born in October 1805 in Madison County, Tennessee, died November 8, 1879
in Burnet County, Texas, and was buried in the Mt. Zion Cemetery .She was the daughter of James Gillis
and Mary Davis Morrow. James Gillis Morrow was born c. 1774 aboard ship in the Atlantic Ocean, and died sometime after 1805. He was married before 1797 to Mary Davis in South Carolina, and they lived in Clarksville, Tennessee.
The McFarlands were of Scotch descent, and are derived from the McFarlane clan whose residence was near famed Loch Lomond in Scotland. Family tradition says that the first McFarland in this country from which the family is descended was born aboard ship while crossing the Atlantic Ocean to America, and was born on the day that the "mid-way bottle" was drunk. The McFarlands landed in South Carolina and then moved westward into eastern Tennessee.
The tradition continues in the family that Samuel was a friend of Sam Houston in Tennessee, and that
they visited the Indian Reservation together. When Houston was Governor of Texas he visited often in
the McFarland's home.
The McFarland name was originally spelled Macfarlane or Mcfarlane. By the time members of the family had reached Missouri it was changed to Mcfarland, and by the time the family arrived in Texas they were all spelling it Mcfarland. By 1900 most of the family were spelling the name McFarland.
An 1881 History of Johnson County, Missouri, reveals that Samuel McFarland came with all his father's family to Missouri in 1816, settling in Cooper Counry near Otterville. In four years they went to Sin-a-bar Creek in Lafayette County Missouri, and Samuel came with his family to Centerview in 1843, settling about two miles east of the depot at Center view. There 400 acres were purchased and the family resided upon the property until 1850 when they moved to Texas.
Another family tradition states the Mcfarlands fought in the Black Hawk Indian War in 1831, and before
coming to Missouri had also fought in the Revolutionary War at King's Mountain. In later years several of the Mcfarlands also served in the War Between the States.
Samuel McFarland and family came to Texas around 1849 and were in Williamson County at the time of the 1850 Census. He took up land in Burnet County around 1852. On May 19, 1856, two of his neighbors, .John Jennings and Samuel M. Bingham, swore before the Burnet County Clerk that McFarland had been living on his land and cultivating it for the past three years. On December 15, 1856, Governor E. M. Pease granted him 297 acres situated about six miles south and east from Burnet (in the Mt. Zion neighborhood).
After Samuel's death, all but 40 acres of the land was sold on August 22, 1863, and the family, Jane and sons George Jackson, James Gillis, Samuel King, and Francis Marion, moved to Cow Creek farther south in the county , taking their possessions with them. However, the Indian depredations and raids became so severe that they soon left possessions and cattle behind and fled to the safety of Burnet.

Written and compiled 1974 by

Mary E. Lawes McFarland

In her work, she found written a history which says Samuel came to Missouri with his father's (unnamed) family in 1816.

Notes:

Mary Helen Haines notes:

This George McFarland, son of John and Mary Kinder, has been confused at times with the George McFarland who married Nancy Golden in 1801 in Knox Co. TN. Some contend that Sally Jack died and he then married Nancy Golden. They contend that there were three children from this first marriage: George, Frances, and Nancy. If this is so, then that George Sr. would have to be living in two places at the same time.

A George McFarland married Betsey Maddux March 16, 1812 in Greene Co. TN. (This appears to be George Jr., son of the George who moved to Knox Co. KY). There are two other children who seem to be the children of George Sr. who moves to Knox Co. KY: Frances McF. born 1795 in TN, married to James Helton on Nov. 16, 1820 in Knox Co. KY, and Nancy McF. born 1797 in TN, married to Thomas Mattox in 1820 in Knox Co. KY.

Nancy Golden was born 1771 in Lincoln, Wilkes Co. GA (?). The family is in Knox Co. KY in 1810 as George McFarlin (26-45), next to Duncan McFarlin. In 1820 in Lynncamp Creek, Knox Co, on same page as Duncan McFarland and Rachael McFarland is George McFarland (26-44). In 1830 George (40-49) is still present along with a George McFarland Jr. (30-39) It seems likely that the George McFarland of Knox Co. KY could be associated with the Duncan McFarland family of Knox/Whitley Co. KY who had once lived in Greene Co. TN. The ages of the George McFarland of Knox Co. KY in the various census records do not always fit with the age of George McFarland born 1769.

The George McFarland who is the son of John and Mary Kinder is in the 1800 census in Buncombe Co. NC and appears to be the George McFarland who purchased land in Morgan Co. MO in 1825. See below.

Tennessee:

The Jefferson Co. TN marriage records reveal that a George McFarland married Sally Jack Jan. 5, 1793. The McFarland family was neighbors with the Jack family in that area that became Cocke Co. when it was created in 1797 from Jefferson Co.

Samuel Jack was a neighbor of John and Mary Kinder: Samuel Jack entered several tracks of land in Greene County, Tenn. in 1784 and qualified for them in 1794 and 1797. They were located on the French Broad River. This could possibly be the father of the Jack daughters that marry George and Benjamin McFarland. Samuel Jack and John McFarland appear on various records together. They were neighbors in the area of the Big Pigeon and the French Broad, along with the Wards and the Evans. John McFarland, husband of Mary Kinder, moved to Buncombe Co. NC abt. 1799 with most of his children.

On July 8, 1795, a George McFarland was made a Lt. in a Regiment of Infantry for Jefferson Co., Territory South of Ohio. It is not clear which George McFarland this is referring to. It could be the one who later moves to Knox Co. KY

North Carolina:

George McFarland is listed in the 1800 census in Buncombe Co. NC. He is bet. 26 and 45. , his wife the same. He has two boys under 11, two girls under 11.

Deed Records for Buncombe Co., NC show a purchase of 100 acres on the West side of the Pigeon R. by George McFarland on April 20, 1802 from John McFarland, Jr (husband of Rebecca Bell) for $120 , (Buncombe Deed Book 7, p. 160-161) Then on November 18, 1804, George McFarlin is selling the same land back to John McFarlin Jr. on Nov. 18, 1804 for $230. ( Deed Book 9, p. 323-324)

Some researchers believe that George McFarland was the first of this family to go to Missouri, and it was his messages back that led to the rest of the family moving.

Missouri:

Cooper County Tax List 1819 - 22. McFarlands: Alex, David, Elijah, George (two), Jacob, James Sr., James Jr., Jesse, John, Samuel, William (two). One William would be William son of John and Mary Kinder, and the other would be William Bell McFarland, son of John and Rebecca Bell McF. (This would be George Sr. and Jr.)

A George McFarland patents 80 acres on Aug. 1, 1825 in Morgan Co. , just south of the patent made by his brother James McFarland on Otter Creek in Cooper Co.

The next two patents by George McFarland, must be his son, made in 1835 and in 1838 in Lafayette Co. for a total of 80 acres in the same location 49N, 28 W, sect. 13, and 12. In the same township and range: 49 N-28 W, in sec. 13, 11, and 14 are patents issued to John W., Samuel, and William from the years 1827 to 1838.

There are several George McFarlands in the earliest records in Cooper County MO. As Cooper Co. gets divided, in the 1830 census there is a younger George Mc. in Lafayette County, along with a Samuel and a Sarah, which could be referring to Sally Jack McFarland, possible widow of George McFarland, Sr. This seems to be the son of George Sr. and Sally Jack McFarland.

I believe Sally Jack's father to be Samuel Jack of Jefferson Co. TN, and that Samuel Arthur is named for him, and the Sarah McFarland, living near George and Samuel households in Lafayette County Missouri in 1830 census, is the widow of George McFarland family.

***

In 1840 census in Lafayette Co. there are Samuel, George, and John McFarland families. In 1850 they are all gone. Samuel Arthur McF. has moved to Texas but his brothers stayed behind. George, born 1793, son of this George Sr., is now living in Post Oak township, Johnson Co. along with his brother John W.

There is another George McFarland family in nearby Johnson Co. MO in the 1830 census in Warrensburg. This George is between 20 and 30, and an Alexander McFarland is between 30 and 40. These two brothers are the sons of John McFarland, b. 1780, son of Robert and Margaret McNutt of Jefferson Co. TN. Therefore these families are cousins. George moves back home to Jefferson/Hamblen Co. TN before the 1850 census. His brother Alexander goes to California but dies the next year. George leaves behind a young son William who moves in with the Barton family, and they move to Texas also.

James G. Morrow, supposed father of Jane Morrow is living in Jackson township of Johnson Co. at this time. In the 1850 census, John W. McFarlan, 46, born TN, is living in same Post Oak township as Robert McF. 23, born MO, who is living with his father George 56, born TN.

Alexander 45 TN is living in Johnson Co. still, and also a Samuel, age 27 MO is present.

In 1860 Robert 35 is still present with his father George now 66. Samuel is not present, but his wife Milly and children are.

Concerning the other possible children; there are several marriages that take place in Cooper County in the early years that indicate children who could be from George and Sally.

Lucinda McFarland marries Samuel Glass Nov. 28, 1822.
Polly McFarland marries James Hill Oct. 11, 1821
Elly McFarland marries William Tucker Aug. 31, 1826

Because of the sale of Morgan Co. land in 1836 we know that only Lucinda above is one of his: the rest belong to someone else.

Deed Records for Buncombe Co., NC show a purchase of 100 acres by George McFarlin in 1802 from John McFarland, and then John buys it back in 1804. It is odd that he would sell the land to his son, whereas he gave land to his other sons. Also odd is the spelling in the deed records. It is clearly spelled McFarlin for George and McFarland for John. That indicates to me that we are talking about two different families. I believe this George McFarlin sells his land and moves to Kentucky where he married Nancy Golden.

I think there is a possiblility that George McFarland, husband of Sally Jack, did not move to Buncombe Co. with the rest of the family, and instead moved to directly from there to Missouri.

There are several George McFarlands in the earliest records in Cooper County MO. As Cooper Co. gets divided, in the 1830 census there is a younger George Mc. in Lafayette County, along with a Samuel and a Sarah, which could be referring to Sally Jack McFarland, possible widow of George McFarland, Sr. I would assume that someone from this line has done the research to distinguish this George from the other George in Johnson Co., but the families seem intertwined in the records.

I believe Sally Jack's father to be Samuel Jack of Jefferson Co. TN, and that Samuel Arthur is named for him, and the Sarah McFarland, living near George and Samuel households in Lafayette County Missouri in 1830 census, could be this family. In 1840 census in Lafayette Co. there are Samuel, George, and John McFarland families. In 1850 they are all gone.

There is another George McFarland family in nearby Johnson Co. MO in the 1830 census in Warrensburg. This George is between 20 and 30, and an Alexander McFarland is between 30 and 40. James G. Morrow, supposed father of Jane Morrow is living in Jackson township of Johnson Co. at this time. In the 1850 census, John W. McFarlan, 46, born TN, is living in same Post Oak township as Robert McF. 23, born MO, who is living with his father George 56, born TN. Alexander 45 TN is living in Johnson Co. still, and also a Samuel, age 27 MO is present. In 1860 Robert 35 is still present with his father George now 66. Samuel is not present, but his wife Milly and children are. I am not sure if these families are connected, but they are distinct from the George McFarland family of Knox Co. KY that married Nancy Golden.

George married Sally Jack on 5 Jan 1793 in Jefferson Co., TN. Sally was born in 1773 in Pennsylvania; died between 1830 and 1840 in Missouri. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: 1830, Lafayette, Missouri, USA

Notes:

Mary Helen Haines:

It is not known who the parents of Sally (Sarah) and Ruth Buchanan Jack are. The only hint is the presence of a Samuel Jack who is buying and selling property in the area around the French Broad and the Nolachucky Rivers.

A Samuel Jack was present in Greene County TN during the late 1700s and was a neighbor of John McFarland. They appear together in various records. He was present as late as 1799, where he is selling property along the Nolachucky River.

Sally Jack could very well be the Sarah McFarland in the 1830 census in Lafayette Co. MO. She is shown as 50 to 60 years old. She is living with two women 20 to 30, and one male ten to 15, and another 20-30 (that would be John W.).
