Notes:

The census of 1920 showing Jim S. Scroggins with wife Iva, born in Texas, says that Jim is born in Ky. Also, Loma is not present, but shows brother Harland, and sister Hazel.

"James S was a cowboy, and was not a good farmer, but he did try, and he gave up the life he loved, after Sterling Rodney was born, as his wife, Iva Lena McFarland wanted him to stay closer to home. He and Iva stayed close to her parents until Arthur, her father, died, (before April 16, 1998, as I calculated. It seemed that shortly after sterling was born, 1/21/1893, they all moved to Chickasha, Indian Territory, now oklahoma, where Arthur Rodney got a job as a mailcarrier." notes from Loma Patton, 2004

Notes:

Mary Helen Haines notes:
During the Civil War, Arthur is first recorded as being at Ft. Washita on Dec. 27, 1861. He is 17, black hair, dark eyes, dark complexion, on a horse valued at $150. and rigging $35. He is part of Taylor's Regiment of Texas Mounted Rifles, 22nd Cavalry, Co. C. On the Muster Roll for Jan 16, to June 30, 1862, the Co. C is now call the 1 Indian Reg't Texas Cavalry, and it lists the enrolling commander as J.W. Piner for a period of 12 months. Then the next muster role is for June to Dec. 1862 and it says that he was discharged July 16, 1862 by order of Gen. Albert Pike, in compliance with Act of Congress approved April 16, 1862. Other records for A. McFarland show him enlisting on August 9, 1862 at Fort Washita for the duration of the war. He was part of the 31st Regiment, Texas Cavalry, also known as Hawpe's Regiment Texas Cavalry or Mounted Volunteers that was organized first on May 14th, 1862 with companies A to H. Company I was organized on August 9th, 1862. Then on December 28th, 1862 he is listed Absent without leave. Then in March and April of 1863 listed an Present and entitled to bounty, and last paid on June 30th, 1863.

On census in 1870 Arthur is shown at 26 married to Mary E, age 30, from Illinois, with three children using McFarland name: James F. 3, Lillian E. 5, and Edwin age 1. In 1880 Arthur and family is found in Coleman County, Texas where he moved after the family argument over the land erupted after father James' death with no will and mother's will leaving the land to Arthur and brother Newton. Deed records show that his father alloted 150 acres to Arthur from the original land grant, but mother Jane left Newton and Arthur the 302 acres she and James had still in their name.

"Arthur McFarland, during his life, was a school teacher and a circuit preacher - a rancher - and at the time of his death he was a sub - contractor for a Star Route Mail Carrier, out of Chickasha, Oklahoma, then Indian Territory. He died the *8th of October, 1899 of diarrhea, at Chickasha, and as I have stated before, is buried there.... Mama always said the happiest days of her life were those when she and her father camped out near the school where he taught- going home only on weekends." * "I was unable to find the actual date of Arthur's death, so, in order to obtain the stone (memorial at McFarland Cemetery) I used the birthdate of his daughter. Does it matter so much what date a man dies, more than the memory of his life?" Loma Scroggins

Loma Patton thinks Arthur died shortly before the birth of Noble Dugan Scroggins (his grandson born in Princeton Texas), because Arthur's wife Mary Ellen moved to Princeton with the Scroggins family. She thinks that Arthur died in Chickasha, Grady County, Oklahoma and is buried on a hill-Rose Hill Cemetery. If he was buried there, the on-line records of those gravesites do not mention him.

Coleman County: Beginning in September 1879, Mary E. McFarland settled on land surveyed for W.D. Wyatt in Coleman County in June 1879. She purchased the 160 acres of that pre-emption survey #137 from him in June 1882. Papers were filed and the official state patent #519 was issued to Mary E. McFarland for the 160 acres on May 23, 1884. But while this was happening, it seems that another pre-emption was being filed. On October 18, 1881 a survey #154 was done for 160 acres of vacant land for Arthur McFarland, that he occupied starting in August 22, 1881. A proof of settlement was filed on August 25, 1884. That land was adjacent to, and surrounding, the W.D. Wyatt survey #137. Then on Sept. 9, 1884, Mary E. and Arthur McFarland sold survey #154 of 160 acres to D.F. and W. B. Roddan for $200. The property was resurveyed Nov. 1886 as a corrected survey.

Arthur married Mary Ellen Terry on 17 Nov 1867 in Fannin Co., Texas. Mary was born in 1840 in Greene Co., Illinois; died in 1921. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: 1880, Precinct 9, Coleman, Texas, USA

Notes:

Her marriage certificate to J.F. Chamlee lists her name as Mary A. Terry, instead of Mary E. as she always signed.
"Mary Ellen was a faith healer, and my older Sister, Prudence, told me how she would stick her with pins to "get the devil out of her." notes from Loma Patton, 2004
Mary McFarland was found living as an inmate in the insane asylum at Las Vegas, San Miguel County, New Mexico in the 1920 census. ED 180, p. 15 A. Loma told me that Mary Ellen did not have a permanent home after Arthur died, but moved around from relative to relative. Edwin got a phone call to come get her in 1921 in New Mexico, but when he went to where she asked him to come, she was gone and no one knew what happened to her. It seems the family did not know she had been living in the asylum. It is not known where she is buried.
