    Notes:

    According to C.M. Little, James married Sarah Randall (p. 199).

    Will McFarland's research:
    He is mentioned in his father's will of 1770 and witnessed his stepmother's (Margaret) Will in 1780.
    He purchased land in West Pennsborough in 1781, and acknowledged satisfaction of a mortgage in 1786. However, he does not appear in the Big Spring church membership of 1789. Will concludes that he possibly died or moved away. He would have been 64 at the time. Will believes that the James McFarlan who owned land in Mifflin township is this same James. In court records an area later known as Doubling Gap, was called McFarlan's Gap in 1791, and the land was divided between his two sons, John and William, and this two sons-in-law, Robert Galbreath and Samuel Mitchell. These children, John, Hannah, and Mary stay living in the area. This information conflicts with the information Floyd C. McFarland wrote. I think Floyd must be talking about a different James McFarland because the James McFarlen mentioned below in the Land-Links, would have been in North Carolina in 1772.

    Researcher Floyd C. McFarland in Missouri has this same James as married to Rebecca Campbell and moving to North Carolina.
