The Kendrick Family: His wife was Clarissa McFarlane, both born in the year
1800. Below is an obituary of Clarissa McFarlane Kendrick written by her
grandson, William J. Kendrick:
OBITUARY: IN MEMORIAM OF CLARISSA KENDRICK:
Wife of James Kendrick, who died in Elk Garden Russell County, Virginia, August
2nd 1877, aged about seventy-seven years......She had lived a member of the
Methodist Church South fifty-five years.....James Kendrick's father must have
been Captain Kendrick in the Revolutionary days of Washington County, when it
included all of southwest Virginia. His wife's mother was a Price, a daughter
of Colonel James McFarlane and his father was William, who was in the great
Indian battle at Point Pleasant in 1774. He was wounded in this battle having
one of his eyes knocked out by an Indian arrow. William McFarlane was a Captain
during the Revolution. He was an Indian fighter, a Captain of his company in
case of Indian raids. His son, James, also was a Colonel in the War of 1812. He
had a son, Alexander, who was the father of John McFarlane who was the father
of the present McFarlane generation. SOURCE: INTERNET:
CHAPTER VI
The John McFarlane Family: His father was Alexander and his father was Col
James and his father was William, who was in the Indian battle at Point
Pleasant, Ohio as has been stated. Children of John were William, Albert, John
Carl and George. His wife was Lou Hurt. One daughter Lizzie, died young. Col.
James was the father of Dr. McFarlane and Clarissa McFarlane. Their mother was
said to be a Price. Clarissa was the wife of James Kendrick.
...George Hopkins lived in Rosedale most of his life. He lived to be
seventy-one years old and was buried west of Oaks Garage. Just a short distance
from where he is buried is the old McFarlane Cemetary, where Col James, his
wife, Father William and son, Dr. McFarlane are buried. Williams's grave has no
marker, just where it might be is lost forever to his posterity.

Alexander married Mary Alexander about 1824 in ,Russell, Virginia. Mary was born on 15 Sep 1799 in Washington Co., Virginia; died on 4 Dec 1877 in Rosedale, Russell Co., Virginia; was buried in McFarlane Cem, Rosedale, Russell, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Mary Helen Haines notes:
Mary T. Haines sent me the book by Lake McFarlane Parsons. She has lots of information, but unfortunately, does not give her sources. Some of the information she cites is incorrect regarding James's siblings, etc.

She does not mention if he was the James McFarland who was briefly with brother Alexander, John, Daniel in Greene Co. KY and claimed 200 acres. His name appears there and is gone, and it seems as if Alexander absorbs his claim.

HISTORY: "The Heritage of Russell Co, VA 1786-1986" at LDS -FHC on microfilm.
Page 267 Col. James McFarlane, husband of Jane Price, lived on a large acreage
of land at Rosedale, VA which he inherited from his father, William McFarlane.
Born in 1767, he was active in many events of early Russell County History and
served in the State Legislature. Their five children were Alexander, Augusta,
Clarissa (md Kendrick) and James M. ...... John A., son of Alexander, married
"Lou" Ann Hunt of Tazewell County.
QUESTIONABLE LINK: Records of Linda Sykes state that Alexander Jackson
McFarland's father had a brother named James. Most researchers of her family
state that this James was the one who married Jane Price. Linda Sykes notes
that many in her family did marry into the Price family, but that James who
married Jane Price possibly could have been an uncle instead of a brother,
since he was born several years earlier than the rest.
This family has definitely linked Joseph, William Monroe, Christopher, and
Robert C. as siblings. Other siblings: Angie, Rebecca and B.L. supplied by
James C. McFarlen. It is also believed that there was a brother James, but
the early birth date of 1767 is troubling.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: 1782, Montgomery County, VA

Notes:

Mary Helen Haines notes:
William appears in Chalkey's book as a son of Duncan in 1753. He must have moved south-west from the land near Warm Springs, to the land near Wolf Creek sometime before 1774 and his father-in-law panicked. It is interesting to note that this family line always lived north of the John McFarland line that settled around present day Wytheville. When they moved further south and west, they followed the northern mountains down the Clinch River; whereas John's family followed the Holston River.

Augusta Co. VA records:

1753: Vol. 1, p. 58: shows March 18, 1753 a reference to Duncan McFarland and his son William (abt. 1732-1791) (p. 453 in Order Book I, Augusta County) See next entry which gives more details. This would be referring to the land they first lived on in Augusta Co. when they were neighbors with James Lockart.

From Neel-Dickson Genealogy, Chapter 10, by Wm. Trent Neel, pp. 268, 269:
1753: March 18. James Lockhart "made oath that he was afraid Duncan McFarland and his son William would kill or injure some of his stock of creatures" Order Book 1, p. 453, or Lyman Chalkey's Chronicles, Vol. 1, p. 58.

1774: Vol. 1, p. 179: Order Book XV, March 22, 1774 listed William McFarland, no inhabitant. (p. 433)

1775: Vol. 1, p. 185: Order Book XVI, p, 76: Alexr. Gibson petitions that William McFarland, his son-in-law, has moved out of the Colony, and his children are not properly provided for, viz: Isabella, Alexander, James, Mary, Daniel, Eleanor and John.--They are to be bound to said Alexander, their grandfather. William had moved west to the Wolf Creek area of Montgomery Co. that today is Bland Co.

In what becomes Montgomery Co. (but is Bland Co. VA today):

1774: William McFarland (son of Duncan), assignee of Andrew Lyda (Lyday), 300 acres both sides of Wolf Creek branch of New River, settled 1770. From Early Adventures on the Western Waters by Mary Kegley, LDS microfiche 6125902 Vol II page 66 (original page 139) and Page 111 (original 123)

From all later records, the land is on the Muddy Fork of Wolf Creek, near the present town of Grapefield in Bland County.

Military Records:

1774: From the Preston and Virginia Papers, Vol. 1, p. 78 "Lewis, Col. Charles. Letter to (William Preston) mentions (July 9) Captain Dickinson's skirmish with the Indians and wound received by William Mc Farlan at Warm Springs; people in great confusion." There is some concern about whether this is all the same William McFarland because you can see by the dates, William was listed as "no inhabitant" in March, 1774, and was instead in the southwestern part of VA buying land along Wolf Creek it is presumed. However, he is the only known William McFarland. Did he go south earlier to establish his claim, return home to pick up his family, get wounded in July 1774 and then return south and join Daniel Smith's company in the same year? I guess that is possible. The Capt. Dickinson is John Dickinson who was a neighbor in what became Bath County. This incident happened prior to the Dunmore Expedition when Indians became enraged over the April 30, 1774 murder of peaceful family members of Chief Logan by Daniel Greathouse and other militiamen who were part of Capt. Michael Cresap's Company. Many of those militia men then were in the company of Capt. Hancock Lee, including William McFarland. What is missing are exact months for these rolls.

It is interesting to note that there is a William McFarland who appears in Capt. Hancock Lee's Company in 1774. (Virginia's Colonial Soldiers, by Lloyd Bockstruck, pub. 1988, p. 142-3) Included in that company is the same Daniel Greathouse. It is hard to tell if this is the same William McFarland in all three places in 1774, serving with Capt. John Dickinson, Capt. Hancock Lee, and Capt. Daniel Smith.

1774: a William McFarland served in the militia of Capt. Daniel Smith guarding the frontier. When the names of the men in this list are compared with the tax list of 1782, it seems that it includes the men who are in the area that becomes Russell Co. in 1786 along the Clinch River. (not sure that the William along the Clinch is the same William as the one at Wolf Creek, but the distance is not too great). This group did not participate in the expedition to Point Pleasant, but did guard the frontier against Indian incursions.

1781: Montgomery Co.: Capt. Thomas Ingles Co. with William McFarland (son of Duncan), Wm. Lyday, John Gullion and Barnet Gullion soldiers. This district is near Wolf Creek, in present day Bland County. This list does not overlap with the lists that include John and Robert of Reed Creek in what becomes Wythe County. Source:
Militia of Montgomery County, Virginia by Mary Kegley, 1990, p. 16. R929.37557 K26M 1990, at the Dallas Public Library (Capt. Thomas Ingles was living in Burkes Garden)

1782: Tax List for Montgomery County:
William McFarelane with one tithe, 10 horses, 20 cattle. (William dies in 1791 at Round Mountain, Wythe Co. Today that is Bland Co. near Wolf Creek close to town of Grapefield.)
Alex McFarelane next to him with one tithe, 1 slave, 2 horses, no cattle, next to Robert Crawford. (Not sure which Alexander this is....son of William, or brother). Robert Crawford is next to them. He was married to Isabella McFarland, William's daughter. {Another Alexander McFarland, born abt. 1780 later married Mary Crawford in TN in 1802. That Mary was the daughter of Robert and Isabella Crawford.} Joseph, Willliam, and Alex McFarlane are living near Thomas Ingles, Peter Groseclose. It is uncertain who this Joseph is. There is a Joseph McFarland, brother of John and Robert McFarland, part of the line of Robert and Jennet McFarland from Lancaster County, PA that was living in the Reed Creek area from 1771 on. We don't know when he died or exactly where he was living, but this could be him.

The land grants to William McFarland were not finalized until after his death. It seems that there was a dispute between the Ohio Company and the Loyal Company as to who owned this land...and then there were the disruptions of the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War. With the creation of Tazewell County in 1799 things began to be finalized based on the original surveys.

William McFarland died in 1791. Tradition says he died at Round Mountain. The Muddy Fork of Wolf Creek flows just north of Round Mountain. The valley where people lived is the present town of Grapefield. His son James McFarlane was given the administration of the estate in 1791, and as early as 1801, his son Daniel is deeding over his portion to James while he was living in Cumberland Co. KY. During the ensuing years, James, living in Russell County pays the taxes and is considered the owner. James gets Isabella McFarland Crawford's portion in 1817 while she is living in Greene Co. TN. I have not found any more records of the other siblings relinguishing their portions to James.

In the Wythe Co. tax list of 1793 there is a Louesa McFarland in Sect. 3, north of Walker's Mountain, James Davies Commissioner. It was recorded on May 22. Also recorded on this same day was Thomas Neel (Neal), husband of Eleanor McFarland, daughter of William McFarland. This would be Bland County today. There are no other McFarlands in the list. We know from later records that Eleanor and Thomas Neel moved here from Augusta Co. (she was married there around 1774), and that they lived in what is Grapefield today. Thomas did not own any land (that I have found), they must have been living on William's land, because in 1825, James refers to her living on this land that belonged to him as long as she lived.

It looks as if Louesa (Lucy, Lucresa) could be the 2nd wife of William McFarland, and mother of Rhoda and Martha McFarland. Martha (b. 1784) marries their neighbor in 1802 (mentioned below), and Rhoda, born around 1789, is binded out in 1801 to John Peery. That could mean that Louesa died that year.

Tazewell County records:
In the Archives of Tazewell County, p. 167, says William McFarlin (assignee of Andr Lyda) is granted 195 acres on Jan. 9, 1805, surveyed on Feb.25, 1775 for the Loyal Company, on both sides of Wolf Creek. Grant #54, p.8

Other grants refer to another 72 acres. Of particular interest is the grant made to Daniel Justice in 1809 that refers to his grant going to the corner of the 72 acres granted to William McFarland. Daniel Justice's son, George Justice, married a Martha McFarlon (b. 1786) in 1802. ( It is believed by some that Martha is a daughter by William McFarland's second wife.

James McFarlane continues paying taxes and in the Archives, p. 147 is the list of county taxes in 1814: It reads:
Wm McFarland est. Tazewell, 195 acres Wolf Creek 39 SE
72 acres Wolf Creek 39 SE
107 acres Wolf Creek 39 SE

In 1790 tax list for Russell County is a Robert, Alexander, and James McFarland. James is the son who became the administrator for William's estate in 1791. Robert is the Robert Henry, considered a son of Alexander Sr. the son of Duncan.

Washington Co. formed in 1777
Russell formed in 1786.
Wythe Co. formed from Montgomery in 1790.
Lee formed in 1793
Tazewell formed in 1799. The Wolf Creek area was in Tazewell until the formation of Bland in 1861.

Notes:

Elizabeth must have died shortly after the birth of her youngest child Daniel. Records indicate that her husband William moved south at that time looking for new land opportunities, because records indicate he was present in the Wolf Creek area by 1770.
