when still a child to Tennessee and shortly afterwards to Kentucky. In 1807
Robert came to Champaign County to make a permanent location. ...a prospecting
trip with Martin Hitt and Joseph Diltz. The impelling reason for McFarlands
leaving Kentucky was his intense hatred of slavery. In Oct 1807 the McFarland
family arrived in the county and stopped for a short time in the Northern part
of the present Union Township. ...They quickly made a cabin. In this cabin,
William McFarland and his family and Joseph Gray, his father-in-law, lived from
