| 101 | Sources say that Sarah is the daughter of John Hermann Knochenhauer, mother Lydia. Sarah appears in records in Frederick Maryland with a birthdate of Jan. 30, 1784 in Frederick, Frederick, Maryland and a christening date of Aug. 7, 1785. Evangeli cal Reformed Church. Here is info on this father: http://bonecutter.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=59 Johann Hermann Knochenhauer bio by Loyd Bonecutter on Sat Mar 21, 2009 5:31 pm Fritz Knochenhauer (Denver, CO) wrote: Johann Hermann Knochenhauer, born 1755 in Hessen, Germany, was the first documented Knochenhauer in America. Assigned to the Hessen-Kassel Artillery, he fought initially for the British during The Revolutionary War. A cannonier, he was first captured in Trenton, was exchanged, then rejoined the Americans as Johannes Bohnard. His unit captain reported him missing in action on January 4, 1782, after he was captured by the British during the Battle of Yorktown u sing the name Bonecutter. German "soldiers-for-hire" fought for both sides of the Revolution, but Johann Hermann fought on each side and lived to tell about it! He settled in Frederick, MD with his wife, Lydia Ann, whom he married in Germany, later moving to Virginia and lastly, Ohio. In 1792, he reportedly was detained in Virginia while befriending a 46-year-old runaway black slave named Duck, and used the name John Harmon Bonecutter. They were accused of stealing grain. Harmon and Lydia both died in 1831 in Leesburg, OH, leaving two daughters and four sons who prodigiously carried on the Bonecutter legacy. He is buried in Olinger-Barger Cemetery in Fayette, OH. Their children were named: 1) Martin Bonecutter, b. 1775, Virginia; 2) William Bonecutter, b. Abt 1775, unknown location; (later referenced as "Wm. Buncutter") 3) Sarah Bonecutter, b. Jan. 30, 1784, Frederick, Maryland; 4) George Bonecutter, b. Feb. 20, 1786, Frederick County, Virginia; 5) Christopher Bonecutter, b. 1788, Frederick County, Virginia; 6) Catherine Bonecutter, b. May 4, 1797, Virginia It is unknown if any later Knochenhauers anglicized the name to Bonecutter. Why the name Buncutter/Bter was introduced is open to speculation. Comments welcome. Records exist of other Knochenhauers emigrating from Germany since this time, but the bloodline is unclear at best, my family included. | Knochenhauer (Bonecutter), Sarah Ann (I16217)

| 110 | 1 - 20e. Duncan MacFarlane, Gentleman, who was born circa 1735 at Rowchoish in Craigroystan, Buchanan Parish, Stirlingshire, Scotland, and died in Scotland in 1783 (buried on Inchcailleach in Loch Lomond, Buchanan Parish). One source states that he spent time on Jamaica, if so, he returned to reside at Croch Coille near Ardess in Buchanan Parish, and later on Inchfad in Loch Lomond, Buchanan Parish. Duncan married (banns 13 March 1756, Buchanan Parish) Katharine MacGregor, sister of Duncan MacGregor (born 1749; died 28 October 1815) from Rowchoish. [from 'The barons of Arrochar and their cadets' a manuscript by Chevalier Terrance Gach MacFarlane, chapt. 5 - 25e p3] 2 - 23 TS This I'll defend (per J G Smith, Strathendrick 101) This is the Appointed burrying place of Duncan M'FARLANE and Katharine M'GRIGOR in Inchfade and their children 1783 shield, saltire engrailed between four roses (for McFARLANE) supported by two armed highlanders. 24 (at head of 23) Duncan McFARLAN & Kathren McGRIGOR in Inchfad, da Christie d 22.11[1783] 18 [ Buchanan-Inchcailloch churchyard MI ] 3 - Duncan, Katherine and most of their offspring are buried on the Isle of Inch Cailleach [in Loch Lomond] [ Macfarlane of Balmaha tree rec 29 Mar 2008 ] 4 - The ruins [of the church ] show that it was a small and narrow building standing east and west. Near the spot where the high altar stood, a fine old dressed stone six feet four inches long, is lying in the grass. From its shape it is probably the lid of a stone coffin. All the graves with tombstones are to the west of the church, and, counting the enclosed burying place of the Mitchells in Arrachymore as one, there are twenty-three memorials of the dead still in existence. There used to be more. Some were removed to the New Buchanan churchyard. Many are now over-grown by the turf and are invisible, and doubtless many a good man and woman were laid to rest with nothing above them save the green sod. The names of M'Gregors and Macfarlanes predominate, but not to a very large extent. Among the few interesting stones is one called " The Templars' Grave." No one knows why. There is no lettering on this old stone, but cut into it is a sword with is on the hilt. It lies north and south immediately to the west of the Mitchell's enclosure, and was probably removed from its original position when Arrachymore formed his family burying place in 1778. In the Mitchell enclosure many of this well-known race are buried. To the south of it is a curious old stone. It has a cross incised upon it, with a sword lying on the cross. Towards the bottom of the stone there is still visible : 1695 c WMA Close to the west end of the church is a fine large stone on six pillars. It bears the motto IN GIW ANQ SPAIRE NOT above the M'Gregor coat of arms ; under these is this inscription : HERE LIES GREGOR M'GREGOR OF THAT ILK WHO ENDED THIS LIFE ON THE 9 DAY OF FEB RWARIE 1623 AND OF HIS AGE 32. A little further off is another interesting old stone on pillars with this motto : THIS ILL DEFEND above a Macfarlane coat of arms, under which is cut : THIS . IS . APPOINTED . FOR THE . BURRYING .

Inchfad however became the home of a registered distillery. You can still see the ruins on the island to this day, Inchfad distillery was run by an ancestor of the MacFarlanes of Balmaha who today run the island mail service and boat yard. A canal was built to minimize the distance that the raw materials for the whisky had to be man handled, the canal has recently been re-furbished and is approximately 1/4 mile long. There are two houses on Inchfad, a modernized bungalow which served as the original farmhouse and a wooden house used as a holiday home.

| 111 | 1 - 53rd Regiment of Foot Formed as the 55th Regiment of Foot [1755] Renumbered 53rd Regiment [1757] Arrived Quebec [May 1776] Surrendered at Saratoga [Oct 1777] 2 - Miss Margaret Elizabeth, elder daughter of the above John, sworn at Aberdeen on 29 May 1827 in which she "depones that Major James Macfarlane (grandson of Andrew of Ardess, the 18th Chief) was Cousin German of the deponants' s grandfatherWilliam, the 21st Chief)." Thus the House of Ardess at the death of Robert, the 24th Chief, became successors to the title of Macfarlane of Macfarlane and heirs male of the ancient House of Lennox. This Major James of Ardess was therefore the 25th Chief and his eldest son, Duncan (if he survived his father), the 26th laird. Major James had three sons, but as according to the testimony of the Miss Macfarlane of Macfarlane already referred to, they all to the best of her knowledge, died without leaving ; heirs male (the two younger sons did. not marry), the line again failed. [History of Clan Macfarlane Vol. II (manuscript by James Macfarlane] 3 - James, eldest son of Duncan, like his father, adopted the army as his profession and ultimately attained the rank of Major. On 13 August 1754 he married Jean Forbes, a daughter of Sir Alexander Forbes of Foveran and had a family of three sons and two daughters, Duncan, William, James, Henrietta and Maria Susannah. At the time of his marriage James was a Lieutenant in Beauclerk's Foot. The conversion of the Regiment into the 53rd of the line was completed early in 1756 and James was appointed one of the first captains (30 December 1755). He was promoted Major as from 30 August 1768. In the spring of 1776 the Regiment was sent to assist in the relief of Quebec. Major James MacFarlane's name still appeared; in the Army List of that year, but had been deleted and that of Lord Balcarres substituted under date of 9 December 1775. The obvious inference is that Major James died or retired on or before that date, and too late, in 1775, for the alteration to be made in the Army List for 1776. He certainly died before the middle of 1782 as in an obituary notice in the Aberdeen Journal and in the record of her Will, Jean Forbes, who died on 15 August 1782, is described as "widow of Major James MacFarlane of the 53rd Foot". In some ms notes in the possession of Major W Lachlan Forbes, evidently written in 1849, James is referred to as "Son of Duncan, third son of Andrew MacFarlane of that Ilk". As to the family of Major James and Jean Forbes, we are indebted to the researches of Major W Lachlan Forbes, who has published the following: "At Aberdeen the Twenty Ninth Day of May eighteen Hundred and Twenty Seven Years. In presence of William Kennedy esquire Sheriff Substitute of Aberdeenshire. Miss Margaret Paton, 'being solemnly sworn and interrogated' as to the family of Sir Alexander Forbes of Foveran, Bart., and Lady Forbes his wife, one of the Skenes of Skene, Depones that their daughter 'Jean married one of the family of MacFarlane of MacFarlane.' Another witness; Mrs Catherine Leslie, depones that she recollects hearing of the death of one of Mrs MacFarlane's sons but she cannot say which of them, and she has not heard of any of them being alive for the last forty years and upwards'. A third witness, 'Miss Margaret MacFarlane residing in Dundas Street, Edinbr. who being solemnly sworn Depones that she always understood from her Aunt who is now dead, that Major James MacFarlane was married to a daughter of Sir Alexr. Forbes of Foveran. And Depones that the said Major James MacFarlane was Cousin German of the Deponent's Grandfather (William, 21st Chief). Depones that they left three Sons and two Daughters. That the eldest Son went abroad much more than forty years ago and has never been heard of, and the two other Sons died unmarried, and that it was never heard of that the Eldest son who went abroad was married or left issue. Depones that one of the Daughters married a Mackenzie and went to the West Indies with him more than thirty years ago, and the Deponent has not heard of her, for many years and never heard of her having any Family, and the Deponent has not heard of the other Daughter, and has every reason to believe that she is dead without issue, and that the three Sons before refered to would have been heirs male to the Family of MacFarlane failing the Deponent's Uncle (Presumably Robert - Ed). And all this is Truth as the Deponent shall Answer to God." (signed) "M. E. MacFarlane" As Miss MacFarlane of MacFarlane was the person most likely to have accurate knowledge of her immediate kinsmen, these statements on oath are almost conclusive that the issue of Major James, in respect of heirs male had died out.

| 112 | 1 - Andrew died fighting against the French in the War of the Spanish Succession, at the Battle of Malplaquet on the French/Belgian border. 2 - The Battle of Malplaquet was a battle of the War of the Spanish Succession that took place on September 11 , 1709 between France and a British–Austrian alliance (known as the Allies). The British and Austrians were led by John_Churchill 1st Duke of Marlborough and Prince Eugène of Savoy , with a contingent of Dutch troops, while the French were commanded by Marshal Villars and Marshal Louis Franois Boufflers. Each side had about 90,000 troops, and were encamped within cannon range of each other near the Belgian border. The Austrians attacked at 9 am, pushing the French back into the forest behind them. The Dutch broke off to attack the French right flank and were defeated with heavy casualties, but they distracted Boufflers enough that he could not come to Villars aid. Villars was able to regroup his forces, but Marlborough and Eugène attacked again and forced Villars to retreat by 3 pm. The Allies had suffered so many casualties in their attack that they could not pursue him. By this time they had lost 20,000 men, twice as many as the French. It was the bloodiest battle of the war, and prevented the Allies from moving on towards Paris .

| 113 | 1 - Apparently this "younger son" went to Jamaica (possibly to join his cousin, Alexander, third son of John the 19th Chief, his father's eldest brother) for we have the statement (see House of Ardess Chapter 26) that he was home in Edinburgh in 1764 and intended to return to Jamaica in the spring of 1765. From Miss Margaret's statements it might reasonably be inferred that this Duncan died without leaving a son. The Alexander mentioned above was Miss Margaret's grand uncle and if the younger Duncan, as we have suggested, joined Alexander in Jamaica, Miss Margaret would know of his family affairs through her grand uncle, Alexander, with whom her other grand uncle Walter, the Antiquary, and her grandfather, William, were apparently in close touch. [History of Clan Macfarlane Vol. II (manuscript by James Macfarlane] 2 - 23 August 1755 Alexander McFarlane will names uncle William McFarlane of Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland; mother Helen Spottiswood and brother John Spottiswood of Spottiswoode, Berwickshire, Scotland; cousin Andrew McFarlane, St. Mary's Parish, Jamaica; widow of Robert McFarlane, late shopkeeper in Salt Markett St., Glasgow; cousin Duncan McFarlane; brother Walter McFarlan of Scotland; brother William McFarlan of Edinburgh (Jamaica Wills, 30:72). (McFarlane Chronology Scotland (with a few early American & Jamaican records) [http://lib-operations.sonoma.edu/fin/aaa-0059.html ] 3 - On 23 November 1764, he was in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland and was said to be planning to return to his plantation on Jamaica in the Spring of 1765. Four of his sons are said to have followed him to Jamaica. Sometime later he and his wife, Jean, are said to have returned to Lochlomondside where they lived with their eldest son, Walter at Glen of Luss farm, Luss Parish, Dunbartonshire, Scotland. Duncan spent his last days alone in Kilmaronock Parish, Stirlingshire, Scotland before finally being found dead in the snow in Bonhill Parish, Dunbartonshire. [from 'The barons of Arrochar and their cadets' a manuscript by Chevalier Terrance Gach MacFarlane Chapt 5 - 19b] 4 - Duncan, the younger son of Duncan (I). It would seem that this Duncan emigrated to Jamaica and returned to Edinburgh in 1764. A letter dated 23 November in that year written by a member of the Erin's family, (also named Duncan) to his father contains this reference to [this] Duncan: "There is just now in town a cousin of the Laird of Macfarlane (Walter, 20th Chief ), son to Captain Duncan, come from Jamaica. He goes back in Spring." Our information ends here. It is for the clansmen in Jamaica to bridge the gap, if it can be spanned from 1764 to 1928. A letter to The Daily Gleaner of Jamaica elicited no adequate response. [History of Clan Macfarlane Vol. II - a manuscript by James Macfarlane] 5 - Captain Duncan the fifth son had two sons, Captain James and Duncan, but we do not know, as stated above, whether his son Duncan, who was alive in 1764, left a family.

| 114 | 1 - Battle of Malplaquet, This took place in northern France, on the border with Belgium, north of the village of Malplaquet on the 11th September 1709. In August 1709 Marlborough and Prince Eugene of Savoy took Tournai and moved on to besiege Mons. Marshal Villars, was ordered to raise the siege, and with an army of 80,000 men, took up a strong position. Marlborough advanced with 110,000 allied troops. Villars was wounded in the battle and Boufflers, who had taken command, eventually fell back on Le Quesnoy, having lost 17,000 men to the Allies' 25,000. 2 - In 1708 Marlborough and Eugene by winning a great victory at Oudenarde, took Lille and finally drove the French back to within their borders. Further attempts at peace negotiations failed, and the imperial forces in 1709 won a very costly victory at the Battle of Malplaquet, with the loss of many lives. Lord Orkney himself had nearly his entire regiment massacred at a French entrenchment, while Marlborough and Eugene were still reeling from their losses. Another account has this to say about events at Malplaquet: ..."it was under very changed conditions from Blenheim when Marlborough met the troops of Louis at Malplaquet. France was well-nigh worn out by the prolonged war. Famine within her borders, military disaster without, had caused her imperious ruler to look anxiously for peace. To this end his craftiest Ministers sought by offers of individual advantage to detach the Allies from the pact. Their efforts failed. The Alliance held fast, and demanded such humiliating conditions that Louis was obliged to renew the struggle. On the other hand, the political situation in England was such that Marlborough felt the necessity of achieving some victory that would justify the continuance of the war. Had he consulted only himself, he would have welcomed a cessation of hostilities, but he knew that France must be further stricken if the peace was to be enduring. In September, 1709, the capitulation of Douai to the Allies, and the approaching investment of Mons, brought the hostile armies closer together. The French, to the number of 110,000 were under the courageous and capable Villars, with whom was Marshal Boufflers, the brave defender of Lille. Marlborough commanded much the same strength of various nationalities with his tried comrade and friend Prince Eugene. Villars encamped in a strong position between two woods near the little village of Malplaquet. The Allies were drawn up opposite to him. For two nights and a day, the French general was allowed to strengthen his position by digging trenches and clearing his front, till early on the morning of the 11th September the Allied troops were led against him, the soldiers expressing their contempt at being "obliged to fight against moles". Villars believed in his trenches and filled them with infantry, posting his cavalry in the rear. The disposition of the Allies was a frontal attack, with a threat to enfilade the enemy's left. Led by Prince Eugene and Marlborough the line advanced against the French left and centre. Several times it was beaten back, but the attack was fiercely renewed. Half an hour after the battle had opened the young Prince of Orange, acting without orders, flung himself against the right of the trenches, only to be repulsed with a loss of 2,000 men. Although the Allies had not made much headway their onslaught on the flanks had withdrawn all the infantry from the centre, leaving the French cavalry exposed. Instantly Marlborough turned his cannon on the horsemen, following up the fire with a cavalry charge headed by the Prince of Auvergne. The charge had to be driven home no less than four times before the French gave way, but in the end the line was pierced. The French retreat was orderly, the Allies being too exhausted for pursuit. The cost to the victors was 18,000 killed and wounded; to the vanquished 14,000. Writing of the battle many years afterwards, Bolingbroke said: " A deluge of blood was spilt to dislodge them, for we did no more at Malplaquet."

| 117 | 1 - I think I have found 2 independent census records for William's son Colon (or Colin). This is important because William's son Robert died before the census asked about parentage. The 2 census records I found (1875 State of Minnesota and 1880 Federal) list the place of birth of Colin's father as Scotland. So this is the first paper trail I have that tells us that William did immigrate to America. Perhaps William followed his uncle to America, or perhaps they traveled together. [E-mail from Richard Becker cc'd to editor 6 Mar.2011] 2 - From 2 census records (1875 and 1880) but not verified: Colin McFarland, b 1815, NY. Father's birthplace: Scotland. The reason I believe this is the "right" Colin M'F is because I know that Colin lived in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin with his mother after they both moved from NY in the mid 1800s. I have the obituary of Colin's mother stating these facts. The above census record was taken from a town in Minnesota, only 200 miles from Fond du Lac. There are no other Colin M'F in census records anywhere near this location. This Colin did have a wife and children. I won't give you those details yet until I try to verify this is the right Colin. I also am working on finding information on Robert and Colin's brother William. [E-mail from Terrance Gach MacFarlane to Richard Becker cc'd to editor 7 Mar.2011] | MacFarland, Colin (I11214)

| 118 | 1 - In September 1739, when the independent companies of the Highland Watch, or Black Watch, were formed into the Highland Regiment (soon thereafter the 43rd Regiment, later the 42nd Regiment, and now The Black Watch, The Royal Highland Regiment), he was one of the original officers as a captain-lieutenant, but he retired in 1744. [from 'The barons of Arrochar and their cadets' a manuscript by Chevalier Terrance Gach MacFarlane Chapt 5] 2 - Duncan the fifth son of Andrew of Ardess, was a captain in the British Army. He married a French lady and had two sons, James and Duncan. One of the original officers of the regiment, when the six independent companies of the Black Watch were formed into the 43rd Highland Regiment in 1739 was a Captain-Lieutenant named Duncan Macfarlane. He was attached to the Company of George Grant of Ballindulloch and retired in 1744. [History of Clan Macfarlane Vol. II (manuscript by James Macfarlane] 3 - The Black Watch - The Formation The design of rendering such a valuable class of subject available to the state by forming regular military corps out of it, seems not to have entered into the views of the government till about the year 1729, when six companies of Highlanders were raised, which, from forming distinct corps unconnected with each other, received the appellation of independent companies. Three of these companies consisted of 100 men each, and were therefore called large companies; Lord Lovat, Sir Duncan Campbell of Lochnell, and Colonel Grant of Ballindalloch, were appointed captains over them. The three smaller companies, which consisted of 75 each, were commanded by Colonel Alexander Campbell of Finab, John Campbell of Carrick, and George Munro of Culcairn, under the commission of captain-lieutenants. To each of the six companies were attached two lieutenants and one ensign. To distinguish them from regular troops, who, from having coats, waistcoats, and breeches of scarlet cloth, were called Saighdearan Dearg, or Red soldiers; the independent companies, who were attired in tartan consisting mostly of black, green, and blue, were designated Am Freiceadan Dubh, or Black Watch, from the somber appearance of their dress. As the services of these companies were not required beyond their own territory, and as the intrants were not subjected to the humiliating provisions of the disarming act, no difficulty was found in forming them; and when completed, they presented the singular spectacle of a number of young men or respectable families serving as privates in the ranks. "Many of the men who composed these companies were of a higher station in society than that from which soldiers in general are raised; cadets of gentlemen's families, sons of gentlemen farmers, and tacksmen, either immediately or distantly descended from gentlemen's families, - men who felt themselves responsible for their conduct to high-minded and honorable families, as well as to a country for which they cherished a devoted affection. In addition to the advantages derived from their superior rank in life, they possessed, in an eminent degree, that of a commanding external deportment, special care being taken in selecting men of full height, well proportioned, and of handsome appearance. The duties assigned to these companies were to enforce the disarming act, to overawe the disaffected, and watch their motions, and to check depredations. For this purpose they were stationed in small detachments in different parts of the country, and generally throughout the district in which they were raised. Thus Fort Augustus and the neighboring parts of Inverness-shire were occupied by the Frasers under Lord Lovat; Ballindalloch and the Grants were stationed in Strathspey and Badenoch; the Munros under Culcairn, in Ross and Sutherland; Lochnell's and Carrick#s companies were stationed in Athole and Breadalbane, and Finab's in Lochaber, and the northern parts of Argyleshire among the disaffected Camerons and Stewarts of Appin. All Highlanders of whatever clan were admitted indiscriminately into these companies as soldiers; but the officers were taken, almost exclusively from the whig clans. The independent companies continued to exist as such until the year 1739, when government resolved to raise four additional companies, and to form the while into a regiment of the line. For this purpose, letters of service, dated 25th October 1739, were addressed to the Earl of Crawford and Lindsay, who was appointed to the command of the regiment about to be formed, which was to consist of 1000 men. Although the commissions were dated as above, the regiment was not embodied till the month of May 1740, when it assembled on a field between Taybridge and Aberfeldy, in Perthshire, under the number of the 43d regiment, afterwards changed to the 42d, but still bearing the name of the Black Watch. "The uniform was a scarlet jacket and waistcoat, with buff facings and white lace, - tartan plaid of twelve yards plaited round the middle of the body, the upper part being fixed on the left shoulder ready to be thrown loose, and wrapped over both shoulders and firelock in rainy weather. At night the plaid served the purpose of a blanket, and was sufficient covering for the Highlander. These were called belted plaids from being kept tight to the body by a belt, and were worn on guards, reviews, and on all occasions when the men were in full dress. On this belt hung the pistols and dirk when worn. In the barracks, and when not on duty, the little kilt or philibeg was worn, a blue bonnet with a border of white, red and green, arranged in small squares to resemble, as is said, the fess chque in the arms of the different branches of the Stewart family, and a tuft of feathers, or sometimes, from economy or necessity, a small piece of black bear-skin. The arms were a musket, a bayonet, and a large basket-hilted broadsword. These were furnished by government. Such of the men as chose to supply themselves with pistols and dirks were allowed to carry them, and some had targets after the fashion of their country. The sword-belt was of black leather, and the cartouch-box was carried in front, supported by a narrow belt round the middle".

Duncan would have seen action. "In early 1743 the Pragmatic Allies were at a loss how to use their army against the French. Finally, late in the campaigning season and at George II's insistence, the Pragmatic Army march south to Frankfurt am Main and occupied the area to the West of Mainz on the Main River. The King intended that the army's presence should influence the election of the new Archbishop of Mainz, an elector in the Holy Roman Empire and therefore of importance in the affairs of Hanover. The Pragmatic Army marched from Flanders during May 1743 and encamped at Aschaffenburg, around the village of Klein Ostheim. A large French Army under the Duc de Noailles occupied the South bank of the Main to the West. The generals were; the Earl of Stair, in nominal overall command, the Duke D'Ahrenburg and Marshall Neipperg commanding the Austrians and General Ilton commanding the Hanoverian contingent. On 19th June 1743 King George II, the King of England, joined the army, amid a flurry of celebrations and salutes. He brought with him a considerable retinue, conveyed by an enormous column of carriages and some 600 horses that paralysed the local roads for days, and his younger and favourite son, William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, a major general in the army. Over the next few days George attended church services and functions in Mainz in anticipation of the election of the new archbishop. The situation of the Pragmatic Army deteriorated dramatically when the French cut the route by the Rhine and Main Rivers by which the army received supplies from its Flanders base. There had been no proper supply of bread for a week, when finally on 27th June 1743 King George ordered the retreat to begin; West along the road to Hanau and Frankfurt and then North to Flanders. The road lay along the north bank of the Main River. Within 3 miles, King George II's army would pass through the village of Dettingen, where several marshy brooks flowed into the Main. As the Pragmatic Army marched towards Dettingen, advanced parties reported that the French occupied the village, blocking its path. During the night the French, commanded by the Duc de Grammont, had crossed the river, using bridges of boats across the Main, and held the village and the marshy ground between Dettingen and the hills in strength. The presence of the French took the Pragmatic Army entirely by surprise. How could such a large force have been in complete ignorance of the presence of the enemy on its own side of the river within 10 miles of its camp? Preparing to give battle, the British, Austrian and Hanoverian troops formed line; the Main River on the left and the wooded Spessart Hills on the right. The regiments took from 9am to midday to form up. This extraordinary length of time must have been due to the inexperience of the regiments and the difficulty of moving from a column of march into battle line. No doubt there was considerable anxiety at the predicament in which they found themselves. The Duc de Noailles' plan was, while the Duc de Grammont held the line of Dettingen and the streams preventing the Pragmatic allies from continuing their march, to hurry a section of his army along the south bank of the Main and cross at Aschaffenburg in their rear. They would be caught between the two forces and perhaps forced to surrender; King George becoming a French prisoner. The French batteries on the south bank began the battle, opening fire across the river as the marching French troops cleared their front. The bombardment was directed at the British cavalry moving along the North bank It is said that de Grammont's clear orders were to stay in Dettingen and force the Pragmatic Army to attack him. If this is so he disobeyed. As the British, Hanoverian and Austrian completed their line the French advanced out of Dettingen to the attack. There is little reliable information on the form of the battle or on the formation adopted by the Pragmatic troops. It would appear that British regiments were in the front line, but in what order is not clear. At an early stage French cavalry, the Maison du Roi, attacked the British cavalry by the river. The French were driven back, apparently with significant loss. As the British regiments formed to face the French in Dettingen they watched Noailles' troops on the far bank marching towards Aschaffenburg. After a hurried consultation the Pragmatic commanders dispatched the British and Hanoverian Foot Guards in haste back towards Aschaffenburg. The French assault had all the hallmarks of extreme confusion, possibly a spontaneous and undisciplined advance that De Grammont did not order. The cavalry charge was followed by a French infantry attack on the Pragmatic line of foot, the French appearing to come out of Dettingen pell mell and in some confusion. The French foot were repelled and, panic stricken, hurried back through Dettingen, recrossing the Main by the bridges of boats,. One of the bridges collapsed and many French troops are reputed to have been drowned. No attempt seems to have been made to follow up the repulse of De Grammont's force. In due course the march was resumed and the Pragmatic Army continued its way to Hanau, passing within a half mile or so of the confusion at the French bridges of boats. One of the principal French regiments of foot in the attack from Dettingen was the Garde Francaise. This regiment is reputed to have been particularly quick to recross the Main; many of its soldiers being thrown into the river by the bridge collapse; so that the regiment acquired the nickname of "Les Canards du Main". Hence the French word "canard" meaning an insult. In every battle there is a process of working out what happened and in many instances awkward features are glossed over or rewritten. Dettingen is a particularly difficult battle to fathom. The British Army had not been in a major continental war for 25 years. There were few officers or soldiers with significant fighting experience. Contemporary authorities show how amateurish were the training systems, such as they were, particularly for the mounted regiments. There are clear references in the authorities to British cavalry regiments (particularly the King's Horse and the Blues) bolting through the British infantry line during the battle, due to inadequate horsemanship. The lack of any pursuit may well be due to the confusion created by the French attack and the inadequate training of the time. It is hard to reconcile the low British casualties with the bombardment by 50 French guns across the river into the British flank, a couple of hundred metres away at most. It may be that the guns were masked for longer by the passing French troops than the descriptions of the battle indicate. Casualties: British: 15 officers killed, 250 soldiers killed, 327 horses killed. 38 officers wounded, 520 soldiers wounded, 155 horses wounded. Hanover: 177 killed, 376 wounded. Austria: 315 killed, 663 wounded. French casualties: 8,000 (not a reliable figure but the best available) Follow-up: Once the battle was over the Pragmatic Army continued its retreat to Hanau and in due course returned to its bases in Flanders. The British casualties were left on the battlefield for the French to look after if they felt inclined. Regimental anecdotes and traditions: At the beginning of the battle it seemed that the French threat was to Aschaffenburg. The Hanoverian General Ilton dispatched the Hanoverian and British Foot Guard to the rear of the army. To their indignation these regiments took no part ine battle, for which they blamed Ilton. There was no love lost between the British and the Hanoverians. General Ilton protested that his action in sending them to the rear had 'preserved' them. The officers of the Foot Guards labeled Ilton the "Confectioner". Cornet Richards of Ligonier's Horse (7th Dragoon Guards) rescued the regiment's standard. Dragoon Thomas Brown rescued the guidon of Bland's Dragoons (3rd Hussars) and was knighted by George II. Lieutenant Colonel Sir Andrew Agnew of Lochaw warned his Royal Scottish Fusiliers not to fire until they could "see the white's of their e'en." George II is said to have called the 31st Foot the "Buffs" during the battle. It was pointed out to him that they were not in fact the "Buffs", although they wore buff facings like the 3rd Foot, but were a newly raised regiment. The King is reted to have called out, "Well done the Young Buffs then." The Horse Guards are said to have played "Britons strike home" as they charged. The Duke of Cumberland was wounded by a bullet in the leg during the battle. He was troubled by this injury for the rest of his life. George II's horse bolted during the battle. He is said to have sheltered under an oak and to have presented an oak leaf to the soldiers who looked after him. The Cheshire Regiment claims this honour. However they were in garrison in Gibraltart the time. The King was not the only one who had trouble controlling his horse. The Blues and the King's Horse are reputed to have bolted through the Royal Scots Fusliiers. Among those who took part were: - George August Elliott, the defender of Gibraltar during the 7 year siege in the Bourbon War of 1777, becoming Lord Heathfield, - Lieutenant James Wolfe, appointed in 1759 Major General in Canada and capturer of Quebec - Lieutenant Jeffrey Amherst, appointed in 1759 to command in America and capture French Canada. Dettingen is of considerable importance in British history almost solely because of the presence of the Sovereign. Handel wrote a Te Deum and an anthem in celebration of the victory.

The prospect of a virtual union between France and Spain alarmed many European states. Louis further alienated William III by recognising James II's son as England's rightful king. England, Holland, the Empire and Prussia supported a rival claimant to the Spanish throne, Archduke Charles, the younger son of the Habsburg Emperor Leopold. In 1701 they and a number of smaller German states formed the Grand Alliance which was joined by Portugal in 1703. In September 1702 Bavaria allied itself with France and Spain. Malplaquet Following his reverses in 1708, Louis XIV sued for peace but the terms offered by the Allies were so harsh that he resolved to fight on. In 1709, Marlborough attacked again, capturing Tournai and besieging Mons. Marshal Villars moved to relieve the fortress and on 11 September the two armies met at Malplaquet. The French occupied a strong defensive position based upon two large woods supported by trenches and redoubts. Although the Allies eventually won the day they lost nearly 20,000 casualties to the French's 12,000. Mons was captured but the scale of the losses at Malplaquet led to criticism of Marlborough at home.

Although the French were forced to retreat, the Anglo-imperial army, attacking strongly fortified positions, suffered more than 20,000 casualties, twice the number of French casualties. The battle was a strategic victory for France as it prevented an allied advance to Paris.

William A McFarland, along with his wife Mary and daughter Polly Ann, were received into the Pleasent Hill Church membership 6 Sept. 1885 at the first of two meetings of the church held at Taylors Grove Church that month. In Oct. of 1885 the church granted letters of dismission to twenty three members, including the McFarlands "to be constituted with members from other churches into a church at Taylors Grove Church". As it was the practice at that time to aid in the establishment of new churches, the Pleasent Hill Church assisted in the organization of the Taylors Grove Church. In 1887, upon petition from Wm. McFarland and J.J. Harmon of Taylors Grove for a pastor, the services of Rev. Wesley Denney were granted to the new congregation by Pleasent Hill. Brother McFarland was one of the leaders of the area Baptist Churches called by Pleasent Hill in 1892 to serve on a committee to settle a dispute between two of its members. He served as clerk of the committee. In 1897 he moved to Paenell in Wayne County where he lived for ten years to the day. Moved from Fenteress Co. Tn. between Apr. 23, and June 7, 1876 to Wayne Co.
