[M.I.- Kilmahog graveyard]

2 - Malcolm MACFARLANE , slater was born on 20 May 1796 at Callander. He married Catherine FERGUSON, daughter of Duncan FERGUSON and Margaret CAMERON, on 14 Dec 1827 at Callander. He died on 12 Dec 1866 at Callander aged 70.
(Andrews Ancestors Direct.rtf on file)

3 - Kilmahog - Stirling
A hamlet, situated on the River Leny a mile (1½ km) to the west of Callander at the junction of the Trossachs and Lochearnhead roads. It was the site of an early 19th century toll house and later a tweed mill.
Kilmahog, a village in Callander parish, Perthshire, on the northern head-stream of the river Teith, ¾ mile SE of the Pass of Leny and 1 W by N of Callander town. It once had a chapel, dedicated to St Chug; and it retains the chapel's cemetery.
St Chugs Chapel, after which Kilmahog is named is sited to the west of the Aberfoyle Rd at Kilmahog. This little burial ground surrounds the just visible foundations of the pre reformation chapel and is thus probably of great antiquity. Most of the legible stones are of the 19th century although some of the older stones, badly weathered, appear to date from the late 1600s.
Above the gate hangs a bell. The bell was brought from Lake of Mentieth where it was used at one time to call the ferryman when a visitor wanted to cross over to Inchmahome Priory on the island!

4 - "The first Macfarlane recorded in Callander, was factor ("Tackman" to the Duke of Perth). He stayed in what is now The Roman Camp Hotel. When Prince Charles Edward (The Young Pretender) was defeated in 1740, the Duke was banished to the West Indies and his estates forfeited to the Crown. The Macfarlan (sic) was ousted by the Crown commissioners as he was known to sympathise with the Jacobite cause.
Scotland at this time was in such a state, between Hanoverians, Jacobites, Episcopals and Presbyterians, plus the terrible cruelties of Bloody Cumberland, that there was little or no recorded births, deaths etc. The record was in the church records, i.e. the removal of the church from St Kessog's yard and the first church in the square in Callander, most of the tradesmen employed were Macfarlanes.
There is a gravestone in Kilmahog which has fallen on its face, erected to the memory of Challum Nam Schloter, in English "Malcolm the Slater". He would be a grandson of Macfarlane the Factor. I cannot mind the date on the stone and am trying to have it re-erected.
The stone has now fallen on it's face and as it is a considerable [time] since I saw it I cannot remember its exact date and name of his wife etc., but, as far as I remember, he married a Ferguson of Balquhidder or Balmlaig a crofting township on the south side of the Balvaig.
[ notes by family historian and Malcolm's great-grandson Archie Macfarlane ]
As this is obviously the Malcolm the slater who married the Ferguson of Balquhidder, (as can be seen from the gravestone there is no Gaelic on the inscription,).

3 - John McFarlane -born circa 1784/6 in Edinburgh, and died in Melbourne 1867) He appears to have been a sailor, confectioner and finally a weaver.

This couple are obviously using the Scottish naming pattern in which case John's parents would be John and Ann.

There is no birth in Leith at all for a John in 1783 and the one for 1782 gives parents as Duncan and Isabel Ross, names not used for any of the children so unlikely.

There are no births 1780-1785 for a John s/o John & Ann but extending the date criteria gives us a John b. 20 Nov 1771 Edinburgh s/o John and Ann Thomson.

McFarlane, Peter PeM01 (I19292)
 
1264 1 - A Scottish Boat Builder from Greenock, Scotland to Birkenhead. S.A.
Alexander McFarlane Junior was born in Greenock, Scotland on 19th April 1841 to Alexander McFarlane Snr and Ann (nee Duncan). He followed in his father's footsteps and became a shipwright and boat builder after serving his apprenticeship at the works of Simons, a well known dredge builders, at that time, in Glasgow. He left Scotland on 19th March 1866 for Australia on the "Egmont" as a Carpenter the destination was Mauritius, here he stayed for about two weeks and left there on the "Sarah" and was discharged at Port Adelaide on 1st October 1866.
He meet and married Mary Ann (neeTyzack); Mary had been born in Port Adelaide on 3rd July 1845 to William Tyzack and Mary Ann (nee Kayser). Alexander and Mary Ann were married on 10th June 1867 at Holy Trinity, Adelaide. They first settled in Quebec Street, Port Adelaide and moved to Benson Street, Semaphore and Elder Road, Birkenhead. They had 15 children only 9 survived to adulthood being 7 boys and 2 girls.
Not long after Alexander married he worked as a shipwright in several yards until he started a boat building business himself and as time went by his sons joined him. The business was known as A. McFarlane and Sons.
Not sure of which boat but one day a person who was to own one of the boats that was on the slip , walked in to the business and went up the ladder, then walked on the deck of one of these magnificent boats; Alexander McFarlane saw this and came down from the loft and told him to get off! How dare he climb on the yacht with shoes on! and that he really did not own the boat until it was on the water. So I imagine that he was proud of the boats he was building.
This business had several moves and is now in Jenkins Street, Birkenhead and is managed by his great grand son Andrew McFarlane. This is one of the businesses that will have to go with the new development of Port Adelaide.
Alexander is reputed to have built the "Port Adelaide" being the first eight oar rowing boat to be built in the State. Also they built many small and large boats one being the ketch the "Yalata" and did repair and maintenance work to many boats that serviced the local Ports.
In the 1890's he built with his sons several racing Yachts, there are three of interest; being the "Alexa", "Sayonara" and "Reverie" these were designed by a noted Scottish Yacht Designer William Fife lll of Fairlie, Scotland. William Fife lll (he was known as junior) designed and built yachts for Sir Thomas Lipton (Lipton Tea fame). Two being Shamrock l and Shamrock lll, with these yachts Sir Thomas Lipton competed in the America's Cup but both lost in 1899 and 1903. If any of William Fife's boats are discovered they are lovingly restored and brought back to their former glory and they bring high prices these days.

The "Alexa" length 46 feet, was built for Mr.Wyly, the "Alexa" was named after the builder Alexander McFarlane. Mr. Wyly had great success with her, she was sold on several times and had many owners and had a great history and did win the Plympton Cup (a race between Glenelg and Kangaroo Island) sadly was wrecked in a fierce storm off Glenelg were she was moored in the 1940's, a sad end to a "Gaff Cutter" There is a street down at North Haven named after the "Alexa".

The "Sayonara" length 57 feet was built for a Victorian Syndicate; the original sails were hand made on the Isle of Man England; they had great success with her and the "Sayonara Cup" is named after her and is held at the Royal Sydney Yacht Club (the race was held between Sydney and Melbourne boats). She was a pretty yacht similar to lines to the "Alexa" but much larger. "Sayonara" went to Sydney and during the war years; she was used as a pleasure yacht; taking sight seeing people around Sydney Harbour. In the 1970's a Mr. Handel bought her and was interested into restoring her he made contact with the family, they did not have the plans as they had been destroyed long ago. It turned out he was mainly interested in the rigging. The "Sayonara" was raced around the Whit Sunday Islands, Queensland and beat the "Gretel" which had sailed in the America's Cup for Australia in the 1960's.
When last heard of in the later part of 2007 she was for sale in New Zealand for $800,000

The "Reverie" length 33 feet 6 inches was built for Mr. W. Fisher and he had great success with her. She was moored off the coast at Largs opposite his home (which is now called Lady Gowrie Drive) and near what is now the Largs Sailing Club. When she was sold in 1940's there had been unwritten agreement that when she was no longer wanted and to be sold that she was to be offered back to the McFarlane Family.
A.J. (Jack) McFarlane and his life long friend Alan Cormack bought her and the sailed her with great success and won the Plympton Cup in 1946 Alan sold his share back to Jack as Alan had family commitments. In April 1947 whilst Jack was taking some friends on a week end fishing trip and was going along the Port River the Ketch "Annie Watt' ran into her and she sank to the bottom of the River. The next day Jack with his friend Mack Lawrie and the people from the Harbour's Board lifted her out of the water. She was slipped on Cruickshank's Corner (almost in front of the Birkenhead Tavern) and was repaired by Jack and his father "Tyz" McFarlane (who helped to build her in the 1898 in the family business), so the Reverie was back to her former glory. Jack continued to sail her until he died in 1951. The "Reverie" was sold on and had many owners some looked after her and some did not; a young chap bought her and whilst he was being restoring her at the North Arm she caught alight and was burnt out.
A very sad end to a pretty "Gaff Sloop" that sailed well for many years and bought much delight to many people.
What I can remember about the "Reverie" was that she was a beautiful yacht with varnished decking and polished timbers below and had bunks for five people to sleep, a Galley, a folding dining table everything was so compact and a place for everything and you had to put it away. I always loved going out in her and was so sad when we had to sell her all those years ago.

Alexander and his Sons continued to build boats and do repair work at the old Cruikshank Corner. Alexander passed away at his daughter's Mrs. Ann Ward of Ralston Street, Largs on 13th February 1917. He had stopped working at the Slip several years earlier due to poor health.
We can not name all the boats he built as there are no lists; all records were destroyed many years ago. His sons Bill, Tyz, Ern and Jack (John) continued to work together there until the partnership was dissolved 2nd July 1918. Then Bill, old Ern, Jack (John) continued the business other brothers helped at times, they built the "Queenscliff" Rescue boat in the 1920's until there was only two grandsons managing the business being young Ern and Neil (sons of old Ern) then young Ern's son Ian and Neil's son Andrew continued to keep the family name going. The business moved from Cruikshank corner in the 1930's due to the new bridge being the last boatbuilding business to move.
There is a Silver Snuff Box owned by Alexander McFarlane's Family (Possibly owned by Alexander McFarlane Snr)

2 - Alexander McFARLANE married Ann (nee Duncan) and had at least 4 sons Alexander (my great-great grandfather), Ian, Roderick and Neil.
He was born in Greenock 19 April 1841, died in Adelaide, Australia 11 February 1917. He immigrated to South Australia arriving aboard "Sarah" 1 October 1866.
My great-great-great grandfather Alexander was born somewhere around 1810-1820, however, I do not know in which order his sons were born so it could even be before that.
I have been told that the family was involved in ship building in Greenock but I have not been able to find any information confirming that. The Alexander McFARLANE that immigrated to Australia built racing yachts so the ship building link could definitely be something.

3 - I am a descendant of Alexander McFarlane born on 19th April 1841 Greenock, Renfrewshire, Scotland and over the last 20 years my 2nd cousin and I have been collecting information about this family. Our great grandfather was a shipwright and boat builder and the old family business is still (for the time being) working at Port Adelaide and just recently there was a yacht for sale in Wellington, New Zealand and was built here by Alexander and some of his sons in 1897. The going price was $800,000, must be absolutely gorgeous. I have just written an article about the William Fife designs that were built there in the 1890's and the Sayonara was one of his designs..
He married a Port Adelaide girl Mary Ann (Tyzack) in the 1860's and they had 15 children only 9 survived to adulthood one being my grand father Samuel Tyzack McFarlane.
There are about 200 descendants from this union.

1273 1 - Alexander McFarlane, who is engaged in farming on section 13, Scott Township, has been a resident of this county throughout the years of his manhood covering a period of more than a third of a century. He is of Scottish birth and a son of Dani el McFarlane, who will be well remembered by many of the citizens of this community.
Alexander was seven years of age when with his parents he crossed the ocean to Canada [1844], where he remained until eighteen years old, when he began life for himself. Leaving the paternal roof he went to Rock County, Wis., where for a time h e worked as a farm hand. It was there he met his wife whose maiden name was Miss Elizabeth Addie. The marriage was celebrated September 17, 1858, and for five years they continued to reside in Wisconsin, when in 1863 they determined to try thei r fortune in Iowa. In a log house upon eighty acres of land they here began life. Their pioneer home is still standing, one of the few landmarks of that early day yet remaining. Prosperity has blessed his industrious efforts and he is now the o wner of a fine farm of two hundred and forty acres, whose richly cultivated fields pay to him a golden tribute. He has a comfortable home and many improvements and is now ranked among the substantial citizens of Scott Township.
The union of Mr. and Mrs. McFarlane has been blessed with eight children and though some have left the paternal roof, all are living near home. Daniel, married Miss Amine Lambert, and is living in Scott Township; John married Amber Tromblee[?] an d makes his home in Strwberry Point; Margaret is the wife of Allen W. Miller, and they too reside in Scott Township; Parley, who married Leona McLean is living in Clayton County; Nancy, William, Bertha E. and Alice May are still under the paterna l roof.
Mr. McFarlane is independant in his political views, holding himself free to vote for whoever or whatever he wishes. He cast his first presidential ballot for Abraham Lincoln and was a Republican until 1876 when not wishing to support Hayes he vo ted with the Greenback Party. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenback_Party] Since that time he has generally affiliated with the Democratic party. For twenty-seven years he has been identified with the history of Fayette County and always wit h its best interests. He is an influential citizen and his pwer over others he uses for the benefit of any object or enterprise which will promote the general welfare.

1275 1 - Andrew 18th Chief 1676-1685
[Draft. History of the Clan Macfarlane Vol II by James Macfarlane
Chapter XXVI (26) House of Ardess]

2 - Andrew inherited from his brother John who had no male children.
He declared a new coat of arms with the demi-savage holding aloft a sword instead of a sheaf of arrows as on the original. This is the first occasion upon which the succession of Chiefs was other than from father to son over a period of four hundred & fifty years. Andrews first wife Elizabeth Buchanan was a cousin whose dowry was the farm of Ardess on Buchanan land.

3 - "ANDREW received the barony of Ardess on the east side of Loch Lomond some years before he succeeded his brother (the first time that the succession had not been from father to son) as eighteenth Dominus de Arrochar and fifthteenth Chief of Clan MacFarlane. Soon after his succession occured the battle of Bothwell Brig where the Covenanters were broken in the storming of the gate by James, first Duke of Monmouth (ANDREW's sixth cousin once removed) leading the charge of the Foot Guards supported by General Thomas Dalyell at the head of a detachment of Macfarlanes.
ANDREW's death in July 1709 mercifully spared him from the loss of three of his sons in battle just two months later; he was succeeded by his eldest surviving grandson."
from 'The barons of Arrochar and their cadets' a manuscript by Chevalier Terrance Gach MacFarlane, chapt. 1 - XVIII.

4 - The Battle of Bothwell Bridge, or Bothwell Brig, took place on 22 June 1679. It was fought between government troops and militant Presbyterian Covenanters, and signalled the end of their brief rebellion. The battle took place at the bridge over the River Clyde in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire near Bothwell in Lanarkshire, Scotland.
Following the Restoration of King Charles II, the Presbyterians in Scotland were increasingly persecuted for their beliefs, and a small armed rising had to be put down in 1666. Although some Presbyterian ministers were "Indulged" by the government from 1669, allowing them to retain their churches without having to accept Episcopacy, the more hard-line elements continued to hold illegal outdoor meetings, known as conventicles. These were often broken up by squads of government dragoons, including those led by John Graham of Claverhouse. On 1 June 1679, Claverhouse had encountered such a gathering near Loudoun Hill, but his troops were routed by armed Covenanters, and he was forced to flee to Glasgow. Following this initial success, remembered as the battle of Drumclog, the Covenanters spent the next few weeks building their strength, as did the government. Charles' son James, Duke of Monmouth was sent north to take command, and the militia were raised.
The Covenanters had established their camp on the south bank of the Clyde, north of Hamilton. The rebels numbered around 6000 men, but were poorly disciplined and deeply divided by religious disagreements. They had few competent commanders, being nominally led by Robert Hamilton of Preston, although his rigid stance against the Indulged ministers only encouraged division. The preacher Donald Cargill and William Cleland, the victor of Drumclog, were present, as were David Hackston of Rathillet and John Balfour of Kinloch, known as Burley, who were among the group who murdered Archbishop Sharp on 3 May. The government army numbered around 5000 regular troops and militia, and was commanded by Monmouth, supported by Claverhouse and the Earl of Linlithgow.
Battle centred around the narrow bridge across the Clyde, the passage of which Monmouth was required to force in order to come at the Covenanters. Hackston led the defence of the bridge, but his men lacked artillery and ammunition, and were forced to withdraw after around an hour. Once Monmouth's men were across the bridge, the Covenanters were quickly routed. Many fled into the parks of nearby Hamilton Palace, seat of Duchess Anne, who was sympathetic to the Presbyterian cause. Around 600 Covenanters were killed, while some 1200 were taken prisoner.
The prisoners were taken to Edinburgh and held on land beside Greyfriars Kirkyard, an area now known as the Covenanters' Prison. Many remained there for several months, until the last of them were transported to the colonies in November. All those who had taken part on the Covenanter side of the battle were declared rebels and traitors, and the repression during this period has become known as "the Killing Time" in Covenanter histories. A core of hard-line rebels remained in arms, and became known as the Cameronians after Richard Cameron their leader. Cameron was killed in a skirmish at Airds Moss the next year, but his followers were eventually pardoned on the accession of King William III in 1689.
The battle is a central event in Sir Walter Scott's 1816 novel, "Old Mortality". Scott fictionalises the battle and the events leading up to it, introducing real people who were not actually present, such as General Tam Dalyell, as well as his own fictional characters. However, his description of the flow of the battle is considered accurate.

3 - RIFLEMAN KENNETH MILLER BARTHOLOMEW.
(Killed in action, March 29, 1918.)
He is not dead, but only sleeping
On that far shore, where war's wild clangours cease—
Our friend, our brother of the gentle presence
Will wake again, where all is heavenly peace.
We walk with softer step the clouded pathway,
Which erst was cheered by his bright word and smile.
Yet have we mem'ries that upbear the burden
And rift the shadows of our "little while."

Whilst here, he loved the songs of Zion,
He'll wake to sing in Heaven's supernal choir,
And to our ears and souls, his voice, yet speaking,
Will find its chord in our fond hearts desire.
And thus we leave our soldier sleeping,
With war's wild tempest now forever o'er,
And wait the coming of the Morning Glory,
Where all is calm on that Elysian shore.

1280 1 - Became King Francis II
Francis II, King of France, was an idiot. Feeble-bodied he died at age 17, in December 1560, having never reached puberty. His attention span was short, his intellect ill-equipped for the weighty role of king. According to contemporary sources, the unlucky chap's testicles had not yet descended. He was narrow shouldered, and of stunted height, with reeking breath and unsightly red blotches on his face. One court regular described him as "pale and swollen, rather than fat" and "bilieux".

2 - In Apr 1558 she married Francois, then dauphin, the son of the French King. She secretly agreed to bequeath Scotland to France if she should die without a son. In Jul 1559 Francois succeeded his father and Mary became Queen of France as well as of Scotland. In addition, many Roman Catholics recognised Mary Stuart as Queen of England after Mary I died and the Protestant Elizabeth I succeeded her to the throne in Nov 1558.

1283 1 - Catherine Buie, the daughter of Donald Buie, was born on Jura ca. 1735. She married John McFarland and they lived in Cumberland County, North Carolina. After John McFarland's death, Catherine married John McNair (b. 1735, Kilkenny Parish Argyllshire, Scotland, d. 6-30-1819, Richmond Co., N.C.). In the Cumberland County court on April 28, 1775, John McNair was "appointed guardian of Daniel McFarland, Duncan McFarland, Dougald McFarland, John McFarland, and Margaret McFarland, children of John McFarland, deceased, he entering into bond with Hugh Brown, Archibald Buie, and Duncan Ray." Duncan McFarland lived in Richmond and Robeson Counties and was a member of Congress. He married Mary Porter.

2 - Tracing Our Roots to Scotland, Profiling the First Generations That Came to America in the 1700s.
Catherine Buie, a widow and a Highland Scot. The daughter of Donald Buie of Jura, Catherine married John McNair when she was 38 years old, in 1773.
Her first husband, a native of Scotland, was named John MacFarland, and they first settled in Cumberland County, NC. MacFarland had apparently bought some land in Scotland County, so John MacNair and Catherine Buie McFarland, when they married, moved from Cumberland County 30 miles south to what is now Scotland County.
Sadly, the marriage of John McNair and Catherine lasted only 14 years, as she died in 1787 at the age of 52. He lived another 32 years, not dying until June 30, 1819 at the age of 84.
Catherine Buie McNair and John McNair are buried in Old Laurel Hill MacFarland Cemetery in Scotland County, NC.
Catherine left the land her husband had given her to son from her first marriage, Duncan McFarland. He donated it for the creation of Laurel Hill Presbyterian Church. He stipulated that there not be a cemetery on church property, so the family cemetery sits in the midst of a cotton field that adjoins the church.

3 - It appears that he emigrated in 1831 according to the census of 1851 and that he was married before he came because his wife Eleanor came with him it seems. If that is true, then he could not have married in New Brunswick in 1829...or one of the records is wrong. All the children were born in Canada starting with daughter Mary in 1833. [Both previous daughters died young so were not included in 1851 census-Ed.]
In the 1861 census it states the family is Episcopalian. That means that back in Ireland, they could have been members of the Church of Ireland.
there is a tree on Ancestry for your Charles, however it says he was born in Drumore, County Fermanagh, not Tyrone. Drumore (Dromore) parish crosses into both counties I believe.

(Research):This e-mail from Scott Jude Macfarland, new CMW member #421, and DNA tester, kit #424770. I believe you have his genealogy form, but if not, I will forward it on also. It does look like his Charles might be the brother of Barb Duff's and Ken McFarlane's William.
http://www.clanmacfarlanegenealogy.info/genealogy/TNGWebsite/getperson.php?personID=I18985&tree=UL

Andrew, you don't have Barb and Ken's line linked to the above. Their William is the same as the William above. I have this verified by census records. I found William and Frances in the 1861 census with Barb's Charles and Ken's Richard. Living in Johnston, Queens NB.

Hopefully Scott's DNA results will confirm they are all part of this same lineage from James.

James, moved to Ohio and settled near Columbus, - a man of note, holding many public offices, and a member of the Legislature for one or more terms.

In the original family there were no daughters.

The children of John, the oldest son, who settled in Jackson, were eleven, five of whom died young.
The six remaining were Daniel, John, William, Alexander, Mrs. Wm. Robertson, and Mrs. Robert Richardson.

A son of Daniel is Prof. John A. McFarland, who is now, and has been for nineteen years, principal of Washington Academy,
Salem.

This last Daniel mentioned is my 3rd ggrandfather. He married Jane Shiland and had James Stanley MacFarland. James Stanley married Francis Almira Bent and had my great grandmother, Grace Margaret MacFarland. Grace married Jasper Whitlock Sheldon and had my grandfather, Dwight MacFarland Sheldon I. Then my Dad is the II and my brother is the III.

Also in the book is an account of John A. McFarland, who was the older brother of my 2nd ggfather James Stanley MacFarland.
JOHN A. McFARLAND.

The ancestry of the McFarland family ia traced to the Scottish High-
land clan Macfarlane, or Pharlan, the only one, with one exception,
whose descent is from the charters given the ancient Earls of Lennox,
from whom the clan sprang, and who held possession of their original
lands for over six hundred years. From the most reliable informa-
tion at hand, Aluin was the first Earl of Lennox, and died in the year
1225. The eighth Earl of Lennox died without male issue, and his
eldest daughter, having married the Duke of Murdook, held the pro-
prietorship. Upon her death (1395) three families claimed the earl-
dom, - the Macfarlanes claiming the earldom as heirs male. They
resisted all other clans, and in the struggle became scattered to
difl'erent parts of the kingdom. The timely support by the Darnley
family (some of whose members had married into the clan) restored
their ancient family estate, and upon the establishment of the Stuarts
as Earl of Lennox, the clans nnder their patronage became, in 14S8,
separate and independent. The principal of these was the Macfar-
lane. From the subject of this sketch the descent is traced back six
generations to Duncan, the father of .lames, the father of Malcom,
the father of Daniel, the father of .lohn, the father of Daniel, the
father of John A. At the time the ohm was separated the ancestors
settled in the lowlands of Scotland, at Thorn Hill, whence the great-
grandfather, Daniel, emigrated to America in the year 1785, with his
wife and one son, John, bom 1764, and are supposed to have settled,
upon first coming to this country, in the town of Salem. The great-
grandfather lived for many years in the town of Salem, and was
there in 1805, but subsequently moved to the town of Argyle, where
he died at an advanced age. The grandfather was a resident of the
old town of Cambridge in the earlier part of his life, and followed prin-
oipally-the occupation of a farmer; but during the latter part of his
life lived in the town of Jackson, where he died in the year 1847,
leaving six children, who reached advanced ages of over sixty years,
all dying between the years 1867 and 1869. Daniel, the eldest of
these children, and father of the subject of this sketch, was born in
the year 1793, in the town of Cambridge ; married Miss Jane Shiland,
of the same town, daughter of Deacon John Shiland, great-grandson
of John Shiland, who emigrated from Scotland prior to the French
war: was taken prisoner, with his family, by the Indians in Pennsyl-
vania, carried to Canada, where they were kept in continement for
some time ; they were finally released and settled there, but at the close
of the Revolutionary war returned to Cambridge, N. Y.

Daniel McFarland spent his life as a farmer mostly in the town of
Jackson : was a soldier in the war of 1812. He was closely allied to
the promotion of the best interests of society in his day ; was an
elder in the Scotch Presbyterian church at Coila, town of Cambridge,
for many years ; raised a family of five children, viz. : John A., Mar-
garet, William, Robert, and James, of whom Margaret died in the
year 1850, at the .age of twenty-four, and Robert died in the year
1854, at the same age. The father of these children was a man of
strong decision of character, inheriting from his Scotch ancestry that
firmness and resolution to do whatever he conceived to be right char-
acteristic of the people of the mother-land, and instructed and reared
his children to respect and honor all that makes true manhood and
secures happiness and longevity. He died at the age of seventy-six,
in the year 1869. The wife and mother still survives, and in the year
1878 is in her seventy-ninth year, retaining that vigor of both body
and mind uncommon to people of that advanced age.

John A. McFarland was the eldest son ; spent his minority on the
farm of his father, availing himself only of the advantages of the
district school ; but so improved these opportunities that he was able
at the age of eighteen to begin teaching, by which means he secured
a sufficient competence to prepare for college, which he did in Cam-
bridge Washington Academy, under Rev. E. H. Newton, D.D., enter-
ing in the advance course of third term sophomore of Union College,
graduating from that institution of learning in the year 1848.

During his college course his health had become considerably im-
paired, and be went to South Carolina, where he spent some time ;
but, regaining his health, engaged as a teacher at Parrotsvillc, Tenn.,
where he remained aijout one year. In the fall of 1849 he returned
north, and was married to Miss Amanda H., daughter of Ransom
Hawley and Margaret Tice, of Cambridge.

After his marriage he returned south, and was principal of Wythe-
viJle Academy for two years, ard from 1856 to 1859 had charge of
the Rural Seminary at Pembroke, N. Y. His health again failing,
ho returned to hi.-;" native county, but soon after took charge of
Washington Academy, at Salcm, Washington Co., N. Y., where he
has remained, and still remains (1878), with the exception of two
years, for nineteen successive years. Prof. McFarland, in recounting
his past history in connection with the last-named institution, is
enabled to see tho.se who have graduated under his instruction filling
important positions in the various professions, and ranking among
the first as attorneys, physicians, clergymen, and business men. His
natural ability as an instructor has given him rank nraong the most
successful teachers of the State, and secured for him a reputation
worthy the emulation of the young men of to-day, who, unassisted,
must meet the obstacles coincident with self-made men. He has one
son, Edwin Stanley McFarland, of Salem, N. Y.
I'd love to know if the account of the McFarland Clan in Scotland that is written in this book is accurate. I don't know who the author would have gotten the information from, since the book is written 100 years after Daniel arrived here in 1785.

Anyway, this is all we know and perhaps the book is in error and we have been barking up the wrong family tree! :)

1294 1 - Daniel. Jr., settled in Greenwich, and afterwards in Fishkill;
("History of Washington County" published in 1878)

2 - Assessors have been in our history of two kinds — Township and County. The county were appointed by the Commissioners until, in 1827, the people by law were required to elect such officer; and after 1841 the office for the county was abolished, and the old system of Township
Assessors was re-established.
In 1829, John Greer was elected, and, having resigned in October, 1830, Daniel McFarland was elected and continued until, in 1831, Henry B. Carter was chosen, and served two terms.

1295 1 - Daughter Nancy Ralstons obituary says William was born in Glasgow, Scotland, was a cousin of US President James Buchanan and died at 104 years of age.
1850 census says he was born in Ireland, his tombstone and an Ancestry.com tree show he was born in Scotland. The Ancestry.com tree show his birthplace as Camghouran beside Loch Rannoch, Perthshire. The same tree show his marriage to Nancy took pl ace when he was aged 19 at Loch Rannoch.
The 1850 US Federal census shows a land value of $1000 in Rural Valley, Armstrong Co., Pennsylvania.

2 - I found the 1850 census records for William and son John living in Cowanshannock, Armstrong Co. PA. In both the 1850 and 1860 census, William states that he was born in Ireland, not is Glasgow as the article above says. He also was probably no t 104 when he died. The 1850 census is probably the most correct date, abt. 1773. I find that the older people got, the worse their memories were for remembering how old they were.

2 - The Macfarlanes of Huntingdon, Province of Quebec
The record of this family is preserved in the form of a manuscript, prepared by Mr. Donald Macfarlane, who was born in Scotland, May, 1746, and died Nov. 8, 1835.
The claim of direct descent from MacFarlane of Gartartan, in Perthshire, Scotland, is fortified by the Bible records of the family, also from original "Burgess Tickets" of parchment, showing that for five generations preceding the abovementioned f amily, the heads of each generation mentioned as "son of, " were burgesses of the city of Glasgow.
The writing of Mr. Donald Macfarlane states that Walter, eldest son of Sir John Macfarlane, by his second wife, a daughter of Lord Herries, got from his father the estate of Dulator, near Port of Menteith. One of his sons lived at Halbertshire, ne ar Denny, Stirlingshire, and had a family. One of his sons went to Ballawell, near Buchlyvie; he had sons, Parlan and George.
Parlan had three sons, John, Alexander and Donald, and daughters, Mary and Janet. George had one daughter, who had a large family. He (George) died at the age of 105 years.
Donald Macfarlane, born May, 1746; died Nov. 1835; married Mary McNee, Dec. 13, 1782. She was born at Rednock, Scotland, May, 1765. They had fifteen children:
Donald, the father of these children, died at the age of 91 years, on the farm of Braecessinttilly, Scotland, which he had occupied for nearly fifty years. All of his fifteen children lived to be men and women, and often all dined together on fest al occasions.
[Mrs C. M. Little's History p221-2]

3 - MCNEE FAMILY TREE Owner: Holly Stevens suggests parents as Parlane McFarlane and Elizabeth McLeran who had a son Donald b. May 1744 Comrie, Perthshire.
Holly says "I did not find ANY Donald born anywhere to a Parlan between 1740 and 1755 other than the Donald born in 1751 Comrie Parish to Parlan McFarlane and Elizabeth McLeran".
