| 1404 | 1 - This is suggested by some researchers as same person as Robert Lee McFarland (CC I104606) 2 - According to tradition the parents of James Macfarlane emigrated from Scotland to the north of Ireland, where they suffered, with other Protestants, in the siege of Londonderry in 1689. After their arrival in America, and within the last forty years, one of the family, on the female side, had in her possession a curious small glass cup, which was said to have been used in dealing out the scanty rations of food to the starving pat riots, during the siege, when rats, mice and horses' blood had a market value. [History of Clan MacFarlane by Mrs C. M.

Tyrone. And then some people have this same Robert as the father al so of James McFarland, born 1695 who came to America in 1723 and died in 1770 in Cumberland Co. PA. Both these lines are in the FTDNA Cadet lineage. Some people also have Robert's father as Patrick Mc Farlan, born 1630 in Buchanan, Stirlingshire.

| 1406 | 1 - Unfortunately to this point -I haven't found a definite link to my mother's family - I'll have to go to the Melbourne General Cemetery and have a good look at the McFarlane graves - to get at least the birth/death dates and correct Christian names of my Grandfather and his father etc & spouses. Unfortunately my mother and her brother are no longer with us, and we don't seem to have any decent records held by my cousins! Have you looked at my family tree on the My Heritage site? The link is: <http://www.myheritage.com/site-217002911/wendy-laing-family> The Berriman family seems to be everywhere too LOL! Funnily enough, my brother found out that the Berriman and McFarlane family tree both had Robertson in them - who a few generations back were brothers!!! Needless to say mum was not very impressed when he happily advised her that perhaps we were ' inbred' - that's boys for you! All I know about the McFarlane side of my maternal side is that they migrated to Australia from Cupar Fife, Scotland, where oddly enough my husband David Laing was brought up! We were told in our younger days that our McFarlane ancestors came from Arrochar - a place I've visited a few times - and recently, Dave & I took a 'toilet' stop at the Arrochar Hotel is fr eeing, snow & cold weather, back in March this year, when we had to go to Innellan, (next to Dunnoon) via the Rest and be thankful rout via Loch Lomond, as the car ferry was closed for 3 days due to bad weather! Dave's sister and husband live on the Clyde in Innellan, and w e have been there several times. I've managed to get some information on the internet, including photos of the graves at Arrochar cemetery, & of course your informative details about some of the occupants. I took photos back in 1970 on my first visit to Scotland with my parent s - but the slides have disappeared during several house moves. I will certainly keep you informed of any progress. I know it will take time, during any spare moments I get. I should be writing the first chapter of the third book in a series for my publisher at the moment, but the geneology seems to be takin g over!

| 1410 | 1 - Worth McFarland's parents were Malcolm Alexander McFarland (1858 - 1935) and Mary Elizabeth McLeod McFarland (1860 - 1921). Malcolm was reportedly from the Licking Creek area of Moore Co. (now Sanford area of Lee Co.) but moved to nearby Harnett Co. and settled on McLeod land Mary Liz's father gave them when they married (prob. in about 1884 or 1885). Malcom was nicknamed "Make" and was called "Grand Make" after he became a grandfather. He was a storekeeper but was partially paralyzed following an accident when he was aged 38. He did recover enough to walk with a cane later in life. The first child of Malcom and Mary Liz was Kate, Worth's oldest sister and my mother's mother. Worth had a sister, Maggie Belle, whom he was particularly close to. Maggie Belle stayed at home to look after her parents and never married. She helped raise my mother - who called her "Auntie" all her life. [E-mail from R. G. Ferguson rec. via Mary Helen Haines 13 May 2011] 2 - Malcom A.

[E-mail from Don Thomson rec: 12 Dec 2012] 2 - Adam Gordon Anderson emigrated from Scotland to southwestern Quebec in 1833 at the age of 15 with his parents and five of his siblings. He was the only one to cross over into the United States. From Huntingdon, Quebec he moved to Westville, Fr anklin County, New York, where the 1850 census lists him as "farmer". His second son, William Davie, was born at Malone, New York in December of 1850. His first wife, Mary Ann (MacFarlane) died in 1858. He married Nancy Ann (Smith) in 1860, and i s in Westville for the 1860 census. Sometime during the 1860's the family went west to Remington/Delphi, Indiana and on to Cook County, Illinois sometime before 1868 when Adam Gordon, Jr. was born there. Apparently the family returned to Remington , Indiana where their last two children were born. Flora was born and died there in infancy (1871-2) and Angus Smith was born there in 1873. They moved to the Scotch Ridge area (Carlisle), Warren County, Iowa about 1876. Nancy Ann died in 1884, an d was buried at Avon Cemetery southeast of Des Moines. In his later years Adam Gordon lived with his son, Adam Gordon, Jr. at Cumming, Iowa, where he died in 1894. Of Adam Gordon, Arthur G. Anderson in his account of the past, wrote: "Memory of my grandfather Anderson is almost totally lacking. He lived with Uncle Gordon. A large cane chair was his, and I seem to remember that at some time he occupied it, bu t my next vague memory in this respect is that it was empty, and we were there for his funeral. He had come into Iowa from Indiana, probably from near Remington, Indiana. It was said that he had heard of Scotch Ridge in Iowa, and assumed that it w as a Scotch community. He made the trek to it and found little more than an area, but settled there. At the time he came the country was open prairie....."

| 1416 | 10th Chief (1544-1547): Duncan, son of Andrew, joined with the Earls of Lennox and Glencairn in the Battle of Glasgowmuir (1544), in which they were defeated by the Regent Arran and the Catholic Party. He forfeited his lands, but was later granted a remission under the Privy Seal. Duncan was a staunch supporter of the Reformation, and was credited as (the first Protestant) "the first man of any importance in Scotland to make an open profession of the Christian religion." The chief of the clan for only three years, his term was marked by almost-warlike activity. Duncan died a soldier, along with a number of his clan in the Battle of Pinkie Cleugh (10 September 1547) against the English. He married, first, Isabel Stewart, daughter of Andrew, Lord Ochiltree, without issue. He married, secondly, Catherine Anne Colquhoun, fourth daughter of Sir John Colquhoun of Luss and Margaret Stewart. They had two sons: Andrew, his heir; and Duncan. Andrew was only about three years old when his father died and he assumed the role of chief.

|
| 1417 | 11th Chief (1547-1612): Andrew, son of Duncan, became chief at the age of three years, but the earliest record of his activities is in 1560, when at the age of sixteen he was witness to a procuratory. Andrew married Agnes, daughter of Sir Patrick Maxwell of Newark, and had five sons and two daughters: John, his heir, George, Humphrey, and Elizabeth. Another zealous promoter of the Reformation, and in retaliation for what was commonly believed to be Queen Mary’s collusion in the death of her husband, who was the son of the MacFarlanes’ superior, the Earl of Lennox, Andrew sided with the Regent against Queen Mary at the Battle of Langside on 13 May 1568. Andrew's assistance was crucial in the defeat of the Queen's forces. The Regent Moray awarded Andrew a new crest for his Arms (demi-savage bearing arrows) and motto: "This I'll Defend" for his service in that battle. Years later the now grown King James VI visited Andrew at his castle on Eilean-a-vow in Loch Lomond, which Andrew had built in 1577.

|
| 1418 | 12th Chief (1612-1645): John, son of Andrew, married four times. He married, first, Susanna, daughter of George Buchanan of that Ilk, without issue. Secondly, he married Lady Helen Stewart, daughter of Francis, Earl of Bothwell, with one son, Walter, his heir. Third, he married Elizabeth Campbell, a natural daughter of Archibald, 5th Earl of Argyll, by whom he had four sons: Duncan, who died unmarried; Andrew, of Drumfad; John, the progenitor of the Macfarlanes of Glenralloch; and George, progenitor of the Macfarlanes of Chachan. Fourth, he married Margaret, the daughter of James Murray of Strowan, with no issue. Although hot-tempered and fiery in his youth, John mellowed in his prime and even instituted an almshouse for the reception of poor passengers who might need shelter. He also endowed it with revenues to provide travelers with all necessities. John was said to have killed Sir Humphrey Colquhoun of Luss at Bannachra Castle in 1592 for having killed a MacFarlane cadet. Sir Humphrey’s brother John was eventually tried and be-headed for the killing of his brother under cover of the MacFarlane raid. Chief John's divorce of his wife Susanna in 1588 started a feud with the Clan Buchanan which by 1619 had escalated to the point that they were virtually at war. In this strife John was supported by John Darleith, Lindsay of Balliol, Bunten of Ardoch, Galloway in Kilmarnock, the Drummonds and surprisingly the Colquhouns.

|
| 1419 | 13th Chief (1645-1664): Walter, son of John, was a “Cavalier”, a loyal follower of King Charles I (1625-1649). He suffered much for this loyalty after this monarchy was replaced by the Commonwealth (1649-1660). During Cromwell's time he was twice besieged in his house and his castle at Inveruglas was later burned down by the English. He did survive to see the restoration of the king for whom he had sacrificed so much. Walter married Margaret, a daughter of Sir James Semple of Beltrees, Renfrewshire, one of the gentlemen of the bedchamber to James VI. They had two sons: John, his heir, and Andrew of Ardess, who succeeded John; and one daughter, Giles, who married Adam Colquhoun of Glens. Walter died in 1664, and was succeeded by John.

|
| 1420 | 14th Chief (1664-1679): John, son of Walter, married Grizel, daughter of Sir Colin Lamont of that Ilk, in 1645. By her he had three daughters: Jean, who married John Buchanan of Leny, in 1666; Giles, who married Alexander MacMillan of Dunmore in 1667; and Grizel, who married Archibald Buchanan of Torrie in 1673. After the death of Grizel in February 1650, John married Anne, a daughter of Campbell of Duntroon, relict of "The Captain of Carrick". By her he also had three daughters. As John had no sons, he was succeeded about 1679 by his brother Andrew. This is the first occasion where the succession of chiefs was other than from father to son over a period of 450 years. John signed the engagement for Arrochar to become a separate parish, with its own church and glebe.

| 1430 | 16th Chief (1705-1767): Walter, son of John, was chief from 1705 until his death in June 1767. He is celebrated as a most ingenious antiquary and by far the best genealogist of his time; his valuable collections serve as an enduring monument to his memory. Not only was he one of the most accurate antiquaries of his time, but he was very liberal in allowing access to his transcripts, which have been consulted and quoted by authors until this day. On meeting Dr. Boswell and Dr. Johnson during their trip through the Highlands, Walter stated his famous reproof. When introduced, the Doctor said, "How do you do, Mr. Macfarlane?" The chief drew himself up and replied with dignity that there were many MacFarlanes. "I, and I only," he said, "am Macfarlane." Walter declared his arms at the Court of the Lord Lyon on 2 March 1750, changing the destination from "heirs male" to "his heirs" (which includes heirs female). He married Lady Elizabeth Erskine, daughter of Alexander, 6th Earl of Kelly, but had no issue. He died in his townhouse in the Canongate, Edinburgh, on 5 June 1767, and was buried in the Greyfriar’s cemetery, Edinburgh. After his death, his valuable collections were purchased by the Faculty of Advocates, Edinburgh. His portrait hangs in the Museum of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, to whom it was gifted in 1786, by his nephew, Walter Macfarlane.

|
| 1438 | 17th Chief (1767-1791): Dr. William, son of John, brother of Walter, succeeded his brother as chief in 1767. William was a physician, and practiced in Edinburgh, so it is assumed that the clan was left pretty much to its own resources. The district, however, remained almost exclusively Macfarlane, for as late as 1804 the ledger of the Tarbet store carries scarcely any other name. William married Christian, daughter of James Dewar of Vogrie. They had five sons and three daughters who survived childhood: John, Walter, Robert, Thomas, William, Janet, Helen, and Rachel. During Dr. William's years as chief, the Revolutionary War broke out between Britain and the American colonies. Macfarlane was heavily taxed and fell deeply in debt. Having been reared in luxury, he lived a more princely lifestyle than the revenues of his estate could afford. He sold an estate in Jamaica (presumably the legacy from his brother Alexander) for £8,000, but could not satisfy his creditors, and on 7th July 1784, the Arrochar estates, which for 600 years had been in the possession of the Macfarlanes, were sold to strangers. The estate was purchased in 1784 by Ferguson of Wraith for £28,000, and then sold in 1821 to Sir James Colquhoun of Luss for £78,000. Dr. William died in 1791. His eldest son John died in 1782, so the arms and title of Arrochar were inherited by his grandson.
