| 156 | CAMPBELL CHRONICLES and FAMILY SKETCHES Embracing the History of CAMPBELL COUNTY, VIRGINIA 1782-1926 By R. H. EARLY With Illustrations J. P. BELL COMPANY LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA 1927 -Robert lived and died at Clover Green, his father's old home, and had a large family, though his will, written in 1827, mentions only his sons, Robert to whom he had lent money, and Ellis, who, with Robert, was appointed executor; and a daughter, Jane S. Rogers, to whom he had also advanced money. A $3O,OOO bond was required of the executors, for which Washington Hunter furnished security. 1815-Robert Hunter, Jr., patented land, 85 1/2 acres adjoining Jones, Glass, Tanner and Martin, on Reedy creek, and Stonewall road. Colonel Richard Lewis Hunter, youngest son of Robert, Sr., moved to Milledgeville, Ga., and his daughter, Molly, married Judge L. C. Hall of Dardanelles, Arkansas. In 1813 Robert Hunter patented 28 acres on the ridge between Wreck Island and Reedy creeks. Thomas Hunter, in 1795, married Jemmia Fields, and patented land, 14 3/4 acres, adjoining Jones and Wilson. John Hunter patented 11OO acres on Martin's creek and a branch of Falling river in 1815. Robert Hunter added to his Reedy creek land in 1844. -------- During the lifetime of Thomas Jefferson, as he would travel to his home in Poplar Forest he would stop at Robert Hunter's Tavern. The information comes from a journal, see link below. Description of Thomas Jefferson's journey to Poplar Forest retreat http://www.monticello.org/site/research-and-collections/route-to-poplar-forest Mile 66.59 "Hunter's breakfast 2.08." Robert Hunter's tavern was on what is now State Route 24 near Concord on the present Campbell-Appomattox county line. In the eyes of his granddaughters, even on the third day on the road, Jefferson was the ideal travelling companion: "His cheerful conversation, so agreeable and instructive, his singing as we journeyed along, made the time pass pleasantly, even travelling through the solitudes of Buckingham and Campbell counties over indifferent roads." The Tavern is approximately 15 miles east of Forest. And Forest is only about 7 miles east on Hwy 221 from where the McFarlands lived just east of the Otter River. | Hunter, Robert (I27557)

| 165 | CMW member #87 Archaeologist who unearthed history of early American wars dies Professor David Starbuck dies at 71 CHESTERTOWN – David Starbuck spent his life digging up the past. The archaeologist, professor and author of 22 books, Starbuck unearthed artifacts at forts and battlefields in New York and Shaker villages in New Hampshire. With just a mason's trowel and his bare hands, he discovered everything from bones to buttons that informed historians' understanding of early America. "You can build a whole world from fragments," he once told a reporter. Sadly, Starbuck's digging days ended on Sunday evening. The lifelong Chestertown resident died at age 71 after an 18-month battle with stage four pancreatic cancer. And for those who called him friend or worked by his side sifting through dirt on historic lands, Starbuck will be missed. "It's a tremendous loss," said Edward Carpenter, the president of the Rogers Island Heritage Development Alliance in Fort Edward where Starbuck frequently worked. "He was diagnosed more than a year ago, but he we so dedicated to his work, he didn't let it stop him. He was digging here from July to the second week in November. He was driven by his work." Carpenter said that Starbuck was excavating Rogers Island since the 1990s and that the majority of the items found in the former British military settlement, at one time the largest in the nation with 16,000 soldiers, were pulled from the ground by Starbuck. A gold braid for an officer's uniform, coins, musket balls, shards of pottery and animal bones informed historians of a soldier's life reflect Starbuck's efforts, Carpenter said, and make up the rotating collection on display at the island's visitor's center. George Wertime, who was close friends with Starbuck since they were in kindergarten in Chestertown, said that Starbuck was always devoted to his work – traveling three and a half hours between Plymouth State University in New Hampshire to teach every week to his family homestead in Chestertown for the weekend. After Starbuck's diagnosis, Wertime said Starbuck continued his routine, that included numerous digs, by waking up every morning with one word on his mind: "fight." "It was remarkable," Wertime said. "To keep fighting like that. He told me he would get up every morning and say 'fight, fight, fight' and then concentrate on the positive things. Even when he had neuropathy and had no feeling from his elbows to his hands and knees to his feet, he would still drive to Rogers Island. He had total and complete determination." Plymouth State University Professor Emeritus Katherine Donahue has known Starbuck since 1976 when both were at Boston University. She said his scholarship and achievements led the university to honor him as a professor emeritus after he retired last August. And while his retirement was a blow to the university, she said his death leaves a void in the lives of the students who were enrolled in his field schools — one at Plymouth State and another at SUNY Adirondack. "He worked incredibly hard and had loyal field workers," Donahue said. "They would age and still be working with him. They would show up everywhere. He was so special, such a bright person who was able to encourage students. He would tease them and they would like that. He was eager to pass on his love for archaeology." Starbuck, a graduate of the University of Rochester with a Ph.D from Yale University, was best known locally as a scholar on the French and Indian War and the American Revolution. As part of that, he regularly excavated the grounds of Fort William Henry in Lake George too. At one point, he explored its well where, legend had it, a British payroll box of 250 coins was tossed to hide from the enemy. Starbuck never found the box of coins but did find lead and glass and part of a swivel gun used by British troops to defend the fort during a 1757 siege. "For decades he conducted many archeological digs in and around the fort, finding artifacts related to the British, French and colonial forces that fought here," Melodie Viele, director of the fort, said. "He found tools and evidence of Native Americans living at this spot long before Europeans came to this place. Each piece was carefully collected and studied by Dr. Starbuck to expand or even shed new light on the knowledge we thought we knew of this area's vast history." Starbuck also led the exhumation of Jane McCrea's grave in Fort Edward. The 17-year-old's death, at the hands of British-allied Indians in 1777, allegedly outraged Americans soldiers and inspired them to the historic victory at the Battle of Saratoga. Wertime said that Starbuck was so devoted to his work that he never married. He also didn't have any close family. His parents died long ago and his brother drowned when a helicopter he was piloting crashed, landing upside down in a body of water. Wertime said it's unclear what will happen to the Chestertown family farm where Starbucks have lived since 1794.

| 168 | DNA kit: 230310 From Find-a-Grave site which published his obituary. Bartle Funeral Home:: Watson R McFarland passed from this life on January 14, 2015 at the Casey County Hospital at the age of 81. He was born April 26, 1933 in what was known as the Wess community of Casey County Kentucky. He was a son of Sam and Mary Benton Barlow McFarland. Know as "Speed" during his youth, Watson completed the 8th grade in the two-room McFarland Shchool in 1948. He enlisted in the U. S. Air Force with his two cousins Marshall Barlow and Ralph Dean in November 1951. Watson completed a G. E. D. and the Air Force became his caareer for the next 20 years. Through the years, national cemeteries were a vivid reminder of the sacrifice so many patriots had made before him and were much of the impetus for his reenlisting so many times. While he was stationed at Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter, South Carolina in 1961 Watson met Midge LaCrosse Smith who was orginally from Maine and in town to visit her childhood friend married to a fellow airman. Watson and Midge married on February 5, 1962 and had three daughters. He was deployed at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis in October of 1962, was evacuated with American forces from Tripoli when Khadafi overthrew King Idris I in 1969, and deployed again to Tuy Hua, South Vietnam 1969-1970. His tours of duty included Lakenheath Air Force Base in Suffolk, England; Edwards Air Force Base in California, two tours at Wheelus Air Force Base in Libya, North Africa; and England Air Force Base in Louisiana. Watson retired from military service in 1972 and brought his family home to Kentucky to help care for his widowed mother. He grew old among family and friends of his childhood. Retired from the service to his country, Watson worked at a variety of employments (Always where he could be building something) and devoted many years as a layman serving the Lord. As much as he enjoyed his family and the opportunities to be useful to folks in need, Watson found the most contentment in the solitude of his workshop building porch swings, furniture, and clocks from wood and lumber folks brought by. Watson was preceded in death by his parents, 14 siblings, Midge, his wife of 49 years. He is survived by three daughters: Tina McFarland Savelyev of Danville; Nicki McFarland Johnson (Mrs. Doug) of Liberty; and Rhonda McFarland Withers (Mrs. Edwin) of Russell Springs. He is also survived by five step-children: Skip Curtis (and Denise) of Ellsworth, Maine; Donnie (and Deanne) Smith of East Millinocket, Maine; Kathie Smith LaGrassie of Old Town, Maine; Sherry Smith Florence of Newburgh, Maine; and Randy smith of Mt. Chase, Maine. He leaves three grandchildren and two great-grandaughters who he loved deeply. He also leaves one brother Paul McFarland (and Alta) of Hustonville and one sister Ruth Wethington (Mrs Mitchell) of Indianapolis, Indiana. It was Watson's firm wish that there be no funeral service following his passing. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that expressions of sympathy take the form of extending a kindness to someone in need. His cremains will be inurned next to his wife's and among family at Peavey Cemetery in Casey Co. Kentucky.

| 169 | E-mail correspondence 2014 from descendant Dianne Gomez: "My FamilyTree Maker notes are as follows: Elizabeth Ann McFarland's family came to Cooper County, MO on a New Madrid earthquake claim about 1816. They lived in tents on the Edwin Carl farm and she told her granddaughter, Robna Rankin, that her family kept a fire going outside the tents and were never cold all that first winter. She was born in a log cabin on the Carl farm in 1824. ... The Carl farm was just down the road from our homestead which became Rankin's Mill on the Petite Saline creek outside of Boonville, MO. ...I don't know if I told you that my cousin, Dale Smith, now farms the old homestead and is the 5th generation to own the farm. It is a place of deep emotion and memory for all of my Smith/Rankin family. The "big" house was built in 1850 by William Rankin and Elizabeth McFarland Rankin and my aunt lives in it now. The family story is that they lived in a log cabin at the foot of the hill by the creek and William Rankin milled the boards to build the house at Rankin's Mill. They carried their infant son, Robert, up the hill through the wheat fields to the house and his gown (as babies wore in those days) dragged across the top of the wheat. I've heard that story all my life. " | McFarland, Elizabeth (I28956)

| 172 | Excerpt from Dallas Morning News: "Funeral services will be held at 2 pm Friday at the McFarland farm at Ladonia, Fannin County, for John Allen McFarland Jr. 32, Dallas attorney. He was found shot to death at this home at Lewisville, Denton County, Wednesday, the Associated Press reported. The father of McFarland found his son's body about 5 p.m. A note found near the body related that the younger McFarland was "tired of living." the AP said. McFarland was born inDallas and reared in Ladonia. He received a law degree from Southern Methodist University in 1950 and lettered there in both football and basketball. He also attended the University of texas. McFarland was a fromer assistant district attorney in Dallas...." Notes on John Allen from relations: Johnny was beloved by everyone. A star athelete, scholar, and sadly, also schizophrenic. His struggle with this disease led to his suicide, something the family would never discuss during that generation. Note from his cousin Gordon in 2008: John Alan had paranoid schizophrenia. He spent literally years in John Sealy Hospital in Galveston. That hospital was the largest and best psychiatric hospital in the state. Johnnie as we called him, was finally able to leave and return to live with Uncle Doc. He was fine for two or three years. Uncle Doc came home one evening to find Johnnie dead from a self inflicted shotgun blast to his head. Uncle Doc told me a few years later that Johnnie had left a long letter telling his dad how much he loved him. He said that the "Demons" were coming back and that he just could not bear going back to the hospital. It was about that time that a new drug, thorazine, would eventually empty the psychiatric hospitals of schizophrenics, Today, there is still no better drug. What a loss... | McFarland, John Allen Jr. (I31172)

| 177 | From "Mount Delight" , p. 81-82 JOHN McFarland, son of Robert and Jane McFar- land, was born at Mount Delight February 27th, 1782, and died December 18th, 1856. He married Eliza, daughter of Col. Robert Parker, an officer in the Revolutionary War, and Mary 82 (Smith) Parker, who was born - , 1790; died January 27, 1845. John McFarland was a farmer and a leading citizen of Peters Township. He was Captain of a Cavalry Company of the militia, of which a son and one or two sons-in-law were members. He lived on the farm, Mount Delight, of which he became the sole owner, after the death of his brother, Robert C, from 1823, until the spring of 1854, when he retired and moved into Mercersburg, where he lived until his death. He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church of Mercersburg and were buried in the old White Church or Church Hill graveyard.

| 178 | From "Mount Delight" by John M. McDowell (her son) 1910 p. 83 JANE COCHRAN McFARLAND, daughter of Captain John and Eliza McFarland, was born at Mount Delight, July 23, 1813, and died March 20, 1893. She married William H. McDowell (born Feb. 13, 1813; died March 23, 1900), a young farmer of Peters Township, at foot of Mount Parnell, where they lived until the spring of 1856, when owing to the poor health of Mr. McDowell, they moved to Chambersburg, where they spent the balance of their lives. When Chambersburg was burned by the rebels, under General McCausland, July 30th, 1864, they were burned out of house and home and all their effects. Mrs. McDowell was a bright, handsome woman, a great reader, more than ordinarily intelligent, a good conversational- ist and the light and cheer of her home. As another has well said : "She had long professed her faith in the Son of God and had walked worthy of her calling. Intelligent with an air of quiet dignity and reserve, with much force of character, true, gracious, rallying by her motherly ways those of her household; patient, submissive under many a heavy trial, she had lived long and followed her Lord long. She follows Him still." Mr. and Mrs. McDowell had nine children, four dying in early childhood, and a daughter. Miss Elizabeth P., in 1902. Four survive them, two. John M. and Annie C, living in Chambersburg, Pa. ; Thomas H., the oldest, in Dayton, Ohio, and Henry C, in Cambria, Weston County, Wyoming. They were both members of the Falling Spring Presbyterian Church. Chambersburg, Pa., for over forty years. | McFarland, Jane Cochran (I23353)

She married William Wilson, April 5th. 1815, and moved to College Hill, Ohio. They had six children, John, Jane Cochran (married to Amos Worth- ington). Prudence Ann, Mary Smith, William and Robert McFarland. | McFarland, Mary (Polly) (I27735)

| 180 | From "Mount Delight" p. 83-85 ROBERT PARKER McFARLAND, son of Capt. John and Eliza (Parker) McFarland, was born October 29, 1814, and died May 26, 1899. He received his education in the public schools and Washington College. Pa. Shortly after he 84 entered college, he took typhoid fever and had to return home. Had he received a collegiate education, he would have equaled if not excelled his distinguished brother, Thomas B. McFarland, at the bar, or in letters. After leaving college, he learned the carpenter trade, but did not follow it any time. He soon gave up working in wood and gave his attention to farming, which he followed until disabled by feeble health and old age. He spent the greater part of his life at Mount De- light, the farm of his father and of his father's father. He married Miss Ellen J. Robinson, a sister of Hon. David F. Robinson, a prominent member of the Franklin County Bar, and a member of the 34th Congress from the district of which this county was a part. Mr. McFarland, like his two pre- ceding ancestors, was a faithful and consistent member of the Presbyterian Church of Mercersburg, and that for over fifty years, and for many years a trustee thereof. He was a worthy and devout Christian and endeavored to bring up his children in the "nurture and admonition of the Lord." Well .does the writer remember, when a boy and a man grown up, when visiting Mount Delight, we would all, on Sabbath evenings, be called around the table and required to read verse about of a psalm or a chapter apiece from the Bible. This was a custom that it would be well were it more generally followed in this our day. He would often ask us the Shorter Catechism with- out a book. Mr. McFarland in early life was a Whig but since 1856, an ardent Republican, a great admirer of Horace Greeley, and a close reader of The New York Tribune, but independent and opposed to bossism, trickery and corruption in politics, as well as in business. He was frequently elected a school di- rector and filled the office conscientiously and with ability. He was urged, at different times, to run for the Legislature, but would never consent thereto. He was more than an ordinary farmer. He was a great reader and had his mind well stored with information on most subjects. He was a good conver- sationalist and ever ready to take part in discussions in re- ligion, literature, politics or any matter pertaining to reform 85 of the betterment of his fellowman, his county, State or Nation. He was a frequent contributor to the county papers, and a writer of force, who had the courage of his convictions. He was highly respected and greatly esteemed by all who knew him. If measured simply by the fortune he left behind him, he would not be a success in life. But he left that behind him, which is a far more important legacy to his children and posterity - a good name, a good example, a fine character, a life well spent. He was a rugged, honest, noble man. "The elements So mixed in him, that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, 'This was a man'." His remains and those of his wife, who preceded him, lie in Mercersburg cemetery.

| 183 | From Maggie Cox: She was very beautiful. And think of it- no makeup or hair spray. Do you know that she married another man before John? The first husband wouldn't agree to take my father and his siblings after their mother died, so Verne divorced him, moved back to Ladonia and married John McFarland. John (Grandaddy Mc) told me that he had loved Verne since they were little kids. From the newspaper: Mrs. J A McFarland Dies at Ladonia Mrs. J A McFarland, a former resident of Greenville, died suddenly at 8:30 o'clock Thursday night at her home in Ladonia. Mrs. McFarland was a resident of Greenville some six years. She left Greenville and about 1941 and moved to Dallas, then she and Mr. McFarland located in Ladonia. She was the former Verne Cox and was a native of Ladonia. No other details concerning her life were available due to the lateness of the hour when Greenville friends were notified. Survivors include her husband; one son, John a McFarland, Junior, who was a football star at Greenville high school in 1940; and two nephews and a niece and she reared, Dr. E.R. Cox and A.B. Cox of Dallas and Mrs. Elmo Westin of Marathon Texas Funeral arrangements are pending. | Cox, Laura Willie Verne (I30227)
