1801 Archie was the last Gaelic speaking member of his family. He was very interested in local and family history. Archibald Murray Macfarlane's obituary outlines his working life and touches briefly on his interests historical.

1 - Archibald Murray Macfarlane 11.10.1907 - 30.1.1986
At the end of the week there was the sudden death of Archie Macfarlane, Esher Crescent. He was 78.
A native of Callander, Mr Macfarlane belonged to a family with a slaters and plasterers business, whose origins have been dated back to the 17th. century.
For that time, it has been said, the business has been operated from Bridgend. After a schooling in Callander Public School, Archie Macfarlane became a tradesman in the business, but in the depression that followed the Wall Street Crash, gave up his
slatering and plastering for an early career in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.
He was wounded in France during World War 2 and retired from the army to take up employment with Glasgow Corporation Water Department at Loch Vennacher Sluices.
His service with the Corporation lasted 33 years and, when he retired, he was superintendent of aqueducts and lived in Blanefield.
The early years of his retirement were spent in Irvine, but a return to Callander soon followed. In Esher Crescent, he was able to continue a life time of study, not only of his own lifetime of Callander experience but also of details of general Callander history and folklore. His knowledge extended throughout the general Trossachs district.
The death of Archie Macfarlane leaves Callander the poorer of a native with a wealth of knowledge of his birthplace.
After a service in Callander Kirk on Monday of this week, the funeral was to Callander Cemetery. Archie Macfarlane is survived by a son and two daughters. His wife died in 1979.
Archibald Murray Macfarlane was born on the 11th of October, 1907 at 96 Main Street, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, the youngest of the nine children of Archibald Macfarlane and Isabella Rattray.

2 - Archie senior was a partner in the family business P. Macfarlane & Sons Slaterers & Plasterers which operated from a property called Loch Sloy at 14 Bridgend. The family also owned the adjoining property, number 16 Bridgend, known as Ivy Cottage.
During Archie's childhood his parents bought another property Pollochro at 25 Bridgend. Archie's mother, Isabella, in addition to looking after her large family,
took in guests to pay off the mortgage. Pollochro remained in the family until the 1960s when it was sold and renamed Kilmory.

1809 Around 1150 the men who became the Macfarlane clan were carrying the distinctive SNPs BY674 (plus 3 more, don't know what order). The other surnames, Black, Lennox are not carrying BY674, it is distinct to men carrying Macfarlane, or some variant. 2nd Earl of Lennox, Alwyn (I31610)
 
1810 Around 1500 a bunch of new SNPs start showing up in the descendants of the later chiefs. So far there are 9 downstream SNPs that could be from any of the sons of sons that descended from Duncan, the 5th chief. Macfarlane, John 11th Baron of Arrochar 8th Clan Chief (I31575)
 
1811 Arrival 1819 • New Brunswick British Colony Canada
Sailed from Londonderry, Ireland to St. John, NB. Settled with his father in Kingston Peninsula.

On the 1891 Canada Census, Frances (Nichols) McFarland is listed as a widow. 
McFarlane, William (I23740)
 
1812 Arrival in Boston: 1657 Webster, James (I814)
 
1813 Arrived from Ireland, probably prior to 1837. Settled first in New Jersey. Moved to Philadelphia area. Eventually moved to Michigan, where he died. McGaw, Andrew J. (I1094)
 
1814 Arrived in America prior to 1850. Came with brother William J. Bootmaker, Mechanic, Civil War veteran, Dry goods dealer, Baker, Market gardener. Received a pension (disabled?) Lived in Medway and Wrentham MA, eventually moved to Braintree.

Civil War Information obtained from http://www.pacivilwar.com/freepension.html on 30 May 2005: Private, Co B, 42 Mass Infantry. Enlisted from Braintree MA 12 Sep 1862, Discharged 24 Aug 1863 (11 mos, 9 days) with rupture. Listed as living in Holbrook MA.

Military Record: Alexander McGaw (claimed residence in Wrentham), worked as a Machinist. He enlisted in the Union Army on September 3, 1862 [age either 32 or 29] as a Private at alleged age 31 (cf the date he gave in 1870, 1880 and 1900 Census, which is 1833, not 1831). He served in B Company of the Massachusetts 42nd Infantry Regiment (sent to the New Orleans area). He mustered out at Readville, MA on 20 August 1863 discharged with a disability - "Rupture". Source: "Massachusetts Soldiers, Sailors and Marines in the Civil War" Published by Adjutant General 1931-37. He received an Army Pension on June 6 1890.

The Massachusetts 42nd Infantrey Regiment had the following Regimental History:
Battle at Galveston, Texas on 01 January 1863
Battle at Louisiana Fourche Crossing, Louisiana on 21 Jun 1863
Battle at Brashear City, Louisiana on 23 June 1863
Battle on 24 June 1863

In the 1860 Census, he stated he was a Bootmaker. In the 1880 Census he and his wife Sarah and children are shown in Braintree, MA. At that time he was a Dry Goods Dealer, claiming to have been born in Scotland (as were his parents). In the 1900 Census, he is shown as a Shoemaker living at 5 Washington Street in South Braintree, MA (now Route 37 - just south of South Street in Braintree) with his son, Austin L. McGaw (a Farm Laborer). Interestingly, Herbert L. Phillips and Family (Frank Z. Phillips' brother) also live at the same address. He states he was born in Feb 1833 (Note - in the 1860 Census he stated he was born in 1831) in Ireland, that both of his parents were born in Scotland, that he came to the US in 1852 and that he is a naturalized citizen. (See Mary Elizabeth Cummings for a view of the 1900 Census) Vital Records for the birth of his son, Adin Theo. (and other records), state he was born in Belfast, Ireland (as was [brother] William J. McGaw).

After the death of Mary Elizabeth Cummings in 1872, Alexander McGaw (then a Baker) married Sarah J. Freel (or Friel) (age 24 b. So. Braintree, daughter of Daniel and Sarah) in Boston in 1876. She died in 1887 (or 1898) in Braintree.

Alexander McGaw is listed in the 1888 Braintree, MA Directory as a "market gardener" living on Washington Street near the Holbrook town line, South Braintree, and in the 1892 Directory as a "farmer" at the same address.

In the 1900 Census, two of his sons (David and Lewis) both said that he was born in Scotland. Clara E. Phillips and William H. McGaw both said he was born in Massachusetts. But he, himself, states he was born in Ireland. 
McGaw, Alexander (I1048)
 
1815 Arrived in America with brother Alexander prior to 1850.
Married in Norfolk County MA to Susan Cummings. Possibly remarried later to Jane Ferguson (?). (Note: 1860 census lists a Jane Fallon or Ballon as a 20-year-old domestic in the McGaw house. She had a daughter Jane of 4 months age at the time. It is possible that the mother is the Jane in question. She was born in England.)
Apparently lived in both Medway and Wrentham MA
Listed as Farmer on 1860 Census
Settled in Wrentham (where he died?) 
McGaw, William J. (I1051)
