201	Mary Helen Haines notes: From George Cleek's Early Western Augusta Pioneers, from DallasPublicLibrary 929.20973 C6244C 1992 He is quoting Augusta Order Book X, p. 478, March 18, 1767 where there is a petition to build a road and the signers include Robert Bratton, William Givens, Duncan Mcfarling, Robert Mcfarling, Alex Mcfarling...at foot of Bull Pasture to Branch near Feemsters This tends to support the idea of a relationship between Duncan and Robert and Alexander. There are three documents for a Robert McFarland in Augusta County during the Revolutionary War period. They could be for this Robert McFarland, or they could be referring to the Robert Henry McFarland, born abt. 1740, supposed son of Alexander McFarland, son of Duncan. First: in 1775 Robert McFarland was paid for his service during the Dunmore Expedition time period. He was paid for 13 days as a scout, and also for 25 days hired...it seems to read something about horses. This is from p. 23 of Dunmore's Expedition: Payrolls and Public Service Claims 1775, pub. 1930, Library of Virginia. Also, on p. 105, Robert McFarland is paid for 112 days duty with Capt. John Lewis's company, on the same payroll as Alexander McFarland. A Robert McFarland also appears in Staunton court in October, 1776 where he is called as a witness against Alexander Miller, a Rev. who has refused to be disloyal to the King. Robert is also being paid for travel accompanying said Miller, and the distance he travels to Staunton indicates he is coming from Duncan's area, not Reed Creek area. Found this is Vol. 1 Abstracts from the Records of Augusta County, Virginia, by Lyman Chalkley, on-line: "To Robt. McFarland, summoned by the officer; to assist, for going 50 miles, at 4 pence per mile. To the witnesses for attending one day each, 25 pounds of tobacco, or two shillings and one penny, viz: William Ewing, Silas Hart, Mary Erwin, James Montgomery, William Givens, Robert McFarland, Thomas Smith, and James Hill. Notice William Givens in both articles. William Givens (Givins) owned the land adjacent (north) of Duncan's land. I feel confident that this event is attached to this Robert McFarland, not the Robert of Montgomery Co. VA, son of John McFarland (so-called Scotland John), nor the later Robert McFarland of Rockbridge Co. VA, who was still in PA at this time. I have seen this record mistakenly attributed to the Robert of Rockbridge in DAR records. I have not run across any land deeds for Robert. Did he live with Duncan? One source has his wife as Esther Houston, and his death as Jan. 20, 1775 in Fincastle. I have not been able to find a source for this death date. If this is true then some of the records above are probably referring to the younger Robert "Henry" Another record I found is the Muster Roll of Capt. Joseph Crockett's Co. of the 7th Regiment, made Nov. 1777, by Col. Alex McClennahan (from Augusta Co.) where Robert McFarlane enlisted for 3 years, and is on furlough in Nov. 1777. Some of the names include Richard Scaggs, Robert Sayers as 1st Lt. and Thomas Quirk as 2nd Lt. Don't know for sure who this is. Some sources believe that this Robert moved to Rockbridge County and is the Robert who died there in 1798. That has proved to be incorrect, verified by Y-DNA tests from each of these family's descendants. Older notes on Robert McFarland, Duncan's son?: QUESTIONABLE LINK: It is purely hypothetical that he is the son of Duncan. There appears to be some connection, and I am placing him as the son of Duncan. Since there is listed only daughters and no spouses for the daughters, I am here assuming that he died during mid life, rather than of old age. Assuming age of 40-50 years. SOURCE: FHC Ancestral File. Lists Robert (as born 1710) as a brother of Duncan (of Augusta County) and John (born ca 1720, died Wythe Co, VA). Robert, born 1710, Mary born 1700. Children: Mary born 1725, Hannah born 1727, and Jane born 1729. All listed as from Scotland. (mhh: This is obviously erroneous. This comes from the Cleek book it seems.) PLACE: Fincastle was discontinued as a county in 1777. Botetourt, Montgomery, and Washington were formed from it. TO-DO: Find source of this family. Perhaps a will in Washington County?	McFarland, Robert (I26796)
202	Mary Helen Haines notes: From p. 108 from Lola McFarland Hill's book: GORDON BURNETT MCFARLAND MD, was born 5 mi. N. of Ladonia, Feb. 21, 1893 to James F. and Mary Jane McFarland, the 9th child. He attended Woods Schoolhouse for two terms before moving into Ladonia with his family. He entered the fourth grade in the Ladonia Public School, "skipped" the fifth grade and graduated in a class of eight in 1909. He was still wearing short trousers as was the custom for boys, both young and older at that time. With his first suit of long pants he entered Texas Christian University at Waco Sept. 1909. He was in the dormitory the night the University burned. He went to Fort Worth with the school, where it was housed in downtown buildings. With the new campus far from completed he entered the Fort Worth TCU and roomed in Clark Hall. That first year on the hill was one of many substitutes for convenience. No electricity,and the street car stopped about six or seven blocks. It was a year well spent because it represented the genuine loyalty of the parents to the church school, and many lessons were learned outside the class room. Gordon developed a deep and abiding affection for the school that remained with him all his life. He graduated from TCU in 1913. The following year he entered the University of Texas Medical School at Galveston, and received his degree from there. He went to Columbia School of Medicine where he did graduate work. While in New York he belonged to the Park Avenue Christian Church and always admired the minister Dr. Finis Idleman. He served his internship at Belleview Hospital and entered the military service during World War I as a First Lieutenant, and went overseas with the American expeditionary Forces, at a Base Hospital #41 in France. He returned to New York in July 1919 and received his discharge there. After a brief stay at home he returned to New York and took his special training in Pediatrics. He returned to Texas, and began his practice with Dr. Leslie Moore, later moving to 3701 Fairmount where he established his own office. All of the tenure of his private practice his secretary and assistant was Miss Ruth Oliver, who was tireless in her efforts. He was a consultant at the U of T Southwestern Medical School, and a former staff member of the Baylor University Medical Sch. Dr. McFarland, a staff member of Hope Cottage, had a section of the Children's Medical Center named in his honor. A member of the Dallas County Medical Society and the American Academy of Pediatrics and served as counselor for the Texas Pediatric Society. He was a member of the Northway Christian Church. He was married in 1932 to Miss Mildred Street of Lubbock and they had three sons, Gordon Burnett McFarland Jr. MD, John Samuel McFarland, and Michael Alvin Street. He had two grandsons, the only ones to carry on the McFarland name, Gordon Burnett McFarland III (Corky) and Wright Ebaugh McFarland. {That is not true any more. MHH} He died of a heart attack at his home, Sunday evening, about 6:15, October 9, 1966. Services at the Northway Christian Church were attended by more than 700 of his loved ones. Rev. Pat Henry and Rev. Kenneth Hay officiated. He is buried at Restland Memorial Park." **** From Article in Dallas Morning News in 1918: "Lieutenant Gordon B. McFarland of Ladonia has just received a commission as First Lieutenant, Reserve Medical Corps, United States Army, being a member of the base hospital unit from the Universtity of Virginia, to sail at once for service overseas. Lieutenant McFarland was graduated from Texas Christian University in 1914 and from Columbia University, medical, last year. He has just completed a year's internship in two of the New York hospitals. He has been assigned to work in internal medicine with the new unit. Lieutenant McFarland is a son of the late J.F. McFarland and Mrs. Mary Jane McFarland of Ladonia and a younger brother of S.J. McFarland of Dallas." ****** Gordon Burnett McFarland Sr. and Jr. were both doctors. Gordon Sr. practiced medicine in Ladonia and in Dallas and there are many wonderful stories remembered about his bedside manner and his home visits--back in the day when that was standard practice. Here is an excerpt from a letter written by Gordon Jr. to his father which relates a very influential lesson he learned about medicine. "If I am ever a success in life measured by interpersonal relationships it will be because of the greatest single lesson I have ever learned. One night during the summer of 1955 you awakeded me about 2 am to drive you on a call. I was working at Methodist at the time and usually got up in the morning at 5:30 am. I was somewhat indignant when you commented that you didn't think that there was anything wrong but that you thought you might go and take a look. The drive was not far and as I sat in the car I became more and more disgusted that I had to go on an unnecessary house call when I had to be at work so early. When you returned to the car I asked you what was the matter with the child. You said that he was all right. He just had a little colic. I'm afraid that my reaction to this was unbecoming to a son. After I had run out of unkind things to say, you made a comment that I hear inside each time I see the family of a patient. This has truly been a "golden rule" to me throughout my brief medical life. You said, "The baby is not sick but the parents were. They were scared and needed help." I pray that I will never become so callous or so busy that I forget this." According to Lola McFarland Hill, Gordon was named for two people, Thomas Burnett and Gordon Boone. "We think he will grow up to do honor to your name and that of Gordon Boone who was Sam's friend at Austin College." Tom Burnett is referred to as "Uncle Tom," although he is not related by blood to this branch of the McFarlands, although he is related by marriage to James Franklin's brother, Newton Jackson. In the play written by Lola in 1966 to convey some family history she says about Tom as he enters the house: "It isn't every day the man who taught us both, baptized us both and married us to each other can be our guest." p. 85 from Lola's family history book. More on WW I: Once in Europe, he spent time primarily in St. Denis, France with Base Hospital #41, and Coblenz, Germany with the Occupation forces of the Third Army. Coblenz=After Mainz and Ludwigshafen am Rhein, it is the third largest city in Rhineland-Palatinate, with a population of c. 106,000 (2006). Koblenz lies in the Rhineland, 92 kilometers (57 mi) southeast of Cologne by rail, where the Rhine River and the Moselle come together. Gordon Burnett McFarland Sr. and Jr. were both doctors.

203	Mary Helen Haines notes: Hannah Whitt in the 1850 census is living with her father Richard, with daughter Virginia L. age 7. In the 1860 census, she is living with John b. Whitt and she is listed as Hannah Macfarlane, 38, born VA with daughter Virginia L. 17 KY, and is living near Rache Macfarlane (widow of William) and Hiram, and John. Her ex-husband Miles is not living with the rest of the family.	Whitt, Hannah (I27252)
204	Mary Helen Haines notes: I believe that her name is Isabella Henry, and she married a Boyd before she married Jesse McFarland. There is a Henry family that lived near the McFarlands in Buncombe/Haywood Co. There is also a Boyd family. I believe Isabella is the daughter of John Henry and wife Nancy Newman. The only information on the Boyd family is a Robert Boyd, born 1801 in Buncombe Co. that has a son named John Henry Boyd. William McFarland, Jesse's brother, sold his land on Jonathans Creek to John Henry. Haywood Co. Deed Records: Pages 91-92. Indenture, 5 Jan. 1809, between Felix WALKER of the Co. of Haywood and John HENRY of the same Co. in consideration of the sum of $200 hath conveyed unto the said John HENRY a tract in the said Co. on both sides of the Socah. Beginning at a maple tree at the N of a branch on the S side of Socah Creek thence S 20 E or near that direction a direct course toward the highest place on the top of a mountain oposite to the line of the Survey which this a part thence with said line N 65 W to a black oak with Chestnut and hickory pointers the beginning corner of said Survey thence from that course S 70 E 150 poles to a blackoak on his other line thence N a long a mountain 100 poles suposed to where John DOBSON's line intersect the said line & with John DOBSON's line...containing as is supposed 150 acres Granted to the said Felix WALKER by Patent bearing the date 5 Dec. 1804...it is provided that the line in this deed running N 70 E shall not extend further than the top of the mountain nor further than the upperline of a tract of land sold by the said Felix WALKER to Benjamin PARKS and John DOBSON. F. WALKER {Seal}. Witnesses: David McFARLAND and Eli Newman HENRY. Registered 16 Jul. 1810. The area where Jesse McFarland buys land is at Raven's Fork of the Oconaluftee River at Big Cove. There is a street in this area named Boyd. Isabella would have been born in York Co. SC, since that is where the Henrys were living before they moved to NC according to the notes below. However, there are multiple John Henrys in York Co. SC, still living there in 1810, 1820, 1830. Judging from Jesse and Isabella's naming patterns for their children, Isabella must be related to Eli Newman Henry who married Rebecca Cathey, daughter of George Cathey. Eli Newman Henry was born abt. 1792 and married Rebecca abt. 1818. Eli and Rebecca were in Cooper Co. MO. He died abt. 1823 and she remarried a James McCormick in 1825. Found these notes concerning Isabella's possible family roots: William Henry was born in 1715 in Ireland. He married Isabella Margaret McKeown. William came to America at about the age of 18 and settled in Virginia and was the immigrant-progenitor of the Henry family of Mt. Vernon, Arkansas. William and four of his sons took part in the Battle of King's Mountain, a famous battle occurring during the Revolutionary War. William and several members of his immediate family were buried in the Bethany Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church cemetery. His tombstone was engraved: "In Memory of William Henry, who died October 2, 1819, aged 104 years." William and Isabella had ten children: Mary (b. 1749), Alexander (b. 1751), William II (b. 1753), Malcom (b. 1755), John (b. 1758), Josiah (b. 1760), Isabella (b. 1762), Jane (b. 1767), Francis (b. 1768), and James (b. 1774). In the 1800 Buncombe Co. census is a Joseph S. Henry. In the 1800 Burke Co. NC census is John Henry. In the 1812 regiments for Haywood Co. is a Capt. Jacob Henry, in 16th Co. Also a Eli N. Henry. 1810 census in Haywood is a Evins Henry, John Henry, and Malcolm Henry. In Buncombe is a Joseph Henry, and another Joseph Henry, a Malcomb Henry and a William Henry. John Henry, is the son of William Henry above. He was born Apr. 15, 1758 in Anson NC, died Dec. 29, 1833 in Jonathans Creek Haywood Co. He married Nancy Newman. Put these names together with the names of descendants of Jesse McFarland and Isabella Henry and it forms a definite connection....the repetition of Henry and Newman. Below was information found at Find a Grave on John Henry: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=HENR&GSpartial=1&GSbyrel=all&GSst=29&GScntry=4&GSsr=681&GRid=34001724& Birth: Apr. 15, 1757 Maggie Valley Haywood County North Carolina, USA Death: Dec. 29, 1833 Maggie Valley Haywood County North Carolina, USA After John's parents, William and Isabel McCowen Henry, raised their family in Virginia, they settled in York County, SC. A hill there is called Henry's Knob. Tradition asserts that John's father was a brother of Patrick Henry, the famous statesman. John himself was born and reared in Virgina. He joined the War for Independence early on. He married Nancy Newman and had four sons: Lorenzo Newton, Malcolm, Meige Newman, and John William (or Wiley) Henry. Meige may have remained in Virgina, but Malcolm and Lorenzo followed their father to Haywood County after first moving to York County, SC, possibly with their grandparents and other family members. They are buried near their father and mother. John moved to Georgia and is buried in Fannin County. John and Nancy Newman Henry also had six daughters: Mary, Isabella, Arabella, Elizabeth Ann, Rose, and Martha Jane (called Jane) Henry. Because of his military service, John received a land grant around 1796 which is recorded in the Burke County, NC Register of Deeds office. A pioneer, he moved to the area that later became Haywood County, NC and first settled near the present town of Waynesville on the east fork of Raccoon and Richland Creeks. He began acquiring a great deal of property, particularly in the Upper Jonathan area, now known as Maggie Valley. He and Nancy eventually settled in Evans Cove of Maggie, not far from Jonathan Creek, on the left side of the current road. They, along with other family members, are buried in a field behind their homesite. Sadly, the gravestones have fallen and the cemetery has been plowed over and crops raised on it for several years. Fortunately, on May 3, 1936, a new marker was unveiled to mark Captain Henry's grave. The honor was conferred by the Daughters of the American Revolution. He was cited for the important part he played in winning the Battle of King's Mountain, the Battle at Cowpens, SC, and others events. He was also honored for his valuable service in protecting the more thickly populated communities of the eastern sections of both North and South Carolina from the attack of the Creek and Cherokee Indians. Captain Henry's service is additionally commemorated on a plaque on the lawn of the Haywood County Courthouse which honors Revolutionary War soldiers. A photo to the right shows that plaque.

205	Mary Helen Haines notes: I have merged the line of Joseph McFarland of Bucks Co. PA to the Joseph McFarland mentioned as a son of Robert McFarland in Robert's will and probate documents. The coincidences are too striking to ignore any longer, and the paper of Mr. McDowell, a descendant of Joseph, who discusses the three brothers, along with DNA evidence, has led me to this conclusion while working with descendants of this line, as well as McFarland researcher Gary Morris. There are still some unanswered questions about Joseph McFarland, such as this below: In the Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish by Chalkey, in the Augusta Co. Order Book II, page 433, says that the court in 1749 examined Joseph McFarland who was accused of "borrowing a saddle" and he was answering for that. It says that he was "late of Lunenberg County." This must be a completely different person. Information below is for Joseph of Bucks Co. He appears on a tax list in 1738 in Tinicum township. This information is secondary, coming from The History of Bucks County, by J. H. Battle in 1887. The McFarland mentioned is not fully identified. CHAPTER XXI TINICUM - NOCKAMIXON. THE triangular area partially included between Haycock and Tohickon creeks and the Delaware river comprises the only townships of the county of which the names are of Indian origin. The creeks mentioned separate them from Haycock, Bedminster, and Plumstead. Tinicum creek and its numerous branches drain the larger part of both townships, the course of the main stream being nearly parallel with that of the Tohickon until, at a distance of about five miles from its mouth, the direction changes to the east at a sharp angle and the river is reached at a point midway between the Nockamixon and Plumstead lines. It receives the waters of Nockamixon creek within the boundaries of that township, and of numerous smaller tributaries at intervals in its progress. Gallow's run, mentioned in early records as Galloway's run, is a small stream which reaches the Delaware near the Durham line. The little Tinicum and Mill creeks drain the interior of Tinicum. All these streams unite with the Delaware through deep and narrow valleys. A ridge of hills parallel with its course begins above the mouth of the Tohickon, and assumes greater regularity of contour and elevation within several miles of Kintnersville, where the cliffs are known as the Narrows. These rock walls rise abruptly to the height of several hundred feet almost from the water's edge, confining the river to a narrow channel with scarcely sufficient space at their base for the canal and roadway. Few localities in Bucks county present greater attractions to the naturalist or tourist. TINICUM was originally settled by the same nationality as Deep Run in Bedminster- the Scotch-Irish- a people who have virtually disappeared, leaving few memorials of their history. The families of Hughes, Lear, Haverford, Ross, Williamson, Campbell, Stewart, Shaw, and McFarland were represented in 1738. Joseph McFarland is listed as a witness to someone else's deed in 1746, and the land is described as being on the Delaware River and Tohickon Creek. Joseph McFarland also applied for land in 1746. There are three Warrantees of Land in Bucks Co. that seem to be a part of this family. The first one in 1746, is in Patent Book A 14, p. 313 on the waters of Tohickon for 215.114 acres June 10, 1746 is the warrant, and it looks like the Patent was issued, or the survey made on Nov. 10, 1746 for 218.114 acres. Need to go to the source to see what happened to this land. Joseph McFarlan was not present on the day his siblings signed the agreement to give deceased father Robert's 248 acre land patent in Lancaster Co. to his son James. However Joseph did sign the document on Dec. 9, 1751. Assuming he was paid a sum of money by James, he would now have money to pay for the warrant and patent of land in Bucks County, which it seems he did three days later. From the index of warrants and patents that is available from the State Penn. Archives on-line, p. 199: Joseph McFarlin files a warrant for 150 acres of land on Dec. 12, 1751, and acquires the land in a patent on January 30, 1752. (Book A, No. 17, p. 64-67) LDS Film: 1028833 A journey from Mt. Joy to Philadelphia is abt. 60 miles. A typical day's journey in 1750 is 18 miles per day. Ottsville (area in Bucks Co. today near where Joseph's patent was located) to Mt. Joy is 72 miles. Transcription of Joseph McFarlin's 1752 patent in Bucks Co.

The Stewart burying-ground, known locally as Bunker Hill Cemetery, and near which he believes to have been the site of the first Tinicum Presbyterian Church, (of which the church at Red Hill is the successor,) is located in Tinicum township 2 1/2 miles, in a direct line northeast from Ottsville, and one mile, in a direct line, southeast from Revere. Papers Read before the bucks County Historical Society,IV, page 117 . Below is an excerpt from a paper presented to the Franklin County Historical Society, called the Kittochtinny Historical Society. The paper is called Mount Delight, by John M. McDowell and gives the history of McFarland's Delight and the McFarland family that lived there. McDowell is a descendant of Joseph's son Robert, through Robert's son John. He recounts how the eldest Robert, Joseph, and John were immigrant brothers from Ireland and that John moved to Virginia, Robert patented McFarland's Delight, and then sold it in 1778 to Robert, son of Joseph. This author was still living in Franklin County in 1910 when this was written and his McFarland cousins were still living on the family patent. I believe that he was unaware that their family had arrived even earlier than 1732 and that they came with a father named Robert. From "Mount Delight" p. 77 The emigrant ancestor of the branch of the family, which has occupied McFarland's Delight since 1778, was Joseph Mc- Farland, who with his two brothers, John and Robert, came over from Ireland about 1732 and settled in Tinnicum Town- ship, Bucks County, Pa. His brother John later moved to Virginia and of him we know little. From "Mount Delight" p. 78 Joseph McFarland, the third brother and the ancestor of the branch of McFarlands of whom this paper treats, as before stated, came over from Ireland in 1732 and settled in Tinnicum Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where he lived until his death. He was a farmer by occupation, a Presbyterian in religion and therefore not a tory. By his will, probated on the 12th day of December, 1759, and recorded in Will Book B at page 370, Bucks County, Pa., we learn that his wife's name was Jean. Joseph and Jean left surviving them three sons : Robert, Joseph and John, and two daughters, Rachel and Jean. Of these children we have record only of Robert. Joseph died between November 4th, the date of the will, and December I2th, the date of the probate of his will. He and his wife Jean were interred in the old graveyard near Krauss Hill, Tinnicum Township, Bucks County, Pa. What appears to be Joseph's oldest son, Robert, warrants land next to his, 20 acres as of June 17, 1752. However, Joseph's son Robert was born in 1740 and only 12 years old. Could this be another Robert? Here are the McFarlands in the tax lists for Bucks Co. in the area around Tinnicum township: For a Robert Mcfarling, Macfarland, McFarling, McFarlon, in Plumstead twn. present in 1759, 61, 62, 63, 64, and then in 1764 also in Plumstead is James McFarling. Plumstead is adjacent to Tinicum, Who is this Robert? Is this the son of Joseph, living on land that was the first warrant? And then who is James, his brother? In Plumstead, which adjoins Tinicum, there is a family of Robert McFarland. Not sure if this is the same Robert McFarlin who marries Elizabeth Simbel in 1761 in the Tohickon Union Reformed Church, however a Robert McFarland of Plumstead dies in 1769, leaving a widow Elizabeth, son named Andrew (Bucks Co. Orphans court Records, 1685-1852 by Thomas Myers, p. 64. R 929.37482 M996B 1999 at Dallas County Library) In 1765, in the Bucks County records, there is a widow of James, named Ann, selling a mortgage for property in Plumstead township. Book 11, p. 370. Then the sherriff undertakes finishing the sale in Book 13, p. 17 in 1768. In 1766, a James McFarland of Plumstead sold his land to Joseph Cauffman by deed to settle a suit with him. Info came from "Bucks County Sherriffs Deeds, 1749-1776 by Terry A McNealy, 829.37483 M 169B 1989. However, Joseph does not list a son named James in his will of 1759, so I don't believe James should be included as a son. In 1775 when the orders for formation of militias in Pennsylvania were issued, in the township of Tinicum were listed in the 2nd Battalion under Capt. Nicholas Patterson, were Robert McFarling, a John McGlahland (is this a misreading of the handwriting?) and Joseph McFarland.(Penn.Archive, 2nd Series, Vol. 14, p. 168. This same information is repeated in Series 5, Vol 5, p. 395) These would be the children of Joseph it would seem. In the 1775 tax list in Tinicum there is a Robert McFarling, owning 4 horses, 7 cattle, 12 sheep, 250 acres, rent worth 17 pounds. This must be Robert, son of Joseph. In Plumstead in 1775 is Alexander McFarling with no land or possessions. Alexander stays in the area and is present after the Revolution and in the first censuses. Do not know who he is related to. After 1775 there are no more references to Robert, John, or Joseph in Tinicum township. The do not appear in tax lists or militia records. I believe because they all moved to Cumberland County, PA. Have not found the sale of land records yet. According to "Mount Delight" paper the Robert who buys the land McFarlan's Delight in Cumberland county is the nephew of Robert in Peter's township in 1778. This Robert moves there. (p. 77-79) Where does Joseph Sr.'son named Joseph go to? There is a Joseph McFarland on the tax list for the first time in 1773 in Lack township, Cumberland Co. PA. Lack township encompassed the area that is around the Juniata River Valley near present day Huntingdon. Who this Joseph McFarland is, I am not sure. However, there is also a Joseph McFarlan who christens his son Robert Mc Farlan on July 11, 1773 at the Upper West Conochcheague Presbyterian Church in what is today Mercersburg (Peters township), Franklin Co. PA. Other McFarlands in Bucks Co.: In New Britian town. is a farmer James McFarland, who writes a will Dec. 26, 1757, proved Feb. 24, 1758, with sons Arthur and Robert Scott as executors, and daughters Mary, Elinor, and Margaret. The witnesses are Walter McFarland, Jane McFarland, and Mary Scott., (Bucks Co. No. 2, p. 329, found in Bucks Co.

In Bucks County Tax Records, 1693-1778 by Terry A. McNealy, is listed Alexander, Andrew, James, John, and Robert. All the Roberts, except one refer to Robert of Plumstead, 1759, 61, 62, 63, 64. In 1764 also in Plumstead is a James McFarling also. In 1766 James McFarland in Plumstead sold to Joseph Cauffman by deed 48 acres of land to settle a suit brought by Cauffman. This came from Deed Book 13, p. 17 (Bucks County Sherriffs Deeds 1749-1776 by Terry A. McNealy). Next set of information came from Gary Morris' tree.

McFarland, descent from Robert McFarland of Lancaster County: The Joseph of Bucks County was not the son of Robert. This Joseph was the son of Thomas, and first on tax list in 1738 in Tinicum township. The Roberts of Cumberland County, PA are the children and grandchildren of Joseph. CONFLICT: Joseph did have a son Robert, but he did not move to Cumberland County until after Rev. War. Was the mentioned father Thomas, the same one who lived in Philadelphia County, and had son Joseph in 1734? This would be too late. [Mcfarlan.ged]	McFarland, Joseph RoM02 (I26871)
206	Mary Helen Haines notes: In 1775 Pennsylvania was ordered to form local militias in each township. For the County of Bucks, Tinicum Co. Robert McFarling (p. 395), and Joseph McFarland (p. 396) were listed. Pennsylvania Archives, Series 5, Vol. 5. By 1778, Robert had moved to Peters township, Cumberland Co. PA. He brought with him a letter of recommendation to the Presbyterian Church in Mercersburg which stated he was of "unblemished Character, free from Scandal or Church Censure"... What follows is part of the article "Mount Delight", 1910, by John M. McDowell, p. 78-81 Robert McFarland, Jr., son of Joseph and Jean McFar- land, was born in Tinnicum Township, Bucks County, Pa., January 12th, 1740, and died at Mount Delight, June 22nd, 1823. He married Jane Cochran, a daughter of Stephen and Jane Cochran, of Faggs Manor, Chester County, in 1770. Jane Cochran was born February l0th, 1743, and died April 2nd, 1827. The bodies of both Robert and Jane were buried in the old White Church graveyard, in Peters Township, Franklin County, Pa., about two miles east of Mount Delight. Robert McFarland, Jr., removed with his wife and four children, from Bucks County, to this county, then part of Cumberland, in the spring of 1778. He had purchased of his uncle, Robert McFarland, Sr., brother of John and Joseph, 'McFarland's Delight," as we learn from a deed dated Sep- 79 tember 1st, 1777, and recorded in Deed Book E, Vol. I., page 168, of the Recorder's Office of Cumberland County, Pa. By this deed "Robert McFarland, Sr., of Peters Township, in Cumberland County, Province and Commonwealth of Penn- sylvania, and Esther, his wife, of one part," conveyed to Robert McFarland, Jr., of Tinnicum Township, County of Bucks, in said province of Pennsylvania, of the second part, for a consideration of fourteen hundred pounds, the tract of land mentioned and described in the patent dated 4th Decem- ber, 1769. For his patent in 1769 Robert, Sr., paid 38 pounds 9 shillings. Eight years later he sold the same tract to his nephew for 1400 pounds, an advance of near $7,000. Robert, Sr., had. however, cleared and improved the land, erected buildings, etc. Whilst in Bucks County, Robert McFarland, Jr., took the oath of allegiance to the State and received a certificate, of which the following is a true copy : "I do hereby certify that Robert McFarland, of Bucks County, hath voluntarily taken and subscribed the Oath of Allegiance and Fidelity, as directed by an Act of General Assembly of Penn- sylvania, passed the 13th day of June, A. D., 1777. Witness my hand and seal, the 28th day of August, A. D., 1777. L. S. THOMAS DYER." Robert, as well as his father, Joseph, was a member, in good standing, of the Presbyterian Church. He and his wife brought with them from Bucks County, in 1778, a certificate of good character and membership, of which the following is a copy : "That Robert McFarland and Jane, his wife, were born oi christian Parents of the Presbyterian Denomination. Mr. Mc- Farland has lived, in this Congregation since his Infantcy & hath conducted himself in a sober, decent & Regular manner at all Times since capable of understanding, as becomes his Christian Profession, made in his Baptismal Covenant ; and Mrs. McFarland has been received into this congregation by virtue of a certificate produced, a copy of which is given ; and 80 both are of an unblemished Character, free from Scandal or Church Censure known to us. And now being about to re- move from us, are committed to God's holy Protection & recommended to the Care & Notice of any Christian Congre- gation where divine Providence may order their Lot, as worthy Members of Society both civil & religious.

M. In 1779 Robert McFarland was elected and ordained an Elder of the Presbyterian Church of Mercersburg, and served as Elder until his death. Robert and Jane McFarland had eight children, named and born as follows : Joseph McFarland - born Feb 22, 1771, died Nov. 20, 1782. Stephen McFarland - born Aug. 15, 1773, died Nov. 1832. Prudence McFarland - born April 17, 1775, died Dec. 2, 1804. Robert C. McFarland - born Dec. 19, 1776, died June 15, 1850 Anna McFarland - born April 8, 1779, died April 26, 1816. John McFarland - born Feb. 2, 1782, died Dec. 18, 1856. Jane C. McFarland - born Dec. 17, 1783, died Aug. 31, 1857. Mary (Polly) McFarland- born Apr. 8, 1786, died Sept."], 1837. Of these Joseph, Stephen, Prudence and Robert C. McFar- land were born in Bucks County, the others in this county. When Robert McFarland, Jr., came to this county, he brought with him quite a small trunk, partly filled with Continental money. The trunk is still in the old house in a good state of preservation, but minus all money. He also brought with him some seed of the honey-locust, which he sowed on the hill-side in front of the old house. The seed 8i sprouted and a number of honey-locusts grew to full size and were much admired until a few years since. One of them is still living, but showing its age. Robert McFarland, Jr., and his wife were buried in the old White Church graveyard, in Peters Township. By his will probated and recorded in this county, Robert McFarland, Jr., devised MacFarland's Delight (about that time changed to Mount Delight) to his two sons, Robert C. and John McFarland. In 1779 he "was elected and ordained an Elder of the Presbyterian Church of Mercersburg, and served as Elder until his death."

James McFarlane of Virginia, p. 119, she says that Thomas Neel was an attorney and they married in 1774 and then moved to the Grapefield section of what is Bland Co. today. He practiced law in Tazewell Co., was a Methodist Class leader and a farmer. Eleanor, in 1825, was living on the property of her father that was in the hands of her brother James, who mentioned her in his will of 1825.

209	Mary Helen Haines notes: It is not known positively that the Mary McFarland who married Samuel Montgomery and moved to Indiana is the daughter of this Robert McFarland; however, the timing and proximity, and lack of other options makes this the best bet. However, I do think it is possible that she is the unknown (so far) daughter of Robert McFarland, born 1730, son of John McFarland and Mary Montgomery. In 1772 Robert McFarland, b. 1730, son of John and Mary Montgomery McFarland, received 85 acres of land on Cedar Run, a branch of Reed Creek from the will of Samuel Crockett. He moved to this land, and lived here for 10 years. In 1772 this land was in Botetourt Co, but it is the same area that they first settled in. This land was never recorded as a deed, but is recorded in the Augusta County Will Book 3, p. 506, when Joseph Crockett willed it to his son Samuel, and then Samuel willed it to Robert in 1772. This acreage later became the town of Evansham, which was renamed Wytheville.

DNA testing has shown that descendants of James M. Lark, (born abt. 1829 in Russell County, VA, the bastard child of Polly Lark) matches the DNA of the descendants of James McFarlane, Sr., father of this James M. McFarlane. The young man James M. Lark, was ordered to be bound out in 1834 to George Finney in Russell County. In the 1850 census for George Finney, living in his household is James McFarlane, 21, a laborer born in Russell Co. It appears that he used that name in the census in 1850, but by 1860 and from then on, he uses Lark as a final name.

211	Mary Helen Haines notes: John McFarland, son of William, appears to have moved with his brothers to Green/Cumberland County KY about 1795. He is listed in the tax records in 1799 and owned 200 acres of land. See the notes on Alexander (his brother). No one knows John's wife's name, nor the names of other children beside William. Records over the years have shown William to be the son of John Stewart MacFarlane of Lee County VA, but research has shown that to be incorrect. So, what happened to John, the father of this William, after he left Cumberland Co. KY? If William married Rachel Farris in Sullivan Co. in 1811, it would appear that John was living there. More research into tax records and deeds needs to be done for Sullivan Co. TN. Most sources attribute the William of Lee County as the son of the John of Lee County. The John Stewart McFarlane of Lee County, VA is definitely not the son of William and Elizbeth Gibson McFarland, and not the father of this William. That John was born in England, came to the U.S. in 1778 and became a naturalized citizen in 1809 in Lee Co. where he practiced law in Lee and Tazewell Co. and had married Elizabeth Campbell, daugther of Arthur and Margaret Campbell. (Look for John Stewart MacFarlane in the index to see his notes) 1820 census Lee Co. p. 133: John Mc farlane: 4 males under 10, 2 males 10 thru 15, one over 45. One female under 10, 2 females 10 thru 15, 2 females 16 thru 25, one female 26 thru 44. 3 slaves. This is John Stewart MacFarlane, born bef. 1775. John Stewart MacFarlane does have a son named William Wallace McFarlane, but he is one of the young boys still living at home. William Mc Farlane is also on p. 133 and shows one male 26-45, 2 males under 10, one female 16-26, 2 females under 10. This is William, married to Rachel Farris. 1830 census Lee Co. John McFarlen, 1 male 10-14, 2 males 15-19, 1 male 60-69. One female 10-14, one 20-29, One female 50-59. 2 slaves. This is John Stewart MacFarlane John Stewart MacFarlane is not present in the 1840 census. He had left the area it seems around 1838. William is present in the 1820, 1830, and 1840 censuses, and in the tax records until 1846. Mentioned in will of Alexander Gibson, Sr. as a grandson.

213	Mary Helen Haines notes: Just had a Y-DNA match between the male McFarland line of Robert McFarland and a descendant of Richard Ramsey, born about 1740 in Lancaster Co.PA, died in 1824 Monroe Co. VA. So, this McFarland youngster could have been raised by Rebecca and adopted by Rebecca's husband John. In researching family trees, one has it that Richard Ramsey is the son of Richard Bartholomew Ramsey, born 1717, died 1793 in Bedford Co. VA. The Bedford Co. could be the connection. Found two conflicting reports on where Rachel Howard lived out her life. One report from p. 120 of Notes and Queries- Historical and Genealogical Chiefly Relating to Interior Pennsylvania (Reprint Third Series), Volume II by William Henry Egle, says that Rachel lived out her life in the home of Joseph Howard, son of Gordon by his first wife. The home was the mansion farm, later owned by J. Hershey. The other source, Genealogies of Pennsylvania families from the Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine, Vol. III, by Stauffer-Zerbe, p. 277, says that she died at the home of her son Capt. John Wilkins at age 84 in Pittsburgh. There is a Patent issued Nov. 3, 1742 to Rachael Wilkin for 300 acres in Lancaster Co. This would be after her husband's death. According to the notes below, she sold it in 1752. Her son John Wilkins moved to Carlisle in 1761/62, and her daughter Jean Wilkins married in 1759 to John Kirkpatrick who lived in that part of Lancaster Co. that became Cumberland Co. Then court records found at on-line family tree site: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kenmullins/p147.htm 1750-1754; p. 919.

Shortly following the marriage of Rachel Wilkins to Gordon Howard, there must have been a falling out: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/KYNELSON/2005-03/1110327342 From the Philadelphia Gazette: 15 August 1751. Whereas Rachel, the wife of Gordon Howard, of Donegal township, Lancaster County, hath elooped from her said husband, this is to forbid all persons trusting her on his account, for he will pay no debts of her contracting of any kind from the date hereof.

214	Mary Helen Haines notes: Just recently found out about Newton William Albert's first wife. Their marriage took place when she was only 14 years old. Mary Eugenia Stone must have been visiting her uncle, Kendrich Stone, who was married to Mary E. Etheridge, the daughter of Anna McFarland and Howard Etheridge. In the 1870 census, Kendrich and Mary are living with the Ethrige family #96, who lives next to the McFarland family of Newton and Sarah McFarland #97, Arthur McFarland #98, and James and Jane McFarland, #99 in Prec. 4, Fannin County. They would have all been living on the original land grant of James McFarland.	McFarland, Newton William Albert (I26458)
215	Mary Helen Haines notes: Miles McFarland was in the 1837 tax list in Lee Co. with his father and brother John. In 1838 he is gone, but father and brother are present. I found a Carter County marriage record for 1841 to a Hannah Whitt. They must have divorced, or annulled, because she is living with her parents Richard and Rebecca Whitt in Dist. 1, Carter Co. with a 7 year old Virginia L. Mcfarlane. The Whitts are from Virginia, according to other reseachers, from Russell Co. VA. Wonder if they traveled together. In the tax records for Carter Co. in 1842, Miles is shown as McFarlin, Miles, with 200 acres in Carter Co. on the Little Sandy, valued $400. I imagine this is land that Richard Whitt provided, because he doesn't have any by 1844. In the tax records for Carter Co. in 1843, McFarlen, Miles, with same 200 acres on Little Sandy, value $300. In 1844, Miles is shown with no land, 1 horse, and brother Hiram is there. In 1845, Miles and Hiram are both there with no land, Hiram has one horse, Miles has 3. In 1846, Miles, William, and Hiram are present with no land. There are no tax books for 1847 through 1851. In 1852, McFarlane, William with no land, John McFarlane, with 50 acres on the Gimblet, valued at $150, and Miles McFarlane with 300 acres on the Gimblet, value $200.	McFarland, Miles (I27072)
216	Mary Helen Haines notes: Name appears as Houston, Huston in census records, Huston C. in marriage record. This is not the same man who is the Houston McFarland, son of William McFarland and Susannah George. I am adding Huston McFarland to Reuben's family based on living next to Elizabeth and his child named Rubin and his occupation as cabinet maker. I haven't found any proof yet. 1840 census Huston McFarland in Cape Girardeau, age 20 to 29 with family. 1850 census in Saline Township, Ste.

I am adding Huston McFarland to this family based on living next to Elizabeth and his child named Rubin and his occupation as cabinet maker. I haven't found any proof yet. Another source has him as a son of William.	McFarland, Huston C. (I25636)
217	Mary Helen Haines notes: Note that James M. Lark was the illegitimate child of a McFarlane father and Polly Lark. No marriage took place. That has been proven by the Y-DNA test, which puts his descendant in the same group as the descendants of this line of McFarlanes. The reason he is attached to this James McFarlane is because he was the only logical McFarlane of the right age in this area. Also the name he was given by Polly also points this father. For a full reading of all the documents that back up this assertion, go to the Lark Family web-site at http://www.larkfamilygenealogy.com which is maintained by Cindy Lark, whose research led me to this conclusion.	Lark, James M. BY214647 (I27259)
218	Mary Helen Haines notes: Nothing is know about Jean. Her name is mentioned by McDowell in his paper "Mount Delight."	McFarland, Jean (I7741)
219	Mary Helen Haines notes: One source says that this William George Jr. was born in Tazewell Co. VA. Tennessee: There is a patent, Grant #90 on July 30, 1808 issued to William George for 227 acres south of the French Broad and Holston, above the mouth of the Nolachucky, corner to Samuel Jack and George Carter. Hard to know if this is Sr. or Jr. Missouri: Tax List for Cooper Co. MO. 1819 - 22. George: Reuben, Wm. and Lewis together, Jessee, William. Land Records: 1823: Nov. 15, Reuben George assignee of William George #70, 80 acres: Sect. 24, 48N, 17W (Petite Saline area near Boonville) 1825: June 1, Reuben George, assignee of William George #146, 80 acres: Sect. 24, 48 N, 17 W (Boonville area) Hard to know if this is William George Jr., but assume it is. There is a William George marrying Lucy McFarland on June 14, 1806 in Jefferson Co., TN according to the transcription in the book Marriages of Jefferson County Tennessee, p. 15. Is this the same two people? She would only be 13 years old. Something not correct here. Some have her birthdate as May 2, 1793. I believe that the Dec. 13, 1788 makes much more sense. Otherwise she would only be 12 years old when getting married. In the Cooper Co. web-site, in what is called the McFarland and Martin Plot, north of Clarksburg, Township 46-N, Range 16-W, sect. 24, is a stone for Sally George. Information says she was born Dec. 13, 1788, died May 23, 1856. Married Wm. George on June 17, 1805. Do not know where this info. came from.	George, William (I25399)
220	Mary Helen Haines notes: Polly Ann Barton must have died shortly after William's birth. While George and his two eldest children moved back to Tennessee, where he remarried, and had another family, his youngest son William stayed in Missouri with his grandmother Hannah Barton, now also a widow. In 1850 Hannah Barton and William McFarlin are living in Travis County with Hannah's daughter Sarah Chamberland and her family. My information concerning William Thomas Barton McFarland comes from the book written in 1955 by Joe Osborn, a descendant of this family line.	McFarland, William Thomas Barton (I7773)
221	Mary Helen Haines notes: Several years ago two different men who descend from this John married to Jenny Moore did the Y-DNA testing and both men match the other descendants from this line of Robert and Jennet. So far, the connecting documents have not proven who John's father is. He could be Robert, born 1730, married to Martha based on a John McFarland who appears in the records in VA and TN listed below, or he could have another parent that we do not know about. The "magic bullet" has not been found. Virginia: There is an extra John McFarland who appears in Montgomery County VA in 1777 signing the Allegience oath. Also there is a John McFarland who sells his 100 acres near Pine Ridge to John Cypher. Then there is the John McFarland, living near Robert and James in Washington Co. VA in 1783 tax lists. However, that John could be John Stewart McFarland who marries Elizabeth Campbell. I believe that this John McFarland could be the same one who married Jenny Moore in 1779 in Rockbridge Co. VA, but never seems to have lived there. I think that Robert had a son named John (it just makes sense, doesn't it), who followed him to Washington Co. VA with his brother Robert Jr. and James, and then followed them to TN and purchased the land on Flat Creek near Robert Jr. That land was sold in 1792, and then John McFarland appears in Christian Co. KY where he purchased land on the Muddy Creek. He has a land patent there in 1797. He died in 1815, His descendants have taken the DNA test and are close matches to everyone else who has taken the test and are from this lineage. It means that various land purchases attributed to John McFarland (married to Mary Kinder) in Tennessee are probably not his, but instead his nephew's...this John McFarland. Here are my notes on tax and land records in Greene Co./Jefferson Co. TN that could pertain to either John, son of Robert, or John, brother of Robert. John McFarland was not present for taxes in 1783 in Greene Co. TN, His move must have been around 1784. We know he (John married to Mary Kinder) sold his VA land in 1786 and was living in the State of Franklin at that time. Greene County (what became Tennessee) was formed in April 1783 by North Carolina out of the Washington District which had been formed in 1777. In 1787 Greene Co. tax list, John McFarlin appears for the first time, with no acres. He is in Abraham McKay's list., same as Thomas Love. He does not appear in that same list in 1796 with Thomas Love; however the purchase from Alex. Outlaw below would be in Jefferson Co. after 1792. No more McFarlands show up on the Greene Co. tax list until 1798 when James McFarland, who has purchased 114 acres from Joseph McFarland appears on their list. Note about the Love family. Robert Love, born 1760, and brother Thomas Love, born 1766, were the childen of Samuel Love and Dorcas Bell. They were living in what became Wythe Co. VA and in 1782 moved away. Thomas was living in Greene Co. as you see above. He then moved on to Buncombe Co. by 1790--that part that became Haywood Co. NC, along with brother Robert. Their arrival must have inspired the move by John McFarland's (Mary Kinder wife) family. 1788: March 25, Deed Book 4, p. 107 Green Co. Abstracts Indenture bet Alex. Outlaw and John McFarland.

There are later John McFarland records in TN; however I believe those records up till 1799 belong to John McFarland, married to Mary Kinder. After that, they are records belonging to John McFarland, son of Robert McFarland Jr. (the one who fought in the Rev.) Kentucky: The land grants made to John in Christian Co. KY are listed in The Kentucky Land Grants, by Willard Rouse Jillson, Vol. 1, p. 373 from section labeled Grants South of Green River. It also lists a grant to William McFarland for 50 acres in Book 5, p. 208, in Muhlenberg Co. on Cypress Creek, made Oct. 4, 1804. Christian Co. formed in 1796 from Logan Co., 1799 Muhlenberg was formed from Christian Co., and in 1819 Todd Co. was created from Christian Co. From Dawn Daddario e-mail on Aug 2, 2014: 1797: John McFarland is on the tax list in Christian County, Ky re: 200 acres on Nelson Creek, and 200 acres on Caney Creek. 1798: John McFarland is listed duplicately in Christian County and Muhlenberg County on the tax list for 200 acres on Cypress Creek. 1800: John McFarland is listed on the Muhlenberg County tax list. New information from Dawn through e-mail. John McFarland is on the tax list for Muhlenberg Co. from 1799 through 1809, when he sells this land and moves to Christian County sometime during 1810. He does not appear on any census in either Christian or Muhlenberg County. He did purchase land in 1810 in Christian Co. but died before he was able to pay it, and his children finished up paying it. It appears John and Jenny had another child: Elizabeth "Betsy" - who was mentioned with the other children in the estate records of CC in 1817. In the next year, 1818, records do not mention her name. Note: James and Martha McMackin McFarland, also had a daughter Elizabeth, "Betsy" but she married John Caldwell and lived for quite a bit longer in a different area of Kentucky.

There was a John McFarland present in Washington Co. VA as late as 1786 when he was on a jury in a trial. P. 1191 Minutes of the County Court of Washington Co. Could this be the John who settles in Christian Co. KY in the late 1700s and dies there in 1815? The DNA indicates the possibility.	McFarland, John BY3019-FT218687 (I24730)
222	Mary Helen Haines notes: So who is this person. Marriage? Lived where on any census?	McFarland, James (I8460)
223	Mary Helen Haines notes: There are no marriage records of a Burress, Burriss, etc. to Rhoda; however it now appears she had two children around 1805 that she gave up in 1810 to William Smith. So, who is the likely Burress father? There is a James Burress born Ap. 1807 who married Mary Francis Neal and appears to be neighbors. So, if a Burress is the father of James B. McFarland, it could be James Burress' father, who family trees claim as Micajah. However this Micajah was born in 1777 in Bedford Co. VA, was living in Montgomery Co. VA in the 1810 census. In 1820 he was in Lebanon of Russell Co. VA. However, there are other Burress's in the area. One name that shows up is a William Burriss of Tazewell Co. that sells 200 acres on Sept. 26, 1806 to a Henry Stump. Book 1, p. 275. In the 1840 census there is a Jacob Stump (age 30 to 40, prob. son of Henry) on same page as William Smith Esq. (the person who took in Rhoda McFarland's two children in 1810). A Henry Stump in the 1850 census is living in the Western District of Tazewell next to Kinders, Archibald Thompson. In 1820 census for Tazewell Co. there is an Alexr Barris, over 45. There is a Thomas Barris, age 26-44, and John Barus with 2 males 26-44. There is no separate census for Tazewell Co. in 1810. The residents are in the Wythe Co. census. However I did not find any Burress in those.	Burriss (I26629)
224	Mary Helen Haines notes: There is some confusion as to the two George Washington McFarlands. One is the son of Jacob and Nancy Cathey McFarland, born October 18, 1809 in Haywood Co. NC. The other is George Washington McFarland, born Jan. 25, 1809 in Haywood, son of James Ray and Frances Webb McFarland. It seems that this is the correct matching, and there is no record of what happens to the child of Jacob and Nancy. Most trees have that George Washington married Anna Clarkson, Dec. 16, 1831 in Missouri City, Ft. Bend Co. TX. This is outside Houston TX. I have not seen a marriage certificate with this fact, but it seems awfully strange. However, there is no record of their marriage in Cooper County, where it most likely would have taken place. The trees also have that her parents are John Clarkson (1778-1838) and Mary Webb (1788-1870). In the 1830 census in Cooper Co. Mo there is a John Clarkson on p. 208. Jacob and Nancy Cathey McFarland are on p. 212. James Ray and Frances Webb McFarland are on p. 230. Is Frances Webb, born 1772 a sister of Mary Webb? It seems that she could be related. I have found the census records that seem to correctly place this George Washington McFarland. In 1840, George W. McFarland is living in Tebo township, Rives Co. MO, age 30-39 with wife 20-29. On same page is a Wm. Clarkson age 30-39, and on previous page is a John Clarkson, same age range as Wm. In 1840 Rives Co. becomes Henry county and the St. Clair County is created from a section of Henry. In 1850 George is living in St. Clair Co., MO working as a gunsmith with his wife Ann and family. Also in the same county is Mary Clarkson, living with her son Merritt Clarkson. In 1860 Mary and son Merritt Clarkson are in Lamar Co. TX. In 1860 the George McFarland family is in Cass County, living next to Sarah Hix McFarland, widow of Alexander McFarland, George's brother. 1860 census: Sugar Creek township, Cass Co. MO P.O.

230	Mary Helen Haines notes: Although I have not seen it, it would seem logical that the H. is for Henry. John H. McFarland appears in the 1830 census in St. Francois county as the head of the family. He is living next to Samuel Vance and near John McFarland and Reuben McFarland. He is also there in the 1840 census. In 1850 he is on p. 161, fam. 131 in St. Francois Co. John H. McFarland made two land claims in St. Francois County. First was made 1-17-1837 for 40 acres, Cert. # 1811: SESW 3, 35-N, 6E, 5th PM. Second was made 8-10-41, for 40 acres, Cert. #6862, NESW 3, 35-N, 6E, 5th PM. It appears to be adjacent to Sand Cr., to the west of Farmington near where Hwy. F crosses Best Road. All of his oldest children would have been born in this location in Liberty township, St. Francois County. It seems he moved to St. Louis where his children were after the death of his wife. He was living in a boarding house in East St. Louis in 1870. It appears he died across the river, back in Missouri, and his body was taken back to Ironton to be buried.	McFarland, John Henry (I27796)

He was the first settler in this county who practiced the healing art. He made himself very useful to the early settlers as a physician. He built the first sawmill on Lick Creek and soon after added a gristmill, so as to furnish his neighbors both bread and lumber. He had two sons , Samuel and William, both living in the neighborhood, enterprising and respectable citizens. He had two daughters, Jane E. (who married John McCollum) and Eliza (who married Thomas N. Thomas). Benjamin McFarland died at the house of his son Samuel McFarland in the year 1860, in the ninetieth year of his age, his wife having died some years previous.

232	Mary Helen Haines notes: From The Tinkling Spring: Headwater of Freedom, by Howard McKnight Wilson, 1954, p. 171. Sam'l Montgomery is listed with James Harris, James Davies, Jas Hollis and George Brakenridge as the Representatives of the Unity congregation of the Tinkling Spring Presbytery, that served the people settled on the waters of Holston River and Reed Creek. There were 45 families in this congregation. Dated Oct. 14, 1768. Robert Montgomery was a representative to the Boiling Spring congregation with 42 families. He served with David Sairs, Wm Sairs, Nathaniel Welcher, and William Herbert. The church was believed to be located near Fort Chiswell and served the people on Lower Reed Creek in present Wythe Co. VA. In the list of tithables for 1772 in Capt. Doack's Company, taken by Walter Crockett included all the Crocketts, the Finleys, the Kinders, John McFarland, Robert Mackfarland, and his son James, Samuel Montgomery as well as many Montgomerys. Samuel Montgomery was born about 1748 in Augusta (now Botetourt) County, Virginia, and moved about 1771 to Botetourt (now Wythe) County, Virginia: about 1772 he married Mary McFarland. In 1784 he bought 175 acres from Samuel Crockett of Bedford County, Virginia, (Montgomery Co. Deeds) and on August 24, 1784, he and his wife Mary sold 165 acres in Montgomery (now Wythe) County, Virginia, to William Finlay and moved to Lincoln (now Boyle) County, Kentucky, where on May 28, 1793, he bought 120 acres from Jacob and Ann Copelin. In 1811 he bought 36 acres on Boone's Mill Creek from Thomas Herring and sold it to Daniel O'Bannon for $1,200 on March 13, 1812: he sold O'Bannon 120 acres for $920 on February 19, 1812. In 1811 he moved to Knox (now Gibson) County, Indiana, where he lived on the NE 1/4 of Sec. 24, T3, KR12W; he died there about 1815. [1] Next history is about Samuel and Mary's grandson: Samuel Benson Montgomery, but includes information of his ancestors. FROM: History of Posey County, Indiana John C. Leffel, Editor Standard Publishing Company Chicago 1913. Samuel Benson Montgomery, physician and surgeon of Cynthiana, Ind., is a member of a family which has figured prominently in the history of the world since 944, the death of Yves de Bellesme, Count of Alencon, in Normandy, the first person recorded as bearing the name of Montgomery, occurring in that year. Since that time the Montgomerys have been heard of in France, England, Holland, Scotland, Ireland and America, his descendants having located in all those countries. It is from those that lived in Scotland and Ireland that we have the American line, and the antecedents of our subject. In 1605 Hugh Montgomery, of Braidstane, Scotland, was given title to one-third of the Con Oneil estate of Ireland for services rendered in Oneil's behalf in securing his pardon from King James. Mr. Montgomery at once set about to place a desirable class of emigrants on the large possessions he had secured. Of the first fifty-one families he brought there six families bore the name Montgomery, and within five years his colonization was so successful that he was able to report 1,000 men at his Majesty's service. Out of the amalgamation of the thousands of Scotch emigrants brought into Ireland by Hugh Montgomery and other knights, with the native Irish, came the Scotch Irish family, many of whom have come to America, settling at first in Virginia and finally scattering in every State in the Union. Samuel Montgomery, Sr., a direct descendant of Hugh Montgomery, was born in Virginia about 1740, and served in the Revolutionary war. He was quiet, peace loving, industrious and religious, and was highly esteemed by his neighbors. He was an elder in the old Presbyterian church in Kentucky, and in 1814, three years after coming to Indiana, he consented to assist in the organization of the Cumberland Presbyterian church. This he did at the earliest solicitation of Rev. William Barnett, and with them in the project was James Knowles, an elder in the Old School Presbyterian church. These three men formed the basis for the first Cumberland Presbyterian church of Indiana, and they formed the new organization without reordination or relinquishing any part of their former faith, and for the sole purpose of advancing the cause of Christ. Samuel Montgomery, Sr., married Polly McFarland, in Virginia, and later removed to Perryville, Ky. In 1811 he came with most of his family to Indiana and settled in Gibson county. The father of Samuel Montgomery, Sr., had slaves, and the son, being a religious man, did not believe it was right, and for that reason left home with his belongings and came to Indiana, where he set his negroes free at Evansville, which at that time consisted of two log houses and a cornfield. He bought his land at $1.50 per acre. It is now worth $200 per acre. Samuel Montgomery, Jr., was born in Kentucky in 1794, the ninth and youngest child of Samuel Montgomery, Sr. At the age of seventeen years he belonged to the State militia, and at the time of the call of General Harrison for help at the battle of Tippecanoe, he was absent on a visit. Upon returning and learning that his company had joined General Harrison, he hastily followed on horseback, but met his company at Vincennes, on their return. He married Sarah Montgomery on November 15, 1814. She was born in 1793, and died in August, 1829. This was the thirty eighth marriage license issued in Gibson county. Five children were born to this union. He was married the second time in 1833, when Nancy Robb, nee Davis, became his wife. Five children were born to this second marriage. Mr. Montgomery was drawn on the first jury in the county. Court was held in a small log cabin southwest of Princeton, on the McCurdy farm. Jesse M. Montgomery, the tenth and youngest child of Samuel Montgomery, Jr., was born May 5, 1845, in Gibson county, Indiana He is a farmer by occupation, and a staunch Republican in politics, having represented Gibson county in the legislature in 1887. He now lives one mile north of Cynthiana, where he has one of the finest farms in the county. On November 22, 1866, he married Lemira Benson, a daughter of William Benson, of Montgomery township, Gibson county, and they became the parents of three children all of whom received college educations. Samuel B. Montgomery, the youngest child of Jesse M. and Lemira (Benson) Montgomery, was born on his father's farm in Gibson county, one mile north of Cynthiana, July 6, 1874. He was raised on the farm, completed the common schools and graduated from the Owensville High School in 1892. He attended Wabash College one year and then entered the medical department of the University of Louisville, where he graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medicine, in 1898. He located at Poseyville, Ind., for practice, remaining there one year. He then went to St. Wendel, where he remained three years, and although successful in both these places he decided to locate in Cynthiana, and came here in 1902. He enjoys a large and lucrative practice, and is a member of the Posey County and Indiana State Medical societies, and the American Medical Association. He belongs to the Christian church, the Modern Woodmen of America, and the Court of Honor. Politically, he is a Progressive. On September 15, 1898, Dr. Montgomery married Miss Eva L. Boyle. daughter of Henry and Matilda (McReynolds) Boyle, both natives of Indiana, the father of Vanderburg county, and the mother of Posey county. Her parents are now retired, living in Cynthiana in the summer and in Florida in the winter. Mrs. Montgomery was born in Vanderburg counfy, July 17, 1879, and was educated in the common and high schools of Cynthiana, and at Owensboro College, Owensboro, Ky. They are the parents of two children: Mary Leona, born March 5, 1901, and Dorothy Mae, born March 16, 1905. Mrs. Montgomery is a member of the Presbyterian church, and active in its charities.

236	Mary Helen Haines notes: My beloved aunt....she was taken away too soon by breast cancer. Aunt Jane hosted me at her house during one summer when I was in highschool and it is one of my favorite memories. Jane was quite a popular girl in highschool. There are these quotes from the newspaper: "Officers' Dance Is High School Feature---Officers from every high school in Dallas were entertained at a formal dance Friday night in the Highland Park High School gymnasium...Al Avery led the grand march with Jane Hill." and then another event "Jane Hill danced with so many poeple that it was hard to find out who was her escort." also "Mis Jane Hill will entertain with an open house for 200 guests from 2 to 5 o'clock Sunday afternnon at her home, 5406 Junius street. The guests will be received by Miss Hill and her mother, Mrs. Joe M. Hill. ....During the afternoon, tea will be poured by Mrs. Clyde W. Gwinn, Mrs. Gordon B. McFarland, Mrs. James R. McFarland and Mrs. Durward Mahon....Out of town guests will include Miss Frances Williams of Ladonia and Miss Elizabeth Speight of Waco." This obituary is from The Ladonia News, July 22, 1977.

237	Mary Helen Haines notes: Sources on Ancestry put Andrew's birth as Nov. 26, 1731 in Lancaster Co. PA. This does not make sense that he would have the same birth date as his wife. Nancy's date comes from the McFarland Bible in Morristown TN. Augusta County Surveys: 1747/1748: Robert Evans, 180 acres on Reed Creek. (Not sure if he is related to Andrew, but probably) 1750: Andrew Evans, 347 acres on a branch of Reed Creek, adjoining the Black Lick Survey, granted 1753, also grant for 1,300 acres on Reed Creek, 1753.

(The John is John Stewart MacFarlane, from Scotland, not a relative, married to Elizabeth Campbell, daughter of Col. Arthur Campbell.) Also present in this district is Andrew Evans, one tithe, 2 horses, 3 cattle. Since there are no Robert McFarlands left in Montgomery Co. this must be Robert Sr, with Jr. in one house, eldest son James. Col. Arthur Campbell lives in his district, and land deeds describe it as being on the middle fork of the Holston, Mill Creek, south of Abington. Green Co. and Jefferson Co.

239	Mary Helen Haines Notes: According to Doug Jenkins, and then from the Montgomery County rootsweb site, Daniel Robinette is the husband of Mary McFarland. This is the Mary McFarland, daughter of William McFarland of the Duncan line. ROBINET, Daniel and Mary McFARLAND, Jan. 1786 Some trees have him as Daniel Robinett, dying Jan. 10, 1842 at Walkers Creek, Wythe Co. In 1834 Daniel sold his land in Wythe Co. His wife Ann signed the deed. The land was adjacent James and Michael Robinette's land. This Ann is considered to be Mary Ann Justice. When Daniel Robinett died in 1842, he left a will in Wythe naming his wife Anna, daughters Elizabeth, Sophrona, Margaret, sons George and James. James was the executor. There is another suit that seems to convey that he had an earlier marriage and children from that marriage. Therefore Mary McFarland could have been the first marriage, she died, and he remarried. So, we definitely know that Rhoda is not married to Daniel. In the 1850 census in Wythe Co. there is an Ann Robinett, born 1774 in NC living with a George Robinett born in 1815, as well as the sisters Elizabeth, Saphrona, Lenora. On the same page, a few houses down, is James B. McFarland with sons Jacob and Lorenzo Dow. The following information has mixed up his brother with him. CONFLICT: Below information believed to be for a Michael Robinett. PARENTS: Samuel ROBINETT and Mary FICKEL or PIGG. NAME: ROBINETT or ROBINETTE. PLACE: Born in Botetourt County, Now Bland County, VA. RESIDENCE: Lived 1790 to 1830 in Wythe County, VA. MARRIAGE: Michael Robinett born 1765-1767 Botetourt co, VA and died Scott Co, VA.

240	Mary Helen Haines notes: I wish to thank Jim Black for his photocopies, Mary Kegley for her books, Sharon Sinner and Jerry McFarland for their information about Tazewell county and Burkes Garden, and others for their e-mail exchanges that motivated this complilation. This James B. McFarland is not descended from the line of Alexander and Elizabeth Tennent McFarland. He is not the son of Levin and Sarah Bonecutter McFarland of Frederick County, and did not live in Shenandoah County, VA. The James McFarland of Shenandoah County, born abt. 1807, is still present in Shenandoah County in 1850 and beyond, while this James B. McFarland is in Wythe and Tazewell Counties. I came to the conclusion that James B. McFarland , must be the son of Rhoda McFarland and a male with the surname Burress (Burris) because of the results of DNA testing. Two males from the line of James B. from 2 of his eldest sons do not match the line of Levin McFarland's 3 descendants from two different sons that do match each other. However, the descendants of James B. McFarland do match the surname Burris or Burrows.This and the following documents that Rhoda was a daughter of William McFarland, and that Rhoda had a son named James made this seem the logical conclusion. I recieved various e-mails over the years from people who are descended from the line of William McFarland of Wolf Creek that led me to information that William McFarland, who died in 1791 in Wythe Co. might have had a second wife named Louesa, and children by her named Rhoda, Martha, and there is one more girl named Rachael that shows up in records. Rhoda shows up in records in Tazewell Co. when she was bound out in 1801, and then when she binds out 2 children, James and Nancy in 1810, and she is married to a man named Robnit by 1810. Following these hints, then going to the county records and census records I have been able to follow where James lived and his children, and follow Rhoda in her life. Starting with William McFarland. William arrived in the Wolf Creek area about 1770. Back home in Augusta Co. (Jackson River area), his wife must have died and in 1775 his father-in-law went to court asking for the children to be bound to him. William had 300 acres surveyed on Wolf Creek and settled there, but the formal documents for this property were not finalized until after his death. William's children began moving to Wolf Creek. The eldest girl Eleanor, married to Thomas Neel in Augusta, moved here in the 1770s, and probably lived on William's land. When William died in 1791, his son James was named the administrator of his estate.(March 8, 1791, in Annals of Southwest Virginia, p. 1361) This is in the Wythe Co. records also. However, there is a gap in their county court records from 1792-95, which may have some critical records where the estate goods were sold, or the heirs signed over property. It is not till 1801 that records in Tazewell Co. show that William's son Daniel in Cumberland Co. KY sign over his rights to brother James. In 1817, Isabella McFarland Crawford sells her part to brother James while she is living in Greene Co. TN. Concerning Louesa: 1793: Louesa (Lucresa) McFarland is on the tax list for Wythe Co., owned 2 cattle.The census taker (John Davies Commissioner for area north of Walkers Mt) visited her on May 22, the same day he visited Thomas Neel(husband of Eleanor McFarland, daughter of Wm), who had 3 tithes and 10 cattle, and William Kidd. This indicates they were all immediate neighbors. This land becomes Tazewell Co. when the county was formed in 1800, and then Bland Co. when it was formed in 1861. It is near the present town of Grapefield today. Louesa must have died in the late 1790s because daughter Rhoda was bound out. Source: Archives of the Pioneers of Tazewell Co. by Netti Shriner Yantis, p. 5, from Order Book 1, p. 20, on January 6, 1801 "Overseers of the Poor bind Rhoda McFarland infant of William McFarland to John Peery, Gent." Mary Kegley informed me that the Peerys were prominent people in Tazewell Co. This statement does not mean she was an infant the way we think of it, but that she was too young to be independent. Later census records for Rhoda indicate she was born abt. 1789, so she was abt. 11 years old. Her probable sister Martha marries George Justice in 1802 in Tazewell Co. Another entry in Order Book 1, p. 210, in 1806 has Rhoda MacFarlane and John Peery testifying in a Tazewell court proceeding. (p. 64 or Archives) In about 1805, Rhoda gave birth to two children, which she binds out in 1810. Order Book 1, p. 357, March 27, 1810, Ordered that the overseers of the Poor bind James and Nancy McFarlin, children of Rhoda McFarlin, now Rhoda Robnit [usually Robinett] to William Smith (WR) as the law directs. (Archives, p. 104) It is not clear from census records whether they were twins or born closely together. Both show up in later census records as being born abt. 1805. William Smith is in the 1810 census record in Wythe Co., Image 36/46. In his household is one male under 5, and 2 females under 10. In 1820 William Smith is in Tazewell Co. and also has the appropriately aged children to be James and Nancy. By 1830 James McFarland appears to be living in Wythe Co. near Walkers Creek area, where he appears in the census as James D. McFarland, p. 345. Image 66/109. He is a male 20-30, wife the same. There is one boy under 5 (Lorenzo Dow probably) and then 3 other children who would not be his. In 1840, James Mcfarlane is still in Wythe Co., He is male 30-39, with wife the same. There are 2 males under 5 (Stephen, David), one 5 to 9 (Jacob), one 10-14 (Lorenzo Dow) and one 15 tthru 19 ?. One female under 5 (Elizabeth), one 5 thru 9 (Susannah, Jemima?), one 10 thru 14 (?), one 15 thru 19 (Jane who appears in the 1850 census, who might be a niece). Since the census is not alphabetical, we can see his neighbors: Ambrose Grayson, William Heninger (married to Barbara Lambert),John Lambert Jr, Samuel and Henry Lambert, Solomon Perkey (married to Peggy Lambert),Francis Gullion, Solomon Kimberling. From Mary Kegley's history of the Lambert family, we see that John Lambert Jr. obtained 159 acres on Walkers Creek, so this is where James McFarland was living in 1840 and 50 before he moved to Tazewell Co. by 1860. In the county court records of June 8,1840 a record appears in Abstracts of Court Records of Wythe County, Virginia, 1790-1791, 1795-1810, Volume 1; Mary B Kegley,p. 168. " Claims for killing wolves and foxes:....James B. McFarland (Ben R. Gibboney & Co.) 1 old wolf, $5.00." During these years in Wythe County, the children were attending school. However, James and a few of his neighbors could not afford to pay the fees, so the Commissioner would ask the teachers to fill forms outlining the names of the children and parents who could not pay, so that the teacher could be compensated. Mary Kegley gathered this information into her book The Lost Children of Wythe County, Virginia,1790-1878.

Burks Garden Info from e-mail received in 2014 concerning the parents of James B. McFarland: I am researching the family of James B. McFarland (1809-1876) who lived in Tazewell Co., VA. It appears that he was the son of a Rhoda McFarland and unknown Burriss because he is alternatively called James Burriss in some records, but mostly he is always called "James B. McFarland" in all Wythe and Tazewell Co., VA records. James' mother, Rhoda McFarland is mentioned in court records first as "infant of William McFarland" and then two of her children are bound out in 1810, James and Nancy McFarland, and she is referred to as "now Rhoda Robinett." As to her father, William McFarland, he appears to be the one that died in 1791 in Wythe Co., VA. There are deeds in Tazewell Co., VA where Daniel, James, and Isabella Crawford are named as William's heirs. I have only checked books and I have never checked the deeds themselves, but I suspect there are other deeds. (1) "Overseers of the poor bind Rhoda McFarland, infant of William McFarland, to John Peery, Gentleman." 6 Jan 1801 Tazewell Co., VA. My interpretation of this is as follows: About this same time in Tazewell Co., VA, George Justice marries Martha McFarland. When William McFarland died in 1791, James McFarland became his administrator; however, no estate was ever administered. A Lucinda/Louesa/Lucy McFarland is on the tax lists until the late 1790's. When Rhoda "McFarling" Robinette died in Wise Co., Virginia in 1867, her parents were given as Wm. and Lucy McFarling. So that Lucinda McFarland on the tax lists would be the widow of William McFarland. I think William's first wife died around the time of that court record where Alexander Gibson got custody of his kids (1775). For some reason, William McFarland's land grants for the surveys he made in the early 1780's were not actually granted until 1800 and 1805. There should be deeds from all the heirs, but I need to go there because I can't find them in available books. From William McFarland's marriage to Lucinda, he had at least Martha and Rhoda - perhaps more. (2) "Overseers of the poor bind James and Nancy McFarland, children of Rhoda McFarland, now Robnit, to William Smith (WR) as the law directs." 24 Apri 1810. Tazewell Co., Virginia. Nancy married Jacob Giffitts in 1825 and raised a large family. She had daughters named Rhoda and Louesa/Lucy. Nancy died in Tazewell Co., VA after 1880. The source of this information was identified by Mary B. Kegley in an e-mail, Sept. 2014: "From a published source, page 104, of Archives of the Pioneers of Tazewell Co. by Netti Shriner Yantis, she published Order book 1, and on page 357 records this: March 27, 1810, Ordered that the overseers of the Poor bind James and Nancy McFarlin, children of Rhoda McFarlin, now Rhoda Robnit [usually Robinett] to William Smith (WR) as the law directs. On page 5 there was another interesting item (page 20 of the court order book), January 6, 1801, Ordered that overseers of the Poor bind Rhoda McFarland infant of William McFarland to John Peery, Gent. [Peerys were a very prominent family of Tazewell County]. There may be other references. " In the 1840 census of Tazewell Co. William Smith, esq. age 70 to 79 is on same page as Jacob Stump and lots of Prewitts, one page over from James Burriss, age 30 to 40 and tons of Neels. This would explain the YDNA match to Burress surname, but not any McFarlands. If this is true, then it means that this line is descended from Duncan McFarland (of later Bath Co.), through his son William who died in 1791 in Wythe Co. (Wolf Creek area), which is where all this group of people lived. There is a James Burriss in Tazewell Co. born 1800-1810 in the 1830, 1840, 1850 and 1860 censuses. He is married to Mary Frances Neel. So this James Burriss is separate from the James McFarland below married to Christina (prob. Lambert). The census numbers below indicate the presence of the two boys Lorenzo Dow and Jacob Burris from the very beginning; they are not adopted children. Some people have speculated that Lorenzo Dow and Jacob Burris were informally adopted by James B. McFarland, or were bound to James B. and that they were products of a Burris male. However, it is my belief that James B. McFarland and his sister Nancy, children of Rhoda McFarland, later Robinett, were the children of a Burris male. The only way to know for sure is to find a male descendant of David McFarland to test their Y-DNA to see if he matches a Burress also, or matches the known descendants of William McFarland.

I believe they were probably unofficially adopted by James B McFarland. Although we find written records of these brothers with the surname of Burriss, they later took the surname of McFarland. It appears they lived with and were raised by James B McFarland and his wife, Christiana. Early records from from Wythe County, VA ("Lost Children of Wythe County") show Lorenzo and Jacob living with James and listing their surnames as McFarland. Both Lorenzo and Jake's marriage documents from Wythe County show their surname as Burriss. Furthermore, records from Sharon Lutheon Church in Ceres show the brothers still using the surname of Burriss in 1852. In the 1870 and 1880 census records, the brothers are using the surname McFarland. Lorenzo is living in Bland County in 1870 and in Tazewell County in 1880. Jake is living in Tazewell in both 1870 and 1880. If any Burriss or McFarland searcher can help with this family, I would greatly appreciate it...Dave Bane -------------------------------------- Re: Neel/McFarland Family of Tazewell Co, VA Posted by: Elizabeth Juhala-Borders (ID **3371) Date: April 27, 2003 at 13:15:32 In Reply to: Re: Neel/McFarland Family of Tazewell Co, VA by Mary Mathis of 1107 Hi Mary, Do you have any information on Alex Neel, we have him married to Mary A. McFarland/McFarlane, d/o James B. McFarland & Christiana (Who I believe is also a Neel). They had several children together, but something happened as we find Mary living with her father in 1870 Tazewell County, VA. with her dau, Molly 3; Shelby 2; Napoleon (Which is Alen Napoleon Neel) 6/12 months. We also believe that Wheeling in 1880 census living with Mary's brother, Ballard and his wife Eliza Spracher McFarland is Alex and Mary McFarland Neel's son. They are found in the 1880 Census living with Eliza's father, Peter Spracher. Dane Bane a cousin of mine has found a marriage for Alex and Barbara McFarland Neel, I don't have that information as yet. If you have any information you can share, I would appreciate it. Alen N. was adopted by James & Emalilne Bane McFarland. Alen Napoleon Neel/McFarlane was my grandmother's first marriage in Leigh, Colfax County, Nebraska. I will share information with you.

McFarland. His birth name was Burris. So he would have been an adopted brother of Alex Napolean Neel who also appears to have been adopted by James B. McFarland. Jacob McFarland was the father of James S. McFarland who married Sarah Elizabeth "Betty" (Hanshew). Both Alex Napolean Neel/McFarland and James S. and Sarah McFarland lived in Leigh, Colfax County, Nebraska.

241	Mary Helen Haines: There is no firm knowledge that Ruth Buchanan Jack is the daughter of Samuel Jack and sister of Sally Jack. They are put together here by circumstantial evidence of where they lived and who exists in the records.	Jack, Ruth Buchanan (I26603)
242	Mary Helen Haines: Lorenzo Dow is named for a very popular Methodist minister. born 1777 in Connecticut, who is the inventor of camp meetings. There are lots of young men named Lorenzo Dow during this time. A descendant of Lorenzo Dow McFarland took the Y-DNA test and it showed that the father of this line was a Burress, or some variation of that name. This means that his father James B. McFarland was probably a Burress. There is a James Burriss born abt. 1807 who married Mary Frances Neel who died abt. 1853. He then married Polly Cox in 1871. He died 1883 in Tazewell. His father was Micajah Burress, born 1775 in Bedford Co. VA, in 1795 was in Montgomery Co. VA, and in 1840 and 1850 was in Russell Co. VA 1860 census, Lorenzo Dow McFarland and wife living in Wythe Co. next to the Spanglers. The Spanglers lived near Ceres (Bland Co. today) at the foot of Brushy Mountain according to the land deeds.	McFarland, Lorenzo Dow (I27318)
243	Mary Neal is mentioned in two documents as the daughter of Eleanor Neal, yet she is not listed in the list of children that appeared in the Bland County history. It appears as if she never married and is living with her brother Zachariah and his wife Cynthia and their children in the 1850 census in Tazewell Co. She is listed as the head of the family, and the owner of the land worth $400 that they are living on. Need to go to Tazewell Co. deeds and see if she purchased the land from James McFarlane's heirs after she religuished the title to the land.	Neel, Mary (I5526)
244	MaryHelenHaines notes: A descendant from this line of Andrew took the Y-DNA test and is a close match to the other descendants of Robert McFarland, who died in 1751 in Lancaster Co. This would be consistent with being descended from John, son of Joseph of Bucks Co. PA, son of Robert of Lancaster. Census Records: 1850: Nov. 19th, 1850, Adams township, Coshocton Co.

246	MHH notes: Her name must have been Louisa Ida McFarland. In the census records in 1850, 60, 70 it is recorded as Louisa J. However her gravestone is Ida Crowther McFarland.	McFarland, Louisa Ida (I25542)
247	MHH notes: It seems likely that Catherine was living with her son Lewis when she died. She is present in the 1860 census with Louis and wife Margaret and their daughter Octavia.	McFarland, Katherine (I24890)
248	MHH notes: The records that I have found for James McFarland, son of Robert McFarland consist of: Jefferson Co. TN 1800: Jan. James McFarland purchases 10 acres for $27. On Mill Creek from Wm. Rorex, adjacent Robert McFarland, part of the tract granted Robert but sold to Rorex. Witness Robert McF. and John McFarland. Vol. E, p. 29 Jefferson Co. 1803: Oct. 17, Robert McFarland deed to James McFarland, 150 acres for $50. On Outlaw's Mill Creek adj. Wm. Rorax, Robert McFarland, Charles Hodge, James McFarland. Vol. G, p. 17. Jefferson Co. Not sure if the next records in Greene Co. are for the same James McFarland. 1805: James McFarland buying 120 acres of land from Elijah Willoughby. Book 8, p. 92 Greene Co. TN (FHL #944411) 1809: James McFarland on tax list for Greene Co. in Capt Joseph Kirk's Co. 1815: Polly Willoughby (16) and Anne Willoughby (14) chose James McFarland as guardian. Also he is guardian to John and Eliz. Willoughby, minors under 14. (Greene County Tenn. Guardians, and Orphans Court Records, 1783-1870, by Sandra Kelton Houston, p. 107 ) Now, back in Jefferson Co. TN Page 99: #2394: James McFarland enters 16 acres in Jefferson County on the Sinking Fork of Long Creek adj. Benjamin McFarland Sr. Part of Cert No. 1018 for 50 acres issued 01 Aug 1815 to Samuel Nicholson. Entered 13 Feb 1821, James McFarland. (Not sure if this is the same James McFarland) He is mentioned in his father's will written in 1836. One researcher noted that when his father died in 1837, James was living in Carroll Co. GA according to the will record. It appears that he has a son born 1805 in TN. who married Elizabeth Harrison born in NC on Feb. 27, 1834 in Carroll Co. GA. They are present in the 1840 census in Carroll Co. Are they the same James and Elizabeth present in Murray County in the 1850 census?	McFarland, James (I25880)
249	MHH notes: Tombstone reads Robert Hill, died Feb 25, 1832. Age 51Y 4M 1D. He was found in Greene County census in 1830. Tombstone reads Robert Hill, died Feb 26, 1832. Age 81Y 4M 1D. This information came from the Rootsweb site of cemeteries of Hamblen Co. Tenn.	Hill, Robert (I25863)
250	MHH notes: I don't think he knew his birthdate. In the 1900 census with father Richard C. in Gilmer Co. GA he is listed as a son and his birthdate is Feb. 1887. In the 1910 census when he was living with his brother Henry B. Mc Farland in Gilmer Co. GA, he states his birthday as Oct. 1883. When he registered for the draft in 1917, his said his birthdate was Dec. 4, 1883. He was living in Blount Co. TN. Closest relation was Laura. In 1920 census he is Grover C. Mc Farland, 35, married to Laura 33, with 2 children A. Edith 11, and Fred 3. When he died in Knoxville TN, his birthdate was listed as Nov. 4, 1884. Death date as Jan. 29, 1932. On his death record, it does list his father as Richard McFarland and mother as Caroline Law.	McFarland, Grover Cleveland (I24775)
