| 251 | 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.

| 253 | 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. Court appointed John Wilson and Andrew Mays (married to her sister Rebecca) guardians of Mary, Rachel, and John Wilkins - children of John Wilkins, deceased,all above 14 years of age on 4 June 1751. p. 925 - 3 Sep 1751, Guardians of children of John Wilkins, deceased,asked to have the following to be added to the inventory which was omitted - a mare, plush side saddle, bed curtains, bed clothes, gun and kettle. p. 929 - 3 Dec 1751, Settling the account of Gordon Howard and Rachel,his wife, late Rachel Wilkins - balance of 107 pounds, 4 shillings, and 3pence. p, 951- 6 Mar 1753, Andrew Mays, who had been appointed guardian over four of the children, released his guardianship. 1754 -1759, p. 914 - 11 September 1754, John Wilkins, orphan son of John Wilkins, deceased, asked court for Mother Rachel Howard, widow, as his guardian and granted. Why did this happen as he was already 21? 1760-1763, Lancaster Co, PA, Orphan's Court, 1 Feb 1763, p. 222, Petition of John Kirkpatrick, intermarried with Jane Wilkins, daughter of John Wilkins, decd, asked the court to divide equally the tract of 300 acres in Donegal TWP, DB C-321 of 19 Dec 1751. John Wilson and Andrew Mays of Lancaster Co, guardian over, Mary, Rachel, John, and Jennet Wilkins,minors of John Wilkins, decd, for 125 pounds paid by Gordon Howard and wife, Rachel, administrator of John Wilkins, decd, acknowledged being settled as whole of respective shares of said four children of late father, John Wilkins, including appraisement of improvements on west side of Susquehanna River which said Rachel before her marriage to Gordon took a patent and sold, record 3 Mar 1752. 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. GORDON HOWARD (note Rachel, not the mother of his children) September 26, 1751. Whereas by an advertisement published in the weekly gazette of this province of Pennsylvania, bearing date the 15th day of August, in the year of our Lord 1751, I the subscriber, by the name of Gordon Howard, of Donnegall township, in the county of Lancaster, did certify to the publick, that Rachel my wife had elop'd from me, and for that reason did thereby forbid all persons to trust her on my account from the day of the date thereof. Now these are to certify, that I for special reasons have received my said wife into her former place of credit and esteem with me, and do hereby revoke the Prohibition in the said advertisement comprised, and do acknowledge myself liable from the date of this advertisement to her debts and contracts, as fully and amply as if the said recited advertisement had not been published. Dated the 12th of September, 1751.

| 254 | 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 (I29429)

| 255 | 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 (I30132)

| 256 | 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. Genevieve Co. 1860 census in Belleview township, Washington Co.

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. (I28531)

| 257 | 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 (I30345)

| 258 | Mary Helen Haines notes: Nothing is know about Jean. Her name is mentioned by McDowell in his paper "Mount Delight." | McFarland, Jean (I8575)
|
| 259 | 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 (I28242)
|
| 260 | 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 (I8609)
|
| 261 | 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. Outlaw selling 200 acres on North side of Nolichucky R. for 150 pounds, part of John Heritage (of New River in Dobbs Co. NC) patent of 640 acres.

Witness: Robert McFarland and Charles Hodges. Signed John McFarland. It could be that John sold his land in Tennessee and moved to KY shortly after. 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.

| 262 | Mary Helen Haines notes: So who is this person. Marriage? Lived where on any census? | McFarland, James (I9410)
|
| 263 | 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 (I29620)

| 264 | 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.

| 270 | 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 (I30967)

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.

| 272 | 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. | Montgomery, Samuel (I27871)

| 276 | 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.

| 277 | 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.

This was surveyed in 1775, and Evans was an assignee of John Crow. In 1776 Washington Co. was created. This appears in the Washington County Surveys in 1781.

(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.

| 279 | 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.

| 280 | 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.

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.

| 282 | 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.

| 283 | 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 (I6013)

| 284 | 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.

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.

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.

|
| 291 | 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 (I27560)
|
| 292 | MHH notes: In the 1860 census of Elizabeth McFarland, 46, appear two infants, 8 months old, William T. and Robert A. They are not in the 1870 census, so probably did not survive. | McFarland, William T (I8033)
|
| 293 | My guess is that William (b 1769) may have been a younger son of James (1). The birth dates certainly permit this with the Rev. Mr. James M'F having been born circa 1759.

| 296 | Notes found on Delilah Caroline Law on Ancestry tree: MargaretBoruff originally shared this to McFarland Family Tree In 2007 It is believed that Delila Caroline Law is related to R.C. McFarland's first wife. It appears from what records I have seen that cousin fits. Her mother is listed some places as Jane/Jennet and one place Jennetta. I was told that they were sisters, if they were ......they would have to be stepsisters according to the info that I have found. She is listed on one census as a servant in Richard's household in Ga. She has several children and after Mary dies she marries Richard. The story that I was told is that she came to help out in the home after her sister Mary became sick. She then started having children by Richard and then the story repeats when my grandmother, the third wife [Catherine Curtis], moves into the home. She has children by Richard and marries him after Caroline dies. Caroline is listed on one census as a "widow" so.... are all of her children Richard's or are some of them from her previous marriage? It appears from everything that I have seen that they are Richard's. I have always been told that Richard fathered about 22 children by 3 wives. I have been told that the research on this family caused many feuds among the researchers.....the descendants of the older children calling the descendants of the other children "bastards". My grandfather would never allow the word "bastard" to be spoken in his home and instilled that feeling in his older children if not the younger ones. Richard Clay McFarland, my grandfather, was the last child born to R.C. and his 3rd wife. Mable Thornton [researcher from Rockwood, Tn.] told me that after he was born his father passed away and Catherine was driven off the farm by the children of the first wife, Mary. According to the Ga. census she went to live and farm her brother's farm. According to my grandfather they went to live with Hardy Garren. Hardy Garren took Richard in and he moved to Calhoun, Ga. Two of the Garren girls married two of the McFarland boys and they bought the homeplace that my grandfather was evicted from. I also was told that my grandmother was given a "widows share" of the estate which was 1/3 and the other 2/3 went to some of the children. From member chkrdflag Half-Sisters: You may have already come to this conclusion, but in case you have not, here it is. Jennet Lambert(maiden name) married James Walker. They had 3 children, one of them being Mary Walker. After James died she married Anderson Law, and had 4 children, one of them being Delilah Caroline Law. So Mary Walker McFarland and Delilah Law McFarland were half sisters, sharing the same mother yet a different father. If you got any questions feel free to email me. I've no doubt that Mary got sick and help was needed, and that's what brought Delilah there. This extra wife and kids thing was common in those days and not looked upon as we do today. | Law, Delila Caroline (I27919)

| 297 | Notes on Hiram's career as a Cumberland Presbyterian minister: http://www.cumberland.org/hfcpc/minister/HunterHA.htm The subject of this brief biographical sketch was a son of James and Elizabeth Hunter. He was born on the thirteenth of August, 1800, in Campbell county, Virginia, and was a Scotch-Irish extraction. About the year 1804 his father removed with his family to Kentucky and settled in Russellville, Logan county. Here he was raised and educated. His father was in good circumstances and gave his son as good an education as the facilities of the country at that time would afford. He studies all the branches of an English education, and as his father intended him for the bar he became a pretty fair Latin scholar. The death of his father occurred in 1814, and having no special preference for his father's choice of a profession for him he asked his mother's permission to learn a trade and chose that of a saddler. At this trade he worked about two years, or till he made profession of religion in September, 1817, at Liberty meeting-house, about three miles from Russellville, at a Cumberland Presbyterian camp-meeting conducted by Rev. Messr. Wm. Harris and Alex. Chapman, assisted by a young licentiate named Buoy.... he at once engaged to study theology with Rev. Finis Ewing, preparatory to the work of the ministry. Upon his return home preparation was being made to carry out this engagement; but just as his clothes were ready and well packed, and the day appointed when he should start to Christian county, then the residence of Rev. Finis Ewing, a letter came from General Andrew Jackson, calling for a company of volunteers to go against the Seminole Indians, who had invaded some of the Southern States, and were destroying the lives and property of the citizens. Forthwith he addressed a letter to Rev. Finis Ewing setting forth the facts and asked his advice as to the propriety of his going on that expedition. Mr. Ewing answered at once and advised him to go. A very hasty preparation was now made for the departure of the company. Mr. Hunter joined it, and by the voice of the company served it as orderly sergeant. They left Russellville in January, 1818, reported at Nashville,... REV. HIRAM ABIFF HUNTER and his twin brother, Rev. Howlett Hunter, were born August 13, 1800, near Lynchburg, Virginia. They were the children of James Hunter and Elizabeth Howlett Hunter, and with their parents removed to Logan county, Kentucky, in 1804. Work upon a farm and in a saddler's shop occupied the time that was not spent in school, and thus the hands as well as the head were prepared for usefulness in after life. Hiram's first public act was to enlist in the war of 1812, but as his parents did not approve of the act he was permitted to return home. He was designed by his father for the law, and accordingly his education took that direction; but his conversion, at the age of seventeen, at a camp-meeting near Russellville, Ky., turned him at once toward the ministry. His father was dead, and his mother a widow living in Russellville with her children. Occasionally boarders were there attending school; but the young convert braved it all, set up the family altar, and conducted family worship... In 1839 he removed to Owensboro, Ky, where he remained as pastor of the church ten years, in 1844 marrying Emma M. Griffith, who is now his widow. In 1849 he removed to Uniontown, Pa. Here he was pastor of the church four years, then four years pastor in Philadelphia. In 1857 he took up his residence in Louisville, Ky., and remained pastor of the church there till 1861, when he became chaplain of the 28th Kentucky Volunteers. After some service in the field he was transferred to the hospitals at Louisville, and remained there till the close of the war. Since that time he has traveled and preached in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky until increasing age and failing health compelled him to give up regular work, but he still continued to preach occasionally until a short time before his death.
