Neil (Niel) MacFarlane was married to Isabella MacArthur 13 July 1814 on the Isle of Tiree. Neil was from the island of Iona and they returned to live there. Their first child Walter was born on Iona 14 May 1815 and the second child Cristy was al so born there 25 May 1817 as was John on 1 August 1819 (my gggrandfather). They were all christened in the kirk at a Bunessan, Isle of Mull.
Neil was known on Iona as "Niall a rudha" (Neil at the Point) and was one of the first to leave Iona for Canada in 1821. He settled first in Dalhousie Township, Lanark County, Ontario where he remained until 1835 before removing to Eldon Township , Victoria County. The reason he moved was because some members of his wife's MacArthur family had later settled there.

Most Ancestry.com trees that show his parents, show Rev. John and Elizabeth Stewart. I'm not convinced as that Neil would have been 19 when married to a woman 7 years his senior and naming pattern suggests his father was Walter. Another source sho w his DOB (without naming parents) as 1785 which fits better with the marriage date.-Ed.

Never married. When Catherine baptised [her son] James Shearer [MacFarlane], the church record shows that the father "was said by her to be James Shearer, First Concession, Elgin".

Neville Saunders (Florence Gertrude Mcfarlane's first husband) was born on 7 November 1911 and died in 1982. His mother was Hannah Patterson and his father was Lionel Saunders.
Two of Lionel's siblings names were Adel and Douglas. They originally lived in Kimberley South Africa
where Hannah Patterson was a matron in the local hospital. Lionel and maybe also his father was
involved in the mine in Kimberley (E.R.P.M Mine.) The Saunders family also immigrated from Scotland.

No records exist for 1790 in Orange Co. NC on Ancestry. However, the AGBI records that Keziah McFarlin was listed as the head of family in the first U.S. Census of 1790 and she was born around 1750. She is not present in 1800 census. If she was tr uly born in 1750, she could not be the mother of these three.

McFarland, Norman Wilson (I14189)
 
2717
Not much is known about Neil.

He was a medic on the hospital ship HS Maunganui during WW2. His rank was Corporal.

My memory of him (from the 1950's to 1970's) is that he was a clerical worker, often unemployed, and something of a recluse. He often helped Ian on the orchard at weekends and always joined Ian and family for Christmas.

After Ian died Neil moved to the Veterans Home in Levin where he died on 12 November 1996. His ashes were buried in the Returned Services Area of the Marsden Valley Cemetery, Stoke, Nelson on 15 November 1996 (RSA Area, Plot 342).

He never married. 
MacFarlane, Neil Roberton (I29582)
 
2718
Not sure about her. Included her from the 1860 census as Mary Ferrill, blind and deaf. 
McFarland, Mary (I8404)
 
2719
Not sure about his name. The transcription for the marriage says Bird Royal Cluck, but there are no Clucks in the 1960 census, only Clocks, and Clacks from Tennessee who live in Orangeville. 
Cluck, Bird Royal (I27683)
 
2720
Not sure about the birth date. His tombstone, which is broken, says he died March 5, 187_. Can't read. His census record says he was born abt. 1837 in Missouri. Tombstone says he was 37 years, 1 month and 16 days old when he died. 
Cox, Christopher C. (I27789)
 
2721
Not sure about this marriage. Either her birth date is wrong, or there are two Isabellas in Jefferson County. According to the marriage records #1859 Isabella McFarland married to Robert J. Wilson on Nov. 1, 1825. p. 39 of Marriages of Jefferson County, Tennessee 929.3768 924 
McFarland, Isabella Edgar (I25981)
 
2722
Not sure if the middle initial is a Y, L, or T. 
McFarland, John Long (I5784)
 
2723
Not sure if this is the John who marries Elizabeth Madison in 1798, nor sure how Elizabeth Madison is connected to the Madisons.

John is present in the 1810 census of Orange Co., age 26 to 45, with wife the same, and 5 children: 2 boys under 10, and 2 girls under 10 and 2 girls 10 to 16. According to this census, John would have been born 1785 to 1794, so this fits.

1820 census-Williamsport, Maury Co. TN

John McFarland age 26-45

1830 census- Madison Co. TN

McFarland, John (I14983)
 
2724
Not sure of the death date. Hard to tell from the tombstone whether this is a 5 or a 6. 
Cox, John Franklin (I27788)
 
2725
Not sure whose child she is, except that she was probably living in William's household before she married Alford Kenedy. She might be a child of one of William's sons who married either Sibba or Christian Kenedy.

NOTE: Information from James Michael JOHNSON, researcher. John McFarland had
daughter born about 1803/1804, and I am assuming this is her.

MARRIAGE: OHIO, Gallia County. Betsey McFarlin to John Paten 1 Sep 1835.

LINKS: It appears that John Patten probably was married twice. First to
Elizabeth McFarland, who must have died 1850-1860, and then to Malinda Roberts.

RESEARCHER-EMAIL: (2001) Pat Phillips &ltalpat@visuallink.com&gt Descent from
Jasper Patten, her great grandfather. Supplied much of the information on the
Patten family. She believes that John Patten must have either been married
twice, or that the marriage of John Paten and Betsey McFarland is antoehr
couple entirely. 
McFarland, Elizabeth (Betsy) (I24919)
 
2733
NOTE: Information from James Michael Johnson, researcher. John McFarland had
daughter born about 1816/1818, and I am assuming this is her.

MARRIAGE: OHIO, Gallia County. Polly McFarlin to John Miller. 13 Sep 1837.

LINKS-CENSUS: 1840 OHIO, Jackson Township, Bloomfield Township Page 49. There
are 2 John Millers in Jackson County, and 2 in Gallia County. The Oiler family
later is found in Bloomfield Township, Jackson county, so I am mentioning this
John Miller as a possible relation.

TO-DO-CONFLICT: Polly is usually the nickname for Mary, and since there is
listed two children, one Polly and one Mary, this needs to be confirmed.

ACTION: No record 1840/1850 Census Gallia County (Note: there is another John
Miller family in Walnut township).

CONFLICT-QUESTIONABLE LINK: THIS MARRIAGE TO JOHN MILLER IS PROBABLY INCORRECT
SINCE SON RILEY, ON 1880 CENSUS SAYS MOTHER BORN IN MASSACHUSETTS.

Notes and Queries, Vol. II, p. 120, notes about John Wilkins, son of John Wilkins Indian trader and wife Rachel McFarland. "John, b. in 1733; m. 1st, Mary; 2d Catharine. John Wilkins, Jr. became owner of several hundred acres of his father's estate, situated in Mount Joy township, on the north side of the Paxtang and Conestoga road, now owned by the Nisleys, about two miles west of Mount Joy. This land adjoined Gordon Howard, Samuel Smith and John Wilson. In 1761 he moved to Carlisle and became a storekeeper. John Wilson, who owned part of the Wilson tract, also moved to Carlisle, where he carried on carpentering. Colonel Wilkins moved to Pittsburgh, and was the ancestor of that branch of the family in that place."

John Wilkins. - John Wilkins, another son ot
Robert, took up several hundred acres of land
adjoining Gordon Howard's, now in Mount Joy
township, on which Nissley's mill is located. He
was one of the first persons who went with the
sheriff's posse to arrest Colonel Thomas Cresap,
but was himself afterward arrested by Cresap, who
took him to Annapolis, in Maryland, where he was
imprisoned. He traded with the Indians along
the Ohio, and died in 1741, leaving two children,
Rachel and John, the latter of whom was born in
Donegal, in 1733. John was also an Indian trader,
and removed to Carlisle in 1763, where he opened
a store in the Indian trade. He was appointed
county lieutenant for Cumberland county during
the War of the Revolution. In 1788 he removed
to Pittsburg, where he died in 1810.

There is a Memoir of John Wilkins Sr. 1733-1809, housed in the Spire Collection at Syracuse University, an autobiographical manuscript, part of the American Revolutionary War papers.

Notes from an e-mail from a descendant visiting the graveyard:
"Yesterday, we ventured again to Webbers Falls, slowed down and enjoyed a local carwash drive while all the cherokee, apache, and whites got on their cell phones to find that " Micfar land cemetery". They did give us accurate details on how to find DURDEE CRICK just across I 40.
Once at Mcfarland Cemetery I admired the handsome granite monument and was spellbound when I found Greatgranmas 1st husband Tribble Daniel tombstone and of course the blessed McFarlands amongst the lilac and nicely landscaped abode. "

From: http://greetingsfromgreencountry.blogspot.com/2010/09/day-2-of-rain.html
Pictures of the cemetery and her notes are here:
The pictures above and below are of a small family cemetery tucked back off the main gravel road in to Webbers Falls from our place. It is very near an overpass on I-40, although you cannot see it from the freeway. I've always wondered who was buried there, and more importantly, who kept it up, because it is always well mowed and weeded and kept looking so nice. So one day Mary and I stopped and took some pictures. I'm so glad we did. I still don't know who keeps it up, but assume it is some family member or someone they pay to do it. I'll type up what the large headstone says in case you can't read it all. See below.

Notes from Ancestry tree by Karen13472 about Rachel Ward.

Rachel (Ward) Reed was probably the daughter of Alexander and Mary (McFarland) Ward.No document was found that would definitively prove that relationship, however several documents exist that corroborate family lore as shown by the following timeline of events:
1791: "Ordered that a road be laid off from Neilys Ferry on French Broad River to ___Mill on Big Pigeon River and that Samuel Jack, John McFarland, Jno. Casey, Alex Rodgers,Alex ward, John Ward, Henry Nave, Thomas Keeny, Charles Adkins, Thomas Anderson,William Bell, and Robert Miller being first duly sworn, view and mark the same and report next court." [i]This area would be in present day Cocke County and indicates that the above men were, at least, neighbors.
1793: John McFarland witness to will of Alexander Ward, who lived on claim south of French Broad. Per his will, Alexander Ward has wife Mary, son David, daughters Phoebe, and Rachael [ii] (wife Mary is considered by many to be John McFarland's daughter Mary, born 1764.)
1796: Mary Ward marries Seth Moore on July 13th in Jefferson County, Tennessee. [iii] This is probably the widowed Mary (McFarland) Ward.

1796, Oct. 4: Seth Moore is named as one of the purchasers of Alexander Ward's property in the record of his estate sale.Seth Moore would have been Mary McFarland's husband for about 3 months.ii

1800: Seth Moore is listed on the census page with the McFarland family on the Morgan, Buncombe County, North Carolina census.Although the census was alphabetical, it shows that Seth Moore was living in the same district as the McFarland family.The children inSeth Moore's home are of an appropriate age to be the children of Alex and Mary(McFarland) Ward. [iv]

1801: Feb. 23. John McFarland of Buncombe purchases from Seth Moore of Buncombe 118 acres at the mouth of Beaverdam Creek, beginning at the bank of Pigeon River on line of McDowell's survey, for $75, paid in hand. Witness, Nathan Dever and Sam'l Rutherford. Signed Seth Moore. [v]

1807: DAVID WARD, a minor heir of ALEX. WARD-302 acres-Cocke County-on French Broad River beginning at a black oak corner to ALEXANDER ROGERS, with old conditional line, corner with WILLIAM HORN, conditional line with HORN, crossing road leading from Newport to mouth of Noley Chuckey-CC LEVY GIBSON and GEORGE SEWELL Surveyed February 4, 1807. [vi]

1809: Rachel Ward marries James Reed in Haywood County on Nov. 11.Haywood County was formed in 1809 from the same part of Buncombe County that Seth Moore and theMcFarlands were living in 1800.
1818: Seth Moore is listed with John McFarland and David Ward on the Ste Genevieve County, Missouri census taken October 18th. [vii]James Reed is not found on this census; however this does not preclude a familial relationship.Family tradition holds that James Reed and family were already in Cole County by 1818.As of Feb 2014, an 1818 census was not available for Cole County (nor Cooper County as Cole County was formed in 1820 from part of Cooper County.)
Family lore states that Rachel (Ward) Reed's parents were David Ward and an unknownMcFarland/McFarlin.Also that Margaret M (Moore) Robinson, who is buried in Reed Cemetery near Rachel, was Rachel's half-sister. [viii]Margaret's son George W Robinsonmarried Rachel's daughter Elizabeth Reed with their oldest son being named Seth Moore Robinson. [ix]
This lore in conjunction with the documents listed above form a list of circumstantial evidence that leads to the conclusion that Rachel (Ward) Reed was the daughter ofAlexander Ward and Mary McFarland.David Ward was Rachel's brother.(Alexander Wardalso had an uncle named David Ward who lived in Tazewell County, Virginia.)Mary (McFarland) Ward (Rachel's mother) married Seth Highlands Moore - middle name ofHighlands is found on an 1841 land patent - and they were the parents of Margaret M (Moore) Robinson which would make Margaret, Rachel's half-sister as family tradition has long held.
A closing note per a sketch written by Nell Turner: "Rachel Ward Reed was a woman of some refinement, education and culture who ran away from home as a young woman to marry her young lover, an Irish red head, James Reed."vii

Notes from descendant Rita Woodward said he disappeared 1901, foul play suspected.

He was living with his family in Haskell Co., TX in 1900. A daughter was born in 1902. His widow and the family were living in Jackson Co. Oklahoma in 1910.

In the 1910 census, Sarah says she has 11 children, 10 alive. She is living with Jack, 15, McKinley, 13, Ova 11, and Daisy, age 8.

Martha Mae never appeared in the census records with Newton and Sarah, because it appears they were in Oklahoma for the 1880 census. By 1900, Martha has married Glasscock and is living in Hunt Co. There appears to be another child, probably born after Martha Mae, possibly in Indian Territory as well, but that child is unknown.

Lt. John Macfarlane Proctor, Durham Light Infantry entered France theatre 21 June 1916. Applied for medals 6 Apr 1920. Entitled to British War Medal and Victory Medal.
Source Information: Ancestry.com. British Army WWI Medal Rolls Index Cards, 1914-1920 [database on-line].
Reg Number possibly NW/7/6382
The British War Medal 1914-1920, authorised in 1919, was awarded to eligible service personnel and civilians. The basic requirement for army personnel and civilians was that they either entered a theatre of war, or rendered approved service overseas between 5 August 1914 and 11 November 1918. The Victory Medal 1914-1919 was also authorised in 1919 and was awarded to all eligible personnel who served on the establishment of a unit in an operational theatre.

He is believed to have been at the Battle of the Somme. The opening day of the battle on 1 July 1916 saw the British Army suffer the worst one-day combat losses in its history, with 57,470 men becoming casualties. Multiple DLI Battalions were involved.
[During the Great War 37 Battalions were raised and 12,606 members of the regiment were killed or died of wounds.]

He returned to NZ in 1927 and was an accountant with the Ministry of Works. He tried to enlist again in 1939 but was not accepted on grounds of his age. He retired to Rotorua.
Source: Proctor Family papers (John Wilson, Feb 2010)

A John Maitland Proctor is recorded as having died in 1952, aged 80 (NZBDM 1952/27314). From John Wilson's information that he died in Rotorua, I checked the Rotorua Cemetery records and confirmed that he is buried there (died 25 Nov 1952, buried Block 6, RSA plot 33). The age fits, and as Maitland was John's grandmother's maiden name (Proctor side) it seems probable that whoever reported the death simply made an error. Interestingly, his headstone identifies him as J McF Proctor so at least the RSA got their facts right!
