| 3251 | It is possible that Melvina who is mentioned in the will, is actually Isabella Melvina McFarland, that has been mistaken for Isabella H. and it could be Isabell M. Since there is no mention of Isabella H. in the probate for father Jesse, it must be assumed that they are the same, or that she died before Jesse. Other records show Isabella H. McFarland marrying John N. Horne, and that is correct, but not this one. Instead that Isabella is the daughter of Jesse Jackson McFarland, Jesse Sr's son and Sarah Jane Vance McFarland. Another possibility: In July 24, 1845 Malissa M. Mcfarland married Samuel C. Vance in St. Francois Co. In the 1850 census it shows this Samuel married to Isabella with child John H. Vance, 5. In the 1860 census it shows Samuel married to Melvina with child John H. age 15. Therefore, Melvina is really Isabella Melvina McFarland. | McFarland, Isabella Melvina (I30568)

| 3252 | It looks as if Fred T. McFarland was actually born October 10, 1883. At least that is what is recorded in the St. Louis, Missouri birth registry. It says he was born to Milton P. McFarland from Missouri, and mother was Lotta from New York. At the time of birth, they were living at 1317 N. 15th St. in St. Louis. This WW I record seems to be Fred's. Roster of the Men and Women who served in the Army or Naval Service (including the Marine Corps) of the United States or its Allies from the State of North Dakota in the World War, 1917-1918 Volume 3 Larkee to Rice Name: Fred Thomas McFarland Army #: 5,031 Registrant: no, over age Birth Place: St. Louis, Mo. Birth Date: 10 Nov 1883 Parent's Origin: of (nationality of parents not given) Occupation: carpenter Comment: enlisted in Company F, 2nd Infantry, North Dakota National Guard, at Carrington, on July 10, 1917; called into federal service, World War, on July 15, 1917; served in Company F, 2nd Infantry, North Dakota National Guard (116th Sanitary Train, 162nd Field Hospital), to June 13, 1918; Center Tank Corps No. 311, Army Postoffice No. 714, to Sept. 7, 1918; Company B, 344th Battalion, 304th Brigade Tank Corps, to discharge. Grade: Private 1st Class, July 9, 1918; overseas from Dec. 13, 1917, to Jan. 1, 1919; wounded, severely, Sept. 26, 1918; Engagements: Offensives: St. Mihiel; Meuse-Argonne. Discharged at Camp Dodge, Iowa. on March 12, 1919, as a Private 1st Class, Surgeon's Certificate of Disability, 20%. This means that he was out of the country and wounded at the time of his wife's death from tuberculosis on Feb. 2. 1919. It also looks like Fred T. is Fred Thomas McFarland, and he moved to North Dakota in 1917 and then appears in the Carrington, ND census in 1920 married to Alma. If this is the same Fred then he remarried very quickly. In 1930 he is living in San Francisco in a mission and is widowed he says, and then he died in Los Angeles, May 27, 1945 according to the California Death Index. That death index says that he was born Nov. 10, 1883 in MO. Died May 27, 1945 in Los Angeles and his mother's maiden name was Miller. This matches the record of Milton McFarland, boat captain. Notes from Neal McFarland's research: Fred McFarland Timeline-1919 Taken from Fred and Elma's birthdays and newspaper accounts. September 26, 1918 Fred is wounded in France and is hospitalized. October 10, 1918 Fred turns 35 years old. January 1, 1919 Fred returns to US in Newport News, VA. Sends a post card from there to a Mr. Thornhill in Carrington that is received on January 8th. Goes from Newport News to Army Hospital in Ft. Dodge, Iowa. January 21, 1919 Fred arrives in Carrington on furlough from hospital in Ft. Dodge. February 2, 1919 Maude dies March 12, 1919 Fred discharged from the Army and hospital. March 13 or 14, 1919 Fred back in Carrington. March 25, 1919 Elma turns 18 years old. (Is this when he proposed to Elma?) Week of May 18/24 Fred retires as police chief (Because of new job as railroad laborer?) June 16, 1919 Fred and Alma married in Moorhead, MN. June 17, 1919 Fred (and Elma) back in Carrington. October 10, 1919 Fred turns 36 years old. January 14, 1920 1920 Census reports Fred and Elma living in Carrington. | McFarland, Fred Thomas (I29401)

| 3253 | It looks like George also moved to Missouri with his first wife and was living in Johnson Co. MO, and when she died he returned to Jefferson County TN where he married Rebecca and lived out his life there. 1850 census is living with second wife Rebecca, Harriet, John T., Samuel, Mary, James, and his parents John age 70, and Jane age 66. | McFarland, George (I29006)
|
| 3254 | It seems as if George and Cordelia divorced and she remarried. In the 1860 census in Hamilton Co. TX, she is living with a man named Milton Lester, age 33, a stock raiser, born LA. In the Thomas is present in this house, listed as Thomas Lester. Next door is the Butler family...the same family that she and George were living with in the 1850 census. | Butler, Cordelia (I28681)
|
| 3255 | It seems that after the divorce, Harold went to South America. He returned to the U.S. , arriving New York on Nov. 1, 1948 on the S.S. Argentina. He was traveling with Alica McCrery, age 29, born in Salvador according to the ship's manifest. They list their address as 449 Glenrygen Rd., Dayton, Ohio. He died the next year. | McCrery, Harold E. (I223)

| 3256 | It seems that Harvey and Fred joined the military together and that Harvey died in Europe during the war. | McFarland, Harvey H. (I29462)

| 3276 | JAMES F MCGILL - OHIO SAWYER (ca 1790 to after 1850) (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, reviewed June 2019) James F McGill "... was the 2nd son of John McGill 1747-1834 ..." (*1) . Williams reports for Ellsworth, Ohio, that around 1807-08, "...Jame s McGill and family settled on section twelve...resided there severa l years, then sold and moved to Polan d..." (*2 p 99), and that this sa me James, during his 'several years', was chosen as a supervisor at th e first Ellsworth town election held April 2, 1810 (*2 p 101). This Ja mes would have been born at least by 1786 in order to be twenty-one , w ith a family, by 1808. A James McGill was taxed in Trumbull county, Ohio; in 1808 (mixed town ships), and then in 1809 Canfield township, a portion of which becam e a part of Ellsworth in 1810. These two early records are probably fo r the James who was the son of Ohi o pioneer, John McGill of Poland, Oh io. "James McGill had the first mill in Lowellville" (*2 p 69). His fathe r, John (grist) and brother Robert (saw) also ran mills there about th e same time. John had married Isabel McFarland around 1818(?). By 1820 , this James of Poland, along wit h his wife Isabel, might have been li ving with his parents, John and ?. I chose the 1818 marraige date sinc e James and Isabel are likely the parents of the girl under ten in hi s father John's household. This is circumstantial and needs to be fu rt her checked out with vital, church, or land records. However, William s (*2 p 168) also states that, "Isabel, the oldest (daughter), marrie d James McGill...", when he was writing about the widow Margery McFarl and's children in Coitsville, Ohi o, in his 'History of Trumbull and Ma honing Counties'. James McGill's' name doesn't appear in any of the 1830-1880 census lis ts for Poland, Ellsworth and other towns adjacent. In 1830, however, i t is possible that he, as the male aged 30-40 with wife and children , was again counted in his aging fat her John's household in Poland. By 1840, his father John McGill had died, and the family grist mill i n McGillsville, was forced to close due to the construction of the ne w canal. James' brothers William, Robert and John are all listed in Po land, but none had any other adult m ales in their households, so Jame s was not with any of them in 1840. James may have died or moved further away. However, a J F McGill and I sabel McGill were reported to be witnesses at their son James W McGill 's wedding to Emily Rumsey, in Espyville, Pennsylvania, in 1850 (*1) . This information is likely valid s ince a James McGill, carpenter, ag e 23, and Emily, age 18, are further identified in the 1850 Poland cen sus, living next to (young James' uncle?) William McGill. Then, in 186 0, James (cabinet maker) and Emeline (sic) McGill are listed again ba c k in the Espyville, Pennsylvania area. More evidence is needed about James F McGill; his father and mother, h is children, where he lived, what he did, and where he died.

| 3277 | James H. also is very likely not the father of James C. McFarlin who was born abt. 1827 in TN. That was the same year that James H. (Harvey, I found out) and Cecily Mitchell McFarland had their son Robert. The whole family left TN and went to Indiana by 1840. It was through two different death records that show James H. and Cicely Mitchell as parents of the sons in Indiana that we know they are the correct parents. It would not make sense for them to have left behind James C. who would have been under 10 years old. [E-mail from Mary Helen Haines CMW genealogy chair rec: 8 Jun 2017] (Research):James H. also is very likely not the father of James C. McFarlin who is claimed by our member Jeff #502. James C. McFarlin was born abt. 1827 in TN. That was the same year that James H. (Harvey, I found out) and Cecily Mitchell McFarland had their son Robert. The whole family left TN and went to Indiana by 1840.

| 3278 | James in in the 1850 Marion Co. Alabama census, age 54, born in North Carolina, married to Nancy, 54, South Carolina with the children born in Alabama, and Rachel White 55 from South Carolina. In 1860, It appears that James is in Texas, Cherokee Co. with his son T.S. Webster 31, but his wife is not with him. | Webster, James JaWe01 (I58)
|
| 3279 | James is not in Fannin County in 1860, however I found a James McFarlan living in Collin County, ages 28, born in Missouri, married to Mary, age 25, born in Illinois. The age and birthplace work, so this could be James. P. 95 fam. 1224, P.O. Farmersville. In the 1870 and 1880 censuses Mary McFarland from Illinois is living with a Jones family in Farmersville, so I presume her husband is dead. James must have died in the war, but I have no documentation other than passed down stories that some family members died. Julia Cunningham Stoddard said in 1958 in an interview with Lola McFarland Hill: "Uncle Jim went to the war in the company of my father, Lee Cunningham. They were nearly starved when they came upon a corn field; Jim ate too much and died before he got home." The National Archive record is for a J.R. McFarland, Private in Co. C, of the 22nd Cavalry, showing him on the Muster-in Roll at Ft. Washita Dec. 27, 1861. 5 ft. 10 in., 30 yrs. old, born in Missouri, hair black, eyes dark complexion dark, value of horse 180, value of rigging 25. The unit is called Taylor's Reg't Texas Mounted Rifles here. Then on the company Muster Role for January to June 1862, it shows him enlisted by J. W. Piner on Feb. 25, 1862 and is called the 1st Indian Reg't Texas Cavalry on this form. The logical conclusion is that James' full name is James Robert, which is repeated in the next generation. | McFarland, James R. (I29494)

| 3280 | James is present in 1784 in Caswell NC tax list. He is not listed with any land. Also there is John McFarland with 272 acres on Cobb, Daniel McFarland with 389 acres on Hico and Margaret McFarland (his widowed mother) with 794 acres. James is not in the 1800 Person Co. NC census with the rest of his brothers | McFarland, James H. (I18762)

| 3281 | James Macfarlane, who was born in County Tyrone, Ireland, and emigrated to America, landing in New York in 1723. Tradition, fortified by stronger evidence, says that his two brothers, Andrew and Robert, came to America with him, one going in the vicinity of Albany, N.Y., and the other going to Virginia, where MacFarlanes are numerous and "prominent in religi ous, political and military circles." | Macfarlane, Andrew (I13297)
|
| 3282 | JAMES MCFARLAND (1816 to after 1850) (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, update Oct 2018) Williams states that most of Alexander's seven sons and two daughter s "settled in this vicinity" (*1 p 168). This Jame's name and approxim ate birthdate was taken from his father's estate settlement. In March, 1833, the inventory of his father's estate states, "... Ale x, late of Poland..." and, later that, "...Goods set off to widow an d children; Sale held 16 Apr 1833... Alex of Coitsville, some of the b uyers were: Andrew, Margaret, Willia m, and Alexander McFarlane... part ial settlement, mentions cash paid to Alex. McF, Jr and Andrew McF ". Further, that; "... William McClelland appt guardian to James McF an d Samuel McF until 21 years; to Robert McF til 14 yrs; to Peggy McF ti l 12... all minor children and heirs of Alexr. McFarlane late of Coits ville. James and Samuel made their o wn choice..." (*2). In 1840 he i s apparently with his widow mother Margaret helping to run the home fa rm. In 1850 James is thirty-five and living in Coitsville still with his w idow mother Margaret McFarland and younger brother Robert. 1850 censu s noted that James could not read or write. James apparently was listed a second time at his place of work for "ir onmaster" Frederick Wilkes, in Poland, Ohio. There he is a clerk. No further information found.

| 3283 | James McFarland's birthdate in census records says born 1840. In the 1900 census in Falls City, Richardson Co. Nebraska, it says he came to US in 1848 and was naturalized in 1852.

| 3286 | James Peyton Madison, married to Mary Laws lived in Granville Co. NC, seems to have these children: Sarah (Sallie) Madison who married Henry McFarland in 1800 in Orange Co. Martha (Patsy) Madison who married Larkin McFarland the elder in 1803 Ann (Nancy) Madison who married James McFarland in 1809 Notes taken from on-line discussion of the Madison family: Peyton Madison THE RECORD OF PEYTON MADISON, SR. OF ORANGE CO., NC. We can only guess when Peyton Madison, Sr. was born. We can find no record of his age. How old he was would be of great help in determining who his father would have been. We think he was born i n Virginia in the late 1750's. His father is suspected to be John Madison. We judge that he must have been at least 21 years old in 1779 as he is listed as a tax payer, owning land in Orange Co., N. C. To pay taxes on land he must have owned the l and. A person had to be at least 21 years old to buy land back in 1750. Unfortunately there is no way to find out when he bought his land the early Deed Books and Court minutes were buried by the Orange County officials to prevent them from fallin g into the hands of the British soldiers during the Revolutionary War. When the British left the officials dug up the books and found they had all rotted. So all the records left of the period of Orange County are the tax records and many of thes e records are lost or missing. Library Book: Orange Co., NC Records (975.0565 R28b), Peyton Madison is witness to deed of George Laws, Sr. Book 2, pg 249. (Don't have date.) Peyton Madison, Sr., one of surveyors on June 22 1780 for two different Land Grants. Orange County, NC Land Entries 1778- 1795, (975.6565 R28p) page 172, #1308. June 21 1780. Payton Madison, Sr. enters 150 acres in Orange Co. on the waters of Flat River, has border with "Gravel Co. Line". Includes his improvement. Issued Payton Ma dison, June 1, 1781. Abstracts of Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, Orange Co., NC 1787- 1798. (975.6565 P28c) There is a tax list for 1782 that Peyton,Sr. had 260 acres of State Land in Granville County N.C. and 50 acres of unsurveyed land in Orange Co., N.C. Thi s land was described as adjoining the Granville and Orange County line. The lines of Granville and Orange Counties were changed on May 18, 1789. By the way, taxes were paid in the county where a person lived, no matter where the property was located in the 1700's. Peyton Madison, Sr. had previously received a land grant and an order had been made for this land, 150 acres, to be surveyed. T he record was recorded in Granville County, but the land was in Orange County. The document also had "Including his Improvements." written as a separate line. This means Peyton, Sr. was or had been living on the land, had built a house and possibl y other structures and was already engaged in making a living. There is no way to tell how long he had been there, but evidently, he had been there long enough to farm the land and determine he could make a living from it and wanted to claim it fo r himself. Since Peyton, Sr. lived there by himself for four years before his marriage, on February 20, 1785 to Elizabeth Bailey, he must have been trying to establish and settle a home before he started a family. From the old tax records we can learn a lo t about Peyton Madison, Sr. The tax list for 1801 indicates Peyton Madison, Sr. has died as his son William is paying taxes on the same amount of land as listed by Peyton Madison, Sr. for the past 10 tax lists. Peyton Madison, Sr. died in Aug of 1800. Now the fact that William Madison, his son is now paying taxes tells us two very important things. One, William was at least 16 years old (at that time in N.C., history, men were required to pay taxes beginning at age 16). And two, since William w as paying taxes and 16 years old that makes William the oldest son of Peyton Madison, Sr. His father was married in 1785.In Orange County court minutes for the May 29 term 1792, is an account as follows: "Administration of the estate of John is gr anted Peyton Madison in the sum of 80 pounds. And he enters with Isaac Hicks and George Laws, his securities. John Madison must be a brother of Peyton Madison, Sr. He is too old to be Peyton's son. The value of the estate would be 40 pounds, hal f the bond price or value. It is probably a horse and saddle. There is no record of a John Madison paying taxes in Granville or Orange Counties. The court minutes for the August and November terms have been lost so we have no record when Peyton tu rned in his administrators report. Peyton Madison, Sr's. estate settlement papers have been located in the Orange County minutes, in the May and August 1800 minutes. Also in the Orange County Estate Records Book, 1754- 1849 there is the original h and written administrator's report dated August 29, 1800. We are now sure that Peyton Madison Sr. died in August 1800. With a close look at the inventory, we can learn several things about Peyton, Sr. and his family. As there were "six spoons, kni ves and forks." This tells us there was or had been six people in the family. There was Peyton, Sr., his wife Elizabeth, William, Peyton, Jr. and two more children. We think one of these children was a son named Bailey Madison. In 1806 Granville C ounty tax list has Elizabeth Madison paying taxes on 105 acres of land. This indicated her husband is dead and she has received part of his land and that the estate has been settled. Women in 1806 could not buy or own land unless it had come to he r through inherited property. On the 1822, Granville Tax list there was a Bailey Madison, with no land but paying a pole tax. This means he was of voting age, 16. We can't think why anyone would name a son "Bailey", except to carry on a family nam e as many people do. His mother, we think would have been Elizabeth Bailey Madison. Bailey and Peyton Madison, Jr. were about the same age. When Peyton Madison, Sr. died in 1800 the Administrators bond was 500 pounds. They used the British monetary system back in 1800. This means the estate was worth 250 pounds. This inventory listed all household and farm property, but, no land is me ntioned. However, the land value is include in the amount of the bond. Judging from the items listed in the inventory, Peyton was not a rich man. It's not so much what he had, as what he doesn't have. For instance, there were no, brass or pewter o r silver or gold things, like plates, pitchers, bowls or candleholders, etc. If he had any brass candle holders or pewter bowls or a clock, he would be considered to be a "man of substance." The above items mark wealth. Was Peyton Madison, Jr. the son of Peyton, Sr.? Yes we have found the record. In Granville County Deed Book 9 page 99, dated November 7, 1839, Peyton Madison, Jr. sold to Redman Forsythe, 56 acres of land for $117.00 "descended by his father, Peyt on Madison, deceased. Peyton Madison, Jr., was probably born in 1787 or 1788. Peyton Madison, Jr. married Elizabeth Cary of Maryland. The date of the marriage is unknown. Elizabeth's father was Levin Cary. Peyton had land and lived near his father on or near the Orang e and Granville County line, Peyton and Elizabeth Cary Madison had a large family of twelve children as stated in the book of Lives of Christian Ministries, dated 1909. Their names were not listed. Four of his daughters are listed in the administr ators report in the settlement of his estate, by his son in-law Larry Burton. They were Martha, Elizabeth, Maria and Eliza. The names of the twelve children are listed later. By the way, Peyton Madison, Jr. is listed on the 1820 Granville County c ensus as being between 26 and 44 years old. Obviously, he is nearer 26 and born before 1800. I am not sure where this fits in but I feel I need to enter it here because of dates. Info given by John Thomas from internet. OBJE: _TEXT Location: Granville Co, NC | Madison, James Peyton (I17369)

| 3287 | James Robert is mentioned in his grandmother's will in 1872. No other heirs of the Tucker family are mentioned, so it must be presumed that M.A. Tucker is no longer alive. Then, when the estate was valued and divided, it was ruled that J.R. Tucker would receive a total of $1,295.66, as his portion of the estate--in other words, the portion that would have gone to his mother if she had been alive. | Tucker, James Robert (I30734)

| 3288 | JAMES WILLIAM MCGILL (1828 to after 1900) (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - draft of Jan 13, 2011) Information about James William McGill came to me first from Katrina M cGill (*1). In her 1973 letter she refers to her husband Ward's grandf ather; James W. McGill, as one of the children of James F McGill and I sabel McFarland, daughter of wido w Margery McFarland. Katrina further states that the marraige of James W. McGill to Emily R umsey in 1850 by Jacob McGranahan, took place in Espyville, Pennsylvan ia, and was witnessed by J. F. McGill, Isabel McGill and Harvey Rumse y (Emily's brother). If this inform ation is correct, and I have no pri mary evidence or vital records, then this would make a strong case fo r Isabel McFarland, born in Ireland, to have married a James F McGill. Some good evidence is often found in the census records when the infor mant gives information regarding the birthplace of their parents. Thi s was done somewhat first in 1870, with the question regarding whethe r the parents were foreign-born. How ever, the best information usuall y came first from the 1880 and 1900 censuses, when both parents' birth places were requested. This is probably about eighty per-cent reliable , since there could be errors from the informant-misleading or transc r iber-introducing the error. The 1870 census for James McGill hasn't been located yet, and the 188 0 census is very hard to read in the critical 'parents nativity' area . From what can be seen, it appears that James reports that his mothe r was born in Ohio, but it's very har d to discern. The 1900 census fin ds James in Claridon, Ohio, where he reports, again, that his mother w as born in Ohio. If there are any other children of James F McGill, it might be usefu l to 'follow' them to see what they report for their mother Isabel's b irth place.

| 3295 | JEMIMA MCFARLAND (ca 1820 to after 1882) (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, reviewed Oct 2018) Jemima's father, William McFarland, (son of John), "...reared a larg e family. Eleven children arrived at years of maturity. But one son i s living, Anderson, at Coitsville. Four of his daughters are living, v iz: Mrs Lydia Mahan, Liberty, Trumbul l county; Miss Jemima McFarlin, N iles; Mrs Matilda Price, Coitsville, and Mrs Lavina Harris, Youngstown ..." (*1 p 168). In the sketch for Elizabeth Loveland (*1 p 165), Will iams wrote, "...Elizabeth became the mother of six sons and six daugh t ers." All above written in 1881-1882. Jemima McFarland, named for her grandmother, Jemima Dickenson, was bor n in Coitsville, Ohio in early 1820. She grew up at the family farm o n the Hazelton road, the fourth of twelve children. She was counted i n the 1820, 1830, and 1840 censuse s in her father's household. In 1850 , she was still a singlewoman, age thirty, living at home. I could no t locate her in the 1860 and 1870 censuses. Jemima reappeared in the 1880 census, age fifty-eight, living in the v illage of Niles, near Youngstown, with the very prominent iron manufac turing family of James Ward Jr, and occupied there as a "nurse", likel y to care for his mother; Eliza (D ithridge) Ward, age seventy. This Wa rd family is extensively written about in Williams (*1 pp 241, 246). It seems that Jemima's 1880 reported age of 58 may be a bit low, as th e earlier census data indicate her birth to be in early 1820. It appears that Jemima did not marry. I lost track of Jemima after 188 0 (PFM). Vital records are needed here.
