| 3301 | 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.

| 3302 | 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. I have not been able to find him before the 1870 census when he was married to Martha Cecelia Roy. [E-mail from MHH rec: 20 Mar 2016] | McFarland, James (I15001)

| 3305 | 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)

| 3306 | 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)

| 3307 | 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.

| 3314 | 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.

| 3323 | JOHN A McFARLAND John A. McFarland, aged 69, died at his home, 1205 Offnere street, at 11:20 last night, after a long illness of hardening of arteries and heart trouble. Mr. McFarland had been ill since the middle of August and had been bedfast for the past three weeks. Mr. McFarland was born in Ashland,. Ky., December 25, 1852, the son of John and Hannah McFarland. He moved to Scioto county early in life, however, and spent most of his life here. For a good portion of his life he was a school teacher, but in later years was employed at the Peebles Brick plant as a timekeeper. Mr. McFarland was a member of the First Christian Church, and a splendid Christian gentleman, whose death will be mourned by a large number of friends. Mr. McFarland is survived by his widow, Mrs. Alice Goodrich McFarland and seven children, Mrs. Alice Puckett, Mrs. Geo. Dawn, Miss Violet McFarland, Miss Florence McFarland, and Charles McFarland of this city and Mrs. Everett Armiger of Marloboro, Md., and Mrs. Beatrice Lively of Hamilton, Oh.

| 3331 | John Macfarlane Coachman 1811 - 1846 The douce locality of Stirling's Old Town Cemetery seems an unlikely spot in which to find a connection with the infamous Butch Cassidy, but connection there is, albeit somewhat tenuous. In 1825, the custodian in Doune Castle was Daniel Sinclair. He brought up his family in the village, where one of his daughters married Robert Gillies. When in 1840 the first missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (the Mormons) arrived in Scotland, one of them, Robert Menzies, found himself in Doune. Such was Menzies' enthusiasm and persuasiveness that the entire Sinclair family (including the young Mrs Gillies) was converted to the new faith. A second Sinclair daughter married John Macfarlane; he died in Stirling and his widow emigrated with her children to the United States of America, home of Mormonism. Ten years later the Gillies family, including their 12-year-old daughter, also left for America and in due course this daughter became the wife of Maximillian Parker. Their son Robert Leroy Parker was born in Utah in 1866; he changed his name to Butch Cassidy and became renowned as a horse thief, cattle rustler, and bank robber. The date of his death is unknown. Descendants of Butch Cassidy's great- uncle, John Macfarlane, erected this stone. [http://www.oldtowncemetery.co.uk/history/macfarlane.html] | Macfarlane, John (I14552)

| 3335 | JOHN MCFARLAND (ca 1805 d aft 1840) (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, updated on Aug 4 2018) Williams (1882) states that most of Alexander's seven sons and two dau ghters "settled in this vicinity" (*1 p 168). This John's name and bir thdate were taken from the IGI. In March, 1833, the inventory of his father's estate states, "... Ale x, late of Poland..." and, later, "...Goods set off to widow and child ren; Sale held 16 Apr 1833; it says Alex of Coitsville.

(*2) John's name is not mentioned in his father's estate settlement (above) . This John may have died before his father Alexander's death in 1833 . Or, he may be the John McFarlane living in Poland near his brother A lexander McFarlane. If so, then h e was recently married and had a youn g daughter under five in 1840.

| 3336 | JOHN MCFARLAND/MCFARLIN (1817 to 1862) (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, revised Oct 2018) John McFarland, was born 24 March 1817, in Coitsville, Ohio. He appear s to be enumerated in his father William's household, both in 1820 an d 1830. But, in 1840, when he would be about twenty, he is not found w ith his father or listed as head o f his own household. It may be tha t he is with another household. There are Loveland's living very nea r by, where he may be living and working and where he appears to be li sted, by name, in 1850. In the 1850 Coitsville census, an apparently unmarried John McFarlan e was living on the David Loveland farm, very near to William McFarlan d's. This John McFarlane is likely the son of William and Elizabeth (L oveland) McFarland; his age is thirt y (ie, born in 1820, which fits th e 1830 enumeration for William's family), he appears to be single, wa s born in Ohio, and is a farmer, owning real estate valued at $1,500 . John would be the 1st cousin of David Loveland. About 1851 John McFarland married Sarah Moore who was born in Ireland . She was the daughter of James Moore and Jane Thompson Moore. Two years later, in 1853, John McFarland's father William died (*2). T he "John McFarlin" listed on the bond was likely this son (b1819), an d also likely the "Jno"(sic) present at the vendue with an Andrew, lik ely his brother. By 1860, John McFarland and Sarah had a substantial farm, valued at $1 0,000, near the coal-mining area of Thorn Hill in northwest Coitsville . He and his wife have three children with them at the time; James F M cFarland age 8, Candis McFarland a ge 6, and Sarah J McFarland age 4. A t this time, John had prospered enough to have a servant living in hi s household; James Alexander age 19, born in Ohio. By 1870, John had died (1862) and his widow Sarah McFarland is found l iving in the town of Brookfield, Ohio, two towns to the north of Coits ville. Sarah has with her the same three children as ten years earlier , James, Candis and Sarah. Again, in 1880, widow Sarah McFarland is located in Brookfield now wit h her son James McFarland and a granddaughter, Candis Clark.

| 3340 | John Menzies Macfarlane was born in 1833 in Stirling Scotland. His father died when he was thirteen. When he was sixteen he moved with his mother, brother and sister to Glasgow, and in 1852 came with his family to Utah. He moved to Cedar City in 1853. In both the Sessions Settlement and in Cedar City he taught school. Where he gained the education to, in turn, be an educator is not known. He married Ann Chatterley December 30, 1854, and they had ten children, the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth dying as young children. As the tenth, William, had only one child and no grandchildren, those of us descended from Ann are from the other four children Isaac, Charlotte Ann (Annie), Annabella (Bella), or John Morton. I won't say much about John M's wives, but that would be a good topic for another reunion-the wives of John and Daniel Macfarlane and the Husband of Ann. John M. married Agnes Eliza (Tillie) Heyborne on October 9, 1866. They had nine children, eight of whom lived to adulthood, and six of whom had offspring. Those of us descended from Tillie, are from Sarah Ann, Agnes Eliza (Aggie), Catherine Heyborne (Caddie), Jennie Belle, Menzies John (Bud), or Erastus Heyborne. In 1868, John M. took his wives to St. George, and later, in 1879 married Elizabeth Jane (Lizzie) Adams. They had seven children, five of whom reached adulthood and four of whom had offspring, Emma Adams (Em), Samuel Alexander (Alec), Elizabeth Adams (Bess), and Hubert Adams. John M. was a farmer, teacher, surveyor, attorney, and judge. He led the local choir in Cedar City and later in St. George. He was a prominent early settler in Cedar City and in St. George. If his crops hadn't failed the year he tried to set up shop in Toquerville, he might have been a prominent member of that community. He was the first postmaster of Toquerville, and the first postmaster south of Cedar City. He surveyed many sites around southern Utah and Eastern Nevada. He was a defense attorney in the trial of John D. Lee. He was a County Prosecuting Attorney and District Attorney. In 1879 he was elected as probate judge, which was a county judge in the Territory of Utah. He served there until 1883, when he resigned due to the fact that he couldn't carry out his duties because he was in hiding often from federal marshals looking for polygamists. He left with his third wife Lizzie for Mexico to avoid arrest, and lived an interesting life in Mexico for several years. His second wife Tillie, and some of her children joined him in Mexico in 1891. In 1892 he returned alone to St. George to get some medical attention, and died there, June 4, from heart failure as a complication of diabetes. He is best known for composing two hymns that are still sung in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He wrote both words and music to "Far, Far Way on Judea's Plains", and he composed the music to "Dearest Children", lyrics written by his associate Charles L. Walker. We have a lot to be proud of in John Menzies Macfarlane. As Wayland put it, "He had ambition, intelligence and grace, and to quote Uncle Henry Mathis, 'He was the most talented man I ever knew.' Or as Ann, his wife, put it, ' E was the Cock O' the Walk, E was a Crackerjack.'" [ http://macfarlane-sinclair.org/index.php?page=5 ] | Macfarlane, John Menzies (I14548)

He was made a Leiutenant. All this information from her grandfather who did research about 1930. RESEARCHER: (1999) Florence L. PARMAN Mt. Juliet, TN. HISTORY: John McFarland arrived in Charleston, SC about 1765. His brother Thomas joined him in this country. RESEARCHER-EMAIL: (2000) James McFarland NOTES: (FROM JAMES MCFARLAND) John Porter McFarland's son Ben Menees McFarland( b April 4 1803, d July 19 1878 Wilson C. TN) left a manuscript that tells the McFarland family history to John and James Sommers (his Somers Grandchildren). The second paragraph begins; "Our oldest ancestor, that I know of traditionally was Duncan McFarland who was born near Edinburgh, Scotland. He was the father of Walter and Tabby, and Tabby was the mother of the famous Rob McGregor. Walter had a son that he called Arthur who went to ireland and there married Elizabeth Porter, sister of Commodore Porter of Revolutionary fame." Ben Menees continues; "The fruit of this union was a girl whose name I have forgotten and three boys - Alexander , Thomas and John(My GGGrandfather John Porter McFarland)." ***( Note: My aunt said that they always said "Alexander the one they called Arthur".)**** _______There were two John McFarlands that were listed in most early Tennessee documentation (North Carolina till 1796). One was John Porter McFarland, listed in Claytons History of Davidson County Tennessee 1780-1880 p 58. "Names of persons who were in Davidson county in 1787, being the first year in which the tax of land and polls was taken---" The second lived in Knoxville. In fact there is a park in the older part of town that is named after him. He is mentioned in many of Nolechukie Jacks(Gov. Severe)papers. _______John Porter McFarland is listed in "Membership Roster and Soldiers the Tennessee Society of the DAR 1970-1984 Vol 3 p 505 gives his birth date as 1750. His wife and 11 children are listed, and who they married. Where this document gets confusing is that his son Benjamin Menees m Susy Young but it fails to say that Susy m 1847 is his second wife, His first was Penia Dun who died 1845. Susy and Ben had a son Ben Franklin McFarland who is my Grandfather.

| 3345 | John Shaw Neilson (22 February 1872 – 12 May 1942), was an Australian poet. Slightly built, for most of his life John Shaw Neilson worked as a labourer, fruit-picking, clearing scrub, navvying and working in quarries, and, after 1928, working a s a messenger with the Country Roads Board in Melbourne. Largely untrained and only basically educated, Neilson became known as one of Australia's finest lyric poets, who wrote a great deal about the natural world, and the beauty in it. Neilson was born in Penola, South Australia of purely Scottish ancestry. His grandparents were John Neilson and Jessie MacFarlane of Cupar, Neil Mackinnon of Skye, and Margaret Stuart of Greenock. His mother, Margaret MacKinnon, was born at Dartmo or, Victoria, his father, John Neilson, at Stranraer, Scotland, in 1844. John Neilson senior was brought to South Australia at nine years of age, had practically no education and was a shepherd, shearer, and small farmer all his life. He never had enough money to get good land, and like other pioneers he fought drough t and rabbits and other pests, receiving little reward for his labours. He died in 1922 having lived just long enough to see his son accepted as an Australian poet. He himself had written verses; one song, Waiting for the Rain, was popular in th e shearing sheds, and in January 1893 he wrote the senior prize poem, The Pioneers, for the literary competition held by the Australian Natives Association. In 1938 a small collection of his poems, The Men of the Fifties, was published by the Hawt horn Press at Melbourne. John Shaw Neilson had little more education than his father. When about eight years old he was for 15 months at the state school at Penola, but he had to leave in 1881 when the family removed to Minimay in the south-west Wimmera in Victoria. Ther e was no school at Minimay then, but four years later one was opened and Neilson attended for another 15 months. There was, however, a Bible and a tattered copy of Burns's poems in the house, and when at the age of 15 a copy of Hood's poems came i n his way, Neilson read them all with great joy. Driven out by drought, Neilson's father took his family to Nhill in 1889, and was employed as a farm worker and on the roads. His son soon after began to write verses of which some appeared in the l ocal press and one in The Australasian in Melbourne. In January 1893 John Shaw Neilson won the junior prize for a poem at the Australian Natives Association's competition, in the same year that his father won the senior prize with a better poem. In 1895 he went with his father to Sea Lake, and abou t a year later had some verses accepted by The Bulletin in Sydney. But his health broke down and he did little writing for about four years. He was contributing to the Bulletin between 1901 and 1906, and about 1908 some of his verses, mostly of a light or popular kind, were accepted by Randolph Bedford for the Clarion. From about 1906 Neilson's sight began to fail, for the rest of hi s life he was able to do little reading, and most of his work was dictated. When the Bookfellow was revived in 1911 Neilson was a contributor, and Alfred George Stephens the editor, began collecting the best of his poems, intending to issue them in a volume under the title of Green Days and Cherries; Fred John's Annual fo r 1913 included Neilson as the author of this volume. It was, however, delayed; the war delayed it further; and it was not issued until 1919, when the title Heart of Spring was adopted. It had a too laudatory preface by Stephens which stated tha t some of the work was "unsurpassed in the range of English lyrics". In spite of this it was well received, and in 1923, with the help of Mrs Louise Dyer, another volume, Ballad and Lyrical Poems, was published. This included nearly all the work i n the first volume with some 20 additional lyrics. About this time Neilson visited Melbourne and met many of the literary people of the period. Now in his 50s and not a robust man he was beginning to feel the strain of physical work. "I don't mind some kinds of pick and shovel work," he said to Percival Serle, "but when I have to throw heavy stuff over my shoulder it gives me rather a wrench." He may have been referring to the time he spent in the Heyfield area, where he wrot e several poems and helped in the construction of the Lake Glenmaggie weir wall. In 1925 and again in 1926, Alfred Stephens suggested in newspaper articles that more suitable employment should be found for him. The difficulty was that Neilson's poor eyesight unfitted him for most kinds of work. However, a movement began in Mel bourne to help him and he was granted a small literary pension; and eventually in 1928 a position was found for him as an attendant in the office of the Victorian Country Roads Board. This office was in the Exhibition Gardens, Melbourne, and in th ese pleasant surroundings Neilson spent his days until near the end of his life. A volume, New Poems, was published in 1927, and in 1934 his Collected Poems appeared. Four years later another small volume was published, Beauty Imposes. A number of John Shaw Neilson's poems were set to music by composers such as Margaret Suther land, Alfred Hill, Cathie O'Sullivan and Darryl Emmerson www.darrylemmerson.com. The play, The Pathfinder, based on the life and writings of Neilson, enjoyed much success in the 1980s, toured twice, was produced for radio by the Australian Broadca sting Commission, and published by Currency Press, Sydney, in 1987. In 2012 an updated and expanded compilation of his Collected Poems, edited by Margaret Roberts, was published by University of Western Australia Press. Neilson retired from the Country Roads Board early in 1941, and went to Queensland to stay with friends. His literary pension was now increased to £2 a week. Soon after his return to Melbourne his health began to fail, and he died at a private hos pital on 12 May 1942. He was buried in the Footscray Cemetery near Melbourne.

| 3348 | John Wesley McFarling was in the Civil War. He was shot in the left hand and lost all of his forefinger and half of his middle finger. Uncle Ivan said that Grandpa McFarling used to sing, "Old Black Joe", his favorite song. He also played the guitar while Uncle Jim McFarling played the fiddle. Uncle Ivan remembered that Grandpa was a good-natured man. I asked Uncle Ivan why the variation in the spelling of McFarland/McFarling. All he told me was that there was a "rift" in the family!

| 3350 | John, fiar of Arrochar (-1705): son of Andrew, died before his father but he had exercised the powers of chief from about 1685. He was appointed Colonel of a regiment of foot in the army of William & Mary c1689. John built Inverioch House near Tarbet overlooking Loch Long in 1697. A portion of the house still stands as the rear of the present house now known as the Claymore Hotel. Unfortunately for the family he was an investor in the Darien Company and lost 200 pounds in that venture that led to the ruin of many Scottish families. He married, first, Agnes, daughter of Sir Hugh Wallace of Woolmot. They had one son, Andrew, who died young. He married, secondly, Helen, daughter of Robert 2nd Viscount of Arbuthnot, by whom he had four sons and one daughter: Walter, his heir; Robert, who died young; William, who succeeded his brother as chief; Alexander; and Catherine, who died young. Alexander became a trade merchant in Jamaica, where he amassed a considerable fortune. He died unmarried in 1755, and left a large estate to his brothers, Walter and William (the latter a physician in Edinburgh). He was a member of the legislative assembly in Jamaica and was one of the best mathematicians of his time. In his will, he left his valuable astronomical instruments to the University of Glasgow, where he had been educated. An observatory later erected at the University was named in his honor, the Macfarlane Observatory. John died on 13 May 1705, and was succeeded by Walter, his eldest son.
