| 4212 | Martha McFarlane McGhee Bell DAR #A008762 Martha McFarlane was born 1735 in Alamance County, North Carolina, and died September 20, 1820 in Randolph County, North Carolina. She married (1) John McGee abt. 1759 in Randolph County, North Carolina. She married (2) William Bell on May 06, 177 9. (In 1735 there was no Alamance Co. It would have been Edgecombe Co. in 1741, then in 1746 Granville Co., then in 1752 Orange Co.. Alamance Co. was created in 1849) MARTHA McFARLANE McGEE BELL, 1734-1820 Martha McFarlane was born in 1734 in Alamance County, North Carolina of Scottish Parents. At this time I do not have any information about her father or mother. Sometime around 1850 Martha Married John McGee who was born about 1716 and about 15 ye ars her senior. John McGee at his death in 1773 had seven plantations in North Carolina of 40,000 acres and seven children. Martha took over the managing of this large property at this time. Robert McGee in his paper written in 1992 quoted an artical written about Martha but he did not say from whom. Quoting: " After the death of her husband (John McGee), being the richest widow anywhere in the region, she was much sought after. . . she was 'a little haughty' but this probably orginated with those who could not succeed in gaining her affections. . . ' a good looking woman'. There was nothing about her that could be regarded as masculine and nothing in her deportment, ordinarily, that was at all inconsistent with the modesty and delicacy of her sex but she was a woman of strong mind, ardent in h er temperment and remarkably resolute in whatever she undertook. . . Strong in her attachments, and equally so in her dislikes; there could be no better friend, and no more undesirable enemy; but there was no woman in the country who sustained a b etter character, or was respected by all the better part of the community. High minded, conscious of her integrity, and inflexable in her adherence to what she believed to be right, she seems to fear nothing except her Maker, and to desire nothin g so much as the universal perseverance of peace and freedom, truth and righteousness." Even prior to the Revolutionary War Martha was noted for her courage and intelligence. Caruther's noted that she could instantly create appropriate responses to emergency situations. After John McGee died in the period before the Revolutionary Wa r Martha carried out his job. In one case she rode a horse, with only her memory of his talking of the places that he stopped along the way to guide her. Taking servents with wagons filled with deerskins, furs, flax-seed, and beeswax she set out t o trade for provisions for the plantations and supplies for the store. On the 400 mile winter journey to Petersburg and back she found her way through a heavy snow storm by relying on the knowledge that the largest, heaviedt limbs grew on the sout h side of the pines. The Revolutionary War actually started many years before official hostilities in savage partisan rivalry. The american Revolution was part regular and part guerilla warfare, part revolution and part civil war and in this war the Scotch-Irish wer e largly pitted against the british and their supporters the Tories. It was a savage war, as all wars are. It was said that Martha could not stand the sight or the mention of the name of a Tory and refused to intercede on behalf of those condemne d to die. During the war the widowed Martha associated with William Bell, a neighbor who lived near Sandy Creek. They were married on the 6th of May 1779 during the war and six years after John McGee's death. William Bell was a rich but childless widower wh o owned a grist mill on Deep River called Bell's Mill and 40,000 acres of land. Bell's Mill was located about a mile above the Deep River ford on the road from Greensburo to Ashburo at a point where Muddy Creek emptied into Deep River. It was situ ated just below a high beautiful knoll on which stood their house. In 1990 the chimney was still standing at the house site. Robert McGee stated in 1990 that Bell's mill was still standing a few years ago. The mill site in now under a lake and hig hway 220 crosses a new bridge over the area of the mill area, the State of North Carolina named the bridge 'Martha McGee Bell Bridge'. During the war, Tories burned their barn, wounded one of her sons, wounded and drove William Bell into hiding, and threatened to shoot the entire family or burn the house down with them in it. One day when Martha's aged father was visiting her, To ries came with the intention to kill the old man, they draw their swords and started to advance on him but instantaneously, Martha seized a broad-ax and raised it over her head threatening to bring it down on the head of one of the swordsmen, spea king in her Scottish accent with a sternness which was irrestible, " if one of ye touches 'em I'll split ye down with this ax. touch 'em if ye dare." They dared not, sheathing their swords they left the house. Martha McFarlane: Burial: September 1820, Welborn-Bell Cemitary.

Notes for Martha McFarlane: This information copyed from information compiled by Robert McGee in 1992 at Greensburo, North Carolina. He went to the public library in Greensburo and found a book by Helen Bowling McKnight entitled " My McGEE and JOYNER Familys, Patroits, Preac hers and Pioners". Robert made a photo copy of of this information. He also copied information from a book by Dr. Caruther's "Interesting Revolutionary Incidentsand Sketches of Character, Chiefly in the Old North state" this work devotes 36 page s to Martha McGee. It was written 36 years after her death but much of the information was obtained years before from people in her neighborhood, some who had known her for most of her life, and some who had known her for a short timeafter the Rev olutionary war.

| 4213 | MARY (MCFARLAND/MCFARLIN) MCCAIN (1793 -1852) (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, revised June 2019) Mary McFarland/McFarlin emmigrated from Ireland to America with her fa mily, probably in 1796, at the age of three. We know that she came wit h, at least, her mother Margery, four brothers and older sister Isabel la (*1 p 168). Her father John was with them at first in America. Th e immigrant McFarland family lived i n Pennsylvania for several (eight? ) years, before arriving in newly formed Coitsville, Ohio about 1803/ 4 when she was about ten. By then her father John had "been killed Eas t of the Mtns..." Mary spent the next ten years on her brother Alexander McFarland's fam ily farm south of the center of Coitsville, with her widowed mother an d older brother Alexander and his wife and children. Her brother Willi am married in 1812 and settled o n top of the hill on the Hazelton road , while her brother Andrew, in 1813, started his own family in the sou thern part of the town. On Feb 17,1814, Mary married Robert 'McCane' (McKane, McCain) in Ellsw orth, Trumbull co. Ohio. They had moved to his farm in the town of Ell sworth, fifteen miles to the southwest. She appears to be the female in the 1820 Ellsworth, Ohio census enumer ation, living in Robert McKane's household, with a son and two daughte rs, all under ten. In 1830, she's the female with four daughters unde r twenty and three sons under fifte en. Again, in 1840, the Ellsworth c ensus appears to show her with husband Robert, four boys and three gir ls, (the oldest daughter probably having married and moved out). Will iam's short biographical sketch states they had four sons and four da u ghters (*1 p 99). The last record found, to date, is in the 1850 Ellsworth, Ohio census . 1850 is the first census to give names, birth places and dates for e ach person in households. Mary McCain (sic) is now the head of the hou se, with a Seth McCain, (age 18, bo rn in Ohio), living on the farm wit h her. The farm is valued at $2,940, an average amount for a good far m in that area then. Importantly, evidence is recorded in this decenni al return that she was born in 'Ireland', probable proof of her McFar l and ancestry. She may have died July 4 1852? The family bible information about Mary's birth and death dates are fr om researcher Laura Zeh in 2015, of the Canfield, Ohio Historical Soci ety.

| 4220 | Mary Elizabeth Mahan was born in Liberty, Ohio December, 1844, the fif th child of Edward and Lydia (McFarland) Mahan. She grew up there on h er family's farm. May 14, 1868, she married George McKinney, of Youngstown township, an d they had one child, daughter Carrie, born February 25, 1872. They st ayed in Youngstown through at least 1900, when they are found living n ext to Carrie, her husband Willia m Hall and their first newborn, Eliza beth. In 1910 they are sharing the Hall's home in Coitsville and livin g on their own personal income. By 1920, Mary E. was widowed, and stil l living with Carrie and William, and in 1930 the situation was th e sa me. Mary Elizabeth (Mahan) McKinney of Coitsville, Ohio, corresponded wit h her cousin Margaret (Welles) McFarlin of Millburn, New Jersey in Ma y of 1934. Mary was almost ninety at the time and Margaret seventy. Th e two letters were hand copied by Ma rgaret's son Donald Welles McFarli n about 1960, and his brother Kirk McFarlin personally gave photocopie s to his nephew Peter F McFarlin in 1974. Mary was sharing some biographical information about their common ance stors; Margery Anderson McFarland, Caleb Baldwin, and Amos Loveland.

| 4221 | Mary Helen Haines notes Nancy Smith is William's first wife. I don't believe she had any children. I believe she died in the attempt, and that William's first child is Nancy E. McFarland, born 1859 to him and his second wife Martha Ann Trower Carter. The death date of 1855 attributed to his mother Nancy Smith, could be the death of his wife Nancy Smith. | Smith, Nancy (I29293)

| 4222 | Mary Helen Haines Notes about David McFarlin/McFarlane, weaver. I do not believe now that Archibald and Margaret Rodgers MacFarlane were his parents. I think that the reason we cannot find any birth or marriage records is that this family was Free Church, so the records are not there. Also very unusual is the lack of census records in Scotland in 1841. Maybe the name was spelled very differently. I have not seen the Johnston, Renfrewshire records, so cannot verify this birth location for the children. "He married Janet Millar in 1826 in Paisley, Renfrewshire. His children, up to 1844 were all born in Johnston, Renfrewshire before coming to Puslinch. When he arrived, John McFarlane, with his store on Brock Road, rented out his barn for David’s family to live and where David set up his weaving shop. David was a witness for John McFarlane’s 1848 will, and he is living in the same place in the 1851 census. His son David, born 1829, is in the same household working as a school teacher. By 1861 most of the family had moved to the United States, which had to be the worst timing to do so. Several sons were recruited to the military, one died in battle, and the remainder moved to Norfolk, Virginia where they can be found in the 1870 census. David is still listed as a weaver, living with son James, a carpenter, and their children. David died in 1878 and is buried in Norfolk. Son, David Jr., the school teacher, married Elizabeth Black in Puslinch, and stayed in Canada. They were present in the 1861 census, living in the same location that the family lived in 1851. A map was created in 1861 of the occupants of Puslinch township. The Red Star below marks the place where they lived, and it is the same place where Elizabeth Macfarlane patented 100 acres in 1866 (Green Star in concession map). I don’t know why it wasn’t done in her husband’s name. " This comes from the article published in the Loch Sloy on Puslinch Ontario McFarlanes. https://www.clanmacfarlane.org/public_html/index.php/genealogy/genealogical-histories/632-the-early-mcfarlane-settlers-of-puslinch-wellington-ontario.html | McFarlane, David DavM01 (I24056)

| 4223 | Mary Helen Haines notes on McElhenny with various spellings: This first note below is not totally correct. Ezekiel did not die in Drumore twp. because he surveyed land in York Co. in 1749. Other sources say he died in 1776. He did have a son Samuel, but there is a Samuel in York Co. in 1790. So, who is who? "A note I found in my Kirkptrick genealogy ; McElheny The McElhenny family is found in Argyleshire in Scotland where legend say they were of the Clan of Argyle until the transfer of lands and titles to the Campbell family.Four bothers Ezekiel,Robert,John and Alexander McElhenny came to Amreica in 1745 and settled in south-eastern Pennsylvania. Ezekiel, born in Scotland or Ireland settled in Drumore Twp.,Lancaster County Pa., about 1748 where he died. His wife Ester,family name unknown, died in 1799. They had seven children including Samuel McElhenny who married Rebecca Maize{Mayes} Samuel and Rebecca were parents of seven children including Sarah McElhenny b. 1747 married Benjamin Kirkpatrick our Rev. War ancestor. e-mail recieved from descendant at dorissink@yahoo.com 2012" Mary Helen Haines notes: Would like to know how Rebecca and Samuel met. There are McElhennys in the 1740s in Lancaster Co. where they warrant land. There is an Ezekial Macklehenny who warranted 20 acres in Drumore township, Lancaster County. There is a William on the same page in the warrant list for 40 acres in Little Britain. Then an Andrew with 100 acres in Drumore and Alexander with 300 acres in Derry. Some trees say that Samuel is the son of William and Agnes King McElhenny, however others say he is the son of Ezekial. There is a Samuel McIlhaney renting 120 acres of land in the 1759 tax list for Mount Joy, Lancaster Co. FHL #007857867, Roll 23, image 15/752. It could be that he married Rebecca and is "renting" the land, since it properly belongs to her children. By 1762 it appears that this Samuel McElhenny and wife Rebecca have moved to Cumberland County, where they reside from this point on. There are two Samuel McElhennys alive in 1790, one in York Co. (who appears to be the son of Ezekiel based on his wife's Esther's will in 1798) and the one who appears to be Rebecca's husband in Cumberland Co. The settlement in Mt. Joy township in York Co. is not far from the McFarland home in Donegal township, Lancaster Co. and there is some indication that there was some early interest in that area by John McFarland, son of Robert, and Andrew Mayes. Both men warranted land there, but did not take it up. Ezekiel Muckelhenny warranted 300 acres in Mount Joy township in York Co. in 1749. There were two surveys, one for 390 acres in 1752 and another for 347 acres in 1775. Patents were issued: in 1810 for 60 acres to Barbara and John Cluts, in 1836 288 acres to James McIlhenny.

One is in York Co. (see above) and the other, married to Rebecca is in Cumberland Co. The family appears to have moved to Cumberland Co. abt. 1761. This would be consistent with the move by John Wilkins to Carlisle in Cumberland Co. It appears that Rachel and Rebecca's families all followed Robert McFarland's earlier move. From Tax lists, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania: 1750, 1751, 1752, 1753, 1762, 1763, 1764, 1765, 1766, 1767 by Merri Lou Scribner Schaumann, 1998: In Hopewell Twn. in 1762 is a Samuel Makelhiny with 100 unw. p. 32 In 1764 it is Samuel McElhene with 100 unw. p. 64 In a 1778 list of taxable inhabitants of Cumberland Co. Samuel McIlhenny is listed in Newton township, along with a Samuel McIlhenny Jr. They appear in the census records in 1790 and 1793. In 1800 Samuel Sr. is missing from the census, but Widow McElheney is next to Samuel and Hugh. They also appear in the Big Spring Presbyterian Church of Newville records in 1789 in the listing of parishioners, and in the 1790 listing of pew holders is Samuel McElhenny and sons. However, they do not appear in the cemetery there. Don't know why, maybe just no stone anymore? | McElhenny, Samuel (I29683)

| 4224 | Mary Helen Haines notes. This William McFarlane, McFarland, is definitely not the son of John Stewart MacFarlane, as you can see in the tax lists below. He may well be the son of John, son of William, son of Duncan. Some researchers have William as being born in 1788 and dying in Christian Co. KY in May 1849 with a completely different set of descendants. However, this is a completely different family as proven by DNA tests of descendants of both familes. The family that appears in Christian Co. KY and Henry Co. TN are connected with the Robert McFarland line from Lancaster Co. PA, not the Duncan line from VA. William McFarland appears in the tax list for 1812 in Sullivan Co. TN. He married Rachel Farris there on March 15, 1811. There was a John McFarland in Sullivan Co. also who sold his land in 1812. It appears that William moved to Lee County VA from TN. I am not sure what year, but all his children claim VA as their birth place. Lee County tax lists exist from 1795 through 1814, and he is not present there. However there are no exant tax lists from 1815 to 1826. He does show up in 1828 list and from then on. On the microfilm below, he shows up in 1832 and appears for the last time in 1845. By 1847 all this family has left and is now in Carter Co.

| 4225 | Mary Helen Haines notes. Deeds supplied by Susan Pavlech I am making an assumption: One is that this William is the son of William and Keziah, and that he is the William Jr. in the 1790 census. Since it calls him William Jr. that would assume that William Sr. is alive. Where is he? Two: This William McFarland lived near Henry Horton, is the same man that married Henry's daughter Sarah and is the father of two children, William and James, mentioned in Henry Horton's will. 3 Aug 1778 Wm McFarland enters a claim to 400 acres land lying in Orange County on the east side of Flat River bounded on the west by Flat River aforesaid on the north by land of (can’t read) and on the south by a claim of Henry Horton includin g his improvement. From LDS land records Orange County familysearch.org If Wm. McF. Jr. was born in 1760, he would only be 18 yrs. old at this time. So, more than likely, it is his father who has patented the land. 15 Nov 1778 State land grants NC In 1779 tax list is William Mc Farling, Peter Mc Farling and Thomas Mc Farling. So, this would be the William who patents the land. Issued 13 mar 1780 entry no 466 William McFarling entered for 400 acres, issued for 370 acres, survery 13 Aug 177?. Peter McFarling & Thos McFarling SCC (Sworn Chain Carriers) on the east side of Flat River bounded on the west by Flat River aforesaid on the east by land o f Peter King on the north by land of John Brown and on the south by a claim of Henry Horton including his improvement. Peter and Thomas being the older sons of William. So, circumstantial evidence would lead to the assumption that this William is the younger brother to Peter and Thomas. In 1790 NC census in Orange is Keziah McFarlin, Thomas McFarlin and Wm. McFarlin Jr. on page 096. On page 094 is Walker McFarland. So, William McFarlin Sr. is alive, but missing? Is the William McFarlin in York Co. SC the missing father? William's patent neighbor is Henry Hunt. Henry Hunt moves to Wilson Co. TN before 1820. Henry Hunt married Ann Taylor. Henry died in 1825 in Wilson Co. TN where he left a will naming his children. One of them Jesse Hunt is the next door neighbor to the McFarlands in the 1850 and 1860 cen suses in Wilson Co. TN. I believe that William McFarland, who moved to Wilson Co. TN was living on the land grant in Orange Co. that abutted Henry Hunt, therefore, he was either the person who claimed the land, or he inherited the land from his namesake father. I don't know where he is in the 1800 and 1810 censuses. In 1820 he is in Orange Co. NC. He is over 45. 1 male under 10 (Robert), one male 10 to 16 (Ira), 2 females under 10, 2 females 10 to 16, one female 26 to 45, one over 45. Jesse McFarland is living next to him. In 1830 he is in Wilson Co. TN. He is bet. 60 and 70. Has 2 boys: one is 20 to 30, one is 15 to 20. This corresponds to Ira and Robert. There are 6 women. The oldest is 40 to 50, one 30 to 40, two are 20 to 30, one is 15 to 20, and one 10 to 15. ( Don't know where his wife is-has she died, or is this another younger wife?) In 1840 he is in Wilson Co. TN. He is bet. 70 and 80. He is living with 2 women 40 to 50 (Sibby and Christina prob.)and one woman 70 to 80 (Catherine). His son Robert is livng near, aged 30 to 40. On page with all the Hunts and Alford Canady. 1850 he is dead. Living in the household is Catherine McFarland, 80, Sibbie 53 and Christina 43, all born in NC. Jesse Hunt is next door, and Robert McFarland is a few doors down. Ira is in Wilson Co. according to the slave schedule, but his recor d cannot be found. OBJE: _TEXT Location: Orange Co.

| 4226 | Mary Helen Haines notes: 1802: Nov 3 Tn, Greene Co, Alexander McFarlane married Mary Crawford; bond by John Hall. Mary Crawford is the daughter of Isabella McFarland Crawford. She is the daugther of William McFarland. Also in 1795 Alexander McFarland (the son of Duncan, or his grandson {son of Alexander b. 1723}) in Greene Co. sells 200 acres on north side of Nolachucky to Wm. Hall Jr. He and his wife named Mary then move to Russell Co. VA in 1797, where they have purchased 250 acres from Richard Price. On the tax lists he is shown with an adult son who is taxed, and then in 1802 there is an Alexander McF. Sr. and a Jr. So, this 1780 Alexander is marrying his first cousin Mary. (or first cousin once removed). | Crawford, Mary (I30076)

There is no William McFarland in the Tennessee census in 1830 that fits. Some sources say he died Sept 10, 1825 in Texas (which would have been a part of Mexico at that time). Have no knowledge of this. However, if that is the case, then when his father wrote his will in 1836, he did not know that William was not alive. That seems very strange. Trees on Ancestry say he was married to Mary Kain McNutt, who was found in the 1850 census in Knox Co. living next to a Robert A. McNutt, age 30. Trees also list 3 children to William and Mary: Cathrine Kain McFarland 1815-1875; Margaret 1818-1859; Mary Jane 1820-1906. The 1850 census lists Mary with two girls: Ann E., born 1823, and Sarah G. born 1825. Letter to Mary T. Haines lists this information about the family: children: Katherine Kain married Robt.

| 4234 | Mary Helen Haines notes: 1850 census indicates he moved from NC to TN in 1825. So, he should be in the 1820 Orange Co. NC census as a 28 yr. old with wife, but no children. They could be living in her parent's household. They are not in the household of William who move s to Wilson Co. There is no proof that this is the son of William who moves to Wilson Co. TN. There is also a problem with the 1830 census record for a William in Granville Co., while the birth records here indicate a move in the 1820s. 1830 census in Granville Co. NC, South Regiment.

So , wife died, probably with childbirth of Sylvester. There is a conflict with the birth places of Amanda in the 1860 census which says she was born in NC. Fam. 148 is Erasmus and Celia. Fam. 157 is James Adcock and Celia, with Nancy Mcfarlen. I think this William is the brother to James who died abt. 1819, and therefore the uncle to Erasmus. 1860 census: Gibson Co.

| 4240 | Mary Helen Haines notes: 2017: This line is Y-DNA related to Robert McFarland who died in 1751 in Lancaster Co. PA. They carry the same BY3019 SNP that is carried by all male descendants of Robert. It is not known if that SNP goes back to earlier McFarlands at this time. It is not known definitely whose is Duncan's father; however, if I were to make a guess, it would be Joseph, born 1745, who married a female O'Gullion, brother to Duncan O'Gullion, a neighbor to Joseph and the Gullion's in the Reed Creek area. There is a Duncan McFarland in 1795 in Lee Co. VA tax list. He is not present after this. There is a Duncan McFarland in Grainger Co. TN in 1797, and 1803. In 1810 Duncan McFarlin is on the Knox Co. KY census next to George McFarlin. That George McFarland was married to Nancy Golden. Descendant of that marriage is autosomal connected to me, Mary Helen Haines of the line of Robert. It was assumed that this Duncan is the brother of Joseph, whose father is listed as James McFarland in Joseph's death certificate. Duncan named his first born son James. However, I now believe that he is a cousin and that James is the son of Robert McFarland, born 1730. | McFarland, Duncan BY28612 (I22901)

| 4241 | Mary Helen Haines notes: A decendant says that Daniel(1769-1840) also had a son named Alexander (1790 to 1849). He is the father of Nancy McFarland, born 1814 in Crawford Indiana who married Ohio Clay Comb in 1832. Came from CMW FB page. In Deed Book 1, Tazewell Co., p. 69, Daniel McFarlane of Cumberland Co. KY grants to James McFarlane of Russell Co. VA, in 1801 his portion. (This is the Wolf Creek land that William McFarland, his father, surveyed and then James, the executor of the estate, purchases the portions from the other children.) The following three paragraphs refer to another Daniel McFarland who hailed from Caswell Co. NC and then moved to White Co. TN There is a land grant made in 1805 to Daniel McFarland of 200 acres in Barren Co. KY on Trace Creek. (p. 373 of The Kentucky Land Grants, by Willard Rouse Jillson, 1971, Vol. I, Part I, Grants South of Green River). In the 1810 census Daniel McFarlin is living in Barren Co. KY : On male 45+, 1 male 10 thru 15, 1 male 16 thru 25, one female 45+, 3 slaves. So the son age 10-15, born 1795 to 1800 would be Robert probably. Not present in Barren Co. in 1820. However there is a Daniel Mcfarlin in Perry Co. Indiana in the 1820 census. He is listed with 3 males under 10, 1 male 10-15, and himself 45+. 1 female under 10 and 1 female 26-44. In 1830 Daniel Mcfarlin is in the Crawford Co. Indiana census. Here he is 60-69, oldest female 40-49. 2 males under 5, 3 males 5-9, 1 male 10-14, 1 male 15-19, 1 female under 5, one female 15-19. In 1840 there are three McFarlands on the same page 455 of the Crawford Co. census: a D McFarland, an E McFarland, and an H McFarland. None of the ages fit.

| 4242 | Mary Helen Haines notes: A descendant informed me that Eli Newman McFarland was the first Grand Master of the Masonic Lodge in Liberty. That lodge is still functioning today. Ah....I think I have it figured out. Eli Newman is named for his mother's brother. Isabella Henry is the daughter of John Henry of Haywood Co. NC. She married a Boyd before she married Jacob McFarland. Eli Newman Henry was born in 1792, and married Rebecca Cathey. Rebecca Cathey married a James McCormick in Pettis Co. MO in 1825. Eli Newman was born in 1813, and must have been named this in honor of her brother. A descendant informed me that Eli Newton McFarland was the first Grand Master of the Masonic Lodge in Liberty. That lodge is still functioning today. | McFarland, Eli Newman (I30610)

| 4243 | Mary Helen Haines notes: According to information I found from: http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/desrosiers/733/ The immigrant ancestor to our DeGuire family was Francois DeGuire Dit LaRose. He was born in 1641 in Aquitaine, France and was a weaver and farmer. He came to Canada in 1665 as a soldier. He married Marie Rose Colin in St. Ours, Quebec, Canada. He was given the nickname LaRose by the army and it was then passed down to his descendants. He died in 1699 in Montreal. Next in line is Jean Joseph DeGuire dit LaRose, born 1674 in Quebec, married to Marie Catherine Menard dit St. Onge in 1701, died 1719 in Montreal, Quebec. Next: Andre DeGuire dit LaRose, born 1692 (so how did that work with the marriage in 1701?), married Elizabeath Bourbonnis in Kaskaskia, Fayette, Illinois. Andre died in 1787 in Ste. Genevieve which was part of Spanish territory at that time. Andre and Elizabeth are parents of Andre DeGuire dit LaRose, born 1729 in Fayette, Illinois. Married to Marguerite Govereau in 1759 at Fort de Chartres, Illinois Territory. Andre died 1799 in Ste. Genevieve Andrew and Marguerite are parents ot Paul DeGuire, born 1766 in Ste Genevieve, married to Marianna Golliott Det Lachance in 1792 in Ste Genevieve. Paul died April 1824 in Fredericktown, Madison Co. MO. This is the Paul below. From the research of a descendant of Marianna Golliott Dit Lachance at http://mjgen.com/colyott/1Nicholas.html " In 1799, Ste. Genevieve had 949 people and St. Louis had 925. At that time Ste. Genevieve was the biggest trading post and people came from St. Louis to Ste. Genevieve to buy supplies. Also "in 1799 the inhabitants of Nouvelle Bourbon voluntarily made a patriotic war contribution to aid the King of Spain." These included Antoine Lachance, carpenter; Paul DeGuire, armorer; Pierre Chevalier, planter; Gabriel Lachance, planter; Joseph Lachance, carpenter. [History of Missouri, p. 367.] May 12, 1799, in the Spring right after Nicholas Sr. died, a group of 13 families--mostly Caillots and DeGuires--petitioned Don Zenon Trudeau (Lieutenant Colonel, Captain of the regiment stationed in Louisiana and Governor of the Western part of the Illinois) for land. They had first expressed interest in this particular land to Don Trudeau by Jan., 1798. "In 1800, Francois Valle explained to Lt. Governor Delassus that he did not know what title 3 residents of New Bourbon--Paul Deguire, Francois Lachance, and Jerome Matisse--had to land near Mine La Motte upon which they had built a cabin, 'but I can tell you that their ancestors were old settlers at this post.' Tradition, family name, and customary rights counted heavily in the Illinois Country." [Colonial Ste. Genevieve, p. 154.] Each man was granted 400 arpents of land (an arpent is about 4/5 of an acre) situated between the Saline River and Castor River (or Village Creek) in what in now Madison County, Missouri. These families moved there and began a settlement called St. Michael's. "Nicholas Calliot, the father of these men, had been a 'Knight of the Grand Cross of the Order of St. Michael' and this accounts for the name chosen for the new village." [History of Madison County, p. 10.] From Nov. 1811 to March 1812 the whole area was affected by a series of powerful earthquakes that changed the course of the Mississippi River in some places. One eyewitness on the Illinois side said, "the ground would shake and then rock and roll in long waves." He said in these long continued rollings, the tall timber would weave their tops together, interlock their branches, then part and fly back the other way, and when they did this "the blossom ends of the limbs would pop like whip lashes; and the ground was covered with broken stuff." Large areas of land sank and were filled with water. (pictures of quake effects.) [See also: The New Madrid Earthquakes] In 1814 flooding caused the original site of St. Michael's to be moved to higher ground and the name was changed to Fredericktown. [This area now is part of Madison Co, which was not formed until 1818, so records on them after their move will still be in Ste. Genevieve until 1818.] The group that moved to St. Michael's (later, renamed Fredericktown): 1. Nicholas Caillot II & Judith (Boyer) 2. Antoine Caillot & Felicite (D'Amour dit DeLouviere) 3. Gabriel Caillot & Marie Ann (D'Amour-DeLouviere) 4. Francois Caillot & Pelagie (DeGuire) - daughter of Andre DeGuire 5. Joseph Caillot & Julie (LaCroix) - granddaughter of Andre DeGuire 6. Michel Caillot & Elizabeth (Roussell) 7. Paul DeGuire & Marie Ann (Caillot) - son of Andre DeGuire 8. Pierre Chevallier & Pelagie (Caillot) 9. Andre DeGuire dit LaRose - father-in-law of Francois Caillot & Marie Ann Caillot, & grandfather-in-law of Joseph Caillot 10. Baptist DeGuire - son (or brother) of Andre 11. Gabriel Nicholl 12. Jerome Matis 13. Pierre Viriat In 1800 Spain ceded the land west of the Mississippi back to the French with formal possession made in 1802. It is interesting to note that after 40 years of Spanish rule, there was virtually no Spanish influence on the culture, customs and language of these people. They spoke a conglomerate dialect of French, Indian and English until about 1840 by which time the English had gradually overpowered, intermarried, and outnumbered them. In 1803 the Louisiana Territory was sold to the United States and the Lewis & Clark Expedition took place in 1804. When Capt. Amos Stoddard took possession of Upper Louisiana from the Spanish on Mar. 9, 1804, the French settlers were both bewildered and troubled by these changes. One report declares that the "older inhabitants took it sadly to heart." Once again they had been traded away by their own countrymen. Stoddard described the reaction of the Creoles to the deal as follows: "they seemed to feel as if they had been sold in open market, and by this means degraded..." Missouri Territory Land Claims mentioned two of Nicholas' sons: In 1803 "John B. Caillot" settled on the bayou 3-4 miles below the village in New Madrid County; and "Francois Caillot" settled in Jan., 1809 on the Big Marsh, Ste. Genevieve. (See: Early Settlers of Missouri as Taken from Land Claims in the Missouri Territory) A few sources: George Rogers Clark Adventure in the Illinois, by Seineke, 1981 The Story of Old Ste. Genevieve, by Franzwa, 1999 Colonial Ste. Genevieve, by Ekberg, 1996 History of Missouri, by Houck, 1908 History of Madison County, by H.C.

Genevieve...Madison...), 1998 Early Settlers of Missouri as Taken from Land Claims in the Missouri Territory, by Lowrie, 1986" my research: I found a Paul DeGuire, who I assume is Francois's father. He claimed 640 acres between east fork of St. Francis river and Castor Creek, county of St. Genevieve on March 26, 1813 -(now the county of Madison). Witnesses swore that Paul DeGuire had a sugar camp on this tract in 1804 and had made sugar every year to this time. Another witness said that Paul Deguire was born in this country, then the province of Upper Louisiana, and that the claimant built a cabin on the land in 1803, had a wife and four or five children at the time, and that one Charles L. Byrd came in and pretended to have a concession there and compelled the claimant to give up the same. Record book F, page 95 I found DeGuires with deed records in this area (part of the Louisiana territory owned by Spain) dating back to 1768. There was an Andre DeGuire in 1768 record, a Jean Baptiste DeGuire in 1781, and a dit. LaRose DeGuire in 1788. Those records are in the Ste. Genevieve Colonial Court Records, FHL #1986739. I also found these claims made for the Missouri Territory: In 33 N, Range 7E, which is St. Michael, which becomes Fredericktown in Madison County Francis DeGuire, on Jan. 24, 1837 for 156.38 acres Francis B. DeGuire, in 1850 for 47.5 acres Paul DeGuire in 1848 for 148.46 acres I assume the Francis DeGuire is our guy. The other two would be relatives. When our Frances Paul DeGuire moves to Texas, his relatives stay and are found in census records there. The last time I found F.P. DeGuire was in the 1860 census when he was living with Jasper Newton DeGuire in Beat 4, Fannin County. They are living next to J.P. Eaton, the family of James R. Eaton who marries Mollie Cox. I found a Paul DeGuire, who I assume is Francois's father. He claimed 640 acres between east fork of St. Francis river and Castor Creek, county of St. Genevieve on March 26, 1813 -(now the county of Madison). Witnesses swore that Paul DeGuire had a sugar camp on this tract in 1804 and had made sugar every year to this time.

Record book F, page 95 I found DeGuires with deed records in this area (part of the Louisiana territory owned by Spain) dating back to 1768. There was an Andre DeGuire in 1768 record, a Jean Baptiste DeGuire in 1781, and a dit. LaRose DeGuire in 1788. Those records are in the Ste. Genevieve Colonial Court Records, FHL #1986739. | DeGuire, Francois Paul (I29503)

| 4244 | Mary Helen Haines notes: According to Whitley Co. KY tax list from 1819 to 1850, James appears first in 1829. In 1835 he has 400 acres on the Lauren R. watercourse. He last appears with his 400 acres in 1843. In 1845 Sarah Mcfarland takes his place as the owner of the 400 acres in the tax list. However, in 1844 Sally McFarland shows up with 100 (maybe misread?) acres on Laurel R. so it may be that he died after the tax list was made in 1843 or early 44. | McFarland, James (I28151)

| 4245 | Mary Helen Haines notes: Alternative birth date: Feb. 25, 1764 according to Bible Record submitted by Lucille McFarland in 1989 Alternative death date: July 10, 1820 Bible record coming from Nancy Caroline McFarland says John was born Feb. 28, 1764, died July 10, 1820. Rebecca McFarland born April 26, 1770, died Sept. 14, 1816. 1784: "Petition of the People Setled Over french Broad river on the pidgen rivers" made April-June 1884 includes John Mcfarlad Sene, John Mcfarland, Samuel jeck, John Mcnute, along with Wm Willoughby, Jesse Evans, Andrew Evins, Alexander Montgomery, William Boyd, Silas George, and many others. 1788: another petition to the North Carolina Assembly asking for pre-emption status and relief from the depredations by Indians includes: Alex. Ward, George McNutt, then about 20 down in the list is Wm Bell, John McFarland, George McFarland, Alexr Rodgers, ? Campbell, and Samuel Jack all next to one another, Near is Benj McFarland, and David Staurt. It is not clear exactly where this place is, although it is most likely what becomes Cocke Co. TN judging from the records below, unless the borders were so fluid that this land was actually the North Carolina land that they finally get deeds to in the early 1800s. 1789: another petition is signed by Wm. Cathey, near Adam Lowery, James Lowery, Wm. Houston, John Finley, George Ewing. In 1790 the border between TN and NC was set and the records begin in Greene Co. TN and then Jefferson Co. when it was formed. By 1800 census the McFarlands are in Buncombe Co. NC census and all records appear there. Tennessee records: My ancestor James E. McFarland always listed his birth as Jefferson County Tennessee, and he was born in 1795. John Jr. appears in various records in the 1790s as he witnesses wills for the Wards. His children from John born in 1787 to John in 1795 list their birthplaces as Tennessee on 1850 censuses. 1796: John Ward, Co. of Jefferson, land on Big Pigeon, sons Cyrus, John, daug. Mary. John McFarland appt. executor, witness John McFarland, Jr., Matthew Bell. Inventory, Feb. 20th 1796. ( The wife of John Ward is considered to be Rachel McFarland, daughter of John McFarland Sr. John Ward is probably the brother of Alexander Ward. The Wards were neighbors in the Reed Creek area of VA, and the two girls Rachel and Mary probably married there before the move. However the Ward family also moved to the same area in TN as the McFarlands.) 1799: deed to Robert McFarland for 250 acres on Bent Creek, Vol. D, p. 304, wit. John McFarland. 1799: John McF. Jr. and Matthew Bell witness to will of Samuel Jack in Jefferson Co. Two of John Sr.'s sons married Jack girls. Benjamin McFarland married Ruth Buchanan Jack, July 31, 1788 in Greene Co. records, and George married Sally Jack in Jan. 5, 1793 in Greene Co. records. So, the question is....did the family move or did new lines get drawn that established the land they lived in became North Carolina? North Carolina Records: Buncombe County NC records: 1800 Census in Buncombe Co. NC has John McFarland Sr., George, Reuben, James, William, and John Jr. Land Records: Buncombe County, NC. Deed Book 4, p. 472. John McFarlin purchases 122 acres on the waters of the Pigeon River, the "flowery garden" for $62. from John Strothers on Oct. 22, 1799. (It is impossible to know which John purchased this acreage, although it would seem to be this one.) Deed Book 9, p. 320. John McF. Jr. buys 100 acres on the Pigeon from George McFarlin in Nov. 1804, the same 100 acres he had sold to him in 1802 in Book 7, p. 160. Deed Book 7, p. 557. John McFarland has a land grant from N.C. #1506 for 150 acres on the Pigeon River. on June 27, 1806. John McFarland served as a Senator for the State Legislature for North Carolina representing Buncombe Co. in 1808 according to A History of Buncombe County North Carolina, by F.A. Sondley, p. 801. Haywood Co. is formed from Buncombe Co. in 1808 at the request of the residents of this area, including John McFarland. He is found in early records as a grand jury member along with Jacob McFarland, Daniel Fleming, William Deaver, David McFarland, and George Cathey.In 1808 in the founding document of the county, John McFarland was named a commissioner in charge of erecting public buildings, etc. They laid the foundation at Mt. Prospect, which became Waynesville, the county seat. Haywood County celebrated their centennial by writing a county history. On page 12, "Higher up the river (Pigeon), on the East and West fork, settlements were made some years later than those lower down. Among those who first bought land on East Fork, the name of John McFarland, William Cathey, and Elijah Deaver, who moved there previous to 1808, are found." Descriptions of the land where they settled include: "The Pigeon River, as it winds its course among the verdant hills...It forms as beautiful a valley as can be found in North Carolina. Richland Creek, with its rippling, laughing waters...Jonathan's Creek, a meandering mountain torrent, rises among the peaks and winds through a beautiful valley with lofty mountains on either side..." In the first book of Haywood County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions (FHL 463089) John McFarland appears frequently. Because John McFarland, husband of Mary Kinder is presumed dead, and John McFarland, born 1787 is just coming of age, the records of John McFarland as Capt. and Esquire, and Justice, and Senator, must belong to John born 1764. He is referred to as Capt. John McFarland, and John McFarland, Esq. in the records of 1809. He is a Justice of the Peace along with people like Thomas Love, William Deaver, and John Dobson, and a State Senator representing Buncombe Co. in 1808, and Haywood in 1811, 1812, 1813, and 1814. Haywood County NC records: Minutes, County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions 1809-1815 for Haywood County: First Vol., p. 2 the opening session that takes place on the fourth Monday in March, 1809 at Mount Prospect, John McFarland Esq. is listed as one of the Justices of Peace. Again, it is hard to know which John McFarland, but I am assuming it is John with wife Rebecca due to his middle age. There is no separate designation to differentiate him from his father. He is referred to as Capt. John McFarland on various pages (p. 9, 21, and is in charge of a company of militia, and therefore collector of taxes in 1810. The McFarlands appear in court records as jurors, road overseers, justices. The last record is a reference to a deed from Jacob McFarland to Dan McDowell for 67 acres dated September 19, 1815.

The land is 240 acres and each brother/sister is paid for their part: the total divided by 8. This puts in question Rebecca McFarland. The only thing I can think is that since she and her husband had not moved to Missouri with the rest of the children, she was not a part of the original claim, therefore not to receive a part, but that seems odd.

| 4246 | Mary Helen Haines notes: Based on the DNA testing that many currently living descendants of this line have done (22 men have done the Big Y 700 as of 2024), Robert and his descendants are part of a large sub-group in the MacFarlane study. This group includes people from Scotland, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. Some in the group who have more recent ties to Scotland, trace their heritage back to the chief's line through the several branches in Scotland. Many in the group came to America by way of Northern Ireland. Because of DNA testing we now know that the McFarland lines in Knox, Whitley, Clinton, and Christian Counties in Kentucky, as well as Rockingham Co. NC that moved to Rutherford/Bedford Co. TN, all descend from this Robert. So, the SNP BY3019 defines the Robert line. BY3019 appeared about 1650 in northern Ireland, so it probably came about first in Robert's father. BY3019 is the "son" of BY7792, which goes back to Scotland from around 1550 AD, where descendants who carry that SNP, but not BY3019, lived in the area of Balmaha, which is the Buchanan Parish in Stirlingshire. Other lines that descend from BY7792 include the lines of John McFarland, b. 1750, d. abt. 1796 in Washington Co. PA; Thomas McFarlan, b. ca. 1780 in Ireland, whose descendants are in Australia; and Andrew McFarland b. 1757 in Ireland, died 1844 in Ohio. The family of James McF. who settled in Pennsboro twn. Cumberland Co. PA in the 1730s is not closely related to the BY3019 line. The connection goes back to the 1400s. Back in Time in Ireland : According to history, when King James I of England (James VI of Scotland) decided to settle plantations in northern Ireland, he chose 59 Scots, five of them nobles- and two of those five represented the Stewart family from Stirlingshire: the Duke of Lennox and his brother Lord D'Aubigny. The Duke of Lennox territory was in Donegal. While it was once believed that MacFarlanes came to Ulster with these nobles (pp. 94,95 of History of Clan MacFarlane by James MacFarlane, 1922, Glasgow), other research shows that Ludovic, the Duke of Lennox, did not settle anyone; but that the land he acquired was already settled with Scotsmen brought over in the 1580s as men at arms (Redshanks). (Barry McCain, A Short History of the Laggan Redshanks) In fact, the King's inspectors saw little evidence of plantation building or settlement in 1611; and in 1619 the Royal Inspector found the area fully inhabited but with no evidence that they were leaseholders. (Rev. George Hill, An Historical Account of the Plantation in Ulster....p. 505, 506) From the Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, vol. 36, "The Scotch Settlers in Raphoe, County Donegal, Ireland" by William M. Mervine, pp. 257 to 263. Dallas Public Library R 974.8005 P415, V. 36: The Duke of Lennox was granted 4000 acres and all undertakers who received grants promised to bring 48 men for each 2000 acre grant. The tenants would be given leases and be supplied with muskets and hand weapons. The Duke of Lennox was Ludovic Stuart. On the muster roll for 1630, under the "Lord Duke of Lynox undertaker of 4000 acres his men & armes" are listed a John mcffarlan with Sword and Callener, and a John mcffarlan with no weapon. Another grant was made to Sire James Conningham for 2000 acres, and serving under the Lady Conningham, his widow, is listed Dunkan mcffarlan, with a sword and snaphance. Pennsylvania: From The Scotch-Irish of Colonial Pennsylvania by Wayland F. Dunaway, 1979: The earliest settlers of Scotch Irish in Pennsylvania probably landed at Newcastle Delaware, rather than Philadelphia or Maryland. They came up the Susquehanna, and the first settlement in the county was made in 1714 along Chickies Creek. The Donegal Presbyterian Church was organized at Donegal Spring in 1719-1720. They acquired deeds to their land in the 1730s. From History of Lancaster County Pennsylvania, by Ellis and Evans, pub. in Philadelphia in 1883: P. 757, the Donegal township was organized in 1722, named for the county in northern Ireland where the pioneers settlers came from, and they located near Chikis Creek in the year 1716. Robert McFarland was on the tax list for East Donegal in 1722 (p. 759). P. 767: "Robert McFarland settled on the right bank of Little Chikis Creek, about one mile south of Mount Joy, in 1720. He died in 1750, and left the following named children: John, Joseph, Robert, Rachel, and Rebecca." (James was mistakenly left out of this account.) In 1726, Robert McFarland signed a petition along with his neighbors to allow a tavern to be established in their neighborhood because it is on a great road and the inhabitants of Donegal and Conestogoe do not have such an establishment (p. 778). That tavern petition provides another bit of proof about who were settlers in the area. Also it gives us a clue about eldest son John's age. The petition was in 1726, and John did not sign. However, he did sign another petition in 1729 to form a new county (Lancaster from Chester). The legal age for signing documents was 21, so John was born between 1706 and 1708. Judging from the names chosen by the inhabitants in Lancaster County that established the township called Donegal, it is likely that the Robert McFarland family came from County Donegal in northern Ireland, near the town of Raphoe. Raphoe was a parish with Presbyterian churches, however, there are no records that survive from the early 1700s in Northern Ireland. Another possibility is Mountjoy in Tyrone County, four miles north of Omagh. Raphoe and Mountjoy are only 20 miles away from each other in Ireland, and Robert's homestead in Pennsylvania was 1 mile from a town named Mount Joy. Mountjoy has several possible meanings. The title Lord Mountjoy was held by one of the greatest Stuart patriots and leader of the Ulster settlers. During the siege of Londonderry in 1689 it was a ship named Mountjoy who broke through the barriers to relieve the distressed people inside the city walls. The village of Mount Joy in Penn. claims it was named after the ship. Before Donegal was established in 1722, Robert and sons Robert and James were listed as inhabitants of this area. Therefore it is possible that Robert with wife Jennet had a brother James, who is not identified, and his father passed away before 1722. There supposedly is a Chester County record that lists a Robert McFarland, Indian trader, in 1719. I have not found that record personally, so cannot verify its accuracy. He is not listed as a trader in other records I have read. On the first tax lists in 1722 for Donegal township only one Robert is listed. Just recently discovered is a Joseph McFarland who was married to Catherine who died in 1750 in Cumberland Co. PA. No more is known, however he could be a brother of Robert who died in 1751. Robert McFarlan acquired legal title to 286 acres in Donegal township in 1739. His survey is found in patent Book A9, p. 110, 111. Below is the gist of the document: Pennsylvania Patent Book A9, p. 110, 111.

The last could be his son. In June 17, 1751 arrangements are made by all the children to transfer Robert Sr.' title to his son James. John was already in Virginia, Robert Jr. was living on 206 acres next to Robert Sr. Joseph was alive, but not in Lancaster Co. However, it is likely that the Joseph McFarland in Bucks Co. is the missing son. The tax list for 1751 lists Robert and James McFarland. Rebecca and Rachel are alive and married. Son James dies the next year and his wife Margaret marries Thomas Clingan and they end up living on the land it seems. Robert Jr. and his wife Esther sells his 206 acres to Ludwick Lyndemote in 1752, and move to Cumberland Co PA (now Franklin Co.). In the 1757 tax list, Thomas Clingan is next to Ludwick Lyndemote. Below is the transcription made by Mary Helen Haines of the will filed by Samuel Scott and Arthur Patterson, that reflected the desires expressed by Robert McFarland five years prior to this time in 1752. Robert McFarland, Sr. Will Book I, pp. 340-341, FHL microfilm #21358 Robert McFarland, deceased. Lancaster County. Samuel Scott and Arther Patterson both of the township of Rapho in the County of Lancaster came this day before me and made oath that Robert McFarland late of Donegal township in the said County deceased having in his lifetime about five years ago sent for these deponents to advise with and assist him in settling his affairs, being then in a sick and weak condition, he then requested this deponent Samuel Scott to write his will, and expressed himself to the said Samuel Scott and Arther Patterson, to this or the like effect, viz, That his son James had joined with him in taking up the land he lived upon and in the improving it, and in all the charges thereon and paying the propriotories, but that to save the charge of two pattents, the whole was taken in a pattent to him the said Robert and that he had not conveyed his son James’s moiety or half part to him, and on consulting with these deponents what should be done, they advised him not to divide the land, but by his will to give his moiety likewise to his said son James, and charge it with the payment of what he thought it was worth to his other children allowing to him his equal share, to which he consented. Being unwilling to have the tract divided, and thereupon desired this deponent Samuel Scott to proceed to draw his will accordingly and gave his moiety of the whole tract to his son James. Charged with yc payment of one hundred and fifty pounds to his other children and allowing twenty pounds to his son James as his share thereof, which, which said will was then drawn and duly executed in substance as above declared and these deponents further say that the said Robert Mcfarland recovered that indisposition, but never expressed any inclination to them to alter that will_ Sworn at Lancaster the 25th day of Saml Scott March 1752 Before Tho. Cookson Arthur Patterson Robert McFarland's burial site is not known. While one person listed it as being in the Presbyterian Donegal church burial grounds, the records for that site do not have him there. I checked with the person who put him there on Find-a-Grave, and found out that he had no factual reason for including him there. Concerning the parents of this Robert: Some sources believe that Robert and Jennet came from Scotland and have found some parish marriage records in Scotland that they link to Robert of Lancaster; however, no proof has been offered to connect our Robert's line to the Scottish Roberts. If there could be one birth in Scotland, say John's birth, that fit with Robert and Jennet, then a case could be made. However, that has not been found. These are the Scottish records for a Robert and a Jannet: These records are available through www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk which is a paid site. Robert MCFARLANE (M).................. M: 7 Nov 1708 Ba: M114992 Spouse: Jannet MCFARLANE Luss, Dunbarton, Scotland So: 1041998 Then there is a possible birth record for Robert: Robert MCFARLANE (M).................. C: 26 Jan 1680 Ba: C113972 Father: John MCFARLANE Tulliallan, Perth, Scotland So: 1040141 Mother: Jannet HORN However, a subsequent search of birth records for a John, born to these parents in the possible time frame to fit our family has shown nothing. The only child that shows up born to these parents is a Duncan McFarlane, born April 14, 1706 to Robert McFarlane and Jannet McFarlane of Luss, which appears to be the couple above that married in 1708. I looked also for a death record for Robert McFarlane from this area. There are MANY Robert McFarlanes that died in Scotland. The only Robert, son of John, that I found who died in the Dunbarton area was one Robert from Arrochar who died, or was buried Feb. 11, 1711. This search has left me more convinced that our line of Robert and Jannet came from Ireland, not Scotland. Also, an autobiography written by John Wilkins, son of John Wilkins and Rachel McFarland, he mentions his mother's family as being from Ireland. I also am not convinced that Jennet is the mother of all the children. Naming patterns really favor a Rachel.

When Robert's will was probated, Samuel Scott and Arthur Patterson were executors. These must be the child and son in law of Margaret.

| 4248 | Mary Helen Haines notes: Could the mother of these children be named Rachel and Jennet is a second wife? Following the naming patterns, a son would name his 2nd daughter after his mother, and a daughter would name her first daugther after her mother. So: John's 2nd daughter is named Rachel Rachel's 1st daughter is named Rachel Joseph only has one daughter that was alive at his death and she is named Rachel Robert's 2nd daughter is named Martha, so he does not fit Rebecca's 1st daughter is named Mary, and second daughter is named Rachel It is very odd that none of the children name any of their daughters Jennet, or Janet, or any variation | Jennet (I30082)

| 4249 | Mary Helen Haines notes: Descendant Mary Arlene Schreiber provided exact dates for John Jason McFarland Deaver. In Franklin Co. Missouri a Jahon McFarland Deaver married Mary Bennett Hughes on March 29, 1838. Both of Franklin Co. Married by V.P. Frank,, Minister of God. In the 1840 census a young couple, a J M Deaver is living next to John Deaver in Crawford Co. Mo. This Jahon, (referred to as Jason in other family trees) appears later as J M Deaver in the 1860 census in Amador County, California. Every census changes some part of the facts, but it appears that it is the same family in Crawford in 1840 and 1850, then in 1860 they are in California, and also in 1870. It appears that Jason stayed in Crawford and his father moved to Texas with the rest of the family between 1840 and 1850. In Franklin Co.

| 4250 | Mary Helen Haines notes: Family is found in Springfield township, Henry Co. Missouri in the 1850 and 1860 censuses. Not sure about the 1850, need to look again. Correspondence from a descendant said that proof connecting Samuel P. to James and Nancy Peters McFarland is in a land record: "I am sure that Samuel was the son of James M. who was born in North Carolina on 3 Feb 1799 (married to Nancy Peters). I have gleaned this from various trees that I have seen online and in speaking with other McFarlands. One McFarland friend has listed his proof : “Land Sale: sold land in Henry Co inherited from father, 6 Feb 1874, St. Clair Co., MO Sale record mentions James M. as his father, witnessed by another son, James P.” James M. had a son named Samuel P." I have not looked this up. | McFarland, Samuel P. (I28760)
