| 4525 | MELISSA (HARD) MCFARLIN (1803 to 1885) (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, reviewed May 16, 2018) Melissa was a daughter of Lysander Hard and the first of his three wives, whose name is unknown to me. Melissa's father was born 25 March, 1 769, in New Milford, Connecticut , the sixth child of Abraham Hard and Charity Munsee. Lysander shows up i n the 1800 Huntsburg, Vermont cen sus with wife and four children. They are living near the Lemuel Rober ts family and, after Melissa's mother dies, he apparently married on e of Lemuel's daughters, Rosamond Roberts in 1808. He had yet a thir d wi fe (Hannah Holcomb) by 1813. Melissa was likely one of the two Hard daughters under ten, listed i n the 1810 Franklin, Vermont census, where the family was raising shee p and were taxed for a loom. Sometime from 1810 to 1820, the family mo ved to Ohio, perhaps staying in or n ear Coitsville for a while, wher e Melissa met and married James McFarland. Lysander Hard's brother, Ab raham Hard (b1766), and his family do appear in the (incomplete) 182 0 Wadsworth, Ohio census, and even though the NARA index shows Lysande r t o be on that census page also, his data do not show there. He repor tedly lived until 1851, but I could not locate him in any census listi ng after 1820. It appears that Melissa Hard and James were married about 1819-1820, b ecause the 1820 census in Coitsville shows James and one female (age 1 6-26), probably Melissa, and one female (age 45+), very likely Marger y (Anderson) McFarland, but no chil dren yet. His mother Margery live d with them for fifteen more years. In 1830 the family continued to grow, with one son and three daughter s by then. In 1835, widow Margery died, at age seventy-nine. Three yea rs later, Melissa was widowed by her husband James' death, his age for ty-three (*1). During the probate o f his estate (*2), some goods wer e set off to widow and children, debts were collected, and at the vend ue (sale) in July, 1838, Melissa was one of the buyers, probably the h ome-farm, since she is listed as head of family and likely owns rea l e state. By 1840, at age thirty-seven, she was head of her family, with six chi ldren, ages three to eighteen. It is possible that the older male (ag e 20-30) that is also listed there, is William Brackenridge, who had j ust married Melissa's oldest daught er, Mary, and perhaps was staying o n to help until they could afford their own homestead. Ten years later, in 1850, Melissa was still living in Coitsville, bu t now only with her unmarried sons John (age 29), and Lysander (age 15 , at school) (both farmers), and daughter Sarah (age 17, at school). L iving at the farm next door now, i s William Breckenridge (age 40, farm er) and his wife Mary (age 28, Melissa's daughter), along with their f ive children. In 1860, Melissa age fifty-seven, was still living with her son John ( farmer, age 36), and his wife and three children. And, once again, liv ing next door, was another of her daughters; Sarah (age 27), with he r husband Leonard Hogg and their tw o young children. By 1870, Melissa and the Leonard Hogg family had moved to Viola, Illin ois, still farming. In 1880, Melissa and her widowed daughter Mary Bra ckenridge, were sharing a home together in Viola, next door to the Cra wford Breckenridge family. Crawfor d was Mary's son and Melissa's grand son. However, Melissa was now "disabled" with "consumption" and, in 18 85, she died at age eighty-two.

| 4534 | MHH notes: 1820 census for Adair Co., KY. p. 34. I have conflicting evidence for his marriage. I have marrying Sept. 18, 1826 in Russell Co., Elizabeth McFall. She must be his second wife, and not the mother of the listed children. | McFarland, John (I28795)

| 4538 | MHH notes: Notes received in e-mail 6-28-17: SOURCE: Forsythe Saga family info Cousins, Joseph (1761) and William McFarland (1755) of Peters Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, fought in the revolutionary war. After the war they settled in Rockbridge County, Virginia where they married the sisters Rebecca and Margaret White. Around 1783, Joseph (1761) removed to Greene County, Tennessee, where he remained until about 1793 when he removed to Harrison County, Kentucky. About the same time, his father William (1731) and his brothers William (1763) and Benjamin (1765) joined him there. His cousin and brother-in-law William (1755) also came about that time. These five gentlemen are the seed for the McFarland families of Harrison County, Kentucky. Virtually none of the family would remain however. They began to migrate to Greene County, Ohio beginning with William (1763) who arrived there between 1798 and 1803. Joseph (1761) moved there in 1810, and Arthur must have arrived before 1814 when his daughter Eliza was born. It is unknown what became of Benjamin (1765) after 1810, but presumably he migrated with the family and died soon after, or he died in Kentucky and his family migrated with the rest of the McFarland clan. The patriarch of the family, William (1731) died around the time of the migration. It is thought his wife survived him and died in Ohio. HISTORY OF GREENE COUNTY. William McFarland, Esq., emigrated from Kentucky, and came with his family to this township about 1804, and purchased one hundred and fifty acres of land on Massie's Creek, a short distance from where Cedarville now stands. There was no trading point then nearer than Xenia, and that was a small affair. Salt was hauled from Chillicothe, and could not be had nearer. Mr. McFarland soon became a prominent man in the sparsely settled neighborhood, and served as foreman on the first grand jury in the county, in 1804. My notes: D.A.R. number A076838. Record says he served in the Cumberland Co. Militia There are two William McFarlands in Cumberland Co. PA during the Revolutionary War. It all depends on the unit and what part of the county it is connected with. The other William McFarland lived in Pennsboro township. This William McFarland lived in Peters township. Since he moved to VA in 1778 with his parents, it would also be necessary to check the year for the service. By any chance, is the William Mc Farland in Nicholas Co. KY in 1800 tax list, and there in 1810 census with one over 45, 7 under 16, total of 11, the same as this one who is in Harrison Co. in 1820? Nicholas is adjacent to Harrison Co. KY. Another adjacent county is Fleming Co. that has a Robert Mc Farlen on the tax list for 1800. 1820 census: Marysville, Harrison KY, p. 202 William M Farland 1 male 45+, 1 male 26-44, 1 male 10-15, 3 males under 10 1 female 45+, 1 female 26-44, 2 females 16-25 Son Nathaniel on p. 209, Thomas on p. 194 Below are the older Gary Morris notes: [Mcfarlan.ged.GED] SOURCE: "Genealogy of the Joseph and William McFarland Branches of the McFarland Family 1675 to 1910" by Thomas S.

He died June 1st, 1825, aged seventy years, and is buried at Endicott's church, in Harrison County, Kentucky. Rebecca, my grandmother, was born in 1763, and died May 1st, 1822. ...William McFarland seved one year in the Revolutionary war, near the close. ...<Daughter Esther> died in spring of 1793 while moving to Tennessee, and is buried near Knoxville, Tennesse, on the bank of Nolichucky River, grave unmarked."

Was in the army one year near the close of the Revolutionary War. At the age of 24 years he married Rebecca White in Rockbridge County, VA in 1779. In 1796 William and his cousin Joseph and their families moved to near Cynthiana, north of Lexington, Kentucky., his wife, children James, Joseph, John, Joseph, and a daughter, and his wife's father and mother (Joseph Mc Farland), their names were also McFarland , were all buried at the Indicott (Endicott) Meeting House Graveyard in the edge of Bourbon County. William died near Cynthiana in 1825, and wife Rebecca died there in 1822, and they were both buried in the Endicott Church yard. Moved from East Tennesse to Fayette County, Kentucky about 1797.

| 4542 | MHH notes: Is this his first marriage? He would have been 36...this seems a little late. If he stayed in Cumberland Co., Peters township after his father sold land to Robert, son of Joseph of Bucks Co. in 1778, then there should be two Robert McFarlands in the tax lists or census records, and there is not. The records below from 1778 on would be for Robert, son of Joseph. However, there is a record for a Robert McFarland, Jr. serving under Capt. Wm. Huston in 1780. Penn. Archives, 5th Series, Vol. 6, p. 270. Since James McFarland (his brother) also served under Capt. Wm. Huston, this could be correct.

| 4545 | MHH notes: Story says that she married a MacGregor and is the mother of Rob Roy MacGregor. (First the age doesn't work, Tabby would be younger than Rob Roy himself. Rob Roy MacGregor's mother was Margaret Campbell. So, where did this story come from?

As "Malcolme Oig McGregour McDougall Keir" his name appears on a list of 36 of the Clan Gregor who gave bond to the Earl of Argyll as Lord Lieutenant, 22 April 1601. After the proscription of the MacGregor name on 8 April 1604, Malcolm Oig took the name of Stewart. He married (1st) Miss MacFarlane (Issue 3 sons).

| 4546 | MHH notes: There are conflicting birth and death dates: Dec. 21, 1767, or Dec. 2, 1767. Death: March 26, 1859 or Sept. 26, 1859. This is probably due to trying to read the original on a tombstone. I have not seen any Bible records for this family. Benjamin and Ruth must have stayed living in TN when the rest of his family....father and siblings....moved to North Carolina abt. 1799. It is said that he moved to Kentucky in 1803.

| 4549 | MHH notes: Concerning Purdy's arrival in Massachusetts. No one knows when or how Purdy arrived in Hingham. However, it has been speculated that he arrived as a POW from Scotland. Purdie McFarland is included on a list of men who were captured at the Battle of Dunbar in 1650 by Cromwell and then sent to the Massachusetts colony in November of 1650. However, the likelihood of a 6 year old boy being among those prisoners is extremely hard to fathom. The list was made by a researcher named George Sawin Stewart and is available online. However there is no manifest of the ship's passengers, and Mr. Stewart did not provide his sources. http://spows.wpengine.com/battle-of-dunbar/dunbar-documentation/george-sawin-stewart-documents/ | Macfarland Mackfarlin, Purdy Purthe PuM01 (I25481)

| 4550 | MHH notes: It seems that Alexander is the son of the John McFarland listed here (as opposed to the Alexander, son of James McFarland and Elizabeth Carmichael on some trees) because of the letters discussed below to George his brother, and George is buried in the McFarland cemetery where John is buried. Alexander is in Jefferson Co. TN in the 1830 census, living near his father John Sr. McFarland. Judging from the dates of his children he must have moved to MO about 1833. In 1840, Alexander is in Warrensburg township, Johnson Co. MO with his 7 children, living near his brother George. In 1850 the family is in Johnson Co. MO, Post Oak township, on October 15th. fam. 587: Alexander McFarlan, age 45, TN, with wife Margaret 46 VA, son William R. 7 MO. Sarah E. 3 MO, John (T, Y, or L) 16 MO. There are two other families living in the house: Addison Vanusdale (?) a male teacher age 21 VA with a Minard age 12 Ohio, then a William Harrison 21 Alabama farmer, with Lucinda 19 VA, and son Harry 6 months MO There are a group of transcribed letters in the book called The McFarlands: Seven Generations from Sir John MacFarlane to John Barton McFarland written by Joe Osborn in 1955. On p. 23 is a letter from Alexander to George. Alexander is in California and is describing the cholera epidemic. George is in Johnson Co. MO. On p. 25 is a letter from John and Polly Barton in Texas to George in Tennessee, describing their new life there and saying they know that George is upset that they moved William to Texas, but they had no choice because of all the deaths. Notes below from research of Gary Morris. CENSUS: 1850 Missouri, Johnson county, Post Oak Township, Household 587 MIGRATION: 1851. Letter written by John and Polly Barton to George, Alexander's brother, dated 21 day 1851 states Alexander went to California last spring a year ago and both he and hi s son John, died. Another letter, from Elizabeth King to George dated Oct 12, 1851 said "... I recon you hav heard of your brother(s) death and his sons death your brother lived four day s after he was taken sick John lived for weakes after we was taken." According to Marcia Janssen, the death date she has is Nov 17, 1850, but considers this iffy. But he did not die in 1849, probably late 1850. (MHH notes: Actually this is possible, the census date is Oct. 1850, so they could have taken sick as soon as they arrived in California) PROBATE: 1853 Missouri, Johnson County.
