4555 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.

Is this person correct. There seems to be a duplication of names of children attached to Robert Henry McFarlane and Joseph McFarlane. There seem to be no descendants attached to the Robert Henry group.

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.

This appears to be the same family of the 1851 census with widowed Mary Wilson, 77 living with Sarah Wilson, 38, living next to Samuel Wison, 44. So, without further evidence, the guess is that David and Mary are the parents of Samuel.

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.

According to Donnell Frasier's notes, after William P.'s death, the children went to live with William's sister Jane Curtis in Jasper Co., Texas. According to the 1860 census those children would be Ann, Rufus, and Susan. If Jane is correctly identified as William's sister, then her husband is Robert B. Curtis, not Clark as some trees have it.

4572 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.

What is the proof that connects Allegheny County McFarlands to this family?

4575 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?

Found this history at http://hal_macgregor.tripod.com/gregor/tree.html which shows a marriage of Rob Roy's grandfather to a MacFarlane for his first wife.

26. MALCOLM 0IG (Callum) MacGREGOR, was b. about 1580. 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). He married (2nd) Miss MacDonald with whom he had nine sons and daughters incl. Gregor and Donald Glas, his younger son:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

27. DONALD GLAS STEWART MacGREGOR, b. about 1630, resumed his ancestral name of' MacGregor on the repeal of the proscription in 1661 Soon after this he was commissioned a Lieutenant-Colonel in the British army, and thereafter is generally termed "Lieut.-Col. Donald MacGregor in Glengyle". He died due to sustained torture in Tolbooth Prison in Edinburgh about 1686 at the hands of the reinstated Campbells (under William of Orange). He married Margaret Campbell in 1656.

4576 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. The part of Kentucky they settled was called Adair County until 1825 when Russell County was formed from part of Adair and other counties.

4579 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.

4580 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)

4581 MHH notes: John appears to be living in Lafayette County in Clay township in the 1840 census. Image 15/40. In that same county is George McFalrand and Samuel McFarland on Image 17/40. In the 1850 census that are all missing from Lafayette County, but there is John W. McFarland living in Johnson County, Post Oak Twp. The ages fit for this John in 1850 to be the same John in Lafayette in 1840. In the 1830 census in Lafayette County, living with Sarah (who I believe is Sally Jack) McFarland are two males, one is 20-30, which would fit with John W. and another is a male between 10 and 15 years of age. There are also two females between 20 and 30, and mother Sarah is 50 to 60. McFarland, John W. (I29655)
 
4582 MHH notes: There are two conflicting dates for birth. The birth date of July 23, 1737 is recorded in the Massachusetts Vital Records. Then his death date is Nov. 16, 1832, aged 77, also in the Mass. Vital Records. I believe the earlier date is probably correct, but both records are typed transcriptions. Devereux, Benjamin (I937)
