| 6306 | The American Historical Magazine and Tennesssee Historical Society Quarterly Vol. 9, Ed. A.V. Goodpasture pp. 356-365 (This concerns the family of John McFarland, his son James and wife Dicey Bilbro McFarland, and their children: John (M.D.), Nancy, William Heath, Dicey Ann, James Porter, Sarah, Jane Rachel, Frances E. and Martha, lived in Henry Co. and Wilson Co. Tennessee) McFarland Genealogy.-It was about the year 1811 or 1812 that James, the eldest son of John McFarland, was united in marriage with Dicey, the eldest daughter of Berryman Bilbro. Here the Scotch-Irish blood of the Menees and McFarland families flowed together with the old English blood of the Bilbros. The men of the Menees tribe have often been prudent and fortunate in the selection of wives, but it may be questioned whether any woman has ever entered the family by marriage who contributed so much to its dignity and prosperity as Dicey Bilbro. The children of this couple were John, Nancy, William Heath, Dicey Ann, James Porter, Sarah, Jane Rachel, Frances E. and Martha. The only one of these who failed to marry and found a family was William Heath. He was born on the 25th of March, 1817, and died on the 17th of September, 1838, being 21 years, 5 months and 22 days old. His mother, Dicey Bilbro McFarland, always cherished the warmest affection and veneration for her uncle, William Heath, of Virginia. He had visited the family of her father in Warren County, North Carolina, and had commended himself in a special manner by sympathy and counsel in connection with their misfortunes in the ancient Surry home, and she could never forget his worth and kindness. The Heaths are an ancient family in America and seem to be derived from Sir Robert Heath, who in 1629 obtained a charter for a grant of land to the southward of Virginia, known as the Province of Carolina, which has been copied in full in the Colonial Records• published by the State of North Carolina (vol. 1, pp. 5-13). This vast territory occupied all the country lying between the 30th and 36th degrees of north latitude, and has been pronounced the most extensive possession ever owned by an individual subject. So far as I can perceive the family were not known in Surry County before 1681. In June of that year a list of tithables was taken by Benjamin Harrison in the district "from Sunken Marsh upwards," and Adam Heath was one of them, but it is not in my power to trace the descent from him down to the William Heath in question; nor is it clear whether the relationship with the Heaths had been established through the Bilbro or the Charles family. However. it existed, and Dicey Bilbro was very pleased to name her second son in honor of her beloved uncle, William Heath. But William Heath McFarland found an untimely death, being carried off by an attack of typhoid fever, and the name William Heath was shortly afterwards bestowed upon me. I have sought to wear it with the respect and dignity that belong to it; but since it has been written in various ways, as Heath, and Heeth, and Hcth, I selected the shortest form, but have not altered the mode of pronunciation, for the vowel "e" always receives the long sound. John McFarland, M.D., the tallest as well as the oldest member of the family, measured six feet and seven inches in stature. He was a versatile, brilliant man, and enjoyed much success in his profession at Paris in Henry County. On several occasions he was a member of the State Legislature. He married Miss America S. Cook, a daughter of Judge Cook of Paris, who was greatly esteemed, and from her the name "America" has been widely adopted in the family. Dr. McFarland passed away in early life, leaving one child, John Porter McFarland who was born after the decease of his father. John Porter McFarland also chose the medical profession after the example of his father. He married Miss Pauline Anderson, a daughter of Churchill Anderson, Esq., of Lebanon, Tenn. I have already indicated, page 123, above, the manner in which the name Churchill became established in this family. They had two children, Pauline Porter and Churchill. The former married Mr. Gilruth, of Yazoo City, Miss., and the latter married Miss Linda Johnson. No issue in either case. On the 14th of August, 1856, Mrs. America McFarland married A. R. Davis, Esq., a merchant of Lebanon, as her second husband. James Porter McFarland likewise began his career as a doctor of medicine in West Tennessee. In 1849 he was seized with the gold fever and made his way to California, where he acquired a large property and returned to Middle Tennessee to enjoy it among the friends of his youth. In 1857, he purchased the estate of his father in Wilson County and shortly afterwards married Miss Eulalia Cowan of West Tennessee. They had six children as follows: Jamie, John Downey, Craig, Charles, Hayes and Lonsdale. Jamie McFarland, the only daughter of the family, married Mr. William Cantrell. No issue. John Downey, named in honor of Governor Downey, who was long his father's business partner in California, died without issue. Craig McFarland married Miss Priscilla Cunningham. Issue: Eulalie and Elizabeth. Charles is a prosperous business man in Texas, where he married Miss Eloise McAfee. Issue: eight children, of whom the names of only six are known to me, namely; James, Porter, Eloise, Charles, Eulalia, Frederick and Emily. Hayes McFarland married Miss Caroline Edelman. No issue. Both of the above reside at Weatherford, Texas. Lonsdale McFarland married Miss Elizabeth Crow, and has two children, Lyon Childress and Lonsdale Porter. Nancy, the oldest daughter of James and Dicey (Bilbro) McFarland, married Harvey Peyton, Esq., who resided near Hebron Church, four miles west of Lebanon. The children of this union were Fanny, Lafayette, Jane, Elizabeth, James and John. Fanny Peyton married Mr. Green White. Issue: Harvey, John Porter and other children. Lafayette Peyton married a Miss Clayton, of Rutherford County. No issue. Jane married Mr. Westbrook, who was a student from Mississippi, in the faculty of law at Cumberland University. Issue: Nancy and Charles Westbrook. Nancy Westbrook married Mr. Eddins and has issue. Charles married Miss Lucy Winfrey. Issue: Leon, Charles and Erin. Elizabeth Peyton married Rufus Anderson, Esq., of Lebanon. Tennessee. They removed to Arkansas, where Mr. Anderson died leaving behind three children, namely; Rufus, Stonewall and a daughter. Stonewall is a highly esteemed Methodist minister. James Peyton married Miss Mary Price, and they have several children, whose names are unknown to me. Both James and Lafayette Peyton and also Green White, reside in Rockwall County, near Dallas, Texas. John Peyton was a member of the Seventh Regiment of Tennessee Infantry, commanded by Colonel Robert Hatton. He entered the Battle of Seven Pines, near Richmond, Va., with his regiment in June, 1862, and has never been heard of. After the death of her first husband Mrs. Nancy Peyton married Captain William Major. Sarah McFarland married Mr. John G. Swingley, who was of German extraction and whose forbears had belonged for ages to the Reformed German Church of the Rhenish Palatinate. The Swingleys are numerous in Maryland, and this family may have come from that State. The issue of this marriage were six children, namely: James, Martha, William, Thomas, America and George Swingley. James Swingley was a soldier in the Confederate Army. After the war he married Miss Dora Owen. Issue: Guy, Leon, John and Pearl Owen. Martha Swingley married James Harrison. Issue: Answorth, Henry and Eulalia. Answorth married Miss Hattie Powell; Henry married Miss McConnell; and Eulalia married Richard Dew. William Swingley married Miss Atkinson, and his brother Thomas married Miss Owen. America Swingley married Gardner Guill. Issue: Sarah, Edine, Stella, Eugene. Of these Sarah married Samuel Wright, and they have two children; Edine married Wiley Williams; Stella and Eugene are still unmarried. George, the youngest child of the Swingley family, is likewise married, but the name of his wife is unknown to me. Jane Rachel, the fourth daughter of James and Dicey Bilbro McFarland, married Colonel James Hamilton, one of the most prominent and useful citizens of Wilson County. He was repeatedly chosen to serve in the State Legislature and was a person of wide and wholesome influence. He will long be held in grateful and affectionate remembrance. The issue of this marriage were Nancy Porter, America, James, Emma, John and Robert Hamilton. Nancy Porter married Rev. Wesley G. Miller, D.D., who was for a whole generation a distinguished figure in the Methodist Church. He held prominent charges in many cities, and died at Louisville, Ky., where he was pastor of the Broadway Methodist Church. The issue of this marriage were Minnie, William, Jennie, America, Wesley Corprew and Nancy. Minnie Miller married Captain Ernest Hines of the United States Army. Issue: Margery and John Hamilton Hines. William is a successful physician in Little Rock, Ark., where his mother resides with him. Jennie Miller is not married. America Miller married Mr. Frank Cochran of Memphis. Wesley Corprew and Nancy Miller are unmarried. America Hamilton married Mr. Charles Perry, of St. Joseph, Missouri.

Robert Hamilton, named in honor of Colonel Robert Hatton, who fell at the Battle of Seven Pines, near Richmond, Va., married Miss Olie Hundley. They have two children and reside at Kansas City, Mo. Frances E., the fifth daughter of James and Dicey (Bilbro) McFarland, married Thomas E. Williamson, of Green Hill, Wilson County. Several of my happiest years were passed under his roof as a pupil of the Academy at Mount Juliet. I owe much to this noble uncle and aunt. Their children were John William, Martha Hannah, Dicey Aline, George, Frances Ewing, Sarah America and Lelia Pearl. John William, born August 30, 1848, studied for several years at the University of Virginia, where I had the honor to be his roommate during the session of 1866-1867. He married Miss Talitha Williamson. Issue: William, George, Olivia, Frances, Thomas. Martha Hannah, born August 27, 1850, was first married to Captain Andrew Baird. Issue: Andrewna. Her second husband was Mr. W. W. Shute. Issue: Ewing and Jeanette. All of them are unmarried. Dicey Aline married John Stroud. Issue: Katherine, Frances. Lilian, Johnnie and Helen Stroud. Katherine married Bishop Dorris. No issue. Frances married Thomas Grizzard and died without issue. Lilian married Charles Cartwright. No issue. Johnnie married Dr. Thaxton Guill. No issue. Helen is unmarried. George Williamson died unmarried. Frances Ewing Williamson married Granville Johnson. Issue : Granville and Sophia Johnson. Sarah America Williamson married Dr. Edgar Blair. Issue: Julian, Frank, lone and Edgar. Lelia Pearl Williamson is unmarried. Martha McFarland, the youngest and cheeriest member of the family of James and Dicey McFarland, married Mr. James H. Scales, a merchant of Triune, in Williamson County, who later removed to Gibson County, Tenn. Mr. Scales was a widower and had one daughter, Lavinia Kelley Scales, by a former marriage. She married Mr. Calvin Ferrell, a banker at Humboldt, and both of them have been greatly honored and loved by the members of the family. It is a sincere satisfaction to record their names in this connection. The children of James and Martha McFarland Scales were Fanny, Sarah, Elizabeth, Theophilus Gentry, William and Martha Lee. Fanny Scales married Mr. Edward Fox and had issue. Sarah Elizabeth married Mr. Pearcy, of Jackson, and has two daughters. Theophilus Gentry married and has one child, a daughter. William is an oculist of distinction at Pine Bluff, Ark., and has been married twice. Martha is unmarried. Only two of the nine children of the McFarland family are still alive, namely, Mrs. Jane R. Hamilton and Mrs. Frances E. Williamson. John and Nancy (Menees) McFarland had a daughter named Elizabeth whose existence was unknown to me until I read the will of James Menees. She had married a Mr. Davis, and James Menees appears to have regarded her with kindlier solicitude than was bestowed by him upon any other of his grandchildren, reserving two hundred dollars out of the share of Nancy McFarland for her especial benefit, and one hundred dollar.for the benefit of her son, James M. Davis. Mrs Susan Curd, of Wilson County, is said to have been descended from Elizabeth Davis. I remember Dr. John Curd and his brother, William Curd, as also two of his sisters, one of whom married Mr. Harvey Freeman, and the other Mr. William Dodson, of the Hermitage neighborhood. John, the third child of John and Nancy (Menees) McFarland, married Sarah, a sister of Dicey Bilbro. His daughter, Dicey McFarland, married Mr. Alanson Wynne, and James McFarland, M.D., who resided east of Lebanon, was his son. Dr. William McFarland, a son of the aforesaid James McFarland. M.D., is at present practicing his profession in Lebanon, Tenn. Arthur, the next child of John and Nancy (Menees) McFarland, married Miss Hollen Brinson, daughter of Rev. James Brinson, a Baptist minister of Davidson County. The Brinson family are said to have come to Tennessee from South Carolina. Their oldest child, James Brinson McFarland, was born in 1816; their second child, John Porter McFarland was born in 1818; William Arthur McFarland in 1820; Nancy Jane McFarland, who married Mr. Graves, was born in 1822, and Joseph Friend McFarland in 1824. The above five children were all born in Tennessee, but in the year 1826 Arthur McFarland removed to Ouachita Parish in Louisiana, and his next child, Elizabeth Ann McFarland, who married Mr. Hise in the year 1848, was born in 1826; Benjamin Menees McFarland. who died at Jackson, Miss., during the Confederate war, waa born in 1828; Haywood Alford McFarland was born in 1833; Hollen Laura McFarland, who married Mr. Simmons, and died at Homer, La., in 1894, was born in 18351 Roselma McFarland, who married Mr. Hardy and died in 1892, was born in 1840. Besides the above ten children who all founded families, there were three others, George Washington, Talitha C. and Patrick Henry McFarland, who died without issue. The above was a family of decidedly Baptist tendencies in religious belief. Mr. James Brinson, the father-in-law of • Arthur McFarland was an ordained Baptist minister before he removed from Tennessee to Louisiana in the year 1820. (Paxton, History of the Baptists of Louisiana, St. Louis, 1888, page 238). There he became the earliest teacher of Baptist truth in the vast Ouachita region, and his family were in hearty sympathy with him. The historian mentioned above affirms that Arthur McFarland came to Louisiana in company with Mr. Brinson in the year 1820, but the McFarland family of Louisiana are stout in the affirmation that they did not arrive before the year 1826. James Brinson, who had induced them to remove passed away on the 5th of September, 1831, (Paxton, page 515), and in 1843, his son-in-law, Arthur McFarland is mentioned as having entered the Baptist ministry (Paxton, page 51). Mr. Brinson had settled at what is now known as Vienna. James Brinson McFarland, Joseph Friend McFarland and Elizabeth Ann McFarland resided at Athens, and Haywood Alford McFarland at Mt. Lebanon, La. John Porter McFarland was a Methodist minister and passed away in 1873, leaving behind him a beloved and venerated name. Anne, the fifth child of John and Nancy (Menees) McFarland, married Mr. Somers and shortly afterwards removed to West Tennessee. Their children were Ann, James and John Somers. Mrs. Anna M. Gilchrist, of Nashville, was derived from this branch. It is matter of regret that I should have so little to relate concerning a family that is held in sincere respect by. myself and other people. I had the honor to be introduced to Judge Somers on one occasion, but I cannot recall that we had any conversation regarding family history. Jane, the sixth child of John and Nancy (Menees) McFarland, married the Rev. Lewis Lindsey, a Baptist minister of Wilson County. Their children were James and John and Susan and Nancy. James Lindsey went early to Texas, where he established himself at Gainesville, and rose to opulence and dignity. He is married and has a family. His brother, John, also went to Texas where he married and had two children. One of the daughters married her kinsman, John Menees, and resides in Neely's Bend, but I have not learned what became of the other. Nancy, the seventh child of John and Nancy McFarland, married William Bilbro, a brother of Dicey Bilbro. Their daughter, Eliza, married Mr. Jarman, near Murfreesboro. One of her sons is the Rev. L. B. Jarman. Dr. Bilbro, of Murfreesboro, also belongs to this family. The youngest child of John and Nancy (Menees) McFarland was Benjamin Menees, who married Miss Young, a sister of 'Squire William Young of Wilson County, and removed to West Tennessee. His children were John, Ann, Jane and Benjamin Menees. John was a merchant at Como, and died before the war between the States. He left issue, but I have no informatiton regarding them. Ann McFarland married first Mr. Joseph William Clark, who passed away in early life, leaving behind a son. She afterwards married a Mr. Seat, residing near Humboldt, by whom she has issue. Her sister, Jane McFarland, married Dr. Bethshares, of Humboldt, and had issue. Likewise the youngest brother, Benjamin Menees, Jr., married and had issue. | McFarland, James Menees (I26340)

| 6308 | The big, tall, octagonal stone at the Methodist Cemetery had originally been in the McFarlan Cemetery (backyard of the Rose Hotel B&B) and it was moved when B. P. McFarlan, youngest son of James & Elizabeth McFarlan, died. It marks B. P.'s grave, but his name was never carved on the stone. All the others on the stone are still buried in McFarlan Cemetery. B. P.'s wife was Marcella C. Stuart (maybe Stewart). She, too, is buried behind the hotel. [http://www.emporia.edu/~delmottp/McFarlanCemetery.html] | McFarlan, Biggers Pennington (I14437)

| 6318 | The first child of William and Samantha (McClelland) McFarland was Virgil C McFarland, born in 1852, either in Youngstown or Coitsville, Ohio. His father William died when Virgil was less than eight and his mother took him and his younger brothe r William to her parents home in Coitsville. He is listed there as C V McFarland, in the 1860 Coitsville census. His mother remarried in 1863, to John H Reed, and the three of them moved to the neighboring Reed farm where they joined their five new stepsisters and brothers, ages seven through twenty-four. By 1870, at age eighteeen, Virgil had left home, perhaps for nearby Youngstown. At least he was not located in Coitsville, in the 1870 or 1880 enumerations, and is found again in the 1900 Youngstown census. In 1878, Virgil had married Mary, daughter of David and Jemima (Raney) Cooper, born in Ohio, and seven years older than he. They had seven children, three were still living and with them in Youngstown in 1900. At this time he owns his own home o n Rayen Ave, and works for the railroad as a conductor. His twenty-one year old son, Fred L McFarland also works for the railroad as a fireman, and lives at home along with a brother, David C, and sister, Hazel B, both attending school. By 1907, Virgil has died (*1 p 740), probably in Youngstown, leaving Mary a widow.

| 6323 | The following was added to the Ben Menees McFarland document (copy under Ben Menees McFarland) The writer of the above history, Ben Manees McFarland, son of John McFarland who came to America from Scotland, was a brother of Rev. Arthur McFarland who moved to Louisiana from Tennessee in about 1820 to 1825. I do not know the exact date. He settled near what is now the town of Athens, Louisiana. He married a Miss Brinson and raised a good large family. The names of these children were James B. McFarland who lived and died in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana. He preached the gospel, being of the Baptist faith, as were all the others, except one, so far as I am informed. John P. McFarland, was also a minister of the gospel and a Methodist. He died in Red River, La. William McFarland moved to Farmerville, La. Where he raised several children, one of whom is now a resident of Baton Rouge, La., and the State Supervisor of Public Accounts. Uncle William died several years ago. Joseph F. McFarland, my Father, spent the larger portion of his life in Claiborne Parish, near Athens, La., where he died in March, 1905. He married Miss Sallie D. Hargis, daughter of Dr. R. A. Hargis who was a practicing physician and a minister of the gospel. Grandfather Arthur McFarland and Grandfather Hargis did much toward establishing some of the pioneer churches of the Baptist faith in North Louisiana. My father and mother raised a family of eight children, four boys and four girls. There were four boys, in addition to the above mentioned, who died in infancy or early childhood. All of the eight who grew to maturity are living now except sister Hollie, who died in Shreveport in 19__. Those living are, James R. McFarland, now living in Hot Springs, Ark., Mrs. Sallie E. Hargrove, who has one son, Jos. R. Hargrove, now living in Los Angeles, Cal. Where she too, has made her home for past two or three years. Samuel H., resides in Shreveport, La., Mrs. J. H. Thurmond, whom we know as "Lillie" is living in Mount Lebanon: Mrs. E. F. Walker, the youngest girl, (Lula), is living at Waelder, Texas. Walter Menees McFarland, is living in Houston, Texas. The writer of this sketch, J. F. McFarland (Frank), is living in Mansfield, La. The othe children of my Grandfather McFarland are Ben, the father of Bro. James' wife, Jennie. He fought in the Confederate army and was wounded in one of the battles, he was a flag-bearer at the time. I think Aunt Jane, whom I saw only on one visit that she made to North La. From Missouri, where she lived, was the oldest of the girls. She married a man named Graves. Aunt Elizabeth married Aaron Hice. She was the mother of Belle who married Dr. W. W. Culpepper a much loved physician who practiced many years at Athens. Aunt Loura married James H. Sommons. She was a very lovable woman and a beautiful Christian character. Aunt Rosa, the youngest, married a man named Hardy. They moved to Texas and I never knew much of her. All of these uncles and aunts were men and women of sterling integrity. The McFarland name in the community where I grew up was a synonym of honesty and integrity of purpose that made me proud to be a member of the family. I wish to say, that last July (1924) a party of McFarlands assembled at the home of Mrs. J. H. Thurmond (Sister Lille) composed of all the living brothers and sisters except Samuel. We enjoyed the fellowship of being together more than any of us will ever be able to tell. In addition to the brothers and sisters, Mrs. I. N. Browning, the oldest daughter of sister Hollie, who I consider one of the finest women it has ever been my good fortune to know, was with us. Also my wife, Mrs. Mary Guy McFarland and my youngest daughter, Mary, completed the party. I should not forget, too, brother James' wife was present. A party composed of Sisters Sallie Hargrove, Lillie, (Mrs. Thurmond), Lula (Mrs. Walker), Mrs. Browning (Minnie), Walter, and myself, made a pilgrimage to the old New Hope Baptist Church in Old Athens, to the Cemetery where our Father, Mother and many other loved ones are sleeping, and down to the old spring where we found the old baptistery still in a fair state of preservation. All of the scenes brought to our minds and hearts memories that are dear and sweet. In the old church house (there is no church organization left to hold services there) we sang some of the old sweet songs, read some of the wonderful promises in God's book from the old pulpit bible and tried to picture in our minds the dear folks of long ago who used to sit in those pews and worship God in the simplicity of the "faith of our fathers." From the church house we wended our way through the famous old Athens sand to the old home place. We found the old house still standing and in a fair state of repair, but unoccupied. The doors and windows were nailed shut so that we did not go inside. Of course there were but few things left to remind us of what the place had been to us-HOME, but some trees in the yard and near by looked somewhat familiar. We looked with tenderness on some parts of the old house that we know was put in place by our dear Father. We went fown to the spring, but the bushis and briars have grown up so thickly around it that it was with some difficulty that we were able to get to it. We scooped out a small bowl in the bottom, and when the water had cleared up we each took a drink of sweet water, where many times in the days long gone by we slaked our thirst. As we turned our backs on the old place where we grew up around which are clustered so many sweet memories of childhood and Mother's and Father's loving care for us, I am sure that each heart was lifted in thanksgiving to our heavenly Father for the many blessings that He has given us all along down the years since we went out from the dear old home.

| 6334 | THE McFARLAND FAMILY Arriving at the age which admonishes me to put my house in order, and being acquainted with our ancestry for two centuries back, I feel it is a duty incumbent on me to give their history to posterity. 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 Bob (Rob Roy) 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. The fruit of this union was a girl, whose name I have forgotten, and three boys, Alexander, Thomas and John. The latter, who was the founder of our family, was bound for seven years to the hatter's trade. Although his boss was a tyrant, he served him several years, but when he was about seventeen his boss attempted to chastise him with a cat-o-nine-tales, whereupon the apprentice, who was cutting the fur off a coon skin with a round knife, resisted, knife in hand, and the boss had to beat a timely retreat to avoid being cut open by his incensed apprentice. This was a violation of the law and the hatter threatened a prosecution, when grandfather fitted up his son John and sent him to North America. His middle name was Porter, but he dropped it as he was charged with committing a crime, upon his arrival at America, which was before the war of Great Britian with the American colonies. He peddled about a year on dry goods with a two horse wagon. Grandfather Arthur finally became uneasy about him and sent Uncle Thomas in search of him. Uncle Thomas found him at Charleston and the war coming on soon, they both enlisted, John as Lieutenant and Thomas as Oderly Sergeant. At Gates' defeate the Captain was wounded and your grandfather took command of the company. He ordered his men to stand and fire, which was obeyed, and this delay left them between the pursuing and retreating armies, but he conducted his men safely through. At the siege of York, a bomb with the old fashioned fuse dropped near him and he instantly cut off the blaze before it reached the power, thus saving himself and others from its ravages. It contained nine pounds of powder, which was used to shoot back at the British. He and Uncle Thomas remained in the service until honorably discharged, when they went to French Lick, now Nashville, where father married Nancy Maneese of Virginia, and Uncle Thomas, Peggy Todd of Ireland. Dr. Felix Roberson was the first male child born at the French Lick, and James McFarland, my oldest brother, your uncle, was the second. When Buchanan's Fort was attacked by the indians, father and mother were in it. The number of Indians were five hundred, and there were only seventeen men, with their wives and children, in the fort. During the fight the bullets gave out, and Sallie Buchanan and Nancy McFarland moulded more shot while the fight was going on, and handed them hot to the men. The Indians set the fort on fire, but a shower of rain extingusihed the flames. Providence thus saved them from being massacred by the Indians or burned. There was a blunderbuss in the fort which was doubly loaded and shot with great precision, killing and wounding several of the enemy and breaking the collar bone of the man who shot it. At this junture the Indians exclaimed "Umph, a big gun" and ran off, to the great relief of all in the fort. When the soldiers were in want of salt your grandfather, John McFarland, drove a lot of pack horses to the Saline salt works in Kentucky and brought back as much salt as the horses could carry. The savages were prowling along his path and he did not dare kindle a fire, though he stood in much need of it as it was winter and the weather cold. After the battle of Nickajack the Indians were subdued and father moved to a farm near Haysborough and cultivated the soil, attending strictly upon the ministry of the distinguished Thomas Craighead, a presbyterian minister of much talent. In 1803 he moved to the six hundred and forty acre tract granted him by North Carolina for his services in the Revolutionary war. It lies eighteen miles east of Nashville and eleven miles west of Lebanon, in Wilson County, Tennessee. There I was born, being the youngest one of nine children. My father raised nine children, all of whom he lived to see grown and married, but two, myself and youngest sister Jane. After father's death Jane married Lewis Lindsay a talented Baptist minister and ripe scholar. My father held an honorable and lucrative office of years, and in 1824 he was confined to his room by a disease that had been preying upon him for years. He calmly and peacefully passed away on the 24th of May, aged seventy four year and four months. My mother lived twenty one years after father's death. She died in 1845, aged eighty eight years. Her goodness is fresh in the memory of all who knew her. Two of my brothers aided to maintain that independence which a patriotic father assisted to gain under the immortal Hero of New Orleans. Having finished a sketch of my father's life, I will name a few of his distinguished sons and grandsons. John B. McFarland, M. D., was a graduate of the Philadelphia Medical School. He practiced in Paris, Tenn. Where he married Miss Cook, daughter of Judge Cook of Paris. He was elected to the State Legislature in 1845, but died before he took his seat. His only son, John P. McFarland, is graduate of the Philadelphia Medical School. James P. McFarland, another son of your Uncle James, who was born in the fort is graduate of the same school and practiced successfully in California and was twice elected by the people to the State Senate. He now lives near Lebanon on the six hundred and forty acre tract granted to your grandfather by the state of Tennessee for defending helpless women and children from tomahawk and scalping knife of the ruthless savages. James H. McFarland, M. D., has retired from the profession and given it to his son, William W., a young man of intellect and fine promise. Dr. Berriman Bilbrow practiced twenty years at Milton and laid down his labors in this life at the age of fifty years. Dr. James Somers of Dresden, Tenn., is a graduate of Nashville Medical College and stands at the head of the profession , beloved and respected by all who meet him. Dr. John Curd, a noble man and respected physician, lives in Green Hill, Tenn. John Somerts, a graduate of the Lebanon Law School, is now chanceller in the district where he lives. I let those who know him decide as to his moral rectitude and his unyielding integrity and ability as a Judge. James M. Lindsay, a graduate of the Lebanon Law School emigrated to Texas is respected for his talents and high moral worth. Dr. John P. and William W. McFarland and ---Curd are great great grandsons, and all the other named are grandsons of my father, except Dr. H. H. Bethshares who married my youngest daughter. William W. Whitsett, grandson of my father, is now in Germany completing his education as a Baptist minister. He was born and raised near Nashville and is know by many. I have no son living but Ben F. a youth. I have two daughters, the youngest of whom is the wife of Dr. H. H. Bethshares, a man honored and respected as a gentleman and eminent physician.

| 6342 | The Nehemiah Harris farmstead in 1840 and 1850 appears to have been just to the east of Coitsville center, adjacent to the Davidson, Dolby and Wick families. He was from Pennsylvania and his wife Anna was born in Ohio. Their son Hamilton was bor n there in 1833. The farm was about three miles east of the William McFarland farm which was located on the Hazleton road nearer to Youngstown. Hamilton was seventeen in 1850 and was attending school as well as helping on the family farm. By 1860 Hamilton's father had resettled in Washington, Hardin county, Ohio and Hamilton had married Candace McFarland, daughter of William and Elizabeth (Baldwin) McFarland. They had been married three years, had two daughters, and were living i n Youngstown where Hamilton had started his own small farm. In 1870 Hamilton, Candace and their three children, Myrtle, William and Minnie, still had a home farm while Hamilton was occupied as a carpenter. They lived outside of Youngstown city near a very large farm owned by Abraham Powers. The 1880 census shows us that Hamilton has now remarried to Candace's younger sister Lavina McFarland, also a daughter of William and Elizabeth McFarland. His children by Candace; Myrtle, William and Minnie, are still in the household. Both Hamilt on and his twenty year-old son William are occupied as carpenters, while living in a neighborhood of Welsh miners, Scottish engineers and a few farmers. Importantly, at this time in 1880, we find living in the Harris household, Elizabeth (Loveland) McFarland, age 89, the mother of both Candace (who died Aug, 1874), and Lavina, Harrison's present wife. Also living there is Elizabeth's first child A mos McFarland, age 67. Both Elizabeth and Amos are listed as boarders. Hamilton's second wife Lavina (McFarland) died by 1900 and he had married again to an Elizabeth (____), born in Scotland, November, 1848. This third marraige was apparently childless, and by 1910 Hamilton Harris who was now thrice a widower, was l iving with a grand-daughter (Maude) and Lois Jewell, housekeeper (she was also with him in 1900 as a 'domestic'). Next door, also on Evergreen Avenue, lived his (and Candace's) son William Harris. 1920 was the last census to show Hamilton Harris, now age 86, a widower, still living with Lou Jewell, housekeeper, on West Evergreen avenue, Youngstown, Ohio.

| 6343 | The number of SNPs from BY674 to the birth of the two testers father is 10. That makes the average time between this line's SNPs 63 years if we begin with Parlan, b. abt. 1290. That is what I used (MHH) to calculate the age of these SNPs. | FT63020 +3, SNP Cadet (I31752)

| 6344 | The only birth record I could find for Thomas Mcfarlane was the birth record connecting him to Thomas Macfarlane and Christian Grinlay, so this connection to Robert and Agnes may be incorrect. If that is so, then the AlM05 ID is incorrect, and it should be ThM03, attached to Thomas McFarlan m. to Elizabeth Baird, the parents of Thomas Macfarlane married to Christian Grinlay.

| 6346 | The only lead I found that might prove useful is of a Frank M McFarlin's application for land under the Timber Culture Act in The Denver Land Office records (1862-1908). This would have to be after 1873 when the act was passed. (Township 7/north, and range 59/west. # 7371 and 10295.)

Other References *1 McFarlin; 2003 Many of the McFarlin (McFarland) births, marriages, and deaths, with the names, are from the 1832 William McFarland bible, presented to his grandson, William Kirk McFarland by Wm K's mother, Sarah (Kirk) McFarland, March 9, 187 7 (1897?). Photocopies of the vital records pages in that bible, plus copies of other vital record notes and letters, were given to Peter F McFarlin in 1974, by his uncle, Charles Kirk McFarlin, in Short Hills, New Jersey, who had the bible and no tes in his possession at that time. | McFarland, Frank Malt (I369)
