| 801 | 1 - I am a direct ancestor to Donald McFarlane b. 1746 at Ballawell near Buchlyvie, Stirling, Scotland, Chr. 10 Jan 1762 Port of Menteith, Perth, Scotland. Parents: Parlan McFarlan / Elizabeth McFarlan. In a manuscript he wrote and it was publishe d in a book written by C.M. Little about 1893. He states in the manuscript to have descended from Walter of Ardleisch son of Sir John McFarlane, his second wife daughter of Lord Herries. He sights that he is from a son who was given lands at Dulla tor, his son and so on. In manuscript Donald says his ancestors hold Burgess Tickets for Glasgow. In corresponding with the family they have several of these in their possession. As near as I can find, the pedigree should read: Walter, son of Sir John MacFarlane, had a son, Allaster, who you sight was given lands at Duillator, whose son Walter is the 2«sup»nd«/sup» of Duillator. You list no sons for Walter. I think I have found from Donald the genealogy goes, his father was Parlan, who is the son of Parlan MacFarlane and Cirsten McKerchar. Do you know the missing link? [E-mail from Catherine Sutherland rec: 2 Dec 2008 ] 2 - The Macfarlanes of Huntingdon, Province of Quebec The record of this family is preserved in the form of a manuscript, prepared by Mr. Donald Macfarlane, who was born in Scotland, May 1746, and died Nov. 8, 1835. The claim of direct descent from MacFarlane of Gartartan, in Perthshire, Scotland, is fortified by the Bible records of the family, also from original " Burgess Tickets' of parchment, showing that for five generations preceding the abovementione d family, the heads of each generation mentioned as "son of, " were burgesses of the city of Glasgow. The writing of .Mr. Donald Macl'arlane states that Walter, eldest son of Sir John .Macfarlane, by his second wife, a daughter of Lord Herries, got from his father the estate of Dulator, near Port of Menteith. One of his sons lived at Halbertshire , near Denny, Stirlingshire, and had a family. One of his sons went to Ballawell, near Buchlyvie; he had sons, Parlan and George.

| 804 | 1 - I have double-checked the Archibald connection, and believe it is incorrect. I did some looking in the 1860 census in Muskingum Co. and found two young McFarlin children who were living with families with different surnames. One was a John McFarlin, 12, in 1860 living in Falls, and an Elizabeth, 8, also in Falls, with a different family. Since you say he was bonded out, we can guess that he might be related to John and Elizabeth, and that their parents died, so they were taken in by other families. I looked for John age 2 in the 1850 census in this same county, but no luck--if he can be found, then we might have a clue to parentage. Census records that show McFarland with Tanner family. In 1850 in Greenup Kentucky, there is a John P. Tanner family. He is a 49 yr. old cabinet maker, with wife Rhoda, and son George, age 18, born KY. In 1860 in Morgan Co. Ohio, there is a George Tanner, age 27, farmer, born in KY, wife Mary Ann, 35, from Ohio, George W. Tanner, age one, born Ohio, and Frank McFarland, age 6, born Ohio. In 1870 in Greenup Kentucky, there is John P. Tanner, age 70, with wife Rhoda, age 62, and Frank McFarland, age 18, born in Ohio. I believe this is your Frank McFarland ancestor because it gives documentation to the story of his life that appeared in the Jasper County book. There were no Tanners in St. Louis that fit that part of the story, but the census above seems to fit. [ Mary Helen Haines in e-mail rec: 3 Aug 2011] 2 - [Several Ancestry.com trees have] an Archibald and Emmaline Truxell McFarland as Benjamin's parents, I have talked with a couple of owners of the trees last year and they couldn't provide me any proof of how they connected them with Benjamin. [E-mail from descendant Heather McFarland rec: 3 Aug 2011] 3 - In a newspaper article dated, May 5, 1938, it states that Benjamin Franklin McFarland died at the home of his daughter Bertha Swope, at 7:30 pm following a prolonged illness. It also states, that Mr. McFarland came to Mattoon, IL as a young man. He worked as a railroad section worker for a few years, then moved to Jasper County, where he resided on a farm near Newton, IL. 4 - Benjamin Franklin McFarland b. Dec. 24, 1856 in Zanesville, OH; d. May 5, 1938, Mattoon, Coles, IL Story from the Jasper County book: He was bonded out (as the story goes) as a youth to a family called Tanners in St. Louis. He traveled across the Mississippi River to Jasper county where he met and married Eliza Jane Reed. Their marriage in 1878 resulted in 11 children - 6 daughters and 5 sons. Benjamin was a distinguishable man with his striking blue eyes and white hair even at a very young age. Very little else is known about Benjamin and Eliza, however Eliza Jane died of a valvular lesion of the heart and influenza. She is buried in Vanderhoof Cemetery. It is believed that Benjamin was buried there also without a marker, but no proof exists. Marriage Certificate: 1878 - Mattoon, Coles, Illinois, USA Benjamin F. McFarland, age 23 and Eliza Reed, 21, were married at her father's residence by J.H. Aldrieh on the 28th of July, 1878. Witness to the union was William R. Highland (county clerk).

The will of Archibald's brother James which details the children of Archibald and Emaline shows no Benjamin and specifically names only three children for Archibald excluding this Benjamin. This Benjamin supposedly went by the name of Frank and seems to have been confused with Archibald Kent McFarland and Emaline Truxell's son Frank who died aged 2 years.

| 805 | 1 - I'm a descendant through the female line from Robert McFarland, who was born perhaps in PA in about 1770 and died in Franklin County, GA, in about 1850. His son, my ancestor, John McFarland, was born in 1795 and died in Franklin County, GA, on April 9, 1857.

| 806 | 1 - I've attached the genealogical form from the website with as much information as I have gathered on my husband's McFarlane genealogical line. I have two sources for this information. The first source is a genealogical work entitled, "John McFarlane of Lochgoilhead and his descendants" compiled by John S. McFarlane, Salinas, California dated January 1993. The second source is a letter sent to "Dear Family" written by Miner (Mike) and SaraBell Hawkinson (maiden name Sandeen) dated January 23, 1978. Both sources bring the family line back to John McFarlane born in Lochgoilhead, Scotland in 1779 (Aunt SaraBell's letter has only the date, but John S. McFarlane's work has the entire date of July 29, 1779). From reading John S. McFarlane's work, I believe that he calculated the entire date of birth based on a letter dated April 1, 1829 from the father of John McFarlane of 1779 to his son. In that letter, the father (also named John) states "I received your kind and loving letter dated 23rd August 1827, but did not receive it until 1st June 1828, when it came in due course to me. I was at the time in Glasgow. I return you my sincere thanks for your kind offer to me, but I am now too old to go to you, being 71 years of age the 26th day of this month, and you are 50 by the 29th of July." The father also told of the death of the son's mother in 1828 and of a brother in the same year. However, from the letter, John S. McFarlane was able to extrapolate a date of April 26, 1758 for the father's DOB. I checked on the Scottish records in FamilySearch.org and was able to locate a John McFarlan born April 26, 1758 in Luss, Dumbarton, Scotland (ID# KZQ6-789). If this is the correct father of John McFarlane (1779), the entry in FamilySearch also lists his parents (James & Janet McFarlan). [E-mail from Lorraine Sandeen with CMW genealogy form sent to Mary Helen Haines CMW Genealogy chairperson rec: 23 Apr 2013] 2 - John McFarlane was born July 29, 1779 according to the 1829 letter [from his father]. His occupation in Scotland was a wright. In 1821 he, his wife and five children sailed to Canada on the "David of London" and settled in Lanark twp. John died between 1829 and 1834 in Lanark Twp., Lanark County, Ontario. [ http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cdobie/mcfarlane-descendants.htm ] 3 - JOURNAL OF JOHN McFARLANE, 1821. The journal was written on the blank pages of an almanac of the late 1790's. It had previously been used by someone to record shipments of various types of goods, including slaves. John McFarlane was not an educated man. Words were spelled phonetically and he recorded only what he thought unusual -- it's not until page eight when they arrive in Montreal that we learn his wife and family were with him. Nor are we told any details of his family other than he and his wife carried the two youngest, implying that there were at least three children. Five children were born and three died on the ship, recorded only with terse entries, and the entry of 24 May: "lay becamed and a mutany on Board" must be a world's record for understatement. He did, however, talk a lot about the weather, so he helped to pass this dominant gene into the Canadian gene pool. I've transcribed the journal as best I could, line-for-line, with original spelling intact. I've indicated by best guesses with ?? or [square brackets].

In 1860 Daniel McFarland (62, Scotland) farmed at Brush Creek, Scot t Township, Fayette Co., Iowa with wife Agnes and 5 youngest sons. [The Ancestors of Brian Doig-http://www.doig.net/Ken.html] 2 - Daniel McFarlane was born and reared in Scotland and about 1833 was united in marriage with Miss Nancy McFarlane, who, though of the same name was no relation. They spent the first eleven years of their married life on the British Isles and i n 1844 accompanied by five children, crossed the Atlantic to the new world.. They settled in Lower Canada on the Lawrence River, about sixty miles above Montreal, whence they came in 1856 to Fayette County, Iowa, locating upon a farm which is no w the home of our subject. It was then wild and unimproved and the entire country seemed but just opening to civilisation. They lived however to see a great change take place and in its upbuilding and development bore their share. Mr McFarlane w as an honest and industrious farmer and his death which occured March 10, 1874, at the age of seventy-four years, was the occasion of deep regret on the part of his many friends. His wife died September 12, 1876, at theage of Sixty-four years an d seven months. For many years they were members of the Presbyterian Church but in later life Mrs McFarlane united with the Baptist Church. He always voted with the Republican party but never took an active part in political affairs. Their children are as follows - Daniel who is a captain of a vessel on the great lakes and makes his home in Detroit, Mich.; Alex.; Archie, who was also a captain on the lakes and died in1870; Mrs Mary Silling of Scott Township; Parley, who served in the Sixth Iowa Cavalry, an d also follows the water; Peter, who served in the same regiment, and engaged in the same occupation, but for the past two years has made his home in Buffalo, N.Y.; Mrs Elizabeth Crawford of Spokane Falls, Wash.; John, a resident farmer of Fairf ield Township; James and George twins, the former a resident of Buffalo, N.Y., and the latter of Chicago, Ill.

| 816 | 1 - Isabella went to work as a servant for a local farmer. When she was 16 years old he seduced/ raped her and she became pregnant. The farmer probably because he was already married refused to acknowledge the child as his and Isabel went back to her family where they raised the child James was brought up by his Macfarlane grandparents as their youngest son. It was many years later before James was told that the woman he looked upon as his older sister was in fact his mother. It may have been what prompted his emigration. 2 - Following taken from article in Levin NZ newspaper on his death. Date unknown. "Mr Macfarlane was born in Callander, Scotland on November 5, 1910. At the age of 16 years (he gave his year of birth as 1909) he joined the British Army, serving with the 42nd Highland Light Infantry (the Imperial Black Watch) for ten years. Much of his army service was seen in India and he rapidly rose through the ranks to leave with the rank of Sergeant Major. And before leaving India he gained distinction as a medallist in the pentathlon at the Olympics Games, competing in other events as well. At the end of 1936 he emigrated to New Zealand to settle in Levin where he married. At first he worked for Macfarlanes Transport, which had among its principals a distant relation. After the outbreak of World War II it was not long before Mr Macfarlane was back in uniform, this time in blue. He signed on at the new RNZAF station Levin, where he was one of the first Station Warrant Officers with the rank of Flight Sergeant on August 31, 1940. Before Christmas that year he had completed a short course at Wigram and been promoted to Warrant Officer. He spent some eight months at Levin giving hundreds of newcomers their introduction to military life and disipline before being posted to Rongotai in mid-April. An early chief and a foundation member of the Horowhenua Scottish Society he was instrumental in forming its pipe band and securing the services of its first Pipe Major, Mr A. A. Yorston, who is the society's current Chief. His prowess in sport was noted on the local playing fields where he was one of the founders of the soccer association, a sport he played and coached. After leaving the air force Mr Macfarlane returned to his old station, by then Kimberley Hospital and Training School, where he worked for some 26 years as laundry manager. It was there that he added his distinctive touch of humanity, running annual bus trips to Wellington Zoo for the children at his own expense. Mr Macfarlane is survived by his wife Barbara, and son Murray of Palmerston North." | Macfarlane, James Hogg Rattray (I13177)

| 817 | 1 - James B. McFarlan, the first settler in Elizabethtown, was born 29 March 1776, an important year in American history. The name McFarlan is often spelled McFarland or McFarlane and the discrepancy in spelling is trace¬able to the tendency of early settlers to drop unneeded letters of the alphabet as with the name ending in "d" or "e". It is believed by some authorities that McFarlan came from the Waxhaw settlement in the Carolinas, settled for a while in Tennessee and then came on through Kentucky to settle here in Hardin County. The earliest known rec¬ord of him, other than his birth date, is the record of his marriage to Elizabeth STUART in Montgomery County, Tennessee on 22 January 1806. The exact date of his arrival to Southern Illinois is not known, partially due to the fact that the Hardin County Courthouse has burned at least twice destroying most of the valuable early records. For¬tunately, Hardin County was until 1839 part of Pope and Gallatin counties and a little information is available from the records of these two counties. Practically each book which states the arrival date of James McFarlan to this county differs in the year of his settlement. Five different accounts of him in five different articles place his arrival here at 1804, 1806, 1808, 1810, 1812 respectively. However, he was here by 1810 as the 1810 Territorial Census of Illinois has him listed in the Shawneetown area. He settled at the present site of Elizabethtown where the trail crossed from Nashville, Tennessee to the salt works at Equality. It is believed the parents of James B. McFarlan were James and Margaret McFarlan of North Carolina, later of Montgomery County, Tennessee. The older James's will was written 2 November 1796 in Montgomery County, and Margaret and young James are both listed on the 1800 tax list of that county. Since young James was already over 21 at the time of his father's death and had begun his own life he was not mentioned in the will. This was sometimes the case in earlier days, to mention only the children at home who were dependant on the parent in the will. These children later appear in Gallatin County, Illinois where several of them were to marry. Achilles married Polly Eubanks 5 July 1814. Cynthia married Thomas Davis 24 May 1814, and Delila married William Frizel on 25 February 1813 all in Gallatin County. Two other sons, William and Marvell, were also in Gallatin County at this time. There were several court proceedings involving James B., William, Marvell, and Achilles in Gallatin County: however, the nature of these problems cannot be determined as flood waters destroyed most of these early court records of Shawneetown and Gallatin County. There were at least eleven proceedings involving these brothers in the years 1814-1815. The most likely cause of the quarrels would be over the father's will or perhaps after the mother's death. This is just conjecture. James B. McFarlan took part in the War of 1812 when he was concerned in the transportation of the baggage wagons from the Saline Salt works to Camp Russell. Elizabeth Stuart McFarlan, wife of James B. and the woman for whom Elizabethtown was named, submitted an application for bounty land from the U.S. Government on 5 June 1855 on the basis that James was a teamster for a Captain Whitlock during the War of 1812. The Act of 31 March 1855 gave persons entitled to it, bounty land for their service in the War of 1812. It is not known whether or not Ms. McFarlan received any bounty land. On 2 June 1812, the Governor of the Illinois Territory, Ninian Edwards, appointed James McFarlan Captain of the 4th Regiment of the Militia. On 25 May 1813, he was again appointed Caption of the Militia of the big Creek along with Captain Steel of Grandpier, and Captain Barker of Rock-and-Cave. McFarlan's name is also listed with 140 other names in a petition sent to Congress in December 1812 concerning the establishment of a land office for the sale of area lands. On 29 September 1813, James McFarlan was licensed to keep a ferry where he resided on land belonging to the U.S. Government until the sale of these lands. This ferry was previously owned and operated by a man named Barker, probably the same Captain Barker mentioned earlier, and was built by a band of settlers from the Carolinas who came to the Ohio River at the point and found no means of crossing it. They built the ferry to cross into Illinois. Along with the ferry business, McFarlan had a contract with the U.S. Government to furnish beef to the garrison at Ft. Massac. He also, about this time, built a home and hotel which became a popular stopping place for travelers. In the spring of 1813, he secured a license for a tavern and filed bond to assure legal and proper operation of his establishment. Thus was born McFarlan's Tavern later to be known as the Rose Hotel, the oldest hotel in Illinois still in existence. The prices set at the tavern are a far cry from today's cost of food and lodging. Breakfast, dinner, or supper was $ .25, lodgings - $ .12½, oats or corn per gallon - $ .12½, a half pint of whiskey - $ .12½, and a small beer (one quart) - $ .12½. The tavern also served drinks line taffia, cherry bounce, and cider royal, contents unknown. The main part of the old hotel was built shortly after the arrival of the McFarlan family which would put the date between about 1807-1810. Another wing was added by James B. McFarlan, Jr. in 1840, and the kitchen quarters where added about 1860. The Rose Hotel (McFarlan's Tavern) gained further notoriety on 26 December 1872 when it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Established in 1935, the National Register is a list of the places which best typify our nation's cultural heritage and which should be preserved for future generations. James B. McFarlan worked for the development of roads in the area through petitions and his terms of office a Circuit Court Clerk. In the January 1814 term of court, a report on one of the roads was made. The road was the McFarlan road with the route decided upon being from McFar¬lan's Ferry to Absolom Eaten's; thence to Nathan Clampit's; thence to Betty Pankey's on Big Creek; thence to Elias Jourdan's; thence to Lewis Watkins', taking the old road to Willis Hargrave's salt works. There are still some records of land transactions by James B. McFarlan in Pope County with duplicates located in Springfield. On 9 October 1814, he owned a total of 425 acres all but 125 of which were located in Section 27, Township 12, Range 8 with the other 125 acres located in Section 26, Township 12, Range 8. This would include all of present day Elizabethtown. Also on 25 Nov¬ember 1814, Grant #829, James McFarlan of Gallatin County paid $475.32 for the acreage just men¬tioned. He had prepaid $118.83 on this same land on 18 October 1814. He was the grantor and William Hosick the grantee in a Pope County land exchange in 1829, and grantor with his son, James, Jr. the grantee in several land exchanges in 1834. Land was also exchanged from James and Elizabeth "Betsy" McFarlan to their son-in-law Phillip Jones Howard in 1834. He purchased another 160 acres on 1 October 1831 and another 40 acres in January of 1837, shortly before his death. As mentioned before, McFarlan was listed on the 1810 Territorial Census, and he was also listed on the 1820 State Census of Illinois in Gallatin County, and the 1830 Federal Census of Pope County. The first post office of Elizabethtown, known at the time as McFarlan's Ferry, was established on 5 November 1830, with McFarlan as the postmaster and this office was discontinued on 23 August 1834. Not much else is known of James b. McFarlan's activities during the 1820 and 1830s, but it is assumed that with his ferry business, tavern, and county work that his life was a very busy and productive one. He died on a cold day, the first day of December 1837 in the home that he had built by hand some twenty-five years before. His remains were laid to rest behind the old hotel, and his tombstone is still marking his resting place after these 142 years. His wife, Elizabeth, was to live several more years in Hardin County, and with her son, James, Jr., she operated the hotel until her death on 11 August 1863 at the age of 73 years. James McFarlan left five children when he died, all of whom later died in Hardin County. John L. b. 10 May 1807 died 13 September 1844, James B., Jr. b. 6 Dec. 1810 married Matilda Hobbs and died 30 Mar 1883, Margaret Minerva b. 6 Dec. 1812 married Philip Jones Howard who died 10 March 1840 and is buried behind the Hotel. Margaret later married James Kirkham and she died 24 Jul 1890. The fourth child of James McFarlan was William Pinkney McFarlan b. 1 February 1817 married Drusilla Morris and died 15 June 1849. Captain B.P. McFarlan was the youngest son of James and Elizabeth McFarlan and he was born in 1820, married Marcella C. Stuart and died 3 April 1893. Captain B.P. was the man responsible for the construction of the pagoda on the Rose Hotel bluff. The name McFarlan is carried on today with the McFarlan Precinct in Elizabethtown. A small but honored tribute to a true American pioneer and settler. (A BRIEF HISTORY OF JAMES B. McFARLAN - Early settler and founder of Elizabethtown, IL By Joseph Howard Simmons (great-great-great-great grandson of James B. and Elizabeth McFarlan from Hardin County Independent, March 1980)) [http://www.emporia.edu/~delmottp/McFarlanCemetery.html] 2 - James & Elizabeth McFarlan established a boarding house in 1812. In 1813 he obtained a license that dictated the prices he could charge: Breakfast, dinner or supper 25 cents Lodgings 12 1/2 cents Oats or corn, per gallon 12 1/2 cents A half-pint of whiskey 12 1/2 cents A small beer, one quart 12 1/2 cents Additions were added to the inn about 1848 and 1865 to the L-shaped two-story building that exists today. In 1884, Mrs. Sarah Rose bought the hotel. The state of Illinois purchased the hotel in 1990 and after a $1.5 million renovation, it reopened in 1998. It now operates as the Rose Hotel Bed & Breakfast. The cemetery behind the Rose Hotel B&B. Three stones plus a footstone or two are all that are visible today. I have been told that the big McFarlan family marker was moved from this location to the Methodist Cemetery behind the Methodist Church, about 2-3 blocks from the hotel, although the bodies were not moved. It is also said that many bodies are still buried behind the hotel, including slaves, and that there are probably bodies buried beneath the asphalt parking lot that was put in a few years ago. James McFarlan's stone doesn't mark the spot where he is buried. He is buried with the other family members in the corner of the backyard.

| 823 | 1 - Joe McFarlin was the personal Guard for General Bedford Forrest during the entire Civil War. 2 - Forrest's Escort. Letter from Commander Charlie Lott; Forrest's Escort Camp 1239; Sons of Confederate Veterans McFarland, J.S. TN Cav. Jackson's Co. Organized September 1862 at Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Paroled at Gainesville, Alabama, May 10, 1865. This company was recruited at the instance of Nathan Bedford Forrest shortly subsequent to his promotion to brigadier general, by Captain Montgomery Little, a native of Bedford County who had been before the war a planter and business man in Memphis. It was made up mainly of me from Bedford County, part of which is now Moore County, who were assembled in Shelbyville in September and moved from there to Murfreesboro just before the town was temporarily occupied by a Federal raiding force. They were integrated into Forrest's command in time to participate in the confused fighting around Lavergne on October 7, 1862. Thereafter, the combat record of this company is the record of battles in which Forrest was himself engaged. After taking part in the demonstration against Nashville on November 6, they moved with Forrest to his West Tennessee Raid, and from there to the frequent fighting around Spring Hill, Thompson's Station - where Little was killed - College Grove, Franklin and Breutwood; they also participated in the pursuit and capture of Streight during the early summer of 1863. They then moved south and east, screening Bragg's withdrawal in the Chattanooga Campaign, to take part in the Battle of Chickamauga. From here they were transformed, a part of the nucleus of Forrest's new command, to West Tennessee. In West Tennessee, they took part in the operations incident to Forrest's mobilization of a force from the stragglers hiding in that area and North Mississippi, and gathering supplies. The mobilization having been accomplished, they took part in the Battle of Okolona, the raid to Paducah, the capture of Fort Pillow, the Battles of Brice's Crossroads and of Harrisburg and the Memphis Raid. Following the Middle Tennessee Raid and the destruction of Johnsonville, they moved with their commander to the screening action ahead of Hood on his invasion of Tennessee, which was followed by coverage of the retreat. During all these operations, they were frequently mentioned favorably in orders. It would not be unusual for the general commanding to make favorable mention of his Escort, but the facts are that all these commendations were richly deserved. It is significant to note that, whereas the Escort had numbered 90 men at its first muster, and had been 65 strong on its arrival in West Tennessee, it had, when paroled at Gainesville, Alabama on May 9, 1865, mustered a strength of 119. Part of this increase may be attributable to the gathering in of stragglers from other units, but a part is also due to the fact that the Escort, from its first organization to the final surrender, had an incomparable morale. 2 - MCFARLIN, J.S. - J.S. McFarlin, or "Uncle Joe" as he was best known, died Monday morning at three o'clock in Rogers and was buried the same day in the city cemetery. The funeral services were held at the M.E. Church, South, being conducted by the pastor, J.F.E. Bates, the Masonic Order being in charge and holding their regular burial services. Mr. McFarlin was born in Bedford Co., Tenn. March 9, 1835 and died at his home in Rogers March 9, 1908, being just seventy - three years old. He was one of th oldest men in Rogers, having moved to Rogers from his native state and county in November of 1881. He was the youngest son oldest the family and the last one of them to pass away, his oldest brother, W.H. McFarlin, preceding him only a few months. He was married early in life to Miss Martha Jane Arnold, and to this union were born four children, two of whom survive him, Jesse McFarlin, so well known her, and Mrs. R.R. Carson [Sarah Jane Belle McFarlin Carson], also of Rogers. He leaves an only sister in Tennessee. His wife died eighteen years ago and these years have been years of loneliness to him. He was a good citizen, true to what he believed to be right. He served four years in the Southern army and was a strong believer in the rights of the Southern cause. He was an honored Mason and his brethren trusted and respected him, as was shown by the large procession of the brotherhood, being more than sixty who did him honor. After the funeral sermon, T.J. Keller paid a tribute to him in behalf of the Masonic Lodge. "Uncle Joe" was a familar figure on our streets and will be very much missed. Many friends sympathize with the family and the whole community will feel the loss of her oldest citizen. [Rogers Democrat 3/11/08] ( OBIT 04 Joseph S. McFarlin, Compiled by Barbara P.

John Macfarlane came to NZ on the SS Stormcloud and was presented with a religious book of appreciation that also had a list of the miles travelled. 2. A miniature New Testament and Psalms was sent to "John Macfarlane with love from Grandmother, Edinburgh 1887". This was presumably dedicated to John Edwin not 'old John'.

The 1900 census from Wolf Creek, PA also shows (Jame's son) John A McFarlin (a77) and wife Levina (Kimmel) (a68) now living alone there. The plac e of birth given for John's father (James) is, again, Ireland. These two data give further "proof" that Margery McFarlin came to America at least after about 1796, since James' birthdate appears to be 1795. 2 - JOHN ANDERSON MCFARLIN (1823 - 1901) (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, reviewed Dec 2017) John Anderson McFarlin was born on his father James' farm in Coitsville, Ohio and grew up there. In 1840 and 1850 he i s with his mother Melissa, and brothers and sisters. In 1860 John is s till in Coitsville and is now married to Lavina, has tw o small childre n and his mother still is with them. By 1870 he has moved to Wolf Cree k, Mercer co, Pennsylvania with wife, children and mother Melissa. Th e 1880 census from Wolf Creek, PA shows John McFarland (a56) and wif e Levina (a48) with s even children, farming there. His father (James ) place of birth is given as Ireland. The 1882 History of Mercer co, Pennsylvania (*1) wrote a biography o f John A McFarlin, quoted here; "JOHN A MCFARLIN, farmer, post-office Centretown, (in Wolf Creek, Merc er co) is a son of James and Melissa (Hard) McFarlin, natives of Irela nd. His grandfather, John, immigrated to America in 1797 with his wife , Margery, and six children. He wa s killed east of the Mountains, an d his widow with her children visited her brother at New Bedford, Penn ., for about one year, and then moved to Trumbull County, Ohio, wher e the father of our subject was reared and engaged in farming and dist i lling. His wife was a native of Vermont, and by her he had nine child ren, five of whom are still alive. He died in 1838 and his widow in 18 86. Their living children are: Mary, widow of William Breckenridge, li ving in Illinois: Louisa, Mrs. Dani el Jacobs, of Kansas; Sarah, Mrs. L eonard Hogg, of Illinois Robert W., of Illinois. and our subject, wh o was born in Trumbull County, Ohio. June 1823, and was educated at th e public schools. "In 1852 he (John) went to California and engaged in gold mining for t hree years. In 1861 he purchased his present farm, where he has sinc e resided. In 1855 he married Lovina W., daughter of Isaac and Annie K . (Wick) Kimmell, of Ohio, and by th is union has seven children: Gran t W., of Worth Township, married to Mary, daughter of Henry and Jane H owe, of Worth Township, and has two children, Alice and Luella; Willia m J., of Springfield Township, married Mary Sopher, daughter of Joh n S opher, of this Township, and has two children, John L. and Lewis C . ; Elmer, of Kansas, married Belle Blakely, of Clyde, Kas. ; Lizzie , Lillian, Frank O., Annie M. and Louise Blanche. "Our subject has held the offices of supervisor, school director and a ssessor of the township. He and family are members of the Methodist Ep iscopal Church of Fairview, of which he is class-leader and steward, a nd has been trustee." The 1900 census from Wolf Creek, PA shows John A McFarlin (a77) and hi s wife Levina (Kimmel) (a68) now living alone there, beside his son Gr ant's farm. This 1900 census, along with the 1880 census, also gives t he place of birth for John's fathe r James to be in Ireland. These tw o data give further proof that John A's grandmother, Margery McFarli n came to America at least after 1796, since her son James' birthdat e appears to be 1795, and he was born in Ireland. John Anderson McFarlin is reported to have died in Wolf Creek 1901. H e is buried in Union Home Cemetery in Wolf Creek.

| 838 | 1 - Living at home in 1871 and 1881 censuses. Occupation: Plumber. John worked in Fairfields Shipyard in Govan. He played for a Govan football team (semi-professionally) and was known as "the Gem". His stone in Kilmahog graveyard records "John Macfarlane of Lochsloy Callander died Mar 21 1947 aged 81 years" 2 - John's nickname was "Jakie". He was apprenticed at Stephen's Shipyard, Linthouse, Glasgow, Scotland. While he was in Glasgow at this time he witnessed the capsize and sinking of the ship Daphne as she was launched. It is not known if he was working on the building of the ship. It was at this time that he made a name for himself as an outstanding football player in the Linthouse FC team. By the time of his marriage, to Isabella Carrick on April 19 1900 in Govan, the apprenticeship was completed and John could describe himself as a master slater. John was a member of the firm of P. Macfarlane & Sons, Back Row, Callander. The other members were his father, Peter, and his brother, Archie. They didn't build houses but sub-contracted the plumbing, slating, plastering and rendering work. John had a fine head of auburn hair and according to his daughter-in-law, Marie, he was a lovely gentleman with a fine fund of Highland stories which he loved to tell. Around 1935 John was struck by a car on the humpbacked bridge at Bridgend and sustained damage to his leg(s) which made it difficult for him to get about. Thereafter he walked with two sticks. He retired form the family firm after the accident. John died 21 March 1947 at Loch Sloy, 14 Bridgend, Callander, at age 81 at the time of a huge snow. His obituary was published 29th March 1947, in the Callander Advertiser: " We regret to record the death of Mr John Macfarlane, who passed away at his home. Loch Sloy, Bridgend. Mr Macfarlane had attamed his 81st year but had been in failing health for some time past. Mr Macfarlane was a descendant of Clan Macfarlane which came to Callander in the year 1628. In sport Mr Macfarlane was widely known, especially in football. He was one of the few remaining members of the original Callander Rob Roy Club. For many years Mr Macfarlane played for the old Linthouse team and his dexterity on the field earned him the by-name "The Gem" in sporting circles. Mr Macfarlane served his apprenticeship as a plumber in Linthouse, and set up business as a master plumber in Callander. For a time the deceased was Right Worshipful Master in Lodge Ben Ledi, and subsequently Past Master. The funeral, which was largely attended, took place to the burial ground at Kilmahog. A large contingent of brother masons led the cortege to the burial ground, where the Rev. Geo. W.H. London, Minister of St Brides Church offered the committal prayer" 3 - John MACFARLANE , master slater was born on 14 Jan 1866 at Callander. He married Isabella CARRICK, daughter of Robert CARRICK , blacksmith and Catherine MCNAB, on 19 Apr 1900 at Govan.

[Recollection of Flossie 2006] 5 - Linthouse were a football club from the Linthouse district of Govan, Scotland. This pre-dated The Burgh of Govan being annexed by The City of Glasgow on 5 November 1912. Linthouse were formed in 1881 from an Athletics club, the played their home matches at Langlands Park until closing in 1900. The team played in navy blue. They were founder members of the Scottish Football Alliance and won that competition in its inaugural season, 1891'96 92. They joined the Scottish Football League in season 1895'96 96 when they became part of the Scottish Second Division. Their first season in the League was not a successful one, with the club finishing bottom of the ten team division. However it was around this time that Linthouse achieved their record attendance at Langlands Park when 4,000 spectators turned out for their Glasgow Cup match against Celtic. They played for five seasons in the Second Division without much success, their highest finish being fifth in season 1897'96 98. Two seasons later in 1899'96 1900 they finished bottom of the division. Linthouse were struggling to make an impact and attendances were poor, with it being a constant battle to get paying spectators through the gate, competing as they were against nearby Rangers, who had been established far earlier. As a consequence the club decided not to seek re-election to the League at the end of 1899'96 1900, as they had to do if they wished to retain membership, and their tenure as a Scottish Football League club was over after five seasons. Linthouse entered the Scottish Cup the following season (1900'96 01) and they progressed to the second round as their first round opponents Clydebank forfeited the tie. However Linthouse themselves forfeited their second round tie with Motherwell and the football side was discontinued. Formed: 1881. Defunct: 1900. Ground: Langlands Park, Govan. Colours: Navy blue shirts, navy blue shorts. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linthouse_F.C.] | Macfarlane, John "Jake" (I13199)

| 840 | 1 - Malcolm Mcfarlane died in 1875 at Causewayhead. Helen Mcfarlane was living with her daughter in Glasgow and I don't know what happened to her. There was a son John born 1825 in Logie and was wondering whether he died very young. From Page 23 of Logie Kirk Sessions: No date Williiam Towers, from Hill of Aithrey, purchased a plot for four lairs and two headstones at the back of the Church. There is no date for the purchase but in the margin, it says that these lairs were transferred to Malcolm McFarlane on the 7th Ma y 1871 - see page 41. From Page 32 of Logie Kirk Sessions: May 15th 1776 John Towers appears before the Session and it seems that there has been some mix-up over lairs. These appear to be different lairs to the above ones as each entry gives a description of locations. It tells of how he agrees to move grave stones. Th ere is also a note beside this entry in the margin and it says that these lairs are transferred to John Christie, Ironmoulder in Stirling, grandson of John Towar, this is dated 11th September 1875 From Page 41 of Logie Kirk Sessions: 9th May 1871 Malcom McFarlane provided a deposition dated 13th April/August 1850 signed by Mrs. Michael Towers (Margaret Cumming) in respect of four lairs mentioned on page 23 (of this book). From Page 74 of Logie Kirk Sessions: 14th October 1850 Hellen Christie, spouse of Malcolm McFarlane, Causewayhead obtained another 4 lairs in the Old Churchyard and then it goes on to describe the location. [ http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,215881.0.html ] 2 - I have been doing research on my McFarlane Family tree. Briefly, I am 6th generation Aussie, with firm research connecting me to my 4th Great Grandfather Malcolm McFarlane in Scotland. I found his death certificate, on which it states his Wif e was Helen Christie, father was also a Malcolm Mcfarlane, mother was Ann Parker. His father is stated as being a seaman in the Royal Navy. [E-mail from Shaun McFarlane rec: 24 Feb 2012] 3 - I didn't know Malcolm had a brother Peter. I did however come across a Will (everything is left to a brother John) in my research that belongs to a Malcolm Mcfarlane, who has railway stocks. Which correlates with a death certificate that ha s a Malcolm (married to a Helen Christie) stating occupation as being with the railways (carriage inspector or something to that effect). The will is circa 1853, the death cert is 1875. Also has Malcolm's father as Malcolm (his occupation was a Se aman in the RN) and Ann. [E-mail from Shaun McFarlane rec: 27 Feb 2012] 1 - We travelled to Scotland in 2007 and stayed at Stirling. My husband's great-grandfather Malcolm McFarlane was born here.Malcolm's father, another Malcolm, was listed in the library as gentry in 1856 and ran what is now known as the Wallace Hot el. We were unable to find records as to the name of the Hotel during this period, the current managers did not have records onsite. We believe the next McFarlane line back was married to a Christie girl, from the local area, being a farming famil y. The Christie girl had a twin brother. My husband to this day is a male twin with a female twin sister. His twin sister has a boy & girl twin. We would find it of great interest if you could direct us where to research further for additional inf ormation about the McFarlanes from 1856 and prior of Stirling. Look forward to your response. [ Forum post by Donna Johnston 2010 at http://clanmacfarlane.org.au/2010/06/clan-macfarlane-its-descendants-and-associated-families/#comments ] As Donna husbands ancestor Malcolm emigrated to Australia in 1853 it must have been his father Malcolm (the one who married the Christie girl) and is described as gentry in 1856 and ran the Wallace pub.-Ed. 2 - Causewayhead is at a roundabout road junction to Bridge of Allan, Menstrie, etc. It lies at the foot of the Abbey Craig (Wallace Monument) and if my memory serves me there is a hotel at that roundabout.

| 841 | 1 - Malcom's parents were Alexander and Eliza McFarland. I don't know Eliza's maiden name. They are listed in the 1860 Census of Moore Co., Rollins Store Post Office, page 36, family #249. Alexander was aged 45, Eliza 29 and Malcolm was 1 year old. There is also a daughter, Sallie, aged 6 and a younger brother, Wm. B. J., aged one month. Eliza apparently died before the 1870 Census. In 1870 Alexander, aged 55, is listed in Sloan's Township of Moore Co., Jonesboro Post Office, page 46, family #264. The second listing for the family is Isabella C. McFarland, age 41. Isabella is listed as House Keeper but in the 1880 Census (Moore Co., Jonesboro Township, pg. 41, family #379) she is listed as Alexanders wife. Alexander had children by both Eliza and Isabella; Sally, Malcolm, Wm. Benjamin Jones, Daniel, Margaret, Mary, Flora and Betty. Wm. Benjamin Jones McFarland reportedly built the house in the 1880s that his brother Malcom A. and his bride Mary Elizabeth moved into in Harnett Co.

They arrived in Wisconsin in 1853...maybe from Canada. 2 - MRS. WILLIAM PROUDFOOT Mary McFarland was born in Krief. Scotland, in the year 1839 and fell peacefully to sleep Dec. 12 1912. at the age of 73 years. She left Scotland at the age of 14 coming to WI. She was married to William Proudfoot in Brodhead. WI, at the age of 1 9. To this union 8 children were born, 5 of whom survive her. Soon after their marriage they moved to New Orleans and were living there during the exciting outbreak of the civil war. Hastily leaving the south they returned to Wisconsin and have s ince resided near and in Mount Hope. Besides her aged husband and 5 children to mourn her loss a host of friends and neighbors will miss her kindly face and the pleasant word that ever greeted the welcome caller.

| 848 | 1 - My GGgrandfather John was born at Bushmills, Antrim about 1840 and died in New Zealand in 1909. Family records suggest that he had sisters Isabella, Jane, Elizabeth and Nellie (I don'tknow about brothers). His parents MAY have been John Macfarlane (school teacher) and Anne McNeale. Anne Macfarlane nee McNeale died in Edinburgh in 1890. The informant was her daughter, Jane Macfarlane. Also apparently consistent with the family records, an Isabella Macfarlane married an Alexander Proctor in NZ about 1865 and had a number of children including Isabella, Margaret, Annie, Winifred, Gertrude, John and Alexander. (Posted by: Don Macfarlane) [http://genforum.genealogy.com/macfarlane/messages/529.html ] 2 - Marriage records show that he was born at Bushmills, Antrim, Ireland. From given age at marriage (28) on 29 August 1871, deduce that he was born about 1843 or late 1842. Died at Victoria Home,Test St, Oamaru (NZ) on 25 June 1909 of spinal degeneration (12 yrs), cystitis and uraemia (4 days). Aged 67. From this deduce that he was born before 29 June 1842. Possibly a Professor of Mathematics at Trinity College in Dublin (letter from Gordon Macfarlane to Don 22 Nov 1988). Seems unlikely! However, his father was a schoolteacher and may therefore have been the 'Professor of Mathematics' that Gordon mentioned NOTE-his teaching records from NZ (Otago Education Board reports held by Hocken Library) indicate that he trained "one session at Kildare Place, Dublin" - it was a Church of Ireland teacher training place - but they have no record of him in the period 1860-1863 when he most likely trained. Emigrated to NZ before 1870 (he was a school teacher at Port Chalmers in 1870, his first appointment in Otago). Thought to have arrived at Port Chalmers on ship "Storm Cloud " (Eric Stevenson's letter 1 Dec 1987) but is not on the passenger lists for voyages that arrived 27 April 1860, 30 July 1861, nor for a voyage to Bluff (arrived 5 December 1862). The "Storm Cloud" arrived at Dunedin via Bluff on 21 Dec 1862 with 74 passengers. He was not one of those passengers either. Arrival on any of the 'Storm Cloud' trips seems to clash with the Otago Ed Board records that indicate he had been a teacher for 15 years in 1878 (so started teaching 1863, suggesting trained before 1863, when he was supposedly in Dublin) THE OTAGO WITNESS Saturday Feb 2nd 1861 page 4 col 6 reported the arrival on January 28 of the "Lady Egidia", 1236 tons, from Glasgow with immigrants and general cargo. Dalgety Rattray & Co agents. The passenger list included a John McFarlane and a Jessie McFarlane (brother and sister? husband and wife??). "This fine vessel arrived at Otago from Greenock on Saturday the 26th" (this seems to be too early for John given his teacher training in Dublin) A John Macfarlane is recorded on the Dunedin Electoral Roll for 1862 and again for 1865-66.

My mother was Catherine Justice McRobbie who was born in Callander on 6/24/1919 and died in Long Valley, NJ USA on 10/29/1991. [E-mail from Joan Kuhhorn rec: 15 June 2009] 2 - Isabella went to work as a servant for a local farmer. When she was 16 years old he seduced/ raped her and she became pregnant. The farmer probably because he was already married refused to acknowledge the child as his and Isabel went back to her family where they raised the child James as one of their own children. It was many years later before James was told that the woman he looked upon as his older sister was in fact his mother. 2 - Isabella MCROBBIE Birth Date: 24 Jan 1894 Death Date: Jul 1978 Social Security Number: 106-22-1607 State or Territory Where Number Was Issued: New York ZIP Code: 76248 [FamilySearch™ U.S. Social Security Death Index] (Research):U.S. Naturalization Records Indexes, 1794-1995 Record - Immigration & Travel Name: Isabella Mcrobbie Birth:dd mm year Residence: United States Civil:dd mm year in New York, 1930 United States Federal Census Record - Census & Voter Lists Name: Isabella Mc Rowbbie Spouse: name surname Children: name surname Birth:year in location Residence:year in city, Kings, New York, Arrival:year New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957 Record - Immigration & Travel Name: Isabella Mcrobbie Birth:year in location Residence:location Arrival:dd mm year in location Departure:location Social Security Death Index Record - Birth, Marriage & Death Name: Isabella McRobbie Birth:dd mm year Death:mm 1978 in city, Tarrant, Texas, United States of America Civil: New York | Macfarlane, Isabella Millar Rattray (I13156)
