  • Notes 

    • 1 - He is said to have followed his father, Duncan, to Jamaica.
      [from 'The barons of Arrochar and their cadets' a manuscript by Chevalier Terrance Gach MacFarlane - Chapt. 5 - 20c]

      2 - I have the author's notes for the History of Clan M'F in my attic. The author, James Macfarlane, received two letters from your Pollard cousins in 1913 which gave the Rev. James's father as James (the latter whom my cousin seems to have conlated with James son of Duncan). The letters show your first James (died 1797) as having two older brothers: one, who went to America or Canada; and another, who went to India and made a fortune. The letter also says that their father's name was unknown.
