• Notes

  JOHN MCFARLAND (ca 1805 d aft 1840) (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, updated on Aug 4 2018) Williams (1882) states that most of Alexander's seven sons and two dau ghters "settled in this vicinity" (*1 p 168). This John's name and bir thdate were taken from the IGI. In March, 1833, the inventory of his father's estate states, "... Ale x, late of Poland..." and, later, "...Goods set off to widow and child ren; Sale held 16 Apr 1833; it says Alex of Coitsville. Some of the b uyers were: Andrew Margaret Willia m and Alexander McFarlane...8-538: p artial settlement, mentions cash paid to Alex. McF Jr and Andrew McF " . (*2) John's name is not mentioned in his father's estate settlement (above) . This John may have died before his father Alexander's death in 1833 . Or, he may be the John McFarlane living in Poland near his brother A lexander McFarlane. If so, then h e was recently married and had a youn g daughter under five in 1840. No further information was found in the censuses for 1850, 1860, and 1 870.
