• Notes

  1 - 18d. Capt. William MacFarlane, who was born circa 1673 in Scotland, and married Miss Govan of Buchapel, daughter of ___ Govan of Buchapel, but died without surviving issue. (Chapter 1: The barons of Arrochar) 2 - The fourth son, William, also an officer in the army, married but left no surviving issue. (History of Clan MacFarlane by James MacFarlane 1922) 2 - 23 August 1755 Alexander McFarlane will names uncle William McFarlane of Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland; mother Helen Spottiswood and brother John Spottiswood of Spottiswoode, Berwickshire, Scotland; cousin Andrew McFarlane, St. Mary's Parish, Jamaica; widow of Robert McFarlane, late shopkeeper in Salt Markett St., Glasgow; cousin Duncan McFarlane; brother Walter McFarlan of Scotland; brother William McFarlan of Edinburgh (Jamaica Wills, 30:72). (McFarlane Chronology Scotland (with a few early American & Jamaican records) [http://lib-operations.sonoma.edu/fin/aaa-0059.html ] 3 - https://www.familysearch.org/tree/pedigree/landscape/LZ8N-3VM tries to link this William, husband of Janet Barr, as son of Andrew MacFarlane of Ardess 18th of Arrochar & his second wife Jean Campbell. This appears to be a bad connection as their son William dsps aft. Aug. 1755. I have added Janet Barr as a second wife pending further investigation. The dsps may relate to his first wife.-Ed.
