Mr. James MacFarlane, who was born circa 1759 in Scotland, and died there on 10 April 1823 at Dunfermline in Fife (buried there in the North Churchyard). According to the 'Annals of Dunfermline' The Rev. James MacFarlane was ordained as a colleague to his future father-in-law The Rev. James Husband, D.D. of the Secession Church in Queen Ann Street there in 1785 and they were still in harness together when The Rev. Dr. Husband, a native of St. Andrews, died on 17 May 1821 at Dunfermline in the seventieth year of his age and the forty-sixth of his ministry (buried in the grave of his famous predecessor The Rev. Ralph Erskine near the south-east corner of the North Churchyard); while the survivor died less than two years later in the sixty-fourth year of his age and the thirty-third of his ministry. He married (22 June 1801, Dunfermline) Miss Grizel Husband (baptised there 23 December 1779; died there 13 May 1816; buried there North Churchyard), daughter of The Rev. Dr. James Husband and his wife Margaret Wardlaw, Gentlewoman. They had issue nine children, two daughters and seven sons:" [from 'The barons of Arrochar and their cadets' a manuscript by Chevalier Terrance Gach MacFarlane Chapt. 5 - 21a] 2 - Tombstone at Dunfermline Abbey. 3 - I have the author's notes for the History of Clan M'F in my attic. The author, James Macfarlane, received two letters from Pollard cousins in 1913 which gave the Rev. James's father as James (the latter whom my cousin seems to have conflated with James son of Duncan). [CC139 grandson of Andrew of Ardess18th Baron, 15th chief] The letters show the 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. [E-mail from Terrance Gach MacFarlane to Scott Macfarlane Aust. cc'd to editor 6 Mar.2011]
