      1790 Peter McFarland on Tax List (from Peter's tree)
      1790 William McFarland on Tax List (from Peter's tree)
      1790 Thomas McFarland on tax list. (from Peter's tree)

      A Thomas McFarland marries Elizabeth Rose on April 30, 1796. This must be a different Thomas McFarland.

      So how is Thomas McFarland connected to Henry Horton?

      27 May 1797 Henry Horton to Thomas McFarlin Deed B06 P330

      Henry Horton of Orange to Thomas McFarlin of same 100 lbs, 77 ½ acres, on south side of Dyals Cr a branch of Flat R, begin at a white oak the E side of Flat R., a cor of Julius King, W with King’s line to a stake Archer Harris’ cor and King’s, N w ith Harris’ line to Black Oak spalin a cor of Harris and James walker of Dyals Cr., down creek to first station signed Henry (O) Horton; witness Alex McMullan, John McFarlan; proved Nov term 1797 by John McFarlan

      1798: Land Deed Thomas Mcfarlin sells to John Mcfarlain 77 1/2 acres on south side of Dials Creek, a branch of Flat River. Adj. to Julius king and Archer Harris. Wit. Joseph Britan and James Moore

      So, what this Thomas married to a Horton daughter? Why did he sell the land?

      Is this Thomas McFarland the same Thomas McFarland that appears in the Caswell Co. censuses from 1810 through 1840. He was born around 1771 to 1775, and died before the 1850 census. It looks like he and his wife had 5 children from 1800 to 1810.

      Thomas McFarland in Caswell Co. married Rachel Winters in 1796. So, this is another Thomas, but then who is this, and is he related?
