• Notes

  Mary Helen Haines notes. Deeds supplied by Susan Pavlech I am making an assumption: One is that this William is the son of William and Keziah, and that he is the William Jr. in the 1790 census. Since it calls him William Jr. that would assume that William Sr. is alive. Where is he? Two: This William McFarland lived near Henry Horton, is the same man that married Henry's daughter Sarah and is the father of two children, William and James, mentioned in Henry Horton's will. 3 Aug 1778 Wm McFarland enters a claim to 400 acres land lying in Orange County on the east side of Flat River bounded on the west by Flat River aforesaid on the north by land of (can’t read) and on the south by a claim of Henry Horton includin g his improvement. From LDS land records Orange County familysearch.org If Wm. McF. Jr. was born in 1760, he would only be 18 yrs. old at this time. So, more than likely, it is his father who has patented the land. 15 Nov 1778 State land grants NC In 1779 tax list is William Mc Farling, Peter Mc Farling and Thomas Mc Farling. So, this would be the William who patents the land. Issued 13 mar 1780 entry no 466 William McFarling entered for 400 acres, issued for 370 acres, survery 13 Aug 177?. Peter McFarling & Thos McFarling SCC (Sworn Chain Carriers) on the east side of Flat River bounded on the west by Flat River aforesaid on the east by land o f Peter King on the north by land of John Brown and on the south by a claim of Henry Horton including his improvement. Peter and Thomas being the older sons of William. So, circumstantial evidence would lead to the assumption that this William is the younger brother to Peter and Thomas. In 1790 NC census in Orange is Keziah McFarlin, Thomas McFarlin and Wm. McFarlin Jr. on page 096. On page 094 is Walker McFarland. So, William McFarlin Sr. is alive, but missing? Is the William McFarlin in York Co. SC the missing father? William's patent neighbor is Henry Hunt. Henry Hunt moves to Wilson Co. TN before 1820. Henry Hunt married Ann Taylor. Henry died in 1825 in Wilson Co. TN where he left a will naming his children. One of them Jesse Hunt is the next door neighbor to the McFarlands in the 1850 and 1860 cen suses in Wilson Co. TN. I believe that William McFarland, who moved to Wilson Co. TN was living on the land grant in Orange Co. that abutted Henry Hunt, therefore, he was either the person who claimed the land, or he inherited the land from his namesake father. I don't know where he is in the 1800 and 1810 censuses. In 1820 he is in Orange Co. NC. He is over 45. 1 male under 10 (Robert), one male 10 to 16 (Ira), 2 females under 10, 2 females 10 to 16, one female 26 to 45, one over 45. Jesse McFarland is living next to him. In 1830 he is in Wilson Co. TN. He is bet. 60 and 70. Has 2 boys: one is 20 to 30, one is 15 to 20. This corresponds to Ira and Robert. There are 6 women. The oldest is 40 to 50, one 30 to 40, two are 20 to 30, one is 15 to 20, and one 10 to 15. ( Don't know where his wife is-has she died, or is this another younger wife?) In 1840 he is in Wilson Co. TN. He is bet. 70 and 80. He is living with 2 women 40 to 50 (Sibby and Christina prob.)and one woman 70 to 80 (Catherine). His son Robert is livng near, aged 30 to 40. On page with all the Hunts and Alford Canady. 1850 he is dead. Living in the household is Catherine McFarland, 80, Sibbie 53 and Christina 43, all born in NC. Jesse Hunt is next door, and Robert McFarland is a few doors down. Ira is in Wilson Co. according to the slave schedule, but his recor d cannot be found. OBJE: _TEXT Location: Orange Co. NC
