  • Notes 


    • In 1812 Thorton McFarland is listed as being in the 2nd Co. Orange Co. Regiment. In 1814 he is listed as bing in the 1st Regiment.

      Does not show in the 1810 census, but in 1820 he is in Orange Co. p. 398.

      In 1830 Thorton McFarland is on p. 42 of the Granville Co. NC South Regiment Census. He was born bet. 1790 and 1800 and is near Richard Umstead Henry Wheeler, and William Jones. there are 4 males, the oldest 30 to 40, then 1 under 5, 1 is 5 to 10
      , 1 is 10-15. Females: 1 under 5, 1 is 5 to 10, wife is 20 to 30. He is on the same page as Larkin McFarland.

      On page 43 is William McFarland, born 1790 to 1800.
      Page 45 is Nancy McFarland, born 1780 to 1790. The widow of James McFarland.

      Do not know Thorton's father. At first I speculated it to be William, because his first named son is William. However, it could be Larkin Sr. by a first wife before Patsy Madison.

      He is in Carroll Co. TN in 1840.

      In 1850 he is in Gibson Co. next to William, (born 1818 in NC) who would appear to be his son.

      In 1860 he is in Gibson Co. , HopeHill on same page as Willliam.

      In 1870 he is in Gibson Co., next to William
