• Notes

  Duncan McFarland arrived in Massachusetts in 1718 as part of the migration of Scots-Irish that came to Boston that year and then moved to Worcester/Rutland. It is often stated that he is the brother of Daniel McFarland (1665-1738) who settled and stayed in Worcester. The children listed here are all in his will.
