• Notes

  Hetty Hart MacFarland was born 16 December 1862 at Hartford, Connecticut. She died of broncho-pneumonia and peritonitis on 12 April 1904 at New York Hospital, New York city, and was buried in the MacFarland family plot at the Moravian Cemetery, St aten Island, New York city. She was married 25 January 1883 at St. John's Church, Staten Island, New York city, by Rev. Dr. J.C. Ecclleston to William Ponsonby Furniss, son of William Furniss and Louise Chollet.[35] A newspaper article in the New York Times on 26 January 188 3 about the wedding of Hetty Hart MacFarland read as follows: "A WEDDING AT CLIFTON. Miss Hetty Hart MacFarland, daughter of W.W. MacFarland, the prominent lawyer of this City, was married at 12 o'clock yesterday, to Mr. William Ponsonby Furniss , grandson of the late Mr. William Furniss, at St. John's Church, Clifton, Staten Island. The presents were of great number and very valuable. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. Ecclesine. The ushers were Mr. David Marsh, Mr. Henry Emerso n and Mr. Charles Phinnez. Mr. R. H. MacFarland, brother of the bride, was best man. The bride entered the church on the arm of her father, who gave her away. At the altar they were met by the groom and his best man. There were no brides-maids. Th e bride wore a simple brown dress. No reception was held but a wedding breakfast was given before the marriage at Arrochar, the residence of the bride's parents. After the service the newly married pair started on their way to Lakewood, N.J., when ce they will depart soon for the south. Among those present at the church were Mr. and Mrs. Ripley, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lord, Mrs. and Miss Marsh, Mrs. Cyrus Clark, Miss Clark, Mrs. Fitzhugh Mayo, Miss Cuthbertson, Mrs. Harry Butler, Miss Butler, M r. Bayard Halsted, Mr. David Halsted, Mrs Greenfield and Mrs. Dr. Feeny." The reference to Hetty Hart MacFarland's marriage on 16 December 1882 made by C. M. Little is in error. In 1894 Hetty Hart MacFarland obtained injunctions against her husband who had begun divorce actions in New Jersey.[38] After the divorce, Hetty Hart and her children lived with her parents at Arrochar, Staten Island. Their presence their was conf irmed in the 1900 census. In the 1900 census Hetty Hart was listed as a "widow" probably to hide the fact of her divorced status. The 1900 census also listed her occupation as an antique dealer. (Research):http://freepages.family.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~furnissvohsfamilies/Spencer/Spencer.html
