      Research by Thekla M. STAHR.

      2 - The Macfarlanes of Huntingdon, Province of Quebec
      The record of this family is preserved in the form of a manuscript, prepared by Mr. Donald Macfarlane, who was born in Scotland, May, 1746, and died Nov. 8, 1835.
      The claim of direct descent from MacFarlane of Gartartan, in Perthshire, Scotland, is fortified by the Bible records of the family, also from original "Burgess Tickets" of parchment, showing that for five generations preceding the abovementioned f amily, the heads of each generation mentioned as "son of, " were burgesses of the city of Glasgow.
      The writing of Mr. Donald Macfarlane states that Walter, eldest son of Sir John Macfarlane, by his second wife, a daughter of Lord Herries, got from his father the estate of Dulator, near Port of Menteith. One of his sons lived at Halbertshire, ne ar Denny, Stirlingshire, and had a family. One of his sons went to Ballawell, near Buchlyvie; he had sons, Parlan and George.
      Parlan had three sons, John, Alexander and Donald, and daughters, Mary and Janet. George had one daughter, who had a large family. He (George) died at the age of 105 years.
      Donald Macfarlane, born May, 1746; died Nov. 1835; married Mary McNee, Dec. 13, 1782. She was born at Rednock, Scotland, May, 1765. They had fifteen children:
      Donald, the father of these children, died at the age of 91 years, on the farm of Braecessinttilly, Scotland, which he had occupied for nearly fifty years. All of his fifteen children lived to be men and women, and often all dined together on fest al occasions.
      [Mrs C. M. Little's History p221-2]

      3 - MCNEE FAMILY TREE Owner: Holly Stevens suggests parents as Parlane McFarlane and Elizabeth McLeran who had a son Donald b. May 1744 Comrie, Perthshire.
      Holly says "I did not find ANY Donald born anywhere to a Parlan between 1740 and 1755 other than the Donald born in 1751 Comrie Parish to Parlan McFarlane and Elizabeth McLeran".
