  • Notes 
    • History of Clan MacFarlane by Mrs C M Little shows John has children, John, Parlan, George, William & 3 daughters but doesn't name a wife.

      1 - An IGI search of Stirlingshire births shows most likely mother to have been a Cathrine Mcfarlane. IGI shows she and John had sons John, Alexander, Peter, Parlan, Duncan, Walter, George & daughters Mary, Janet, Jean & Helen.

      We have to assume transposition of Walter for William and early deaths of Alexander, Duncan, Peter and one of the daughters to end up with surviving children mentioned in Mrs Little's History.

      This is made more interesting by IGI search of Buchanan parish marriages for John Mcfarlane and Cathrine Mcfarlane, to find there were three in the timeframe meaning these children could be spread amoung all three marriages.
      John Mcfarlane
      marriage: 11 June 1774 Buchanan,Stirling,Scotland
      spouse: Cathrine Mcfarlane

      John Mcfarlan
      marriage: 22 July 1775 Buchanan,Stirling,Scotland
      spouse: Cathrine Mcfarlan

      John Mcfarlane
      marriage: 15 November 1800 Buchanan,Stirling,Scotland
      spouse: Cathrine Mcfarlane

      2 - 48 John MACFARLANE weaver Arrochyluig, w Cathrine MACFARLANE 1.10.1791 39 , chn
      [M. I. - New Buchanan churchyard]

      There appear to have been two couples called John & Cathrine MacFarlane in the same parish who married within a year of each other. It will be impossible to say which children belong to which set of parents.

      (Research):Assuming Killearn marriage was a banns of this marriage and no Catherines born there in timeframe it is assumed it was the home parish of the groom and the only IGI return in time frame is

      christening: 17 February 1751, KILLEARN, STIRLING, SCOTLAND
