• Notes

  Mary Helen Haines notes: Joseph's death record in Kentucky states his death date, his parents James and Ety (probably Ely) McFarland, and age 76, and place of death, Meadow Creek, and birth in Jefferson Co. TN. Since there was no Jefferson Co. TN in 1776, this is probably referring to where he lived prior to moving to Whitley Co. KY. There is a record of him being buried at the Coffee or Joseph McFarland Cemetery with the dates 1778- 3 Mar. 1852. Also there an Edith McFarland, 1803-3 Mar 1853 age 50 years. (a daughter?) Not sure about the 1830 census record below. Why would he be in TN and all his children are born in KY. A Joseph shows up in Jefferson Co. TN in the 1830 census: #543, image 41/134 with: 2 males under 5, George and Benjamin 1 male 5 thru 9, 1 male 10 thru 14, 1 male 15 thru 19, 1 male 50 thru 59,= Joseph 1 fem. under 5, 1 fem. 10 thru 14, 1 fem. 15 thru 19, 1 fem. 30 thru 39 = Elizabeth Joseph is in Whitley Co. TN in the 1840 census: 2 males 10 - 15, = George and Benjamin 2 males 15 - 20, 1 male 60 - 70, = Joseph 1 female under 5, 1 fem. 5 - 10, = Clarisy 1 fem. 15 - 20, = Ailsy 1 fem. 40 - 50. = Elizabeth 1850 census: Whitley Co. KY, Fam. 360: Joseph McFarland, 85, TN Elizabeth, 50, TN George 23, KY Benjamin 20, KY Ailsy 17, KY Clarisy 15, KY Not sure how to reconcile the place of birth of the youngest children with their presence in the 1830 census in Jefferson Co. TN. Next to him, Fam. 361 is Joseph, 26, KY with wife Cynthia 23, KY, children Baker, 5, Jasper, 7, Joseph, 2, all KY.
