  • Notes 
    • Mary Helen Haines notes:
      There had been confusion about this Joseph McFarland. It was not until it became clear that Robert, b. 1730 had several more children unaccounted for, that it became obvious that the Joseph who patented land in 1783 in Greene Co. near Robert McFarland, and sold this land in 1792, was the cousin that Thomas Sims McFarland was referring to. Joseph and his brother John both lived in Rockbridge Co. briefly and married there. They then moved to Greene Co. (now Jefferson and Cocke Co.) near their siblings and father Robert Sr. (b. 1730). They sold their land and moved to Kentucky in the 1790s. Father Robert went to visit them, taking the family Bible. He died on the road, the Bible was lost, therefore the only sons anyone accounted for were the sons who stayed living in Jefferson Co.


      From
      Thomas Sims McFarland:

      Simultaneously with the removal of my grandfather to Kentucky, came Joseph McFarland, a cousin, and also a brother-in-law, having married Margaret White. The family consisted of twelve children. Joseph purchased land adjoining that of grandfather's , on the north side. The family came to Ohio in 1809 and settled near Cedarville, Greene county. In a few years, several of the family with those of my grandfather, with whom they intermingled in marriage, moved to Adams county, Illinois, near what is now Camp Point, in 1822, and formed a nucleus, around which gathered hundreds of McFarlands, many still living in the same locality. My grandfather, William McFarland, served one year in the Revolutionary war, near the close.

      Of the Joseph McFarland family, a cousin and brother-in-law of my grandfather, there were twelve children, namely Katharine, married John McFarland, born October 3rd 1782, and died in Adams county, Illinois. Robert, born April 1st 1784; Polly, April 1st, 1786; John A., born April 3rd, 1788; Joseph, born Sept. 3rd, 1790; Margaret, born Jan.12th., 1793; Tabitha, born June 28th, 1797, married John White; Martha born Nov. 8th, 1798, never married; James, born Sept.3rd, 1803; Priscilla, born Nov.8th., 1807, married George Currey, near Cedarville, Ohio, one child, now Mrs. James Milburn, of Cedarville; Thirza, born August 28th, 1809, married Uriah Lawrence. Joseph, the father, was born Feb.4th, 1761, and died Nov. 3rd, 1839, buried near Cedarville, Ohio. Margaret, his wife, was born May 8th, 1763, died Nov. 3rd, 1834.

      McFarland Family 1675 to 1910" by Thomas S. McFarland 1910 Cable, Ohio. Copy

      with the removal of my grandfather to Kentucky, came Joseph McFarland, a
      cousin, and also a brother-in-law, having married Margaret White. Joseph
      purchased land adjoining that of grandfather's on the north side. The family
      came to Ohio in 1809 and settled near Cedarville, Green County."

      genealogical data, 1675-1923", Joseph Dunlap. 35 pages. Microfilm copy at FHC
      (film #1320635, item 81). Joseph McFarland was a cousin of William (son of
      Robert and Ester Houston), was born in 1761. Married Margaret White, born in
      1763, a sister of Rebecca White, and daughter of John White and Katherine
      EVANS. They first moved to Tennessee. In 1796 William and Joseph (cousins) and
      their families moved to near Cynthiana, north of Lexington, Kentucky. Joseph
      and wife Margaret and younger children moved to Greene County, Ohio, near
      Cedarville in 1809. Margaret died there in 1834 and Joseph died there in 1839.
      They were both buried in Cedarville Church Yard in Green County, Ohio

      SOURCE: (From James McFarland Email) Chalkelys Scotch Irish of Virginia: Vol
      1(II??) page 437 states that Margret White married James McFarland in later
      Rockbridge Co. Another Email states that James married Rebecca White and
      William married Margaret White. Their names are plainly written on the civil
      lawsuit papers on file in Augusta County, VA. (NOTE: By Gary Morris. Since
      it is questionable that another McFarland married a Margaret McFarland, it
      seems suspicious enough to double check the original source. Chalkelys is
      known for errors. Perhaps he transcribed Jas. as James, when the original
      entry may have been Jos. for Joseph. Needs to be confirmed, as there is
      reasonable doubt.
