Notes - Goodspeed's for South East Missouri has an article about Andrew J. McFarland on page 875. " Andrew J. McFarland, farmer who was born in Madison County, Mo., in 1837, is a son of Arthur and Louisa (Morrow) McFarland, and grandson of John McFarland, a native of Virginia, who immigrated to Christian County, Kentucky at an early age. Arthur McFarland was born in Christian county, Ky. in 1795 and was of Scotch-Irish descent. He left his native county and State in 1816, and began working at the Mine La Motte mines, but in connection with this followed farming until 1832, when her married Miss Louisa Morrow, who was born in the territory of Upper Louisiana in 1810. Her father Thomas Morrow, who was of Irish descent was born in 1773 in Canada, and came to Missouri about 1797. He settled at St. Charles, while there he was married. In 1803 he moved to Farmington Mo., and a year later he settled six miles southwest of St. Michael (now Fredericktown). He died in 1867. Arthur McFarland settles three miles west of Fredericktown after his marriage, and was occupied the principal part of his life in tilling the soil. He died in 1881. Mr. McFarland and Mr. Morrow were two of the pioneer settlers of Southeast Missouri, and especially Madison County. Mrs. Louisa McFarland is yet living and has a remarkably good memory, relating facts with accuracy that occured when she was a little girl. She is the mother of eight children, six now living: Andrew J, James E, Mary Jane, Martha Ann (wife of Bynum Maze), Eliza E. and Henry B.W. Andrew J. attained his majority on the farm and in 1850 married Miss Sarah F. daughter of John M. Gholson. Mrs. McFarland was born in the house in which she now resides in 1840, and by her marriage became the mother of two children-William A. and John G.
Mr. McFarland has resided in his native county all his life, and has never lived over six and one half miles from Fredericktown. He has made his home three years where he now resides. He is a sucessful farmer, and now owns 195 acres of land. He is politically a Democrat, casting his first vote for J.C. Bell in 1860. He and his wife have been members of the Methodist Episcopal Church South for the past twenty years. His mother has also been a member of the same church for forty years."
In 1910 Andrew McFarland is living in Castor township, Madison Co. with his two sisters and his aunt Elizabeth Morrow.
Another source says he (John McFarland) married February 23, 1798 in Christian Co. KY to Elizabeth Turnheart.
