• Notes

  Daniel McFarland spent his life as a farmer mostly in the town of Jackson : was a soldier in the war of 1812. He was closely allied to the promotion of the best interests of society in his day ; was an elder in the Scotch Presbyterian church at Coila, town of Cambridge, for many years ; raised a family of five children, viz. : John A., Margaret, William, Robert, and James, of whom Margaret died in the year 1850, at the .age of twenty-four, and Robert died in the year 1854, at the same age. The father of these children was a man of strong decision of character, inheriting from his Scotch ancestry that firmness and resolution to do whatever he conceived to be right characteristic of the people of the mother-land, and instructed and reared his children to respect and honor all that makes true manhood and secures happiness and longevity. He died at the age of seventy-six, in the year 1869. The wife and mother still survives, and in the year 1878 is in her seventy-ninth year, retaining that vigor of both body and mind uncommon to people of that advanced age.
