  • Notes 
    • WILLIAM MACFARLANE, first son of David MacFarlane and Janet Millar, was b. in the village of Johnstone, Scotland, Apr. 30, 1828. This is a small hamlet situated 3 miles west of Paisley. Dwelling houses were known to be nicely made, slated roofs and two stories high. Cotton was the chief industry, and after a very.rapid growth, the town became a very large city. William left Scotland with his parents in 1842, settling in Puslinch, Ontario, Canada. He married Flora Campbell, who was born Mar. 12, 1830, at Paisley, Scotland. They were married about 1850. They are listed in the 1861 census of Owensound with their first 4 children, occupation as that of a farmer and as members of the Disciples of Christ Church, which was founded by Alexander Campbell. Leaving Ontario about 1869, they 'William and his family' migrated to the Red River Valley, and William worked for the Hudson Bay Trading Company, which was then at Fort Gary, now Winnipeg. In the latter years of their lives, they made their home with their youngest son Duncan, and earlier, Flora spent many years with the daughter, Flora MacFarlane Grieve. William died May 26, 1904 and Flora died Sept. 6, 1913, at Holton, Kansas. Both are buried in the Old Baptist churchyard cemetery, at Auburn, Nebraska. They were parents of 9 children comprising the 5th generation: David b. Oct. 2, 1850; Flora b. Jul. 20, 1853; John b.1854, d. 1910; William b. 1856; Archibald Campbell b. Nov 10, 1859; William Daniel b. Dec. 8, 1861; Jeannette b. 1863, d.1883; Margaret b. May 1866; and Duncan b. Oct. 26, 1868.
