  • Notes 
    • Mary Helen Haines Notes about David McFarlin/McFarlane, weaver.
      I do not believe now that Archibald and Margaret Rodgers MacFarlane were his parents. I think that the reason we cannot find any birth or marriage records is that this family was Free Church, so the records are not there. Also very unusual is the lack of census records in Scotland in 1841. Maybe the name was spelled very differently. I have not seen the Johnston, Renfrewshire records, so cannot verify this birth location for the children.

      "He married Janet Millar in 1826 in Paisley, Renfrewshire. His children, up to 1844 were all born in Johnston, Renfrewshire before coming to Puslinch. When he arrived, John McFarlane, with his store on Brock Road, rented out his barn for David’s family to live and where David set up his weaving shop. David was a witness for John McFarlane’s 1848 will, and he is living in the same place in the 1851 census. His son David, born 1829, is in the same household working as a school teacher. By 1861 most of the family had moved to the United States, which had to be the worst timing to do so. Several sons were recruited to the military, one died in battle, and the remainder moved to Norfolk, Virginia where they can be found in the 1870 census. David is still listed as a weaver, living with son James, a carpenter, and their children. David died in 1878 and is buried in Norfolk.
      Son, David Jr., the school teacher, married Elizabeth Black in Puslinch, and stayed in Canada. They were present in the 1861 census, living in the same location that the family lived in 1851. A map was created in 1861 of the occupants of Puslinch township. The Red Star below marks the place where they lived, and it is the same place where Elizabeth Macfarlane patented 100 acres in 1866 (Green Star in concession map). I don’t know why it wasn’t done in her husband’s name. " This comes from the article published in the Loch Sloy on Puslinch Ontario McFarlanes.
