  • Notes 
    • 1 - Catherine Buie, the daughter of Donald Buie, was born on Jura ca. 1735. She married John McFarland and they lived in Cumberland County, North Carolina. After John McFarland's death, Catherine married John McNair (b. 1735, Kilkenny Parish Argyllshire, Scotland, d. 6-30-1819, Richmond Co., N.C.). In the Cumberland County court on April 28, 1775, John McNair was "appointed guardian of Daniel McFarland, Duncan McFarland, Dougald McFarland, John McFarland, and Margaret McFarland, children of John McFarland, deceased, he entering into bond with Hugh Brown, Archibald Buie, and Duncan Ray." Duncan McFarland lived in Richmond and Robeson Counties and was a member of Congress. He married Mary Porter.

      Catherine Buie, a widow and a Highland Scot. The daughter of Donald Buie of Jura, Catherine married John McNair when she was 38 years old, in 1773.
      Her first husband, a native of Scotland, was named John MacFarland, and they first settled in Cumberland County, NC. MacFarland had apparently bought some land in Scotland County, so John MacNair and Catherine Buie McFarland, when they married, moved from Cumberland County 30 miles south to what is now Scotland County.
      Sadly, the marriage of John McNair and Catherine lasted only 14 years, as she died in 1787 at the age of 52. He lived another 32 years, not dying until June 30, 1819 at the age of 84.
      Catherine Buie McNair and John McNair are buried in Old Laurel Hill MacFarland Cemetery in Scotland County, NC.
      Catherine left the land her husband had given her to son from her first marriage, Duncan McFarland. He donated it for the creation of Laurel Hill Presbyterian Church. He stipulated that there not be a cemetery on church property, so the family cemetery sits in the midst of a cotton field that adjoins the church.
