      SOURCE: "Genealogy of the Joseph and William McFarland Branches of the
      McFarland Family 1675 to 1910" by Thomas S. McFarland 1910 Cable, Ohio. Copy
      at Greene County Room, Greene County Genealogical Society. "Rebecca married
      Robert Roach, August 27, 1797, and moved from Pennsylvania to Virginia".

      CONFLICT: Perhaps book means moved from Virginia to Pennsylvania?

      MARRIAGE: Rockbridge County marriage records; says married with consent of
      father, Robert McFarland (indicating probably that she was under 21 years of
      age). Witnesses William and Thomas McFarland. Robert Roach to Rebecca
      McFarland 22 Aug 1787. Book 1787-024.

      LINKS-CENSUS: On the 1820 and 1830 census of all US, there are only two Robert
      Roach's. One in PA and one in VA. The one in PA is assumed to be the correct
      one.
