- Mary Helen Haines notes:
John's parents are uncertain. We know John married in Rockbridge in 1799 and appears in the tax list for the first time in 1800.
1810 census: John McFarland on Image 8/43, He has 3 males under 10, one male 16-25, one male 26-44. neighbors Hugh McCreary, Robert Anderson. Reuben Grigsby is 7/43
It is probable that this John was living on land that was part of the original tract of land purchased by Robert and Esther in 1778 from James Grigsby. Robert (1718-1797) did not have a son named Joseph, however the Joseph who appears in Rockbridge appears to be a son of Robert's nephew Robert, b. 1730 married to Margaret Jane. Joseph lived briefly in Rockbridge, as did his brother John. Both married in Rockbridge; Joseph to Margaret White and John to Jennie Moore. They then settled near their father Robert (1730) and brother Robert (1759) in Greene Co. TN before moving to Kentucky in the 1790s.
Another possible father for this John could be Robert's son Thomas who was living in Rockbridge after his brother William moved out to Kentucky. However, John and Mary Hayslett never named any of their sons Thomas, and Thomas was reputed to be a bachelor all his life. John's eldest son was named Alexander, so all is still speculation. We need a male Y-DNA tester from this line. Personally, I have an autosomal match with people who descend from this line through John's son Andrew who settled in West Virginia. This helps verify this John as being part of the BY3019 line unless a Y-DNA tester proves otherwise.
Below are the older notes from Gary Morris who descends from this line:
This is Gary Morris' line and his notes:
QUESTIONABLE LINK: Not sure the father of John was Joseph McFarland. However, since John was in Rockbridge county, and was born earlier, in Pennsylvania, then he must have made the migration from Peters Township, Cumberland (now Franklin) County, Pennsylvania to Rockbridge County, Virginia in 1778. All the names are accounted for, except for the children of Joseph McFarland, and John was likely a son of Joseph.
BIOGRAPHY: John McFarland was born about 1778 in (probably Peters Township), Cumberland (that part now in Franklin) County, Pennsylvania, son of Joseph McFarland (not absolutely proven, but extremely likely). As an infant, a year or so old, he moved with his parents (and a dozen or so other relatives) to Rockbridge County, Virginia. When John was a boy or early teens, his father apparently died, and John was probably raised by his grandfather and aunts and uncles, till he was about 17 or 20 years of age.
...When John was about 21 years of age he married Mary Hayslett, daughter of Andrew Hayslett, born about 1780/1783 in either Berkeley or Rockbridge County, Virginia. They had at least 13 children.
...Between 1810 and 1820 John and Mary and family moved a few miles west, to Bath County, Virginia, where they resided for 10 to 15 years, and moved far west between 1825 and 1830 to Morgan Township, Gallia County, Ohio. They resided there the rest of their lives, Mary dying between 1840 and 1850 and John dying sometime after 1860.
