Mary Helen Haines notes:
It is not known positively that the Mary McFarland who married Samuel Montgomery and moved to Indiana is the daughter of this Robert McFarland; however, the timing and proximity, and lack of other options makes this the best bet.
However, I do think it is possible that she is the unknown (so far) daughter of Robert McFarland, born 1730, son of John McFarland and Mary Montgomery.
In 1772 Robert McFarland, b. 1730, son of John and Mary Montgomery McFarland, received 85 acres of land on Cedar Run, a branch of Reed Creek from the will of Samuel Crockett. He moved to this land, and lived here for 10 years. In 1772 this land was in Botetourt Co, but it is the same area that they first settled in. This land was never recorded as a deed, but is recorded in the Augusta County Will Book 3, p. 506, when Joseph Crockett willed it to his son Samuel, and then Samuel willed it to Robert in 1772. This acreage later became the town of Evansham, which was renamed Wytheville.
