  • Notes 
    • William was a veteran from war of 1812
      Info taken from will 28 may 1822

      MHH notes:
      From The Kentucky Land Grants, by Willard Rouse Jillson, Vol. 1, p. 373 from section labeled Grants South of Green River, William McFarland made a 50 acre grant, Book 5, p. 208, in Muhlenberg Co., Cypress Creek on Oct. 4, 1804.

      1850 census he is living in Henry Co., Tennessee with wife and the youngest children. His son William R. is living next to him.

      Dawn notes:
      By the way, the 3 McFarland brothers, sons of John and Jenny all served in War of 1812 in the Battle of the Thames Campaign, 7th Kentucky Volunteer Regiment, including William, John, Jr., and Andrew. They all served under a Ewing, William and Alexander, under a different Ewing brother. John, Jr. may have served under Finis Ewing; I am still researching that, but he definitely served. His land in Wabash County was apparently a reward for service.
