  • Notes 
    • Mary Helen Haines speculations:

      I believe this unnamed person is the brother to Duncan, Joseph, and George McFarland of Whitley and Knox Co. KY. A descendant of Barnabas is connected DNA to Duncan and George descendants by Y-DNA and by autosomal DNA. He is also connected by autosomal DNA to descendants of the Gullion family.

      The names of Barnabas and Duncan could be from the influence of the Gullion family of Wythe Co. VA. The Gullion family were neighbors to the McFarlands there in the 1770s. Joseph McFarland married a sister of Duncan Gullion. As late as 1828 an unknown George McFarland married a Polly Gullion in Wythe Co. and there were no McFarlands living in the area at the time.

      This unknown McFarland stayed in Virginia until after the birth of daughter Mahala, but moved to KY before birth of Barnabas in 1825. Mother Mary Ann is a widow in Whitley Co. KY by the 1830 census.

      Need to research all court minutes and deed records for the 1820s in Knox and Whitley counties.
