• Notes

  Mary Helen Haines notes: Reuben A. is found living next to David McFarland in the 1830 census in Cooper Co. MO. Because of David's early death, no one seems to have put together a list of David and Margaret's other children, at least in published family trees. So my reasoning for putting Rueben A. with David is as follows: In 1840, Reuben A. is now living in Pettis Co. MO, near George, Andrew, and John Cathey. He is living next to John E. Crawford, who was married to Sally Elvira McFarland, daugther of William and Susannah George McFarland.There is also a Jeremiah Jack and a David McGhee on the same page, Image 19 of 26, stamped #42. In 1850 he is still there, and his children's name are the giveaway to the connection to David and Margaret. He then moves his family to Linn Co. Oregon. Because there are three Reuben A. McFarlands from this time period they have been mixed up and together before. However, one Reuben A. stays in Cooper Co. MO. till his death, and the other in St. Francois Co. MO.
