• Notes

  MHH notes: The records that I have found for James McFarland, son of Robert McFarland consist of: Jefferson Co. TN 1800: Jan. James McFarland purchases 10 acres for $27. On Mill Creek from Wm. Rorex, adjacent Robert McFarland, part of the tract granted Robert but sold to Rorex. Witness Robert McF. and John McFarland. Vol. E, p. 29 Jefferson Co. 1803: Oct. 17, Robert McFarland deed to James McFarland, 150 acres for $50. On Outlaw's Mill Creek adj. Wm. Rorax, Robert McFarland, Charles Hodge, James McFarland. Vol. G, p. 17. Jefferson Co. Not sure if the next records in Greene Co. are for the same James McFarland. 1805: James McFarland buying 120 acres of land from Elijah Willoughby. Book 8, p. 92 Greene Co. TN (FHL #944411) 1809: James McFarland on tax list for Greene Co. in Capt Joseph Kirk's Co. 1815: Polly Willoughby (16) and Anne Willoughby (14) chose James McFarland as guardian. Also he is guardian to John and Eliz. Willoughby, minors under 14. (Greene County Tenn. Guardians, and Orphans Court Records, 1783-1870, by Sandra Kelton Houston, p. 107 ) Now, back in Jefferson Co. TN Page 99: #2394: James McFarland enters 16 acres in Jefferson County on the Sinking Fork of Long Creek adj. Benjamin McFarland Sr. Part of Cert No. 1018 for 50 acres issued 01 Aug 1815 to Samuel Nicholson. Entered 13 Feb 1821, James McFarland. (Not sure if this is the same James McFarland) He is mentioned in his father's will written in 1836. One researcher noted that when his father died in 1837, James was living in Carroll Co. GA according to the will record. It appears that he has a son born 1805 in TN. who married Elizabeth Harrison born in NC on Feb. 27, 1834 in Carroll Co. GA. They are present in the 1840 census in Carroll Co. Are they the same James and Elizabeth present in Murray County in the 1850 census?
