• Notes

  Mary Helen Haines notes: There is some confusion as to the two George Washington McFarlands. One is the son of Jacob and Nancy Cathey McFarland, born October 18, 1809 in Haywood Co. NC. The other is George Washington McFarland, born Jan. 25, 1809 in Haywood, son of James Ray and Frances Webb McFarland. It seems that this is the correct matching, and there is no record of what happens to the child of Jacob and Nancy. Most trees have that George Washington married Anna Clarkson, Dec. 16, 1831 in Missouri City, Ft. Bend Co. TX. This is outside Houston TX. I have not seen a marriage certificate with this fact, but it seems awfully strange. However, there is no record of their marriage in Cooper County, where it most likely would have taken place. The trees also have that her parents are John Clarkson (1778-1838) and Mary Webb (1788-1870). In the 1830 census in Cooper Co. Mo there is a John Clarkson on p. 208. Jacob and Nancy Cathey McFarland are on p. 212. James Ray and Frances Webb McFarland are on p. 230. Is Frances Webb, born 1772 a sister of Mary Webb? It seems that she could be related. I have found the census records that seem to correctly place this George Washington McFarland. In 1840, George W. McFarland is living in Tebo township, Rives Co. MO, age 30-39 with wife 20-29. On same page is a Wm. Clarkson age 30-39, and on previous page is a John Clarkson, same age range as Wm. In 1840 Rives Co. becomes Henry county and the St. Clair County is created from a section of Henry. In 1850 George is living in St. Clair Co., MO working as a gunsmith with his wife Ann and family. Also in the same county is Mary Clarkson, living with her son Merritt Clarkson. In 1860 Mary and son Merritt Clarkson are in Lamar Co. TX. In 1860 the George McFarland family is in Cass County, living next to Sarah Hix McFarland, widow of Alexander McFarland, George's brother. 1860 census: Sugar Creek township, Cass Co. MO P.O. Austin, Image 12/48 p. 38 fam. 260: Sarah McFarland 58 KY, Nancy K 26 MO, Robert S. 19 MO, Martha E 16 MO, Alex. J.T.B. 12 MO. next door is fam. 259 Geo W. McFarland 51 NC, Anna 47 KY, Elizabeth 18 MO, John 16 MO, John J. Gillet 25 MO, Martha J. 21 MO George W. 2 MO and John G. 4/12 MO. In 1870 the family is living in Round Prairie, Benton Co. Arkansas, and by the birthdates of the grandchildren, it indicates the move took place abt. 1869. Round Prairie, Benton Co. Arkansas P.O. Boudiville p. 65, stamped 302, fam. #437: George Mcfarlin 61 NC farmer 1000, 125, Anna Mcfarlin 57 KY, Wm. Davis 23 MO, Melvina Davis 2 MO, Robert Davis 8 months Ark.
