      There is no William McFarland in the Tennessee census in 1830 that fits.

      Some sources say he died Sept 10, 1825 in Texas (which would have been a part of Mexico at that time). Have no knowledge of this. However, if that is the case, then when his father wrote his will in 1836, he did not know that William was not alive. That seems very strange.

      Trees on Ancestry say he was married to Mary Kain McNutt, who was found in the 1850 census in Knox Co. living next to a Robert A. McNutt, age 30. Trees also list 3 children to William and Mary: Cathrine Kain McFarland 1815-1875; Margaret 1818-1859; Mary Jane 1820-1906. The 1850 census lists Mary with two girls: Ann E., born 1823, and Sarah G. born 1825.

      Letter to Mary T. Haines lists this information about the family:
      children: Katherine Kain married Robt. Love
      Margaret married F.A.R. McNutt
      Mary Jane married Robt. McNutt
      Ann Eliza married Samuel McCall
      Sarah married Amos Pickle
