  • Notes 
    • Mary Helen Haines notes:
      A descendant of the line of Andrew and Roseanna McFarland took the Y-DNA test and is a match with this line of Robert McFarland (died 1751) of Lancaster Co. While the line of James McFarland of Pennsboro twn. Cumberland Co. is related to this line, the match is much closer for Robert's line. Therefore the note below under QUESTIONABLE LINK is answered, and John is put in the correct lineage here.

      Older notes:

      QUESTIONABLE LINK: Was the John McFarland, son of Joseph, the same as the one
      who died in Ohio Co, WV??
      Note the similarity of this John and Elizabeth to that of John and Elizabeth,
      son of James and Janet (Buchanan) McFarlane.

      LINKS-TAXLIST: 1772 PENNSYLVANIA, Bedford County. Jno McFarling. (NOTE: At
      this time Bedford would include all counties now in SW Pennsylvania,with
      Westmoreland being created in 1773 (Westmoreland would have included
      Washington, Greene, Fayette).

      PROBATE: "Early West Virginia Wills" Compiled by K.T.H. McFarland 1993, found

      Elizabeth. Children - Margaret (wife of James Wilson), Sally (wife of
      Robert Atkinson), Elizabeth, Jane, Robert, Andy, John, Samuel, Joseph, and
      Ezekial. Grandson Joseph Wilson. Witness Samuel Steely, Walter Denny. Dated
      May 30, 1797. [!!!!! NOTE: Where did son Joseph come from -- not found in
      other records. Joseph is probably in reference to grandson, Joseph, son of
      James and Margaret Wilson, or he is the Joseph McFarland of Ohio County, WV and
      Coschocton Co, Ohio].

      County, WV Dev: James, Marg Wilson, Robert Atkinson, Eliz., Sally, Andy, John,
      Samuel, Joseph, Ezekial. [!!!!!!MY NOTE: This record seems to be incorrect.
      James is probably in reference to James Wilson, husband of Marg Wilson. Son
      Robert, and daughter Jane, are not mentioned here. Also, Joseph is mentioned,
      but not found elsewhere. Joseph is probably grandson Joseph, son of James and
      Margaret Wilson, or he is the Joseph of Ohio County, WV and Coschocton County,
      WV ].
