- Mary Helen Haines notes:
John Deaver does not appear to be living independently in the 1820 or 1830 censuses. There is an Elijah, Elijah Jr., a William and a Thomas Dever in those censuses. Maybe the land that William Deaver purchased from John McFarland (the land that is present day Canton, starting at the "meeting house" which would be the Baptist meeting house, and I believe, the old residence of John McFarland who was married to Mary Kinder).
1840 in Crawford Co. MO census
1850 in Sherman, Grayson Co. TX
In Franklin Co. Missouri a John McFarland Deaver married Mary Bennett Hughes on March 29, 1838. Both of Franklin Co. Married by V.P. Frank,, Minister of God. Is this a son? It would seem so. A J.M. Deaver (20 to 30) is living next to John Deaver (40 to 50) in Liberty twnship, Crawford Co., MO in 1840 census.
Land Record: On May 23, 1854, John Deaver entered a claim, 3rd class, Cert. 402, for 640 acres in Grayson Co., Patent #207. A John B. Deaver served in the Civil War as Sergeant in Co. B of the 22nd Cavalry that all the McFarlands served in.

Hi Mary,
Greetings from David, Chiriqui, Panama
I grew up in the Collinsville/Whitesboro area of Grayson County.
My line
John Clement born 1939
Nina Deaver Clement born 1908
John Vestal Deaver born 1866
John Arthur Deaver born 1838
John Deaver married Rebecca McFarland...in your Fourth Generation.
John Deaver lived north of Collinsville. He was a farmer. He was killed by a Jersey bull while trying to save two children. I believe he was a member of the Peter's Colony which would make Rebecca one too. They settled midway between Sherman and Southmayd. just off the Hwy 5...then old Hwy 82 and now Hwy 56. I never knew what happened to Rebecca McFarland Deaver or know where she is buried.
Thanks for the history lesson.

Mary Helen,
Now that I am here in Panama I have stopped doing research. I did some research about 15 years ago. I like to do the general history along with the family history. Why did they move?, for example. I know John Deaver's father was William. He was a private in George Washington's army at the battle of Yorktown. His brother-in-law was a Smith and was with him. Maybe a McFarland was with them since neighbors using hang out together. William went on to retire in Marshall County, Mississippi near the TN border. He wanted to fight the Brits during the Battle of 1812 but was too old.
If you are up Sherman way you might go by the Friendship United Methodist Church and look around their graveyard. There are some Deavers buried there. Maybe that is where Rebecca is. It is just west of Sherman off Hwy 56.
Cheers...John
New message from John, Feb. 2010
John Deaver (1795-1866) husband of Rebecca McFarland was killed by a Jersey bull north of Collinsville. He is buried in the private Beasley-Tuck Cemetery north of Collinsville. This cemetery is located on the Fred McMinney farm (Whitesboro mail route) (about 2 1/2 miles north of Collinsville)). I found his grave marker and would think Rebecca would be there also. I could not find a marker for her. I also could not find a marker for John Arthur Deaver and wife Sarah Hughes. I think they are at Beasley-Tuck.
Does not appear to be living independently in the 1820 or 1830 censuses. There is an Elijah, Elijah Jr., a William and a Thomas Dever in those censuses.

Deaver (20 to 30) is living next to John Deaver (40 to 50) in Liberty twnship, Crawford Co., MO in 1840 census. Back in Haywood County, N.C. is a very old Elijah Deaver that I would guess is John's relative.
