      CENSUS: 1850 ARKANSAS Crawford County, Sugar Loaf Township. At this time, mother Catherine, and sisters Elizabeth and Amanda are living with him.

      In 1860, the family has moved to Sherman, Grayson Co. TX, Image 92. Written as R.S. Mc Farlane, 39, farmer, TN. Wife I.C. 30 TN, child S.A. 10 female Ark; child J.MM. 6, male Ark; A.A., 4, female TX; Robert, 1, M. TX.

      In 1870, the family has moved back to Arkansas, to Sebastian Co., Marion twn. fam. 58. Now the family is listed as Robert McFarland, 49, TN, Mary 42, TN, Ada Ann 13, TX, Robert 11, TX, and Alice 7, Ark. It looks like his first wife has died and he has a second wife who is probably the mother of Alice.
