Mary Helen Haines notes:
Miles McFarland was in the 1837 tax list in Lee Co. with his father and brother John. In 1838 he is gone, but father and brother are present.
I found a Carter County marriage record for 1841 to a Hannah Whitt.
They must have divorced, or annulled, because she is living with her parents Richard and Rebecca Whitt in Dist. 1, Carter Co. with a 7 year old Virginia L. Mcfarlane. The Whitts are from Virginia, according to other reseachers, from Russell Co. VA. Wonder if they traveled together.
In the tax records for Carter Co. in 1842, Miles is shown as McFarlin, Miles, with 200 acres in Carter Co. on the Little Sandy, valued $400. I imagine this is land that Richard Whitt provided, because he doesn't have any by 1844.
In the tax records for Carter Co. in 1843, McFarlen, Miles, with same 200 acres on Little Sandy, value $300.
In 1844, Miles is shown with no land, 1 horse, and brother Hiram is there.
In 1845, Miles and Hiram are both there with no land, Hiram has one horse, Miles has 3.
In 1846, Miles, William, and Hiram are present with no land.
There are no tax books for 1847 through 1851.
In 1852, McFarlane, William with no land, John McFarlane, with 50 acres on the Gimblet, valued at $150, and Miles McFarlane with 300 acres on the Gimblet, value $200.
