  • Notes 
    • Mary Helen Haines notes:

      Memory of Mary Arabella McFarland Jennings about her grandfather: "I was under five years old when my grandfather died, but I remember his driving to our house in a new buggy-he must have been ill at the time, for he was very pale-I thought of him as a kind and generous grandfather-he gave us children candy-a rare treat.

      Property: Although Jackson was awarded 640 acres from the Republic of Texas (Patents #520, and 521), he actually lived on the 640 acres bought from Reuben Brown.
      Patent #520 was 320 acres of land adjacent to Jonathan S. Hobby (Hobbs?) and was dated Nov. 21, 1845, from abstract #11347.
      Patent #521 was 320 acres of land beginning on Daniel Davis's southeast corner and Hobbs on east side.

      Military Service during the Republic:
      Fort Decalb Nov. 29, 1838. This is to certify that Jackson McFarland has served as a Volunteer in the Service of the Republic of Texas for the term of three months at said Fort and is hereby honorably discharged from saidd service and is entitled to all the pay and endowments (?) for such service.
      Isaac Lyday Capt. Jno. H. Dyer Brig.

      Military Service during Civil War:
      In Johnny Rebs of Hunt Co. Texas, by Frances Terry Ingmire, 1977, p. 24, transcribed the document signed by A.E. Pace Brig. Gen. of the Texas State Troops the Jackson McFarland Jr. (?) was elected as 2nd Lieut. for Beat 4, of Fannin Co. on April 15, 1862 in the 14th Brigade. According to own personal records that are now lodged at the Barker Museum in Austin, Texas, Jackson was also part of Chamber's Battalion of the Texas Reserve Corps Infantry, CSA. Papers in the National Archives show him as being sent home to Fannin County in August, 1864 to thresh grain for 60 days. This corresponds to paperwork in his possession. He is also part of Wm. Dulany's Company, who was the Captain of Co. K, of the 2nd Reg't. Cavalry of the Texas State Troops. He also joined the Masonic Order, Bethel Lodge #134, in Ladonia.

      Fannin Co. Court House Record: Box 16 Case #532
      (the handwriting is hard to decipher)
      Transcription as best I can interpret:

      Filed March 3rd, 1870
      The State of Texas In County Court Fannin County ...Feby 7, 1870
      To the Hon. F. D. Piner, County Judge in and for said County,

      Your petitioner Jackson McFarland, a resident of your County, has to state that sometime in the year 1866, he was appointed guardian of the person's and estates of the minors Peter and Angeline MacFarlane ( free persons of color,) formerly his slaves - That now, said minors are of an age, now 14 years of age, that they are able to earn a living and to take care of themselves - that they are not easily managed and controlled - that they have been until recently satisfied and controllable, and that they have been well clothed and fed and cared for - but, under the circumstances, your petitioner asked to be discharged from further trust and liability as such guardian, and as in duty bound will ..(? Cannot decipher last few words)
