• Notes

  Mary Helen Haines notes: For years, people had confused this Mary McFarland, daug. of William, with Mary McFarland, daug. of John. That Mary McFarland married into the Ward family (neighbors in the Reed Creek area). There also seems to be some confusion about this marriage...whether to a Daniel Robinette or a Michael Robinette. Just received this message by e-mail: "If you check the actual marriages for Montgomery Co., Virginia, DANIEL Robinett married Mary McFarland in 1786 and the marriage bond is in the courthouse in Christiansburg. Michael Robinett's first marriage was also 1786 in Montgomery Co., VA to Mary Justice, daughter of Dan'l Justice." I have checked on this and found the correct document above that shows Daniel to Mary McFarland in 1786. So Daniel Robinette married Mary McFarland, daughter of William from the Duncan line in 1786. Some trees have children of Daniel as Nathan Pythias Robinett, born 1787. This Mary must have died and Daniel married Anna Justice. Some trees say 1794, and the later children were his. Need to find the court records of the probate to find who the children of the first marriage are. Then abt. 1810-1812, Michael Robinette married Rhoda McFarland (McFall?) the daughter of a William McFarland and a wife Lucy (Lucinda? Louesa?). Rhoda had two children before her marriage in 1810 to Michael, a James and Nancy, which she bound out in 1810. The James is most likely James B. McFarland, born abt. 1804-5. The 1810 census for Michael Robinette appears to have Rhoda living in his household and she is referred to a Robinet in the court records in 1810.
