• Notes

  Mary Helen Haines notes: Note that James M. Lark was the illegitimate child of a McFarlane father and Polly Lark. No marriage took place. That has been proven by the Y-DNA test, which puts his descendant in the same group as the descendants of this line of McFarlanes. The reason he is attached to this James McFarlane is because he was the only logical McFarlane of the right age in this area. Also the name he was given by Polly also points this father. For a full reading of all the documents that back up this assertion, go to the Lark Family web-site at http://www.larkfamilygenealogy.com which is maintained by Cindy Lark, whose research led me to this conclusion.
