• Notes

  Mary Helen Haines notes. This William McFarlane, McFarland, is definitely not the son of John Stewart MacFarlane, as you can see in the tax lists below. He may well be the son of John, son of William, son of Duncan. Some researchers have William as being born in 1788 and dying in Christian Co. KY in May 1849 with a completely different set of descendants. However, this is a completely different family as proven by DNA tests of descendants of both familes. The family that appears in Christian Co. KY and Henry Co. TN are connected with the Robert McFarland line from Lancaster Co. PA, not the Duncan line from VA. William McFarland appears in the tax list for 1812 in Sullivan Co. TN. He married Rachel Farris there on March 15, 1811. There was a John McFarland in Sullivan Co. also who sold his land in 1812. It appears that William moved to Lee County VA from TN. I am not sure what year, but all his children claim VA as their birth place. Lee County tax lists exist from 1795 through 1814, and he is not present there. However there are no exant tax lists from 1815 to 1826. He does show up in 1828 list and from then on. On the microfilm below, he shows up in 1832 and appears for the last time in 1845. By 1847 all this family has left and is now in Carter Co.

Living adjacent to John McFarlane 33. RESEARCHER-EMAIL: (1999) Chest Flint &ltceflint@tgtel.com&gt. G-g grandson of Fada McFarland (dau of William 1784) and John Flint. NOTE: According to research of Chester Flint, William McFarland was born 1784 VA, son of John, who was son of William, who was son of Duncan. All this family information from Chester Flint. Notes that he married Rachael Farris. NOTE: One source has that he married Rachel Lewis, d/o George Lewis and Mary Evans. Support that his wife was actually Rachel Farris, is also supported by the fact that their son, John (1817) had daughter Faris McFarland. RESEARCHER-EMAIL: (2001) Hurshel Debord &ltHLDebord@AOL.com&gt CONFLICT: William McFarland (1825-1910) who married Nancy Caroline Bays (1828-1897).They are burried in Johnson Co. Ky. A researcher on Rootsweb says that William's parents are William McFarland and Rachel Farris but you list them as having no son named William.Only a Luracy born in 1826.The only William I see born in 1825 was a son of James C. and Rebecca Cole.
