• Notes

  [Mary Catherine Pettit.FTW] Mary Helen Haines notes: Where is Charles in the 1860 census? He is not with his mother and brother in the St. Francois Co. Missouri census. C.N. and Jane probably moved to Coleman, TX, about 1880 according to obit for Eliza Jane Lewis. In Frances Terry Ingmire's book, Ethel McFarland recalled her father calling him "Flat Land Charlie" because he went out to West Texas to live on the bald, flat, prairie. He supposedly made his fortune there. From census records we know that Arthur McFarland joined Charles there after he left Fannin County because of the land dispute. He is present in Coleman County, living in Coleman City in the 1900 and 1910 censuses. He is buried next to his wife, and Robert Lee McFarland, and Eliza Jane Bollinger, and the Pettys in the city cemetery in Coleman. Ethel kept referring to the McFarland family of Weatherford as being from this branch of Charles, but she must mean Coleman Co. instead--pretty close. The Charles McFarland of Parker County was born in Tennessee, so is a different family. [Mary Catherine Pettit.FTW] Where is Charles in the 1860 census.
