Notes - It is possible that Melvina who is mentioned in the will, is actually Isabella Melvina McFarland, that has been mistaken for Isabella H. and it could be Isabell M. Since there is no mention of Isabella H. in the probate for father Jesse, it must be assumed that they are the same, or that she died before Jesse. Other records show Isabella H. McFarland marrying John N. Horne, and that is correct, but not this one. Instead that Isabella is the daughter of Jesse Jackson McFarland, Jesse Sr's son and Sarah Jane Vance McFarland.
Another possibility: In July 24, 1845 Malissa M. Mcfarland married Samuel C. Vance in St. Francois Co. In the 1850 census it shows this Samuel married to Isabella with child John H. Vance, 5. In the 1860 census it shows Samuel married to Melvina with child John H. age 15. Therefore, Melvina is really Isabella Melvina McFarland.
