  • Notes 
    • Mary Helen Haines notes:

      1830 census: Cooper Co. MO, p. 200 Alexander McFarland, 30-39, 2 sons 5 thru 9, one son under 5. One female 20 thru 29, one 5 thru 9, one under 5. On same page as Elijah McFarland.

      1840 census: Haw Creek township, Morgan Co. MO, Image 3/6 is David McFarland, age 30 thru 40, and William McFarland, age 40 thru 50. On next page is Alexander McFarland age 40 thru 49, John McFarland age 30 thru 40, and B.F. McFarland age 30 thru 40.

      1850 census in White township, Benton Co. MO. stamp 323, Image 9/18
      fam. 731 Alex McFarland 53, farmer, land value 150, TN, James 28 MO, David 27 MO, John H. 24 MO, Robert S. 16, MO, Mary 22 MO, Andine 21 MO, Nancy K 18 MO, Elizabeth E. 15 MO, Martha E 7 Mo, Jacob A. T. 4 MO. Where is wife Sarah?

      Also, if this James 28, therefore born in 1822, is the son of this Alexander, then who is the James McFarland living in Williams township with wife Luticia and child Thomas Jefferson age 1, who is matched as a son of Alexander and Sarah Hix. Are there two Alexanders with sons named James born in the same year? Is the Alexander in White township also a Reverend? see quote below

      1860 census: Sugar Creek township, Cass Co. MO P.O. Austin, Image 12/48 p. 38
      fam. 260: Sarah McFarland 58 KY, Nancy K 26 MO, Robert S. 19 MO, Martha E 16 MO, Alex. J.T.B. 12 MO. next door is
      fam. 259 Geo W. McFarland 51 NC, Anna 47 KY, Elizabeth 18 MO, John 16 MO, John J. Gillet 25 MO, Martha J. 21 MO George W. 2 MO and John G. 4/12 MO.

      " grandson of Rev. Alexander McFarland, who was born in Kentucky but who came to BOONVILLE MISSOURI at a very early day and there remained for many years. He then moved to Cass County where he died before the war. He was a successful minister in the Presbyterian Church and followed this calling nearly all his life. He was of Scotch-Irish descent." This article about grandson Thomas J. says that Alexander was from Kentucky. Is this Alexander correctly connected to this James Ray and Frances Webb? His widow Sarah and family are living in Cass Co. MO in the 1860 census next to George W. McFarland and wife Ann, who is identified as the son of James Ray and Frances Webb McF.
