  • Notes 
    • Mary Helen Haines notes:

      A descendant informed me that Eli Newman McFarland was the first Grand Master of the Masonic Lodge in Liberty. That lodge is still functioning today.

      Ah....I think I have it figured out. Eli Newman is named for his mother's brother. Isabella Henry is the daughter of John Henry of Haywood Co. NC. She married a Boyd before she married Jacob McFarland. Eli Newman Henry was born in 1792, and married Rebecca Cathey. Rebecca Cathey married a James McCormick in Pettis Co. MO in 1825. Eli Newman was born in 1813, and must have been named this in honor of her brother.
