• Notes

  Mary Helen Haines notes: Although I have not seen it, it would seem logical that the H. is for Henry. John H. McFarland appears in the 1830 census in St. Francois county as the head of the family. He is living next to Samuel Vance and near John McFarland and Reuben McFarland. He is also there in the 1840 census. In 1850 he is on p. 161, fam. 131 in St. Francois Co. John H. McFarland made two land claims in St. Francois County. First was made 1-17-1837 for 40 acres, Cert. # 1811: SESW 3, 35-N, 6E, 5th PM. Second was made 8-10-41, for 40 acres, Cert. #6862, NESW 3, 35-N, 6E, 5th PM. It appears to be adjacent to Sand Cr., to the west of Farmington near where Hwy. F crosses Best Road. All of his oldest children would have been born in this location in Liberty township, St. Francois County. It seems he moved to St. Louis where his children were after the death of his wife. He was living in a boarding house in East St. Louis in 1870. It appears he died across the river, back in Missouri, and his body was taken back to Ironton to be buried.
