Notes - There seem to be two Alberts in the 1850 census, and I have no idea what to conclude about that. Two Alberts exist in 1850: one in Fannin Co. and another in Hunt Co. The 1850 Albert in Hunt Co. is spelled McFarling, and the date is October, 1850. The Fannin County, is dated January, 1851. The census takers have very different ages for these Alberts, and neither date corresponds with passed down family records. In Fannin County, Rebecca and Hezekiah Blankenship are living on Albert's land next to them. In Hunt County, the neighbors in 1850 correspond to the neighbors in 1860, and the children living in 1860 are correctly matched to our family's Albert. The 1860 in Hunt Co. is spelled McFarland. In the 1860 census there is a laborer on the farm named John Lovett, age 20. In September 7, 1865 a marriage in Hunt County is recorded between J. L. Lovett and C.E. McFarland. Family history says that Albert died during the war, and that has been verified by the National Archives Records which show that Albert McFarland joined the 22nd Cavalry in Texas on January 16, 1862. He enlisted at Ft. Washita in Indian Territory (Oklahoma) by J.W. Piner for a period of 12 months. The Archive records show the date of death, but not the cause. A measles epidemic is a possible cause.
In the disputed will of Jane McFarland, Arthur McFarland lists on Sept. 20, 1873 the children of Jane McFarland and 5 children are listed as children of Albert: Elizabeth Jane Mayo, wife of Cyrus, Mary Ann McFarland, William P. McFarland, Julia McFarland, and Josephine McFarland. This corresponds with the 1860 census list. I have not been able to find this family in 1870, although I have found Elizabeth and W.C. Mayo in Wichita Co., Texas in 1920.
Property records for Albert McFarland: In October 1841 he applied for 320 acres- No. 94, 4th class, saying he has attained 17 and is single.This was entered on Ap. 4, 1842. On Sept. 2, 1842 the survey is done and is located next to Caleb Woods and Jackson McFarland. Then on Jan. 5, 1846 he is now entitled to it by virtue of having lived on it for 3 years. The Patent #446 is issued on May 18, 1852. On April 12, 1852 he says he is a family man now and living on the Middle Sulphur on land that appears to be vacant. Then he acquired it on July 27, 1855 as a preemption claim. The survey was done and he acquired 125 acres on the headwaters of the Middle Sulphur in Hunt County, 16 miles north-east of Greenville (today it would be very close to Commerce), next to J.D. White's survey of 640 acres and the state of Texas granted the patent in 1856, signed by Gov. Runnels.
Albert appears in the Hunt County records in 1860 as being responsible for a section of the road building on the Paris to Greenville road.
