    Notes:

    MHH notes: It seems that Alexander is the son of the John McFarland listed here (as opposed to the Alexander, son of James McFarland and Elizabeth Carmichael on some trees) because of the letters discussed below to George his brother, and George is buried in the McFarland cemetery where John is buried.

    Alexander is in Jefferson Co. TN in the 1830 census, living near his father John Sr. McFarland. Judging from the dates of his children he must have moved to MO about 1833.

    In 1840, Alexander is in Warrensburg township, Johnson Co. MO with his 7 children, living near his brother George.

    In 1850 the family is in Johnson Co. MO, Post Oak township, on October 15th. fam. 587: Alexander McFarlan, age 45, TN, with wife Margaret 46 VA, son William R. 7 MO. Sarah E. 3 MO, John (T, Y, or L) 16 MO. There are two other families living in the house: Addison Vanusdale (?) a male teacher age 21 VA with a Minard age 12 Ohio, then a William Harrison 21 Alabama farmer, with Lucinda 19 VA, and son Harry 6 months MO

    There are a group of transcribed letters in the book called The McFarlands: Seven Generations from Sir John MacFarlane to John Barton McFarland written by Joe Osborn in 1955. On p. 23 is a letter from Alexander to George. Alexander is in California and is describing the cholera epidemic. George is in Johnson Co. MO. On p. 25 is a letter from John and Polly Barton in Texas to George in Tennessee, describing their new life there and saying they know that George is upset that they moved William to Texas, but they had no choice because of all the deaths.

    Notes below from research of Gary Morris.
    CENSUS: 1850 Missouri, Johnson county, Post Oak Township, Household 587

    MIGRATION: 1851. Letter written by John and Polly Barton to George, Alexander's brother, dated 21 day 1851 states Alexander went to California last spring a year ago and both he and hi s son John, died. Another letter, from Elizabeth King to George dated Oct 12, 1851 said "... I recon you hav heard of your brother(s) death and his sons death your brother lived four day s after he was taken sick John lived for weakes after we was taken." According to Marcia Janssen, the death date she has is Nov 17, 1850, but considers this iffy. But he did not die in 1849, probably late 1850. (MHH notes: Actually this is possible, the census date is Oct. 1850, so they could have taken sick as soon as they arrived in California)
