SOURCE: "Genealogy of the Joseph and William McFarland Branches of the
McFarland Family 1675 to 1910" by Thomas S. McFarland 1910 Cable, Ohio. Copy
at Greene County Room, Greene County Genealogical Society. "Rebecca married
Robert Roach, August 27, 1797, and moved from Pennsylvania to Virginia".
CONFLICT: Perhaps book means moved from Virginia to Pennsylvania?

father, Robert McFarland (indicating probably that she was under 21 years of
age). Witnesses William and Thomas McFarland. Robert Roach to Rebecca
McFarland 22 Aug 1787. Book 1787-024.
