Mary Helen Haines notes:
Polly Ann Barton must have died shortly after William's birth. While George and his two eldest children moved back to Tennessee, where he remarried, and had another family, his youngest son William stayed in Missouri with his grandmother Hannah Barton, now also a widow. In 1850 Hannah Barton and William McFarlin are living in Travis County with Hannah's daughter Sarah Chamberland and her family.
My information concerning William Thomas Barton McFarland comes from the book written in 1955 by Joe Osborn, a descendant of this family line.
