Notes:

Mary Helen Haines notes:

Not sure how this Alexander is related to the Duncan line, but it is likely that he is the grandson of William McFarland, and the son of Alexander.

1782: Tax List for Montgomery County, VA, shows William and his son Alexander:
William McFarelane with one tithe, 10 horses, 20 cattle. (William dies in 1791 at Round Mountain, Wythe Co. Today that is Bland Co. near Wolf Creek close to town of Bastian.)
Alex McFarelane next to him with one tithe, 1 slave, 2 horses, no cattle,
(This is probably William's son Alexander, born in 1758) living next to Robert Crawford, who married Isabella McFarland.
Robert Crawford shown with 1 tithe, 6 horses, 8 cattle.

Joseph, Willliam, and Alex are living near Thomas Ingles, Peter Groseclose.

In an 1848 lawsuit between the heirs of Robert and Isabella McFarland Crawford, it lists the heirs: Col. William M. Crawford, Mary Crawford McFarland, who is deceased and it is believed that her husband is alive in Alabama, and others.

Alabama records:

In 1816 an Alexander Mc Farlane is in the tax list for the Mississippi Territory of Monroe Co. Alabama. Monroe county was established in 1815 and is in the southern part of the state. I don't believe this is the same Alexander as the one in Madison Co.

Madison Co. AL was created in 1808.
Jackson Co. was established in 1819 from Madison Co.

In 1815 and 1816, Alexander MFarlin is on the Madison Co. AL tax lists and the Monroe Co. tax list in 1815. Don't know if this indicates two individuals, or one man owing two properties.

In 1830 there is a Joseph Mcfortin in Jackson AL census who is 50 to 60. p. 34. There is a Robert Mcfortin also on page 29, age 40-50. On that same page is William Price and Daniel Price. Where is Alexander?

Alexander married Mary Crawford on 3 Nov 1802 in Greene Co., TN. Mary (daughter of Robert Crawford and Isabella McFarland) was born about 1780 in Virginia; died before 1848. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
