  1. 1.  James M. McFarlane was born between 1790 and 1800 in Russell Co., Virginia; died about 1849 in Russell Co., Virginia.

    Notes:


    Mary Helen Haines notes:

    James would appear to be the oldest son since he was given the job as executor of his father's will.

    CENSUS: 1830 VIRGINIA, Russell County, page 163 James M. McFarlane 1M 30-40, 1 F 0-5,
    1F 5-10, 1F 15-20, 1F 20-30, 11 Slaves. (page 161 is
    Alexander McFarlane, p. 162 is Augustus McFarlane, and on same page as James is Christopher McFarlane).

    CENSUS: 1840 VIRGINIA, Russell County James M. McFarlane 2M 10-15, 1M 40-50,
    2F 0-5, 1F 20-30, 1F 50-60.

    Living in the county at this same time is the household of Michael Lark. DNA testing has shown that descendants of James M. Lark, (born abt. 1829 in Russell County, VA, the bastard child of Polly Lark) matches the DNA of the descendants of James McFarlane, Sr., father of this James M. McFarlane. The young man James M. Lark, was ordered to be bound out in 1834 to George Finney in Russell County. In the 1850 census for George Finney, living in his household is James McFarlane, 21, a laborer born in Russell Co. It appears that he used that name in the census in 1850, but by 1860 and from then on, he uses Lark as a final name.

    Marriage to Martha Gose is verified by:

    SOURCE: "Links with the Past: A genealogical Account of the Albert and Related
    Families" On Internet Genealogylibrary.com. James McFarland married Martha
    Gose, daughter of Stephen (ca 1762-1847 Russell Co, VA) and Maria Kettenring
    (b. ca 1760).

    LINKS: Will of Stephen Gose, Sr. Exec.8 Feb 1848 Residence N. side of Clinch

    Notes:

    This young man is the only man listed in the will of Stephen Gose, so I am not sure who the other children are in the 1840 census of James M. McFarlane, his father.

    Notes:


    Mary Helen Haines notes:

    Note that James M. Lark was the illegitimate child of a McFarlane father and Polly Lark. No marriage took place. That has been proven by the Y-DNA test, which puts his descendant in the same group as the descendants of this line of McFarlanes. The reason he is attached to this James McFarlane is because he was the only logical McFarlane of the right age in this area. Also the name he was given by Polly also points this father.
