Biography in Goodspeed's History of Southeast Missouri, p. 1135-6. "Dr. J. P. McFarland is the son of Newton and Mary C. (Pettit) McFarland, and was born in Ste. Genevieve County, Mo., May 29, 1843. The father was born in St. Francois County, and the mother in Wayne County. The McFarland family originally came from North Carolina to Missouri in 1816, being among the first settlers of St. Francois County. The paternal grandfather died in Texas, in 1875. The maternal grandfather, John Pettit, was a Virginian, and located in Wayne County, Mo., in 1819. He was a prominent physician, and followed that calling in connection with farming in Wayne County. He served as captain in the Black Hawk war, and in 1853 was killed by some highwayman or enemy. Newton McFarland, father of Dr. J.P., was in the service of the Iron Mountain Company for a number of years. He died in 1847. The mother is still living. They were the parents of three children, only two of whom are living; John P. and Charles. Dr. John P. McFarland was about four years old when his father died, and the greater portion of his youth was spent with an uncle. He was seventeen years old when he began the battle of life for himself. He began the study of medicine, and in 1866 graduated from the St. Louis Medical College, and immediately began practicing at Piedmont, where he has since made is home. In 1861 he complied with Gov. Jackson's call, and enlisted for six months as orderly sergeant in Company E, of the State Guards. In 1865 he was united in marriage to Samantha B. Lewis, a native of Alabama, who bore him two children, one living, Charles P. Mrs. McFarland is a member of the Christian Church, and the Doctor is a member of the Masonic fraternity."

John married Samantha Beatrice Lewis in 1865. Samantha was born on 17 Dec 1844 in Alabama; died between 1920 and 1930. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Mary Helen Haines notes:
Where is Charles in the 1860 census? He is not with his mother and brother in the St. Francois Co. Missouri census.

C.N. and Jane probably moved to Coleman, TX, about 1880 according to obit for Eliza Jane Lewis. In Frances Terry Ingmire's book, Ethel McFarland recalled her father calling him "Flat Land Charlie" because he went out to West Texas to live on the bald, flat, prairie. He supposedly made his fortune there. From census records we know that Arthur McFarland joined Charles there after he left Fannin County because of the land dispute. He is present in Coleman County, living in Coleman City in the 1900 and 1910 censuses. He is buried next to his wife, and Robert Lee McFarland, and Eliza Jane Bollinger, and the Pettys in the city cemetery in Coleman. Ethel kept referring to the McFarland family of Weatherford as being from this branch of Charles, but she must mean Coleman Co. instead--pretty close. The Charles McFarland of Parker County was born in Tennessee, so is a different family.

Charles married Jane Frances Randolph on 26 Aug 1869. Jane was born on 18 May 1848 in Tennessee; died on 20 Jan 1928 in San Antonio, TX; was buried in Coleman Cemetery, Coleman Co., Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

John Pettit McFarland, and then his son Charles, stayed living in Piedmont Missouri.

Charles married Maud about 1898 in Missouri. was born in Mar 1879. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Birth: Tennessee

May married Elias Thompson Petty on 20 Oct 1892 in Coleman Co., TX. Elias was born on 8 Jan 1866 in Pettytown, TX; died on 8 Nov 1919 in San Antonio, Bexar Co., TX; was buried in Coleman Cemetery, Coleman Co., Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He is not on the 1870 nor 1880 census. There is a Charles McFarland in San Antonio in 1920, but his birthdate in Missouri would have been 1867, so I assume this Charles Pettit McFarland died in infancy.

Charles was a business graduate of Harvard. He was the city manager for Coleman, TX, and later a manager of one of the four divisions of the King ranch in south Texas, maybe the largest ranch in America. Fran remembers going to visit him there and staying at the ranch. He moved to Brady after retiring from the King ranch.
