Notes:

Mary Helen Haines notes:

The Alexander McFarland who fought at Pt. Pleasant in 1774 and on the Nolachucky in 1776, was born in 1750 according to his pension records which I have read and transcribed.

He received his pension of 10 pounds a year from Augusta Co. from 1788 to 1797, then from Russell Co. 1798 to Sept. 1804.

It is unknown if this Alexander, wounded and needing a pension from 1788 to 1804, is the same Alexander who purchased 400 acres in Greene Co. TN in 1783.

Other records say that Alexander McFarland is the father of Robert Henry McFarland, who was born around 1740-50 time frame. This would mean an older Alexander than the one who received the pension.

An Alexander McFarland was also in VA when he signed a petition in 1785 to form Russell Co. from Washington Co. VA. This is assumed to be Alexander McFarland, who married Lydia Priest in that year. This should be Alexander McFarland, son of William McFarland. According to the Personal Property lists in Russell County, there was an Alexander present from 1787 through the 1790. There was also an Alexander who signed the petition to form Russell County.

Then there is no Alexander in Russell Co. until 1796 when the Alexander of Greene Co. TN sells his property there and moves to Russell Co. So the earlier Alexander appears to be the son of William and Elizabeth Gibson. He moves to KY where he appears in 1791. His brothers Daniel and John also move there. There is very briefly, a James and a Robert. Not sure who they are. However the Robert appears married to a Catherine and gives permission for his daughter Anne (Catherine) to marry Robert Young. Alexander McFarland signs the bond.

1796: Personal Property Upper District: Alexander with 1 tithe, James with none. Land Tax Upper Dist. James with 275, 110. James new deeds 162, 80. Robert with 172.
1797: Land Tax Upper Dist. new listings: Alex McFarland from R. Price-250 acres Pers. Prop. Alex with 2 tithes, James with one
1798: Pers. Prop. Upper Dist. Alex. McF. with 2, James with one
1799: Pers. Prop. Upper Dist. Alex. McF. with 2, James with one
1800: Pers. Prop. Lower District: Robert McFarland with 3 (Upper Dist. doesn't exist for 1800)
1802: Pers. Prop. Lower District: Joseph McFarland Upper Dist. Alexander McFarland Sr. 1, Alexander McFarland Jr. 1, James 1, Robert 2

1810: Pers. Prop. Lower District: Joseph, Robert, Robert

Judging from the 1797, 98, 99, and then the 1802 listing of Alexander McFarland Sr. and Alexander McFarland Jr., I believe he has a son named Alexander, who is the man who married Mary Crawford in 1802. They are not present in 1810, nor are they in Tennessee, so this would be consistent with the move to Alabama.

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]
