• Notes

  Mary Helen Haines notes: Information has been shared with me by Felicia Acrea and her source David Coulon Burns, both descendants of son George Washington McFarland, as well as Elaine McFarland Radney, a descendant of Jonathan McFarland. Elaine shared the Frederick Co. tax lists. Leven appears for the first time in 1805 as Lebanon McFarland. There is a gap and then he shows up as Levin McFarlin in 1813. There are other McFarlands living in Frederick Co. during these years. Leven (Levin, Lewis, etc.) never owned his own land. In the 1850 Agricultural Census, he owns one horse and one cow. Dates for the children's births are derived by logical guessing from the early (pre-1850) census records, and then the 1850 and beyond census records. Judging from the age of Leven's wife according to her baptismal records, I expect that Leven is also younger than he states in 1850. He is probably closer to Sarah's age, born in the 1780s. Of the children, it is George Washington McFarland's biography that states he is the fourth of 12 children. If you count up the number of children living with Leven in the various censuses, it comes to eleven, not twelve; however, one could have d ied in the interim years. Being the fourth is hard to figure out, because it does not fit with the census records. In the earliest census in 1810 there are three children all born bet. 1800 and 1810. If Sarah Bonecutter was born in 1784, she probably married around 1802 and had her first child George in 1803 when she was about 19. Followed by Charles and a female in 1805 and 1807 about. The female was probably Mary, who married in 1826. The Na ncy McFarland who is sometimes included as a child of this Leven and Sarah is incorrect. That Nancy supposedly married Benjamin Shultz; however the marriage records show Benjamin Shultz married Nancy Perrill, Nov. 18, 1824. They were childless; ho wever in the 1850 census have a 5 year old James McFarland living with them. There is a Nancy McFarland who married Asker M. Glover in 1815, but they moved to Ohio and she does not appear in the census. Ancestry trees say she was the daughter of J ohn McFarland of Frederick Co. who some trees put as a brother to Leven. So using the census records of 1810 through 1840 for Leven in Frederick Co. we have 11 children listed, and none born before 1800. Since George Washington says that he was the 4th of 12 children, and he was born in 1803, something is not adding up . 1810 census shows: 2 males and one female born bet. 1800 and 1810 1820 census adds: 2 males and 3 females born bet. 1810 and 1820 1830 census adds: 3 males born bet. 1820 and 1830. 1840 census does not add any more children. This means 7 males and 4 females in the census records. Now to try and place them: The two oldest boys could be Charles and George Washington. The only one who we know has a firm birthdate is Geo. Washington in 1803. He would be the oldest because in the 1820 census there is one boy 16 to 26--that would have to be George. Theref ore the other boy 10 to 16 would be Charles, therefore born from 1805 to 1810. We also do not know firmly that Charles is the son of Leven. It is because Jonathan, born 1824 names his eldest son Charles that some speculate he might be the son of t he missing Charles. Two boys born from 1810 to 20 are unknown. Three boys born from 1820 to 30. Two of these could be found in the 1850 census records: Jonathan born about 1824, and James born abt. 1826. This would mean that Sarah was approximately 42 when James was born, not that unusual, assuming he is on e of the boys and a brother to Jonathan. I am putting him in this position for now. Some trees have put an older James as son of Leven, probably because a James appears in the tax list in 1835 in Frederick Co.; however there is no way to know if he is part of this family. There is a James McFarland who appears in neighboring Shen andoah Co. in census records, born in 1804, married to Susan. From David Burns: Levin appears as the surety on the marriage bonds of Mary McFarland to Jacob Whetzell, Rebecca to John Cryder, Sarah to Harrison Ryan, and Jonathan McFarland to Susanna Keller.
