SAMUEL MCFARLAND born 1800

Macfarlane, Mcfarland, McFarland, McFarland, McFarlin

The Geneology of one branch of the Clan in America

 

                The Clan and surname are descended from the ancient Celtic Earls of the district to which they belonged- Lennox.  “The wild Macfarlane’s plaided Clan” occupied the land forming the western shore of Loch Lommond from Tarbet upwards.  From Loch Sloy, a small sheet of water near the foot of Ben Voirlich, they took their CATHGHAIRN (battle cry) of “Loch Sluia” or “Loch Sloy”.  The remote ancertor of this clan is said to be Duncan MacGilchrist, a younger brother of Malduin, Earl of Lennox.  Duncan appears in the Ragman Roll of 1296.  His grandson was Bartholomew, which is Gaelic for Parlan, from whom the clan are designed, the letters P and F being easily convertible in Gaelic.  Robert I granted a Charter to Dougan Macfarlane of the lands of Dumbartonshire, dated at the castle of Inchmurrin in 1395.  The direct line of these ancient chiefs failed and their estates were forfeited.  By marriage with a daughter of the Earl of Lennox, Andrew Macfarlane (a cadet of the clan) succeded in 1493, but his son was only allowed the title of Captain of the Clan.  Sir John Macfarlane of the Ilk was slain at Floddin; he had been knighted by the King the night before the battle.  The Macfarlanes emulated the Macgregors in their raids upon the lowland districts as much as their limited numbers allowed.  There was a bond of Manret granted to Hugh, Marter of Eglinton, in 1545 by Duncan, uncle to the Laird of Macfarlane at Irwin.  Walter Macfarlane of Tarbet was among the slain at Pinkney in 1547.  At Langside in 1567 they fought under Murray’s banner.  In 1578 it would appear from the Privy Council Register that the clan was guilty of considerable bloodshed.  Andrew Macfarlane of Arroquhar and that Ilk appears in the roll of Landlors of 1587 who were made by Parliament responsible for the actions of their Clan.  In 1594 the Macfarlanes were denounced as robbers and oppressors; and in 1608 the old standing feud between them and the Colquhouns culminated in the slaughter of the Colquhouns Laird of Luss, and they were declared rebels under the Law.  An order was issued that men, women and children of the clan were to die.  The feud was caused by the Macfarlane chief’s wife.

This did not prevent then from following Montrose in 1644-45, and their wild Pibroch "Thogail nam bo" was heard in many battles. At Bothwell Bridge, in 1679, they were among the foremost in storming the gateway through which the guards charged. Walter Mcfarlane of that Ilk was one of the most learned antiquaries of the last century. In 1624 many of the clan were driven out of Arroqhar and went to Aberdeenshire, where they assumed the names of McCondy, Griesck, macInnes, etc. The last descendent of the chief is said to have gone to America at the end of the 1600's, and his house of Arroqhar became the property of the Duke of Argyle, and was long used as an inn for travelers from Tarbet to Glencroe and Inverary. This castle in 1972 was open to the public with room and board offered for short stays.

The following is some information taken from the Scotland's Magazine.  "Loch Sloy, the loch of the people, was the slogan of the Clan Mcfarlane which under 21 chiefs for nearly 600 years held a compact mountainous territory between Loch Lommond, Loch Fune, and Loch Long.  1225-1784.  It must have been the Mcfarlane's who faced the Hebridean Norseman who during Haco's expidition landed from their longships at Arrochar and dragging their small boats over the isthmus between Loch Long and Loch Lommond pillaged far and wide in Central Scotland. It must have been the McFarlane's who fed and aided the fugitive King Robert the Bruce when he and his company crossed Loch Lommond from the cave at Craigrostan."

Taken from a family record in North Carolina; Loch Lommond was the home of several war-like Clans, and none were mor war-like than the Mcfarlane's who claim the moon as their lantern, and this is still told in Scotland today. The full moon was a good time for the clan to go on their cattle stealing raids. Their was a gentleman's agreement between clans that stated that if you could get the cattle onto your land before the other clan caught you, they were yours; that is until the first clan decided to steal them back. The Mcfarlane's had their fort built of black stone on an island in Loch Lommond. This was easily defended. This is where they swam the stolen cattle to until they could get

them safely to the mainland. This island was sold by the remaining Mcfarlane family to an Englishman in 1970-71.

From the Lyon Register the McFarlane Coat of Arms is described as follows: "A saltire waved or engrailed and cantoned with four roses gules. A demi-savage holding a sheaf of arrows in his right hand and with his left pointing to an imperial crown. Supporters: Two highlanders in their native garb, armed with broadswords and bows proper. Motto: "This I Will Defend", On the compartment wavy, "Loch Sloy". Their badge is the Cranberry or Cloudberry. The colors in their 3 tartan plaids are as follows; The hunting red is a background of bright red with wide stripes of green- some edged with yellow and some edged with black. Sequences usually run - red, green, yellow, black, yellow, green, red in 7 lines then starting over again after the wide red stripe. The going across and up and down. The Dress green is dark green in the background with red, white and black stripes. The Royal Tartan is black and white.

The following is information taken from stories told by members of the American branch of the family and related to me during the period of 1940 to 1973.

William Ed McFarland said; The first McFarland in this country from which this family descended was born on board ship while crossing to America. He was born on the day that the mid-way bottle was drunk. They landed in South Carolina and then moved to Tennessee. Samuel McFarland (circa 1800) was a friend of Sam Houston in Tennessee. They visited the Indian Reservation together. When Houston as Govenor of Texas he used to visit often in the house of the McFarland's.

I met the Mother of my Doctor in Dallas by the name of Rader from Missouri. She told me that the Raders (Dutch) came over from Holland on the same boat as the McFarland family in 1760's.  The McFarland's had gone from Scotland to Holland to take a boat to America. Also she said that they had intermarried in Tennessee, and in Missouri. I have found some records of their inter-marriages.

Macfarlane, Mcfarland, McFarland, McFarlin

In the records I found in North Carolina and name was spelled Macfarlane, then by the time the family got to Missouri it was changed to Mcfarland. In some of the signatures I have seen, it is difficult to tell weather the last letter is e or d. By the time the family got to Texas they were still spelling it Mcfarland. By 1900 most of the family were spelling the name McFarland.

My research has informed me that most of the people living in the early 1800's could neither read nor write. Especially those who kept moving to the newly opened land. There were no schools. The earliest United States Census record that shows the McFarland's that I know were our ancestors, was the one taken in 1840 in Missouri. When the census taker came to the door he asked for the name of the head of the house. Then he wrote it down like it sounded to him. When the children were finally able to go to school the teacher taught them to spell their name like it sounded to her. This caused many of the names in the country to have different spelling than their European ancestors.

In a division of land in 1863 all of the children spelled their name Mcfarland. For some reason of other their children spelled it McFarland with either two dots or a line under the "c".

There is some mistake over the middle name of Samuel's wife. My family Bible gives her name as Jane Pricilla Morrow McFarland. Her gravestone says Jane D. and the land division gives a letter that could be either P or D, but looks more like a p to me. It is possible that when the name was given to the monument maker he mistook the sound of the letter p for d.

Each family will have an ancestor sheet and at the end of each chapter covering a family will be the information on them.

GENEOLOGY

I am beginning this family record with SAMUEL MCFARLAND who all of the following people decended from. I found his grave stone in the Mt. Zion Cemetery which is north of the old road from Bertram to Burnet in what in known as the community of Oatmeal or Mt. Zion Community to some. The stone reads as follows:
Samuell McFarland
Born in Eastern Tennessee
Cocke County 1800
Departed this life March 11, 1861

To the right is the grave of his wife:

Jane D. McFarland
Born in Madison County, Tennessee
October 1805
Departed this life Nov. he 8th, 1879

To his left side is a grave I have not been able to identify

Samuel W. McFarland
Born Dec. the 19th, 1855
Departed this life Oct. 1857

I have not been able to learn the name of Samuel's father, and can get no records from the Cocke County Courthouse as it burned in 1897 and all records were lost.

In a reprint of an 1881 History of Johnson County, Missouri is the following information reguarding the McFarlands.
"Samuel McFarland, Sr. born in Tennessee came with all his father's family to Missouri in 1816 and settled in Cooper County, near Otterville then in 4 years went to Sin-a-bar Creek in Lafayette County. Came with his family to Centerview in 1843 and settled about 2 miles east of present depot at Centerview. Here he bought 400 acres and resided thereon until 1850 when he removed to Texas. He died in 1861."

"George, the brother of Samuel came to Centerview about 1843 and settled about 2 miles East of the present village of Centerview. He died there sometime before the War (Civil). He was given to quaint expressions."

It is also a family story that the McFarlands fought in the Black Hawk War in 1831 and before coming to Missouri fought in the Revolutionary War at King's Mountain.

Died in Burnet County Texas on November 8, 1879
Buried at Mt. Zion Cemetery, Cumberland Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Burnet County.

Lived in Missouri from 1816 to 1850 when he came to Texas.

Samuel and Jane were married on Sept. 15, 1824 by Fines Ewing in Cooper County Missouri. By this time Samuel had been in Lafayette County for 4 years. He must have gone back to Cooper to marry Jane, then take her to Lafayette.

The following information is taken from a book titled "Early Marriages (1819-1850) and Will Records (1820-1870) of Cooper County, Missouri" This is a reprint of a book printed in 1881.
"Cooper county was originated on 17 Dec. 1818, and comprised all that part of what had been Howard county, lying south of the Missouri River.

The first settlers of Boonville township were, among others who arrived between 1815 and 1820, William McFarland, John S. Jesse, George, Samuel and Alexander. Also Jacob and James. William McFarland, the first sherrif of Cooper county, was boorn in Buncombe county, North Carolina, in the year 1778. Among the first settlers of Moniteau township (no date) were Samuel McFarland. About the fall of 1819 and spring of 1820 James McFarland moved to New Lebanon."

The 1840 Cooper County Missouri Census shows Samuel living there again.
