McFarland. Born in greene County Ohio 8/12/18114 son of John and Rebecca John was born In tennessee. Rebecca died in 1860 leaving 4 of the 11 children she bore. William wed Eliza anative of greene county ohio she was born 2/3/1814 and died 12/4/1882 leaving 4 children Rebecca Jane, martha L. Amy H. one son died young. Joseph was Williams grandfather. If this is your McFarlands there is a full page of family information you might be intersted in. I can copy and snail mail it to you if you wish. Sally in southern oregon sallyya@frontiernet. net am researching the McFarland family in Adams county and Ohio. My GGGrandfather was John Arthur McFarland 1788 - 1840. He is the father of William Madison, Joseph Hamilton and Daniel Green McFarland, all prominent citizens of Adams County in the 1800's. My GGranfather was John's son Benjamin McFarland who I have learned is buried in Hebron Cemetery near Camp Point. I am trying to verify that John Arthur was a twin with Arthur McFarland. I can't find any records with both of them mentioned together, however, William Madison McFarland's bio in the History of Adams County, Illinois says William and his wife Eliza were the children of twins. Does anyone have any further information on Eliza? >Are there any descendents of the McFarland brothers left in Adams >County? I would love to share information. > >Mary McCormick >mccormick.mary@ymail.com ------------------------------ To contact the ILADAMS list administrator, send an email to ILADAMS-admin@rootsweb.com.
