Connie, I don't know if this is of any help to you. I have two connections to Barney McFarland, found in the Knox County Marriage Books. 4 OCT 1847 Barnabus McFarland and Sarah Ann Mitchell married by Minister R. B. Barton (Knox County Marriage Book A) 28 APR 1870 William J. Anderson (my husband's grandfather) married to Mary Ann McFarland at Barney McFarland's, first marriage for both. Jesse: age 21, resident Knox Cty. KY, born Hawkins Co., TN, mother born NC; Mary Ann: age 19, resident Knox Cty. KY, born Knox Cty. KY, father born Whitley Co., KY ( Knox County Marriage Book BB & C). William J. Anderson is listed as a widower on the 1880 census. -Carol Anderson
