You are the first one in the few years I have been doing our McFarland line that I have found to be related more than a generation back! I don't have the siblings of Archibald and Amelia other than their son, also named Archibald who is my decendent. So I haven't any info on Harvey McFarland but do have some for another generation back and also ours leading up to Archibald and Amelia. Do you have any information at all?

Ask your Aunt Katy about him? He is sort of a recluse, and lives on some land with some old Indian Artifacts and mounds. An interesting character to say the least. Most of the McFarland's I have met are prone to be recluses.

According to _A Pioneer History of Camden Township_ (Lorain Co. Ohio), my g-g-g-g grandmother, Zilpha Ann (PETERS?)
