My great grandparents were married in Howell Co, MO in 1880 and my great grandfather, John Samuel McFarland, died in 1887 in Howell Co, MO and is buried in Blue Mound Cemetery, 5 miles west of West Plains, MO. He was born in either Tennessee or Kentucky. They were married such a short time before he died and I haven't been able to find anything about him. My grandparents, Joseph Jordan Taylor and Eliza Elender McFarland are buried in Oak Lawn Cemetery in West Plains, MO. Would appreciate if you would let me know if you can find a connection. What are the dates for your great grandfather? Thanks, Millie
