I do have information on Mary (Polly) McFarland, daughter of James C. McFarland and Rebecca (Caroline) Rule. Her siblings were many as James C. had at least 3 wives and maybe 4 as I am not certain of the relationship of Elizabeth Rule. She could be the same as Rebecca or a sister that married James C. also. No one has been able to actually sort out the children and step children of James and his wives. If you put them in cronological order (this best way possible) he produced children for ALMOST 40 years and had grandchildren the same age of his own younger children. His son Wesley is one of Mary's brothers and I am descended through him. Wesley's son Alexander Miller ended up in Iowa where Mary and Lloyd Bradley were living. My grandfather, Frank was born in 1882 in Cerro Gordo County, Iowa. Feel free to contact me at slemin46@yaoo.com
