Surnames: McFarlands in Missouri Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/FG0.2ACIB/889.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: I am also researching a large family of McFarlands in Missouri. They seem to have moved all over the state and ended up in various counties. My McFarlands came to Missouri via Tennessee from North Carolina by 1820 give or take a few years. One or two may have come through Kentucky before settling in Missouri. Several of them settled, originally, in or around Cooper County, MO. Can you give me a time frame for your Charles and his parents names if you have them?
