All I have to go on is the following info: My g-g-grandmother was Nancy Jane McFarland (born 1849 in Ky). Her parents were William "James" McFarland (possibly a minister) and Mary Ann Hopkins (no idea where William and Mary Ann came from).. Nancy Jane married my g-g-grandfather and ended up living in Mo. She married a William "Will" Henry Robbins (born about 1847 in Johnson County, IN). >From limited info I have, it is possible that Nancy Jane had a sister by the name of Martha E. McFarland who was born in in Clinton, MO (she married a Albert L. Robbins). This is all the info I have on my McFarland side of the family. Maybe there is a connection to my McFarland clan out there somewhere out there. Any info from any body regarding my McFarland family history would be much appreciated. If you think the McFarland history book would help, i would like to purchase one. Any ideas would be appreciated much. I can be contacted directing at mmessina@digitalputty.com. Thanks for your help. Mike Messina
