Margaret, first let me give you my new address, it is Rmcfarl@columbus.rr.com. I will be quitting Aol this month. My gggrandfather Andrew B. McFarland was murdered in 1854. I do know he was born 1 Dec. 1823 in Adams Co. Ohio. He named his son John Andrew and a daughter was named Mary Elizabeth. Also Andrew was a school teacher in Scioto Co. Ohio per the 1850 census of Scioto County. If you can think of anything else that may help connect. Thanks for responding. Bob in Groveport.
