Rhonda and Jewel-- Here is my McFarland ancestry, in a nutshell. Mathew M. McFarland (Matt) b. August29, 1803 in N.C. and died March 21, 1875 in Franklin, Simpson Co., Ky. He married Mary "Martha" Dick about 1825 in Simpson Co., Ky. She was the daughter of Koonrod Dick and Charlotte Harrel Dick. Mary was born Feb. 7, 1807 in Wilkes Co., N.C., and died Oct. 21, 1877 in Franklin, Ky. THe McFarlands also appear in the Logan Co. census for some years. Their children were: In the 1850 Logan Co. census, their children are listed: James, 22. William G., 18. Amos ,16 (that would be my ancestor--My dad's name was Marion Amos) Luke, 14, Elizabeth, 12, Charlotte Malvena, 11, Nelson, 8 Henry, 6 Mary F. or A., 4 Peter, 2 All their last names were McFarland. Plus, listed as living with them on the census was Frances Vaughn, 16. Don't know the relation. Matthew and Mary and some other family members are buried at Dick Cemetery in Simpson Co. It's a very nice little family cemetery--I've been there. DOn't know if any of this helps anyone out there or not.
