Rhonda-- It's very possible that there will turn out to be a connection-- Like I said my gr-gr-gr-gr-gr-grparents were buried in Logan Co., Ky., They were named Matthew and Mary (Dick) McFarland and they came directly from Scotland by way of N.C. But they had 10 children and some of the family lived in Simpson Co. and I'm sure branched off into other Kentucky counties and probably Tennessee counties, as well. I know my father's direct line moved from the Logan-Simpson county area to Okla. and then onto Texas. Along the way, the spelling of our last name changed from McFarland to McFarlin But I keep telling Mom that I wouldn't be surprised if we end up being related to the McFarlands that are right here in the Henry-Weakley Co. area.
