There's a web page about the Bratton's http://grampa.gendex.com/~guest/69751/BrattonHomePage/ You may want to look there under "Andrew Bratton of Ireland D-Base" That's where I found what little I have. Also the book by Geo. W. Cleek, Early Western Augusta Pioneers, (1957) Has the following: Duncan McFarland died in Bath County, Virginia; married Anne Porter, daughter of a sea captain. Duncan McFarland was a weaver and was in Augusta County before 1750. He settled on Jackson River in what is now Bath County, Virginia. Both are buried near the George Cleek Cemetery in Bath County, Virginia in unmarked graves. The McFarland family abandoned their cabin home during an Indian raid in 1763 and took refuge in a nearby cave on the east side of Jackson River just opposite their cabin. After several years of discouragement by being continually harassed by the cunning Indians, descendants of Duncan McFarland sold their real estate to Jacob Cleek in February 1792 and settled in that part of North Carolina which is now included in Tennessee. Robert McFarland died in 1798; married Esther Houston, daughter of John Houston (1669-1755) and Margaret Crawford.
