FRANCIS AND VALENDA MCFARLAND


{sjt#2-1}From the records of Jerry J. Johnson:

Francis Marion Mcfarland was a Texas ranger, Confederate soldier, and a farmer.

Married December 15, 1864 in Burnet, Texas (called Hamilton then - near Liberty Hill, Texas).

Francis Marion McFarland was born in Johnson City, Misouri, on December 12, 1846. He died in Crowley, Louisiana, on September 21, 1906 or September 21, 1900. Kitty McFarland is attempting to verify the year of his death (1906 or 1900). Sam Bass, the outlaw, visited in Francis and Valenda's home in Sansaba, Texas (Leo's grandma told him this). Francis told daughter Sally of fighting indians. Some of those stories were passed down to Leo. Grandma Valenda told Leo many indian stories of raids, etc. which she actually experianced. Sally had a pet bear in Burnet, Texas.

Valenda Ann Bowmer was born on December 22, 1845. Died in Elton, Louisiana on January 27, 1928. Her parents were Sellers Bowmer and a Miss Fielding of Missouri.

Information on this sketch furnished by Kitty McFarland who had done an extensive geneology study. Marion McFarland, son of Francis S. and Alema McFarland, lives in Eunice, Louisiana and has a pistol of Grandfather Mcfarland.
