SAMUEL MCFARLAND born 1800

Macfarlane, Mcfarland, M^cFarland, McFarland, McFarlin

The Geneology of one branch of the Clan in America

The Clan and surname are descended from the ancient Celtic Earls of the district to which they belonged- Lennox. “The wild Macfarlane’s plaided Clan” occupied the land forming the western shore of Loch Lommond from Tarbet upwards. From Loch Sloy, a small sheet of water near the foot of Ben Voirlich, they took their CATHGHAIRN (battle cry) of “Loch Sluia” or “Loch Sloy”. The remote ancertor of this clan is said to be Duncan MacGilchrist, a younger brother of Malduin, Earl of Lennox. Duncan appears in the Ragman Roll of 1296. His grandson was Bartholomew, which is Gaelic for Parlan, from whom the clan are designed, the letters P and F being easily convertible in Gaelic. Robert I granted a Charter to Dougan Macfarlane of the lands of Dumbartonshire, dated at the castle of Inchmurrin in 1395. The direct line of these ancient chiefs failed and their estates were forfeited. By marriage with a daughter of the Earl of Lennox, Andrew Macfarlane (a cadet of the clan) succeded in 1493, but his son was only allowed the title of Captain of the Clan. Sir John Macfarlane of the Ilk was slain at Floddin; he had been knighted by the King the night before the battle. The Macfarlanes emulated the Macgregors in their raids upon the lowland districts as much as their limited numbers allowed. There was a bond of Manret granted to Hugh, Marter of Eglinton, in 1545 by Duncan, uncle to the Laird of Macfarlane at Irwin. Walter Macfarlane of Tarbet was among the slain at Pinkney in 1547. At Langside in 1567 they fought under Murray’s banner. In 1578 it would appear from the Privy Council Register that the clan was guilty of considerable bloodshed. Andrew Macfarlane of Arroquhar and that Ilk appears in the roll of Landlors of 1587 who were made by Parliament responsible for the actions of their Clan. In 1594 the Macfarlanes were denounced as robbers and oppressors; and in 1608 the old standing feud between them and the Colquhouns culminated in the slaughter of the Colquhouns Laird of Luss, and they were declared rebels under the Law. An order was issued that men, women and children of the clan were to die. The feud was caused by the Macfarlane chief’s wife.

---

This did not prevent then from following Montrose in 1644-45, and their wild Pibroch "Thogail nam bo" was heard in many battles. At Bothwell Bridge, in 1679, they were among the foremost in storming the gateway through which the guards charged. Walter Mcfarlane of that Ilk was one of the most learned antiquaries of the last century. In 1624 many of the clan were driven out of Arroqhar and went to Aberdeenshire, where they assumed the names of McCondy, Griesck, macInnes, etc. The last descendent of the chief is said to have gone to America at the end of the 1600's, and his house of Arroqhar became the property of the Duke of Argyle, and was long used as an inn for travelers from Tarbet to Glencroe and Inverary. This castle in 1972 was open to the public with room and board offered for short stays.

The following is some information taken from the Scotland's Magazine. "Loch Sloy, the loch of the people, was the slogan of the Clan Mcfarlane which under 21 chiefs for nearly 600 years held a compact mountainous territory between Loch Lommond, Loch Fune, and Loch Long.  1225-1784.  It must have been the Mcfarlane's who faced the Hebridean Norseman who during Haco's expidition landed from their longships at Arrochar and dragging their small boats over the isthmus between Loch Long and Loch Lommond pillaged far and wide in Central Scotland. It must have been the McFarlane's who fed and aided the fugitive King Robert the Bruce when he and his company crossed Loch Lommond from the cave at Craigrostan."

Taken from a family record in North Carolina; Loch Lommond was the home of several war-like Clans, and none were mor war-like than the Mcfarlane's who claim the moon as their lantern, and this is still told in Scotland today. The full moon was a good time for the clan to go on their cattle stealing raids. Their was a gentleman's agreement between clans that stated that if you could get the cattle onto your land before the other clan caught you, they were yours; that is until the first clan decided to steal them back. The Mcfarlane's had their fort built of black stone on an island in Loch Lommond. This was easily defended. This is where they swam the stolen cattle to until they could get

---

them safely to the mainland. This island was sold by the remaining Mcfarlane family to an Englishman in 1970-71.

From the Lyon Register the McFarlane Coat of Arms is described as follows: "A saltire waved or engrailed and cantoned with four roses gules. A demi-savage holding a sheaf of arrows in his right hand and with his left pointing to an imperial crown. Supporters: Two highlanders in their native garb, armed with broadswords and bows proper. Motto: "This I Will Defend", On the compartment wavy, "Loch Sloy". Their badge is the Cranberry or Cloudberry. The colors in their 3 tartan plaids are as follows; The hunting red is a background of bright red with wide stripes of green- some edged with yellow and some edged with black. Sequences usually run - red, green, yellow, black, yellow, green, red in 7 lines then starting over again after the wide red stripe. The going across and up and down. The Dress green is dark green in the background with red, white and black stripes. The Royal Tartan is black and white.

The following is information taken from stories told by members of the American branch of the family and related to me during the period of 1940 to 1973.

William Ed McFarland said; The first McFarland in this country from which this family descended was born on board ship while crossing to America. He was born on the day that the mid-way bottle was drunk. They landed in South Carolina and then moved to Tennessee. Samuel McFarland (circa 1800) was a friend of Sam Houston in Tennessee. They visited the Indian Reservation together. When Houston as Govenor of Texas he used to visit often in the house of the McFarland's.

I met the Mother of my Doctor in Dallas by the name of Rader from Missouri. She told me that the Raders (Dutch) came over from Holland on the same boat as the McFarland family in 1760's. The McFarland's had gone from Scotland to Holland to take a boat to America. Also she said that they had intermarried in Tennessee, and in Missouri. I have found some records of their inter-marriages.

---

Macfarlane, Mcfarland, McFarland, McFarlin

In the records I found in North Carolina and name was spelled Macfarlane, then by the time the family got to Missouri it was changed to Mcfarland. In some of the signatures I have seen, it is difficult to tell weather the last letter is e or d. By the time the family got to Texas they were still spelling it Mcfarland. By 1900 most of the family were spelling the name McFarland.

My research has informed me that most of the people living in the early 1800's could neither read nor write. Especially those who kept moving to the newly opened land. There were no schools. The earliest United States Census record that shows the McFarland's that I know were our ancestors, was the one taken in 1840 in Missouri. When the census taker came to the door he asked for the name of the head of the house. Then he wrote it down like it sounded to him. When the children were finally able to go to school the teacher taught them to spell their name like it sounded to her. This caused many of the names in the country to have different spelling than their European ancestors.

In a division of land in 1863 all of the children spelled their name Mcfarland. For some reason of other their children spelled it McFarland with either two dots or a line under the "c".

There is some mistake over the middle name of Samuel's wife. My family Bible gives her name as Jane Pricilla Morrow McFarland. Her gravestone says Jane D. and the land division gives a letter that could be either P or D, but looks more like a p to me. It is possible that when the name was given to the monument maker he mistook the sound of the letter p for d.

Each family will have an ancestor sheet and at the end of each chapter covering a family will be the information on them.

GENEOLOGY

I am beginning this family record with SAMUEL MCFARLAND who all of the following people decended from. I found his grave stone in the Mt. Zion Cemetery which is north of the old road from Bertram to Burnet in what in known as the community of Oatmeal or Mt. Zion Community to some. The stone reads as follows:
Samuell McFarland
Born in Eastern Tennessee
Cocke County 1800
Departed this life March 11, 1861

To the right is the grave of his wife:

Jane D. McFarland
Born in Madison County, Tennessee
October 1805
Departed this life Nov. he 8th, 1879

To his left side is a grave I have not been able to identify

Samuel W. McFarland
Born Dec. the 19th, 1855
Departed this life Oct. 1857

I have not been able to learn the name of Samuel's father, and can get no records from the Cocke County Courthouse as it burned in 1897 and all records were lost.

In a reprint of an 1881 History of Johnson County, Missouri is the following information reguarding the McFarlands.
"Samuel McFarland, Sr. born in Tennessee came with all his father's family to Missouri in 1816 and settled in Cooper County, near Otterville then in 4 years went to Sin-a-bar Creek in Lafayette County. Came with his family to Centerview in 1843 and settled about 2 miles east of present depot at Centerview. Here he bought 400 acres and resided thereon until 1850 when he removed to Texas. He died in 1861."

"George, the brother of Samuel came to Centerview about 1843 and settled about 2 miles East of the present village of Centerview. He died there sometime before the War (Civil). He was given to quaint expressions."

It is also a family story that the McFarlands fought in the Black Hawk War in 1831 and before coming to Missouri fought in the Revolutionary War at King's Mountain.

Born in Madison County Tennessee in October 1805
Died in Burnet County Texas on November 8, 1879
Buried at Mt. Zion Cemetery, Cumberland Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Burnet County.

Lived in Missouri from 1816 to 1850 when he came to Texas.

Samuel and Jane were married on Sept. 15, 1824 by Fines Ewing in Cooper County Missouri. By this time Samuel had been in Lafayette County for 4 years. He must have gone back to Cooper to marry Jane, then take her to Lafayette.

The following information is taken from a book titled "Early Marriages (1819-1850) and Will Records (1820-1870) of Cooper County, Missouri" This is a reprint of a book printed in 1881.
"Cooper county was originated on 17 Dec. 1818, and comprised all that part of what had been Howard county, lying south of the Missouri River.

The first settlers of Boonville township were, among others who arrived between 1815 and 1820, William McFarland, John S. Jesse, George, Samuel and Alexander. Also Jacob and James. William McFarland, the first sherrif of Cooper county, was boorn in Buncombe county, North Carolina, in the year 1778. Among the first settlers of Moniteau township (no date) were Samuel McFarland. About the fall of 1819 and spring of 1820 James McFarland moved to New Lebanon."

The 1840 Cooper County Missouri Census shows Samuel living there again.

The (S 1), (S 2) etc. on the following pages indicates the children of Samuel and Jane.

-------------------------

James Gillus (Gillis) McFarland was the County Tax Assessor from 1854 to 1858.

Signatures show he was County Clerk as late as 1866.

--------------------------

A family tradition says that Sam Houston and Samuel McFarland were boyhood friends in Tennessee. Sam Houston would have been older. When Samuel moved to Texas Sam Houston used to come and visit him. When the Civil War was brewing, they had a conversation about it. It went something like this. Samuel was called Sammy by Houston. Sammy: “If this trouble comes to war it will be a bloody affair.”

Houston: “My opinion is that I could mop up all the blood spilled with my handkerchief.”

Sammy: “It will have to be a big one.” They used to sit and talk of their boyhood days in Tennessee and their friendships with the Indians there.

Sometime after the death of Samuel the family moved to Cow Creek not far from Burnet. I’ve been told that Jane and her sons Francis Marion, James Gillus and Samuel King went, also George Jackson who was called Dr. Jack. They took all their families and possessions. The Indians became very dangerous. It got so bad that they all pilled into their wagons and left for the protection of Burnet. They left the possessions and cattle behind. Later Francis Marion, his wife, children and sons Ed and James W. and his daughters Molly, Sally and Hattie all moved to Louisiana. James W. was the only member of the family who returned to the Burnet area to live.

---------------------------

The pictures of all the McFarland descendents which I have seen show a striking resemblance to Samuel. Most of the men average about 5’ 10” in height although a few were and are over 6’. We have had many auburn haired people in the family. Blue eyes seem to predominate. One physical characteristic is the deep chest. One theory I have is that this is the result of the McFarland Clans ability to beat all comers in the tossing of the caber in the Highland Games held each year for centuries. They choose a tree that they came barely span with their arms. The limbs are removed. The man hoists the trunk of the tree in his arms and tosses or throws it as far as he can. The distance thrown determines the winner. This called for powerful chest muscles.

---------------------------

The grand daughter of Jane (Samuel’s wife) Hattie McFarland Kinser told me years ago that Jane lived with her parents when she was a small child. She described Jane as being a fat, jolly Irish woman who everyone loved. At one time Francis Marion, Hatties father, had the fire andiorns and tongs that were hand made and that Samuel had brought from his home in Missouri. I can not find them.

(page 21)

James Dorr McFarland, grandson of Samuel King McFarland, told me the following story. He related a story his grandmother told him.

The family lived on a farm outside of Burnet, Texas. The house was built in two sections with a roofed proch joining them. This porch was called a “Dog Trot”. The grandparent’s room was in the left side of the house, and the grandchildren stayed in the right side when visiting. Grandmother Musidore would tell them such frightening stories about the Indians that one of the oldest had to walk them across the “Dog Trot” to their room at bed time.

She told them of one Indian attack. Her husband had gone to Austin to have his corn ground. He asked a neighbour, who was also going, to leave his wife and children with Mrs. McFarland. At this time their son Samuel Lewis was a small boy. His mother sent him out to milk the cows. He came back inside and told her he saw what looked like some new stumps in the yard and the dog was barking at them. His mother told him to stay in the house. They all got in one room and closed and locked the shutters. The women had no gun, but Musidore had a big axe which she would use to chop off and Indian’s hand if he got through the shutters. Soon the dog stopped barking. In the morning they found the dog dead with his head split open by a tomahawk. The stumps, of course, were crouching Indians. They stole the cows.

---------------------------

Stories of Samuel Lewis, son of Samuel King McFarland.

A story was written about Samuel Lewis by Frank Dobie for a Western magazine. He was so bowlegged from horse back riding that he became a cripple. He sat in a wheel chair, and it was lifted into a wagon so he could over-sea the work on his farm.

During his life he was a farmer, sold sewing machines, built dirt damns, was an Osteopathic doctor, a teacher and a preacher.

My Mother Elyce Lillard Lawes was the daughter of Mary Margaret (Mollie) McFarland the daughter of James G. McFarland and the uncle of Samuel Lewis. Mother told me about a time that her Mother’s cousin Samuel Lewis came by their house in Bertram to visit. She said he was the first really bow-legged person she had ever seen. He rode a beautiful black horse. When he saw her admiring the horse, he asked if she would like to ride it. She was only 8 years old, but a real tomboy. She got on, and the horse took off and ran under a low limb of a tree. She was thrown off and knocked unconscious. When she came to, Samuel Lewis gave her a bag of candy and said he was sorry the horse had run away with her.

Ollie McFarland Womack told me that her father, Samuel Lewis, was very bow-legged and spent the last few years of his life in a wheel chair. Some of his children inherited the tendency to be bow-legged so it must not have been caused entirely from riding horses.

-------------------------

James Dorr McFarland said that his grandmother Musidore lived with him after his grandfather died. James was at a family reunion in Bertram about 1965. An older uncle took him to see his grandmother’s old home which was built of logs. The uncle said the night James was born that he had ridden 6 miles on a horse to get a doctor. James was born in the old log house.

Excerpts from letters written to me by Mrs. Ollie McFarland Womack, daughter of Samuel Lewis McFarland.

Story about her grandmother Musidore Rountree McFarland and the Indians.

“She was alone with her first two babies. She heard a panther screaming one late afternoon or early evening so she hurridly did her outside work. The house was finished all but the door. Some board had been put up over the rafters forming a loft. She pushed the bed across the door way, but it was a little high off the floor. I don’t remember if she had a gun. She put the babies up on the rafters and climbed up with them. The only thing she had for protection was a small puppy dog. The panther tried to come in under the bed, and the puppy would bite it’s feet. The baby was sick and cried most of the night, and the panther would scream every time the baby cried and try to get in, but the dog stood his ground.”

“Another time they were sleeping in the yard, and she woke up, and a lion was standing with it’s front feet on the bed looking at the baby on the other side. She screamed and the dog went into action. I remember her as a plucky pioneress. She and I went squirrel hunting often and she really was a good shot.

Songs written by Francis Marion McFarland

CUNTRY GIRLS (written before 1890 and dedicated to his wife Anna)

(Country)

Up in the morning early just at the peep of day

Straining the milk in the dairy turning the cows away

Sweeping the floors in the kitchen, making the beds upstairs

Washing the breakfast dishes, dusting the parlor chairs

(repeat 2 last lines)

Brushing the crumbs from the pantry

Hunting the eggs from the barn

Cleaning the Turnips for dinner

Twisting the stocking yarn

Spreading the whitning linen

Down on the bushes below

Where the red strawberries grow

(repeat last 2 lines)

Starching and fixing for Sunday

Churning the snowie cream

Wrenching the pail and strainer

Down in the running stream

Feeding the gees and turkeys

Making the pumpkin pies

Joging the little ones cradle

Driving away the flies

Grace in every motion

Music in every tone

Beauty of form and fiture

Thousands might covet to own

Cheeks that rival spring roses

Teeth the whites of purl

One of those cuntry maids

Are worth a score of yore city girls.

SPOTTED FOND (fawn) Written Aug. 20, 1893. Copied from the original.

By Matris flowery March The Red Chief’s wigwam stood There the first White mans fiffel rang Loud through the echoing woods The tomahalk and scalping knife Together lay at rest For fear was in the forrest shad And in the Red mans brest. Chorus Oh the spoted fond Oh the spoted fond The life and light of the forest shad For the Red Chiefs child is gone. By Matris flowery March The spotted fond gave birth And grew as fair and Indian girl As ever graced the earth. She was the Red Chiefs only child And sought by many a brave But to the gallant young White Cloud Her plighted form she gave

And as they rod along Hur bridel song arose Undreeming in that festive night of wide incerkling foes but threw the forrest stelthley the white man caim in rath and firey deth before him spred for blod was on his path (sing chorus) A buirel then in thar own crude way The Indians gave them thair And thair a requiem sent up A requiem of prair Next morning at the brake of day no strips thar could be sene for the young white cloud And spotted fond Thar bluid had died the greene Oh the Spoted Fond Oh the Spoted Fond The life and light of the forest shad For the Red Chief’s child xxxx

I do not understand why they spelled his name with 2 L’s. I find this on no other records. The D in Jane’s name should be a P.

The following was copied from an article in the Burnet Bulletin Oct. 4, 1934.

F.M. McFarland and W.E. McFarland were members of Burnet’s first band.

F.M. was a native of Missouri. He came to Texas with his parents in 1850 and joined the Texas Ranger’s when he became old enough. He was a Ranger when the Civil War between the States was declared and transferred to the Confederate Army, where he served until peace was declared. He married Ann Bowmen, daughter of the late S.S. Bowmer. He was a blacksmith having learned the trade under his brother-in-law Bob Alexander (husband of Lucenda). Together they operated the old stone shop that was then on the north side of the street toward the Fort on Hamilton Creek west of town. He died in Louisiana and was buried at Crowley, La. ty the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. W.E. McFarland, the boy with the snair drum is a native of Burnet, born in the town of Burnet in 1867 in the house that was known in those days as the old Horn house, situated on the east side of the main street running south out of town. He also worked in the Cowboy Depot where he learned the harness and saddle trade

MORROW FAMILY

Copied from the book “Tennessee Cousins” by Worth S. Ray

Page 284

“Mrs. Hale Houts of Kansas City, Missouri, prominent as an officer in the D.A.R. and a top genealogist for that worthy organization, lays claim to being a direct descendant of the DAVID MORROW (1731-1785) who is buried in the old Waxhaw Cemetery, Lancaster County, S.C. Mrs. Hout’s version of those descended from David Morrow differs radically from that of the compiler, but her views of the facts are entitled to the greatest consideration, and it may be the right view”

“Among the “poor Irish Protestants” arriving as emigrants in the ship LORD DUNLUCE and who on Jan. 6, 173 presented petitions for warrants of survey on lands agreeable to their respective family rights, as shown by the Council Journal, 37, P. 15-35 were:

DAVID MORROW and

ELIZABETH MORROW

Mrs. Houts interpretation is that due to the amount of land that was allotted David and his wife, they arrived with six children, and one of these children named JAMES GILLIS MORROW was born on board the vessel that brought them to America, and that she is directly descended from this JAMES GILLIS MORROW. The version on which she relies is set forth in a statement, regarded by her as practically a verified version as follows:

DAVID MORROW came from the North of Ireland to South Carolina and reared his family there; one son, JAMES GILLIS was born in mid-ocean and was named for the Captain of the vessel. JAMES GILLIS MORROW and a Mary Davis were united in marriage in South Carolina. They afterwards immigrated to Clarksville, Tenn. James G. Morrow was a farmer, a Tory in politics, and a strict Scotch Presbyterian in early life, but during the great revival of 1810, he joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. He moved with his family to COOPER COUNTY, Missouri in 1820.

Children of James Gillis Morrow and Mary Davis

1. Robert Davis (b. 1797) in Lancaster District, S.C.

2. Margaret Hutchison Morrow (b. 1797) in Lancaster District S.C.

3. John Brown Morrow

4. David Baxter Morrow

5. James Gillis Morrow

6. Jane Morrow who married Samuel McFarland and went to Texas.

Robert Davis Morrow, the oldest son as above married Elizabeth Moore Ray and had:

1. Rev. John Ray Morrow (to Texas)

3. Baxter Ewing Morrow

4. Margaret Ruth Morrow

5. Mary Medora Morrow

Mrs. Houts says that there was another son of the original DAVID MORROW and his wife Elizabeth, whose name was WILLIAM, and who was born in IRELAND in 1768. He was the William who settled in Kentucky and later in Howard Co, Mo., and who married SARAH JAY in Caswell County, N.C., and who was the father of JUDGE JEFFERSON MORROW, well known in the annals of MACON County, Mo. These facts disclose that this son WILLIAM lived in Caswell County N.C., which was the home of what we call the HAW RIVER MORROWS, or Orange County, N.C. set. This is complicating indeed. Also Mrs. Houts says JAMES, JOHN and William (Sons of the first David, Are the MORROWS who lived in Montgomery Co. Tenn. at one time”.

JUDGE DECATUR FRANKLIN MORROW, distinguished RUTHERFORD COUNTY, N.C. citizen, was a son of NEVILS MORROW who was the son of ALFRED MORROW, who was the son of JAMES MORROW, who was the son of one of the five MORROWS shown on the U.S. Census of Rutherford, Co. in 1790. Which one, we do not know, but prior to his death, he said, speaking of this JAMES MORROW, who left the first will (Of Morrows) on the records there in 1858:

“I know of my own knowledge that my great grand-father’s name was JAMES GILLIS MORROW. My great grand-mother was a SETTLE and her name was Elizabeth, and her mother was a BAXTER. My grand-mother told me that when my great grand-father came over from Ireland that there was a son born on the voyage, but do not rember his name”

Notes on Chilhowee Township

There are ancient Indian ruins in Sec. 28, Township 44, Range 27 on hillside.

The first church was Cumberland Presbyterian 1858. Known as Pisgah.

J.B. & Robert Morrow were pioneer revivalists. The Chilhowee Union Chapel at oldtown was made up of Methodist Episcopal, South, Cumberland Presbyterian and 2 Methodist- they all owned it.

The Walnut Grove church located in Sec. 27 may be the oldest.

Chilhowee Cemetery is in sec. 24 just south of town.

J.B. Morrow was a justice of the peace in 1882.

Chilhowee (oldtown) was located because a man moving a large house on a cart broke down, so he set up a store there. His name was James Simpson. Mr. Simpson’s brother-in-law Samuel McFarland joined him soon and they each built homes. They succeded “Uncle Jim Morrow” who came in 1858. The town was later moved south about 1 mile when the rail road came through in 1895.

Centerview organized Nov. 17, 1870. First permanent settlement 1832.

Land sold for $10.00 per acre in 1848. Town first called Graham Station until1865.

James Stirling came in 1833, died here.

William Conway came from Tennessee in 1833 and later went to Texas where he spent the remainder of his life.

“Samuel McFarland, a native of Tennessee, came to the territory of Mo. in 1816. Later lived in Cooper & Lafayette counties and in 1843 settled in Centerview township, about 2 miles east of where the village of Centerview now stands. He went to Texas in 1850 and died ther in 1851 (book is wrong- he died in 1861). His brother George McFarland settled in Centerview in 1843 in the same locality and spent the remainder of his life there. He died prior to Civil War.” (Grave says d. 1863.)
