Patriarch Samuel McFarland

    Penelope McFarland is the matriarch of the McFarland's family. She had three sons from her master, John McFarland. The three sons were Samuel, Pickney, and Burrell.

    Presently, I am concentrating on Samuel's lineage.

We are first introduced to Samuel in the 1850 Slave Schedule for District 32, Forsyth, Georgia. He was born about 1848. He is again seen in the 1860 Slave Schedule for Franklin, Georgia under Rebecca McFarlin. Her husband, John McFarlin, had passed away in 1857. This is the first time I noticed the difference in counties (Forsyth and Franklin). One of many reasons to write down what you find; it helps keep  you focus.
