McFARLAND. John and Elizabeth (McMillan) McFarland were natives of
Ireland, and came with their family to America in the early part of the last century, settling in 1803 in Indiana county, Pa., on the farm now occupied by Michael Stiles. In a short time they removed to a farm in Brushvalley township near by, containing 400 acres, improved this land, and erected buildings, and raised and maintained their family thereon. John McFarland died in 1823, at the age of fiftythree, his widow passing away in 1841, at the age of seventy. They had children as follows: Robert, deceased; Daniel; John, deceased; Elizabeth, deceased, who was the wife of Samuel Stewart; Mary; William, who married a Miss Sutton; and James, who married Sarah McCartney, who was born Aug. 30, 1815, daughter of John and Sarah (Bryan) McCartney.

Daniel McFarland, son of John, was born in 1800 in the Tuscarora valley, in Mifflin county, Pa., and died in 1894. He was connected with the state militia many years, serving ten years as lieutenant and ten years as captain. He married Sarah Kennedy, and his children were: William, who married Ella Young (he was a soldier in the Civil war); Elizabeth Catharine, who married George M. Stephens; Isabelle, who married William Asbury Stephens; Ann Amelia, who married John McKesson, who is now deceased; and John, who married Laura Frankhouser.

John married Elizabeth McMilian, daughter of John McMillan and Ann. (Elizabeth McMilian was born about 1771 in Ireland and died in 1841 in Indiana, Pennsylvania.)
