Rob--
Forgive my delay in responding. Thanks so much for the picture of the
house, and the description, which I have forwarded to my parents
His middle name was Speer, named after, I believe, a neighboring family
in North Carolina of his parents, Jacob McFarland (dob about 11/1756 in
Ireland according to Revolutionary War pension application, enlisted in
January, 1776 from York Pennsylvania with Sixth Pennsylvania Regiment,
engaged in failed campaign to take Canada, fought at the Battle of Three
Rivers, for a part of the time under the command of Gen. Benedict
Arnold, later served two short enlistments in North Carolina, having
traveled there in about 1779, died in Haywood County, Tennessee on
6/20/1835) and Jane Varner (dob about 4/1769, one document from the
National Archives of which I have less than a clear copy indicates that
she was still alive in 1866, which would have made her about 98 at the
time). Thanks again for the great picture. Sometime, I would like to
get directions from you as to where the house was located, just to see
the surroundings.
