Andrew McFarland

Not the same as Andrew McFarland, Sr.

THE MCFARLAND FAMILY.

Andrew was b. in Scotland, but owing to troubles there fled to Londonderry, Ireland, whence he emigrated to America, landing at Bonton, Mass., ab 1718-22; m. ab. 1722, Bettie Christy; res. Rowley, Mass., and Concord, Mass., as early as 1729, as shown by the following evidence: Josiah Jones of Concord, Mass., "husbandman," 9 Dec 1729 in consideration of "25 passable money" deeded to "Andrew McFarland of said Concord, husbandman," all his right, etc., in the Suncook land grant of the "Great and General Court" of Massachusetts, on both sides of the Merrimack river, "to the men of Capt. Lovel's command on his march to Pigwaket (Me.), said Josiah being one of these men."

Later he went to Londonderry, and afterwards to Suncook as early as 1737. He voted there on the right of Josiah Jones in the matter of settling Rev. Aaron Whittemore, and the controversy with the town of Bow. By a deed dated 27 Apr. 1745, "Andrew McFarland of Bow" conveyed to "Moses Tyler of Chester" his "house lot of 40 acres in the Right of Josiah Jones laid out by name of Suncook, with all the fences and improvements" and that on the same day" Moses Tyler of Chester" conveyed to "Andrew McFarland formerly of Bow" a tract of 80 acres of land in Chester "Situated S. E. of Great Massebesic Pond in the Right of Col. Richard Kent." This was evidently an exchange of farms. Other deeds, 1754-66, show land transactions in Chester of Andrew McFarland, and his sons, Jesse and John, situated at or near Massabesic brook, one of them where "it empties into the Great Pond."
