Macfarlane, John Menzies (1833–92), Adjutant, Second Battalion, Cedar City. There is debate about whether John Macfarlane was at the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Judge John Cradlebaugh issued a warrant for his arrest in 1859. John D Lee’s confession in Mormonism Unveiled asserts Macfarlane’s presence, but with some uncertainty. Macfarlane served as an attorney on the defense team for Dame and Lee in 1875, and there is speculation that Lee’s lead attorney and editor, William W. Bishop, added Macfarlane’s name to Lee’s original manuscript because of a personal dislike for him.
