A letter from Emily Jane (Kelly) (Caledon, County Tyrone) which was sent in 1956 to Thomas A. McFarland (Montana, USA) haqs helped in 2017 to tie together the descendents of Catherine, Andrew (Jr.), and Charlotte. Emily was a daughter of Charlotte (McFarland) Kelly. Charlotte, Andrew, and Catherine were siblings. Emily's letter implies that she was beyond the age of 82 (born before 1874). Among other references to people near her home, Emily writes "There will soon be nobody here at all, but they may all find a change. Far away fields are green", which implies that in 1956, all of Emily's close relatives were either beyond reproductive age, or had moved away from her community.
An alternate website purports to contain a partial 1766 census of Carnteel Parish; 3 McFarlands are listed, but no Andrew.
Also, the 1829 Freeholders registry for County Tyrone lists an Andrew McFarland living in Aughnacloy, the only McFarland listed for Carnteel Parish. It seems reasonable that this person is the same as the Andrew McFarland who signed the Carnteel Vestry Book in 1795-1801. Assuming he was born about 1760, this man would be about age 70 in 1829, and retired to a softer life in town. The 1829 Freeholders registry lists 7 other people named "Andrew McFarland" living elsewhere in County Tyrone.
Evelynn Cartwright explains: Voters, Poll, Freemen and Freeholders Records are lists of people entitled to vote, or of people actually voting at elections. They are normally arranged on a county, city or borough basis. Freeholders were substantial farmers of the Irish counties who had the right to vote, while freemen or free citizens of cities and boroughs had votes. In cities, freeholders who qualified through their land as well as freemen who qualified through their trade voted in elections, but usually borough elections only involved freemen.
The table data below is compatible with a 25-30 year age difference between father and son, a Vestry book signing at about age 30, and an arrival in Carnteel Parish in the early 1700s. The short-lived Andrew John #1 (not shown in table) born 1863 to the last of these 5 Andrews when the father was age 33.

Assumptions: [1] Each of the 3 occurrences of "Andrew McFarland" in the Vestry books is the father of the next. [2] The "Andrew McFarland" in the interval 1795-1801 is the father of Andrew (born 1790) [3] Estimates of DOB assume the individual was 25 at the birth of the next in this list [4] Age at the birth of the last child was less that 55 Comment: A Vestry book signer must be at least 18 years old and must have "subscribed to church funds", which probably meant a practical minimum signing age of about 30 |
PRONI (Public Records Office of Northern Ireland) retains Church of Ireland parish records, including records for the parishes of Carnteel, Errigal Keerogue, Cappagh, and for both Church of Ireland and Presbyterian Church. In 2008, Carnteel baptism, marriage, and burial records, and Errigal Keerogue baptism records were searched from earliest (1805) to 1860 for persons named "McFarland" linked to the townland Armaloughy. Searching after 1860, and searches of Presbyterian records was not requested. In the box below is email from PRONI in Belfast suggesting what records they have, for future searching.
|
The father of Andrew (born 1790) appears to be listed on page 72 from the Carnteel Vestry book
(Mormon microfilm #1279327). Andrew (born 1790) was about 11 years old in 1801.
An index of "Before 1845 Civil Registration of marriage records" survives, available as Morman film FHL # 100859. This document is an index only (the actual marriage records have not survived). It was checked for the surname "McFarland" (35 records, of which 5 were prior to 1822, the birth year of Andrew's daughter Catherine) and three similar surnames (McFarlaine, McFarlan, and McFarlane), none of which had a recognizable link to our family.

Regarding records for the surname "Delap", Evelynn Cartwright found a Mrs. Delap (aged 70) died 6 January 1864 (record date 19 Jan),
and "John Delap died 30 Dec 1868, only son of Seargeant Delap, late Omagh Constabulary". Using RootsIreland website, more records
can be found, such as the death of Betty Delap in 1851, and death of Susan Delap in 1868, both in Dungannon (registrar's district).

The name "Henry Smith" on the above form remains a mystery. There is a "Henry Smith" in the Tithe Applotment Books (1823-1838) in the Parish of Errigal Keerogue, Coolagary Townland (year 1833). Evelynn Cartwright reports "There are only 2 marriages listed for a Henry Smith. There was one in Dungannon in 1862 to a Jane Standage. Since Andrew's father had died by then this could be a friend of his."
