• Notes

  Andrew McFarland, born in Ireland circa 1690, emigrated to Boston with his father and several siblings in 1718. He settled in Worcester. "He was a successful farmer and became quite an extensive land owner, not only in Worcester, but in Rutland and Pelham. He held various public offices in the town, and was assigned the second seat in the body of the meeting house May 1733. ... "He died at his homestead established on Pleasant Street, June 4, 1761, aged 71 years. ... "Andrew was buried on the Common in that ancient cemetery. His tombstone bears the following inscription: "Reader, keep death and judgment always in your eye. None's fit to live, but who is fit to die." -- From "Descendants of Daniel McFarland," compiled by Henry B. Crane, Worcester Society of Antiquity, 1907.
