THE MARCY FAMILY
ANCESTRY OF MARCY FAMILY OF HOLLAND
By Mrs. Ellen M. Webber.
1. John1 Marcy was the son of the high sheriff of Lime- rick, Ireland. He was born about the year 1662; joined Elliot's Church in Roxbury, Mass., March 7, 1685. Among his descend- ants are the late Secretary of State, William Larned Marcy, General Randolph B. Marcy and Erastus E. Marcy M. D., now well known to our history and literature.
De Marcy, or simply Marcy, is now a name quite common in France and its colonies. The name appears to have come into Normandy with Rollo (A. D. 912) thenee it went to England with William the Conqueror (A. D. 1068) and became very common in Cheshire, where the orthography is now universal- ly Massey or Massie. In this form (Massey) it is common in the English and Irish Peerage.
In evidence that the present Freneh form of the name ob- tained somewhat in England, I find in "The Patents of King John" A. D. 1208 mention made of one "Radus de Marey."
In April 1686, John Marcy with twelve other men took possession of Quatosett (Woodstock, Conn.), granted (1663), by the colony of Massachusetts to the town of Roxbury. He mar- ried Sarah Hadlock, daughter of James and Sarah (Draper) Hadlock, of Roxbury. She was born Dec. 16, 1670. They lived and died in Woodstock. He died Dec. 23, 1724, aged 62 years, she died May 9, 1743, aged 73.

THE MACFARLAND FAMILY
THE MACFARLIN, MACFARLANE, MACFARLAND FAMILY.
By Chase.
"Tell to those who have one drop of McFarlane blood in their veins of their noble origin."
Mrs. C. M. Little.
An old Philosopher has said :- "All men who have done anything of value ought to record the history of their lives. Eventful periods occur rarely in the lives of men most dis- tinguished, but there are few whose lives are not marked by some experiences which are sufficient to excite interest and exert an influence for good in the spectator."
Origin of the name MacFarlane, MacFarlin, MacFarland and other forms.
Aluin 2nd Earl of Lenox, who was descended in direct male line from Kenneth III., King of Scotland, left among other progeny three sons, Malduin who became his successor as 3rd Earl of Lenox, Auly, who founded the family of Foslane and Gilchrist who was ancestor of the Laird MacFarlane. His son Duncan was named in old charters as "Duncan Filius Gilchrist" meaning son of Gilchrist. Malduin had a son Parthelon (Gælic for Bartholemew). Parthelon soon came to be written Pharlan or Pharlane, his son was called Mac Pharlane, meaning son of Pharlane, then the Ph was changed for F making it MacFarlane and this was taken for the Clan name, altho for three genera- tions they had been known as Mac Gilchrist.
There are many now who retain the name of Gilchrist or MacGilchrist who claim to belong to the MacFarlane family. Sir Walter Scott in Waverley and in Rob Roy spells the name Macfarlane and in Cadyon Castle speaks of the "Wild Mac- farlane's plaided Clan." Those of the Clan who fled to Ireland, and emigrated to America, a century after, by a peculiar pro- nunciation of the Irish which gave the final "e" the sound of "d" adapted their spelling of the name to the Irish form mak- ing it MacFarland. The branch of the family that we are tracing descended from Purthe (which could easily have been a corruption of Parthelon) who came directly from Scotland to
