MCFARLAND.
1 JOHN MCFARLAND and his wife, Lydia, were immigrants under Dunbar in the fall of 1730. Aside from the fact that he and the Fullertons settled side by side in Townsend and were on intimate terms, and that the families had intermarried in Scotland, there are several strong indications that John McFarland and his family, like the Fullertons, first came to Arrowsic and Georgetown before settling at Townsend. If this be correct, then 1728 is the date of their coming to America. He built easterly from the house now owned and occupied by Silas Stinson Lewis, near Church Square. Like all others he probably built a log house which was used until mills were estab- lished, when he built a frame one. This frame house was occupied by his son Andrew, and was burned about 1773, when the "yellow house" was

FAMILY HISTORY.
built, which, in a remodeled form and moved westerly to the avenue, is the present Lewis residence. His wife's family name is unknown. They had four children, but the date of birth is only obtainable in the case of Andrew, who was born in 1725. It is certain that Ephraim was older than Andrew, and that the others were younger, how much is uncertain. Perhaps all were born before Townsend was located in, but more likely that one or two of the younger ones were born here. McFarland owned from the head of the Harbor to the Center, while the Fullerton property abutted his on the west. Townsend Avenue and the road leading to the Center nearly mark the line between these two old estates, a part of the distance being exactly on the line of division. The date of his wife's death is not known; he died in 1773. Children:

(*2) EPHRAIM2 MCFARLAND (John1). The town records are practically silent in his case. He appears as a member of the first church and it is known that he lived where Dennis S. Wylie does and had one of the first stores in town, paying the tea and coffee tax to the Lincoln County Commis- sioners immediately upon the organization of the county in 1760. His store was near the present residence of George W. Dolloff. The name of his wife and the dates of births and deaths in his family are totally wanting. Chil .:

(*3) ANDREW2 MCFARLAND (John1) m. Elizabeth - abt. 1754. They lived on the father's homestead, and the "yellow house," previously referred to, was of his building, at about the time of his father's death. Andrew fol- lowed the sea, engaged in the foreign and West India trade a greater part of the time. He had a store and became the owner of considerable real estate in town. During the Revolution he engaged in active service, holding a captain's commission. His house was a landmark for many years, and dur- ing his life it was the aristocratic feature of the town. From a society point of view it is plainly evident that he and his family were foremost, and many indications exist to show they were ambitious for the lead in that direction. His will shows the possession of tracts of land about the Harbor, on Barter's Is., on the Damariscotta, the greater part of Spruce Point and Green Is. in Penobscot Bay. He d. Dec. 25, 1780; she d.

(*7) BENJAMIN8 MCFARLAND ( Ephraim,2 John1) m. Margaret Murray, 1799. She may have been an unrecorded daughter of John and Ann Murray; otherwise she cannot be connected with the main Boothbay family of that name. He lived for a time on his father's homestead, but removed from town and settled in the vicinity of Belfast. He followed the sea and none of his descendants in name live in this locality at present. Children: I, Eliza- beth, b. July 9, 1780; m. Nathaniel Pinkham, 1799. If, John, b. Apr., 1785. III, Margaret, b. July 8, 1788; m. Samuel Wilson. IV, Ephraim, b. Oct. 13, 1791. V, Lydia, b.

Andrew McFarland was a prosperous master mariner, engaged in the foreign trade. His second wife evidently endeared herself much to the Boothbay people in her two years of life among them, for we find in these genealogies at least half a score of namesakes of Mary Sales.
(*14) JOHN MURRAY8 MCFARLAND (Andrew,2 John1) m. Margaret, dau. of Paul and Margery (Beath) Reed. He was the first postmaster in Booth- bay and throughout his career one of the principal men of affairs in town. He has been described to the author by those who remember him as a man of slight frame, weighing not more than 130 pounds; of a careful, conserva- tive turn, free from impulsiveness and thoroughly calculating in all under- takings. He was town treasurer for 32 years. His townsmen implicitly relied upon him as to both judgment and integrity. See Chaps. XVI, XIX and XXI. He died July 13, 1831; she died Feb. 9, 1857. Children:

FAMILY HISTORY.
NOTE .- There are references in early probate records, also in deposi- tions, to a James McFarland, a contemporary, apparently, of John. No descendants have appeared in town of this man, but it is thought that they were brothers, that both settled here for a time and that James went back to Pemaquid, where he founded the Bristol family of this name.
McGUNIGLE.
Peter McGunigle was born in Pictou, N. S., Dec. 29, 1814. As a young man he came to Maine and engaged first at Camden, then at Thomaston and later at East Boothbay as a ship blacksmith. He m. Clementina Young, Thomaston, 1852. He followed his trade up to within a year or two before his death, which occurred Jan. 31, 1906. He was a man of strong convic- tions, influential in his church, the Methodist at E. B., and an ardent advo- cate of prohibition. Children: I, George A., b. Mar. 29, 1855; m. Clara M.

MCKOWN.
1 PATRICK MCKOWN came from Glenarm, County of Antrim, Ireland, to Townsend late in the fall of 1763. He was accompanied by his sister Mary, who afterward married John Daws, and his cousin, the Rev. John Murray.

HISTORY OF BOOTHBAY.
They landed at New York and proceeded at once to Townsend. He settled on what has since been known as Mckown's Point, where his son William afterward lived. He was born in Antrim, in 1739, the son of Robert and Nancy (Ford) Mckown. He married Margery, the daughter of William Fullerton, Jr., in the fall of 1767. It is thought that Robert Mckown, Bristol, who died in 1777, was his brother. Patrick McKown died Jan. 24, 1779. His widow afterward married Rev. Ezekiel Emerson, Georgetown, one of the leading Presbyterian ministers of his time. She died Feb. 21, 1824. The eleventh clause in his will was: "My estate or house and garden in Taberwyne street in Glenarm in the County of Antrim, Ireland, adjoining to the house formerly possessed by George Eaton I give and bequeath to my eldest son Robert if he shall go there for it, if not then to my second son William if he shall go there for it, and in his default to my youngest son John on the same terms." His will was drawn eleven days before his death. Chil .:

(*4) WILLIAM2 MCKOWN (Patrick1) m. Polly, dau. of Samuel and Mary Thompson. He first set. where John M. Hodgdon lives, but later went to Mckown's Point, where he afterward lived. He was a sea captain, engaged in the West India trade and followed the business many years. From him has descended one of the largest and most widely known families of seamen in Maine. When he was a young man, mate of his vessel, they were lying in the harbor of a West Indian city, the captain and one of the crew ashore, when an insurrection started. To rescue them was a desperate undertaking, for the firing was general all about the wharves and throughout the city, but, undaunted, he took a boat, rowed ashore, searched out his companions and together they reached the vessel in safety. He died Apr. 7, 1846; she died May 19, 1860. Children:

S. frigate Constitution when he disap- peared and was never afterward heard from.

MADDOCKS.
1 PALGRAVE MADDOCKS was b. in Kennebunkport in 1781. He was son of Pelsgrave Maddox (as the names appear in Bradbury's Hist. of Kenne- bunkport), who m. Mary Huff, and grandson of Henry Maddox, who came to Kennebunkport from Berwick, and was killed by an accident, Oct. 8, 1750. Palgrave came to Cape Newagen Island as a young man and married Rhuhama, dau. of Samuel and Elizabeth (Thompson) Pierce, in 1804. He bought of Samuel Pierce the property which has always since been in the family name, now being owned by his grandson, William T. Maddocks. Upon this place his sons, Joseph and John, conducted one of the earliest bank-fishing establishments, and for a time the largest in either town. The property included Dogfish Head. The portion where the buildings and fish- ing stand were erected shows unmistakable signs of having been one of the favorite haunts of the Indians, see p. 40. The probate records of Lincoln County show no family of this name prior to 1800; but there was a Maddocks family in Boothbay early as 1790, for in that year John Maddocks and Eliza- beth Kennedy, both of B., were married. Some other references could be made, but the disappearance from record later indicates a removal from town. Palgrave d. July 25, 1848; Rhuhama, wife, d. Mar. 25, 1868. Chil .:
