NOTE:- It has been learned all land surrounding Woodlawn United Church
\nand the beautiful old cemetery was once FARQUHARSON land. <\/em><\/p>\n

Family History Insert:- <\/strong>JOHN FARQUHAR arrived at Shelburne<\/a> as a Loyalist in November 1783, in company with RICHARD MULHALL, to whom he could have been indentured. He was reported as being single, age 23, did not receive land because of marital status (Shelburne Historical Society<\/a>). Richard Mulhall received a town lot, but did not stay in Shelburne. I was also told both were “attached” to the 76th Regiment of Foot, but must have been “non-combative”as neither name appears. We do know both had been imprisoned 1781-1783 in Virginia. Both were known for skills in the masonry trade — research continuing.<\/p>\n

Sixth Generation:<\/strong>– Research is continuing re the JOHN FARQUHAR and JANE (FARQUHARSON) FARQUHAR\u00a0 family\u00a0 but to date some of the information about family members is known.<\/p>\n

Seventh Generation:<\/strong>–
\n3\u00a0 JOHN HENRY FARQUHAR & SUSANNAH JOHANNA HAGEN Married 16 November 1817 — Marriage Bond available<\/p>\n

It is believed\u00a0JOHN HENRY FARQUHAR came to the Liverpool<\/a> area about 1810 in company with Richard Bartholomew Mulhall, and again, the work was with masonry. Relationship with the two families has not been proven, but naming patterns of children were similar.<\/p>\n

One record shows Susannah Johanna Hagen had a son, JOHN FRASER HAGEN, in 1814, who was baptized in 1815 at the Methodist Church, Hunt’s Point, Queens County, Nova Scotia.\u00a0 It is believed he married MARGARET ____, and they had two daughters. Research continuing. John Fraser Hagen changed his surname to Farquhar at some point. His brother, Andrew Farquhar, admitted him to the present Hillsview Acres, Middlefield, Queens County, Nova Scotia in 1892, where he died 26 Oct 1898. [Place of burial unavailable from D.
