Looking for any possible McCutcheon's that can trace their family history back to Tyrone County, Northern Ireland to a John McCutcheon and a Mary McFarland. My Great Grandfather was their son William McCutcheon (born 1865-1870). He emigrated to Canada (Ontario) in 1887. He had at least one brother we know of, Samuel who also emigrated to Canada in 1891 with a possible cousin Thomas McFarland. Samuel McCutcheon headed “West” and all contact was lost - as did the Thomas McFarland. They may have ended up in the USA or western Canada. In 1894, William returned to NI and brought their mother Mary (McFarland) McCutcheon to Canada. She died in Ontario in 1899. Her age on death registration was 78 BUT her age on passenger listing from 1894 was only 50. It is possible that these McCutcheon’s & McFarland’s originate from around the Dunbreen/Tattynure areas of Tyrone County but I have been unable to trace them. Mary (McFarland) McCutcheon may be related to the following McFarland's -

If the above information connects with your family history in any way OR you have any info about the families, I would love to hear from you – please feel free to contact me.
Have just discovered more information about the McFarland family I am trying to connect with..... I now strongly believe that my Great Great Grandmother, Mary McFarland was a sister of David McFarland and a daughter of James McFarland......... the records below were submitted to the LDS but I believe this is the family I am looking for AND that the Thomas, born 1870 and listed as died 1888, may not have died in 1888 BUT may have been the Thomas McFarland that emigrated to Canada in 1891 with my Great Grandfather's brother Samuel McCutcheon........
