Allen Farquhar
« on: Wednesday 14 November 18 18:32 GMT (UK) »
I am digging into my wife's ancestry and she also has folk from Aberdeenshire in her tree, one Allen Farquhar.

From what I have been able to ascertain he was born in Aberdeenshire in 1681, got married to Susanna Patterson in Raphoe, Ulster in 1703 before migrating to Maryland, where he died in 1738.

They had at least one son, also called Allen, born in Ulster in 1719.

In particular I am trying to get back beyond Allen senior, and see where in Aberdeenshire his roots were.

Closest I can find in the OPR Births is:

FARQUHARE
ALEXANDER

Parents GEORGE FARQUHARE/MARJORIE PAIPE

04/06/1679

Aberdeen

There is also:

 FARQUHAR          father JAS. FARQUHAR   04/10/1685   Monymusk
ALEXANDER


There are no Allen Farquhars or variant spellings at all that I can see from 1650 -1700 in all of Scotland.

Good luck!
