Results of 111 marker DNA tests prove conclusively that Daniel McFarland (Died 1738 Worcester) was by DNA a MacGregor. The change in name probably was after the Proscription of the name by Edict of the King, the result of the Battle of Glen Fruin (1603). There are, as of 2013, 3 lines of McFarlands that are closely related by DNA: the McFarland deces of Daniel McFarland of Worcester, Mass; various McFarland/McFarlane lines in the Valley of Virginia (those deces of Duncan McFarland and Ann/Eliz Porter); and the McFarlands of Orange Co, NC (the line of William McFarland and his possible wife Keziah Pierce).
