I have some information that you might find helpful. I alsohave McFarland roots. My connections are with William , who was a brother of Margaret's so the information I have is primarily from other family members and a few reasonably strong sources. Margaret McFarland who was Daniel's daughter was born abt. 1721, she married James Chesnut in about 1739. James Chestnut was born about 1716 in Ireland and died on July 9, 1755 in Virginia. They had three children James b. Abt 1742,Margaret abt. 1740, and John b. June 18, 1743.
Margaret's brother William had at least three children that I have found:Thomas b. 1745, Robert, & Rebecca. My connection is with Thomas' daughter Margaret, who married SAmuel Patterson. Her brother William MCfarland is far more famous /or infamous, and I have done a lot of research on him also. I might be able to pass along information if you need it.
