Note:
Allen Farquhar emigrated from his ancestral home in Maryland to Pennsylvania, probably in the spring of 1782. He was instrumental in the founding of two Quaker meetings, Westland in Bethlehem Township, Washington County (ca 1782) and Providence in Little Redstone, Washington Township, Fayette Co., PA (ca 1790's).

As told by Franklin Smith Farquhar
He purchased 109 acres of land in Washington County Pa from Thomas Cook, May 4. 1790 which he gave to his son Thomas Farquhar and then he went to Fayette County, Pa and purchased on Aug 10, 1795 from Levi Stephens and wife Elizabeth 341.6 acres, being parts of two tract known as "Leviticus" (361.6 acres) and "Deuteronomy" (413 acres). The land contained in latter was part of the two tracts-one called "Allen's Fancy" and the other "Peace".

The price Allen paid for the 341.6 acres of land is 467 pounds, 18 shillings and 9 pence. The first house Allen built at Little Redstone was made of lags. It was a structure in the form of two houses joined together in front by an open-way, and a story and a half, each side containing two four rooms. A stairway ran up on the outside in the open way to the second story. One side was used specially by the women and one by the men: this was a custom of the Quakers, living apart from each other.

One time as a young man I walked with father to the site of this old house. Its foundation outline was plainly discernable in the field where it stood. A bouncing-bet bloomed by the front door; a yellow-ocherous tinge marked the spot of the rude stone chimney. Yew, the plowing and cropping of years had not yet wiped it all out. The building stood until the 1850's my father said, about which time its huge timbers and rough workmanship had reverted to the elements.

Note:
ALLEN FARQUHAR, THE IMMIGRANT (1681-1738) was born in Scotland and was harrassed by religious persecutions (although records indicate he was not a Friend) and therefore moved to Ireland. Later, in about 1720 he emigrated to America with his wife, allegedly Susannah Patterson, daughter of Samuel Patterson (source for this is unknown) and his two sons, William born in Ireland July 29, 1705 and Allen, born in Ireland about 1719. There is a record of his estate at Manackus Miller, Prince George County, Maryland. To his wife (her name is Cathern in the will) he left one-third of his estate and the remaining two-thirds to his two sons. His son William was executor.

Land:
Allen Farquhar had an agreement from Daniel Dulany dated June 19, 1733 for the purchase of 100 acres of land on `Dulany's Lot,' provided he would settle there. He did, but he died in 1738, leaving the land to his widow Catherine and sons William and Allen, Jr. On September 28, 1739 Dulany passed formal title to son William Farquer, who was to arrange its subsequent ownership with his mother and brother. This land was situated near the northwest corner of `Dulany's Lot,' not quite on the Monocacy River, but very near to the point where Glade Creek, which passed through Farquhar's land, empties into the Monocacy. The north boundary of the land was set at N 84 degrees E 103 perches which was identified as a part of the 22nd line of `Dulany's Lot.' Whether William Farquhar occupied this land after his father's death is not known; it had been supposed that he and his younger brother remained in the Union Bridge area. On November 6, 1736, for example, the elder Allen Farquhar had conveyed the 200 acre `Killfadda' on Little Pipe Creek to his son William Farquer, `lately of Pennsylvania but now of Prince George's County,' in order to encourage his son's move from Pennsylvania to todays Union Bridge area in Carroll County. In 1757 the Farquhars sold their parcel on `Dulany's Lot' to Peter and John Berg (later Berrick; residents on the Manor to the north). The Bergs did not hold the land long and in August 1758 sold it to Stephen Ramsburg, who was fashioning a larger piece of 150 acres by combining the original Farquhar 100 acres with another 50 acres located due west, on the River."

In a letter from Joseph W. Farquhar of Union Bridge, Maryland to Elmira G. Stephens dated 8. 29. 1893 (?) he quotes from J. Switzer's History of Union Bridge, written in 1876: "Allen Farquhar was granted a patent June 10th 1734 for a tract of land containing 174 acres. The same year he purchased from John Fredane (sic) 200 acres. There is no positive proof that he ever resided on this tract, but in 1735, the said Allen Farquhar for and in consideration of his natural affection for his son William, and for the further consideration of his sons filial kindness and obedience in being willing to remove from 'ye' province of Pennsylvania to 'ye' province of Maryland conveyed to his son William by deed 200 acres of his land. In compliance with the terms of said deed William Farquhar and his wife Ann removed from Pennsylvania to Maryland and settled on this tract of land. Their conveyances were pack horses, on the backs of which they and their children and all their worldly goods and chattels were packed and carried. The country was then a wilderness and destitute of any roads except such paths as were made by wild beasts and Indians."
