I don't have a lot of information on this branch of the Farquhar Family, but what I do have is as follows:George Farquhar was born on 13 Apr. 1745 in Reay, Caithness and died on 1 September, 1779 in Charleston, S.C.He married Elizabeth Sherwood on 5 Oct. 1770 in Charleston, S.C.Elizabeth was born on 15 Oct. 1746 in Charleston, and died on 10 Apr. 1813 in S.C.I have five children listed for George and Elizabeth (all girls, so the Farquhar name ended there).They are Margaret Manson Farquhar, born 29 July 1771 in Charleston, S.C., married James Carey Green on 16 Mar. 1797 in Charleston, and died 2 Dec. 1806.Next was Mary Farquhar, born 24 Dec. 1773 in Milledge, GA, married 28 Jan, 1790 in Charleston to Alexander Jones, died 5 Sept. 1835 in Providence, R.I.The last three daughters all died very young, Lalier Elizabeth Farquhar, born 19 Jan, 1776, died 6 Oct. 1776; Elizabeth Farquhar, b. 2 Oct. 1777, died 24 May 1778 and Jane Farquhar, born 31 May 1779, died 19 Feb, 1780.
As to their ancestors, I believe that George's father was John Farquhar, but I don't know his mother's name.I also believe that George had a sister, Kathrine, born 18 Feb. 1749 and a brother, Henry, born 3 Nov, 1751, both in Reay, Caithness.
