Researching MCPHERSON's from MIDDLESEX and HUNTERDON CO NJ. Also several
other counties. This name is spelled a variety of ways in early NJ Documents
including :
McFARSON, Mcferson, MACKFARSON, Macforsen, MicFerson and even Farfason.

I guess any combination you can imagine that might phonetically sound similar
to McPHERSON. My earliest known ancestor is SAMUEL MCFARSON b. April 4, 1709
possibly in PISCATAWAY, MIDDLESEX CO. NJ. His Earmark is recorded in
PISCATAWAY Records in 1728. Later moved to KINGWOOD Twp. HUNTERDON CO. NJ.
Other McPHERSON's include : JAMES b. 1716, WILLIAM, REUBEN, DAVID, THOMAS.
Some or all may be brothers. Looking for Parents of SAMUEL McPHERSON b. 1709
and his siblings.
