Kathy,
Walter McFarland is my GGG Grandfather. I had also seen Samuel in the 1850 census and wondered how the two families tied in. I didn't know John Rackliff was married to Susan McFarland!
Now, in an 1883 map I have of Detroit, Maine J.D.Rackliff's store was two doors down from Walter McFarland's Inn. Also, Walter's Daughter Lewella (old english spelling) married Charles F. Davis. This has me wondering if he was a relative of Ezekiel Davis.

A Rackliff served as a Town Officer for many years in the mid-late 1800's in Detroit, ME. If I remember correctly, he was the Treasurer. W. McFarland was a Selectman. Hence, their lives were very much intertwined.

I just purchased an old booklet on the History of Detroit, Maine. It makes reference to both the Rackliffs & McFarlands.

Did Ezekiel and Susan have children together?
