----------  FROM History of Adair County
"Among the prominent, as well as pioneer, settlers of Harrison township 
is William McAferty, who resides on section 23. He came from Madison 
county and settled upon the farm now owned by M.L. Beaman, on section 20, 
in the year 1857. William McAferty is the son of John and Letitia (Leach) 
McAferty, and was born in 1839, in Linn county, Iowa. He moved from there
to Madison county in 1855, where he lived for two years, and then came to 
this county, where he has since resided. He has a farm of two hundred 
and forty acres, eighty of which is under cultivation, and the other one 
hundred and sixty is fenced. A fine grove surrounds two acres, and there is 
also a good orchard. It is a finely located farm, being well adapted for 
the raising of grain, all of which is fed on the farm, he being extensively 
engaged in stock-raising. His father died in California in 1853, and his mother 
now resides in Greenfield, being the wife of William McDonald.  
Mr. McAferty is a member of the A. F. and A.M., having become a Mason in Dexter."
