April 1 1842, Caroline Pauline Jayne was born during an Indian raid in Austin, The Republic of Texas. In fact, the church bell rang at the time of her birth indicating the raid was over. The family joked that the bell rang in celebration of her birth: A bell ringing event.
Caroline (Callie/Carrie) Jayne was the daughter of Judge Brewster Helme Jayne & Juliet Tims. She graduated from Hillman College in Clinton, Mississippi. It was said that she was a beautiful writer, played the guitar and sang. Among her other musical accomplishments, she excelled in the piano and taught all of her children to master the piano. She was raised at a time when "ladies" didn't cook, but she did learn at an early age to make jams & jellies and wine.
On 30 Sep 1828 she married Dr. Thomas Jefferson McFarland, (son of Gazaway Davis McFarland & Mary Poe). The couple had 7 children:
*Jessamine McFarland
*Marion Minter McFarland
*Pauline McFarland
*Thomas Carlisle McFarland
*Van Earl McFarland
*Juliette "Lulu" McFarland
*Carolyn Belle McFarland
She and her family lived in Indianola, Texas, when it was washed away by a tidal wave. With the little bit that was left of her home, she provided a food chain for the survivors. She was active in many local clubs, including The United Daughter's of the Confederacy - and was president of her local chapter in Port Lavaca.
Her greatest legacy was perhaps her family. She was a most beloved mother and grandmother
