Notes:

1 - Levina (a48) with seven children farming there. His father's place of birth is given as Ireland. The 1900 census from Wolf Creek, PA also shows (Jame's son) John A McFarlin (a77) and wife Levina (Kimmel) (a68) now living alone there. The plac e of birth given for John's father (James) is, again, Ireland. These two data give further "proof" that Margery McFarlin came to America at least after about 1796, since James' birthdate appears to be 1795.

The 1882 History of Mercer co, Pennsylvania (*1) wrote a biography o f John A McFarlin, quoted here;
"JOHN A MCFARLIN, farmer, post-office Centretown, (in Wolf Creek, Merc er co) is a son of James and Melissa (Hard) McFarlin, natives of Irela nd. His grandfather, John, immigrated to America in 1797 with his wife , Margery, and six children. He wa s killed east of the Mountains, an d his widow with her children visited her brother at New Bedford, Penn ., for about one year, and then moved to Trumbull County, Ohio, wher e the father of our subject was reared and engaged in farming and dist i lling. His wife was a native of Vermont, and by her he had nine child ren, five of whom are still alive. He died in 1838 and his widow in 18 86. Their living children are: Mary, widow of William Breckenridge, li ving in Illinois: Louisa, Mrs. Dani el Jacobs, of Kansas; Sarah, Mrs. L eonard Hogg, of Illinois Robert W., of Illinois. and our subject, wh o was born in Trumbull County, Ohio. June 1823, and was educated at th e public schools.
"In 1852 he (John) went to California and engaged in gold mining for t hree years. In 1861 he purchased his present farm, where he has sinc e resided. In 1855 he married Lovina W., daughter of Isaac and Annie K . (Wick) Kimmell, of Ohio, and by th is union has seven children: Gran t W., of Worth Township, married to Mary, daughter of Henry and Jane H owe, of Worth Township, and has two children, Alice and Luella; Willia m J., of Springfield Township, married Mary Sopher, daughter of Joh n S opher, of this Township, and has two children, John L. and Lewis C . ; Elmer, of Kansas, married Belle Blakely, of Clyde, Kas. ; Lizzie , Lillian, Frank O., Annie M. and Louise Blanche.
"Our subject has held the offices of supervisor, school director and a ssessor of the township. He and family are members of the Methodist Ep iscopal Church of Fairview, of which he is class-leader and steward, a nd has been trustee."

The 1900 census from Wolf Creek, PA shows John A McFarlin (a77) and hi s wife Levina (Kimmel) (a68) now living alone there, beside his son Gr ant's farm. This 1900 census, along with the 1880 census, also gives t he place of birth for John's fathe r James to be in Ireland. These tw o data give further proof that John A's grandmother, Margery McFarli n came to America at least after 1796, since her son James' birthdat e appears to be 1795, and he was born in Ireland.

John Anderson McFarlin is reported to have died in Wolf Creek 1901. H e is buried in Union Home Cemetery in Wolf Creek.
