Notes:

ALEXANDER MCFARLAND - COITSVILLE, OHIO (and Wisconsin) BLACKSMITH (181 1 to 1883)
(Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, updated May, 2019)

Alexander McFarland was born Nov first 1811 in Coitsville, in (then) T rumbull co, Ohio at his parents home south of the village center. He w as the oldest of nine surviving children and was named after his fathe r.
Williams states that most of Alexander's seven sons and two daughters , "settled in this vicinity" (*1 p 168). This Alexander's name and bir thdate was taken from the IGI and his father's estate settlement.
In March, 1833, the inventory of his father's estate states, "... Alex , late of Poland...", and later states, "...goods set off to widow an d children; sale held 16 Apr 1833... Alex, of Coitsville... some of th e buyers were: Andrew, Margaret, Wi lliam, and Alexander McFarlane... p artial settlement, mentions cash paid to Alex. McFJr and Andrew McF.. . "(*2)
This son Alexander, born 1811, is likely helping his mother, Margare t settle his father's 1833 estate as shown above. About 1835 he marrie d Mary Lane of nearby Poland Ohio, daughter of shoemaker Samuel Lane , born in Maryland.
By 1840, Alexander McFarland is living just south of Coitsville in Pol and, Ohio almost next to his older brother John. Alexander is "engage d in manufacture and trade", likely blacksmithing. He has just his wif e and two little boys under five li ving there with him. In 1850 "Alex " is living in Coitsville, next to his widowed mother, Margaret McFarl and. He and his wife Mary have six children now with the two oldest bo ys; Alex age 14 and Samuel age 12. Nearby in Poland lives his wife Ma r y's father Samuel Lane, shoemaker.
Around 1852 their fourteen year-old son Samuel died. (Alex and Mary i n 1857 have a another son they named Samuel.)
In 1855, Alexander McFarlin(sic) bought a section of land in Wisconsin . Between 1855 and 1858, Alex, Mary and six children moved to Grand Ma rsh, Adams co, Wisconsin. They are listed there in 1860 with a new so n Samuel and (Mary's father) Samue l Lane, retired shoemaker, who is he lping run the home farm while Alex continues blacksmithing. Then in 18 70 they are all in Lincoln, Adams co Wisconsin where Alex continues bl acksmithing. Their son Stewart has now married and lives next door w it h his wife Frances Mary and baby daughter. Adjacent to Stewart lives A lex's daughter Sarah her son Samuel and daughter Amanda. So, four of t he children have come to Wisconsin to settle alongside their parents . Also in this family community i s Mary McFarlin's father Samuel Lane , back to shoemaking at age 79.
SAMUEL WINEGAR
A curious parallel is noted here. In the 1840 Poland, Ohio census ther e is a certain Samuel "Wingar" listed between Alexander McFarland (bla cksmith) and his brother John McFarland. In 1850 this Samuel "Wingard " had moved to Walworth co, Wiscons in. In 1860 Samuel "Wyenger" and fa mily were living in Grand Marsh, Adams co, Wisconsin, as was Alexande r McFarland and his family. Then, in 1870 Samuel "Winegar" and Alexand er McFarland and their families were in the same town; Lincoln, Ada m s co, Wisconsin. Ten years later in 1880, Samuel "Winegar" and his so n Frank were living next door to William McFarland and (brother) Stewa rt McFarland. This constant connection of families and places usuall y means intermarraige, but just wha t the connection is has not been de termined yet.
The Lincoln, Wisconsin 1880 census lists blacksmith Alex McFarlin an d wife Mary with 22 year-old son Samuel who is helping on their home f arm. Important note; Alex's father is listed as born in Ireland. Als o living nearby are their other two so ns, William and Stewart, each wi th their own homes and families. Seventy-one year-old Samuel C Winega r is living next to the two McFarlin sons.
Alexander McFarlin died 14 Dec 1883 in Adams co, Wisconsin and his wif e Mary died 13 Dec 1891. They both were buried in the Newchester cemet ery, Grand Marsh , Adams co, Wisconsin with many of their family.
