ALEXANDER MCFARLAND (1839 - 1895)
Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, revised Oct, 2018)

Alexander 'McFarlane' was born in Coitsville, Ohio where his father An
drew was living on the road near the Poland town line, south of Coitsv ille Center. By 1850 the Andrew 'McFarlane' family had moved into Pola nd near the McKeevers, Struthers and Hoggs. At that time eleven year-o ld Alexander had five sisters an
d one younger brother, John (a four ye ar-old twin with Hannah). His mother Ann had been born in Pennsylvania . By 1860 Alexander 'McFarland' had just married Margaret (nee' Book ) and was living in Irwin, Venango co, Pennsylvania next to his pare nt s who had also moved there. Both he and his father were listed as farm ers, the most common occupation of the time and place.
Alex 'McFarland' had moved by 1870 to Hickory township (P.O. New Castl e), Lawrence co, PA. Here he owned a modest home and was identified a s a 'teamster'. Now he and Margaret had four children; Sarah M. age 8 , Margaret age 6, Julius H. age 4, a nd Clarinda (sic), ie Clarence, bo rn in May, 1870.
Alex 'McFarland' moved his family again by 1880 to West Lackawanna, Me rcer co, PA where he was working in a sawmill along with two boarder s he had taken in. Only two children were living with Alex and Margare t then; Julius H. age 14, and Claren ce E. age ten (now identified a s a male).
Alexander McFarlin was buried in the United Brethren Cemetery in Wes t Middlesex co, Beaver PA. Headstone gives dates; b 19 Mar 1839 an d d 4 Nov 1895. His wife Margaret is also named on headstone but wit h only date of birth as 1838.
No further data found for Alex and Margaret McFarland.

ANDREW MCFARLAND (1812 to after 1870)
(Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May 2012 - updated May 2019)

Williams states that most of Alexander's seven sons and two daughters , "settled in this vicinity" (*1 p 168). This Andrew's name and birthd ate was taken from the IGI, and from his father's estate.
In March, 1833, the inventory of Andrew's father's estate states, ".. . Alex, late of Poland..." and later, that, "...Goods set off to wido w and children; Sale held 16 Apr 1833... Alex of Coitsville, some of t he buyers were: Andrew, Margaret, Wi lliam, and Alexander McFarlane...p artial settlement, mentions cash paid to Alex. McF, jr and Andrew Mc F " (*2).
This Andrew was twenty-one at the time of his father Alexander's deat h in 1833, and was likely the buyer mentioned above. In the 1840 censu s he is living in Coitsville with his wife, two young daughters an d a son under five (Alexander).
In 1850, Andrew McFarland is living in Poland, the town adjacent and j ust to the south of Coitsville. Their children's names are; Margaret , Nancy, Alexander, Rebecca, Hannah John and Emeline. The two boys ar e named after their grandfather Alexa nder and great grandfather John o r their mother's father?
This same Andrew and wife Ann are then found in the 1860 census in nea rby Irwin, Pennsylvania, perhaps near to Ann's unknown family. Their s on Alexander is now married to Margaret Book and is living next door t o his parents Andrew and Ann.
By 1870, Andrew, Ann and five children had moved to Shenango, Mercer c o, Pennsylvania where he continued farming. Andrew lived next to his b rother Samuel McFarland there in Shenango in 1870.
I could not find further information about Andrew or Ann.

ANDREW MCFARLAND/MCFARLIN - COITSVILLE INNKEEPER AND POSTMASTER (ca178
4 to 1855)
(Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, revised DEcec, 2019)

Andrew McFarland likely was born in 1784 (or 1781/82) in (co Tyrone? ) Ireland. The earlier date is inferred from subtracting his 'aged 7 5 years' from his date of death 1855 found on his headstone in Oak Hil l Cemetery, Plymouth, Marshall co, Ind iana. However, his age given i n the 1850 Plymouth, Indiana census was '66' making his date of birt h as 1784. He is reported to have been born in Ireland, as seen from h is 1850 census as well as various of his children's later census repor ts . Andrew came to America in 1796 (*1) from county Tyrone with his f ather John, mother Margery, three brothers and two sisters. They likel y first lived in eastern Pennsylvania, since his immigrant father; ".. .John was killed east of the Mountai ns..." (*2). Then Andrew was wit h his widow mother Margery and brothers and sisters in Hopewell (New B edford), Mercer county, Pennsylvania for a few years about 1799 to 180 2. They were all living there with Margery's brother John Anderson a s i nferred from the 1800 Mercer co PA census listing for John Anderson .
Andrew arrived in Coitsville, Trumbull county, Ohio 1801-1803 and appa rently lived there initially with his older brother Alexander and thei r mother Margery at their first family farm, south of Coitsville cente r. The 1810 Coitsville records wer e the first year to show that Andre w paid taxes, meaning that he may have owned some real estate by then , possibility a 'hotel'. In those days being taxed by a town meant a t least being of adult age; twenty-one, which puts his birthdate befo r e 1789.
He and Jane Dug (Day, Beggs?), were married September 1813, in (Coitsv ille?) Trumbull co, Ohio, by Justice of the Peace, Turhand Kirtland ( b 1755 d 1844), of nearby Poland, Ohio. Andrew, "...settled in the sou thern part of the township..." (* 3 p 168). He and Jane stayed in Coits ville through 1840, as the census for that year shows an Andrew McFarl ane, age 50-60, and oldest female (his wife Jane) age 50-60, living ne xt to Margaret McFarlane (his sister-in-law), as well as near to an oth er Andrew McFarlane, age 20-30, probably his son. (Further research i n land, probate and vital records would help identify these connection s.)
This same Andrew, born 1784, is likely to be the one who signed the 18 39 Constitution of the Coitsville Presbyterian Church "...erected at t he village in 1836 or 1837..." (*3 p 170). Also likely, he is the Andr ew McFarlin who "...kept the firs t hotel, the 'Temperance House', som e years..." and Andrew was the third appointed postmaster of Coitsvill e, probably from about 1835 to 1845. "The first post road from New Bed ford, Pennsylvania, to Youngstown was established in 1827. Mail wa s re ceived once a week." (*3 p 172).
"Andrew settled in the southern part of the township, but later move d to Indiana and died. He had a large family. His sons are all dead. S everal daughters are living in Indiana." (*3-1882, p168). In the 185 0 census for 'My Division' (Plymouth ) in Marshall county, Indiana, And rew and Jane McFarlin are living with five of their children. Andrew , now sixty-six, owns his home farm and his married son John is a blac ksmith living there with him. His son John pre-deceases Andrew, dyin g N ov of 1852 in Plymouth.
It appears that Andrew died 22 August 1855 (cem inscription). His esta te was administered by his son James McFarlin of Indiana, who is a 'No tary Public'. There are numerous papers in the probate file for Andrew , including an interesting listin g of his simple personal property an d real property there. He was buried in the Oak Hill Cemetery, Plymout h, Marshall co, Indiana.
In the April 1856 Marshall co Common Pleas Court various heirs of Andr ew were named; "Jane McFarlin widow, and Margery Hard, James McFarlin , Malissa Servio, Eliza Hupp, Mary Ann McFarlin, Eleanor McFarlin an d Elvira, Adults, and Children of And rew McFarlin...". Also summoned i n May of 1856 were "...Isabel Bissell, Jane Metcalf, Henry McFarlin, M alissa Servio, Harriet McFarlin and Evaline McFarlin... in a Petitio n for partition." These official listings of Andrew's relatives confi r m many names in his family.
Andrew's wife Jane was living with their son Henry in Plymouth, Indian a in 1860. Jane at eighty-seven, did appear in the 1870 town of Center , Plymouth in Marshall county, Indiana where she is living alone as he ad of her own household. She may b e the Jane McFarlane who died in Bi g Rapids, Mecosta county, Michigan in 1874 age 87 born in Pennsylvania .

Andrew married Jane Dug or Dugan on 10 Sep 1813 in Coitsville, Mahoning, Ohio, USA. Jane was born about 1790 in Pennsylvania, USA; died on 18 Sep 1874 in Big Rapids, Mecosta, Michigan, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

JANE (Dug/Dugan?) MCFARLAND/MCFARLIN (ca1790 to 1874)
(Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - Apr 2012, revised June, 2019)

Jane (Dug/Dugan?) McFarland, born Pennsylvania, is only found named i
n her marraige record of 1813. The County clerk's handwriting show s a 'D' first letter and then either a 'u' (or two 'ee's), followed b y the last letter 'g' (not 'y'). This makes her name Deeg, or Deig, o r Dug. A possible last name for Jane ma
y have been Day, but I found n o Day families in any nearby PA or OH censuses for 1800, 1810, of 1820 . Also, in March of 1813 the same clerk entered a marraige for a Joh n Day and the name 'Day' is clearly different than 'Dug'.
Regarding another possible maiden name for Jane, I carefully looked a t various data about Jane and Andrew's 1820 neighbor Joseph Beggs (Bag gs?) family. This might be a possible last name for Jane, if the marra ige record contained a scrivener' s error. However, I continue to choos e her family name of Dug, which may also be a scrivener's error for Du gan. There is an 1816 Trumbull co Tax Record listing both Thomas and J oseph Dugan of Hartford, Ohio, three towns to the north. In the 182 0 H artford, Ohio census, a Martha Dugan and family is listed living nex t to a Thomas McFarland family and near to a John McFarland family.
Jane is likely enumerated in two Coitsville, Ohio censuses with her hu sband, Andrew;
In the 1820 Coitsville, Ohio census, just after they were married, he r age is reported at 26-45, = b1775-1794.
In the1840 Coitsville, Ohio census she appears to be born 1780-1790 (h er age = 50-60). In 1850 Plymouth, Indiana census she's reported to b e age 55 (= b1795) although this could be a scrivener's error, havin g meant 1785, not '95.
In the 1860 Indiana census she is shown living with her Justice of th e Peace son Henry McFarlin and her two unmarried daughters; Mary A an d Elvira McFarlin. In the 1870 census for Plymouth, IN she reports he r age 87, making her birth date 1793.
However, I chose her date of birth of 1790 due to her headstone inscri ption. This is also based on her likely age of about 23 when married t o Andrew in 1813. Also the 1820 and 1840 census data seem to fit thi s approximate age.
A death record for a Jane McFarlane was located in Mecosta county, Mic higan. On September 18 1874, widow housekeeper Jane McFarlane died o f 'bloody flux' in Big Rapids township, Mecosta co, Michigan. This wom an's age is listed as 87 (=b ca 1787 ), born in Pennsylvania, unknown p arents or residence. This is quite likely Jane, widow of Andrew, bor n ca 1788 in Pennsylvania. Unknown why she was in Michigan. She was bu ried in the Van Gilder Cemetery of Mecosta co, Michigan and her headst o ne is inscribed as Jane McFarlin wife of Andrew McFarlin, died 18 Sep t 1874. Her daughter Elvira (McFarlin) McDuffie was also buried in Va n Gilder Cemetery (in 1891).
