| 102 | E-mail correspondence 2014 from descendant Dianne Gomez: "My FamilyTree Maker notes are as follows: Elizabeth Ann McFarland's family came to Cooper County, MO on a New Madrid earthquake claim about 1816. They lived in tents on the Edwin Carl farm and she told her granddaughter, Robna Rankin, that her family kept a fire going outside the tents and were never cold all that first winter. She was born in a log cabin on the Carl farm in 1824. ... The Carl farm was just down the road from our homestead which became Rankin's Mill on the Petite Saline creek outside of Boonville, MO. ...I don't know if I told you that my cousin, Dale Smith, now farms the old homestead and is the 5th generation to own the farm. It is a place of deep emotion and memory for all of my Smith/Rankin family. The "big" house was built in 1850 by William Rankin and Elizabeth McFarland Rankin and my aunt lives in it now. The family story is that they lived in a log cabin at the foot of the hill by the creek and William Rankin milled the boards to build the house at Rankin's Mill. They carried their infant son, Robert, up the hill through the wheat fields to the house and his gown (as babies wore in those days) dragged across the top of the wheat. I've heard that story all my life. " | McFarland, Elizabeth (I26030)

| 103 | ELIZABETH (LOVELAND) MCFARLAND/MCFARLIN (1790 to 1881) OHIO PIONEER (Research by her gr gr grandson Peter Folsom McFarlin, - Jan 17, 201 1 reviewed Dec 2019) Elizabeth (Betsey) Loveland arrived in April of 1799 from Vermont int o the Western Reserve of Connecticut, which soon became Coitsville, Oh io. She was about age nine, and traveled with her siblings and pioneer ing parents, Amos and Jemima (Dicki nson) Loveland. Amos Loveland; Revolutionary Soldier, Surveyor, Pioneer and Farmer There is much found in the records and histories about Elizabeth’s fat her; Amos Loveland which will not be presented here. But, here's som e of his interesting story anyway. Amos was the third of five boys and eight girls. While living in Glast onbury, Connecticut, on 1 May 1777, he enlisted at age fourteen for th ree years in the CT Continental Line's Seventh Regiment. He took par t in the battle of Germantown, and w as discharged 1 May 1780. Amos ree nlisted 1 July 1780 as a private in the Second CT Regiment and was dis charged again 9 December 1780 (*a). Now just 18 years old and a three- year veteran of the successful American Revolution, he returned to Gl a stonbury. In 1785, at age twenty-two, he married Jemima Dickenson, dau ghter of David and Beriah (Loveland) Dickenson. The couple immediatel y headed for the new opportunities now found in Vermont, made safer fo r settlement by the end of the Re volutionary hostilities. They settle d and started their family in Vershire (and Chelsea?), Vermont, livin g there for thirteen years. He is found there in the first federal dec ennial census of 1790. (He is not found in any federal census in 18 0 0 or 1810 - Ohio’s are not extant). Early in 1798, at age thirty-five, he went to the Mahoning River valle y of the Connecticut Western Reserve (in the area which later became O hio). There he spent the summer in assisting John Partridge Bissel sur veying the new Connecticut Reserv e lands purchased by the absentee lan d company's owner, Daniel Coit of Connecticut. In the fall of 1798 Mr . Loveland purchased all the lands in that part of Coitsville townshi p on the south side of the Mahoning River; four hundred and twenty-fo u r acres. This sale was formalized in the land records five years late r (*b). Amos returned to Vermont in the fall of 1798, settled his affa irs there, and “...in December, 1798, with his wife and six children h e left Chelsea for his new home.. ." (*c). In two sleighs, (loaded wit h bedding, farming utensils, and furniture) drawn by four horses, thei r family of eight 'headed West' across New York and Pennsylvania towar ds their new homestead. It is possible that they may have stopped i n t o visit or stay with their (cousins), also named Amos Loveland just ea st of the Hudson river in the town of Greenbush (now Sand Lake), Renss elear co, New York. They sleighed across the frozen Susquehanna River at Whitestone, and , since the snow was now melting, Amos exchanged his sleighs for a wag on and continued on. After completing the hard, four-month journey t o the Mahoning on 4 April 1799, they o ccupied the log cabin near the r iver, which he had erected for their use the year before. One half wa s floored with 'puncheons'; split logs dressed out with an axe, the ot her half remained earthen. The Lovelands; Amos 37, Jemima 37, Elizur 13, Milly 12, Elizabeth 8, L ucina 7, Amos jr 5, and another son (?) were all shown in the Vershir e census of 1790. They became the first permanent settlers of Coitsvil le. During the first year, the fami ly depended largely on hunting an d some supplies from neighboring settlements. Amos cleared his farm an d resided there with various sons, daughters and their families unti l his death in 1851. Just after Christmas, 1851, Amos died, probably at home, age 89. He wa s buried in the family cemetery on his farm, the land he'd long ago pl anned to live on after first seeing it during his pioneering survey o f 1798.

In 1812, at age twenty-two, Elizabeth married William McFarland, ten y ears older (*1). She moved only a few miles away, still in Coitsville , to his farmstead on the Hazleton Road. They appear to have had thre e boys and three girls by 1820, poss ibly two of the children were twin s, since six single birth children in eight years would be unusual, ev en in those times. The 1830 census shows William and Elizabeth, with e leven children. It is reported that she, "...became the mother of s i x sons and six daughters..." (*2 p 165). The 1850 census lists her birthplace as Vermont, and confirms that sh e is ten years younger than her husband, William. The McFarland childr en still living at their home are; Amos, (age 38, b Ohio), Jemima, (ag e 30, b Ohio), Candace, (age 20 , b Ohio), Lovina, (age 17, b Ohio, i n school), and Annetta, (age 8, b Ohio, in school). Ten years later, i n 1860, she is a widow, living next door to her son Anderson and his f amily. Elizabeth McFarland is head of her own small household, wit h so n, Amos, age 48 ("idiotic"), and daughter Annetta J, age 18 (school te acher, and attending school). In 1870, at age 80, she still maintains her own home very nearby to so n Anderson, while living with son Amos and youngest daughter Lucinia ( Lavinia) McFarland, age 35, who is keeping house with Elizabeth. By 18 80, Elizabeth and Amos were boardi ng with her daughter Lavinia who ha d now married Hamilton Harris (about 1875). He had been widowed by th e death of Lavinia's sister Candace in August of 1874, and this arrang ement may have been a marriage of 'convenience' for all concerned. The following is quoted entirely from: Historical Collections of Mahon ing Valley, Youngstown, Ohio, May, 1876, pp 510-512. THE DEAN RAFTS "In December, 1804, an elderly gentleman came to this town (Youngstown , ed.) representing that he wished to contract for squared white-oak t imber and staves, the timber to be used for ship-building, and the sta ves to be taken to the Madeira Isl ands for wine casks. He was referre d to Isaac Powers, of this township, and Amos Loveland, of Coitsvill e Township, as men that could furnish what he wanted. He called upon t hem, and made a bargain, which they had to go to Poland to have writt e n. The contract was drawn at the house of Jonathan Fowler, and writte n either by him or Terhand Kirtland. The sizes and lengths of the timb ers were all specified. It was all large timber. The contract for the timber was made with Isaac Powers, and the stave s with Amos Loveland. Mr. Dean was evidently a man that understood hi s business, and capable of doing a sharp bargain, as he succeeded in g etting Mr. Powers into a contract en tirely in his own favor. Mr. Power s, although being a good mechanic in timber, never had the experienc e of the cost of furnishing timber of such sizes and weight, and conse quently got but little to pay the scant wages due his workmen and fo r h is own time and labor. He, however, furnished the timbers as calle d for by the contract. Mr. Loveland's part of the bargain will be unde rstood by giving it in the words of his daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth M'Far land, who is now living in Coitsvill e Township, and is eighty-five yea rs of age. She says:" 'My recollection of the Dean rafts is that they were three in number , and were got up about the year 1803 or 1804. They were composed of s quared timbers hewed out, and of large air-tight casks. My father, Amo s Loveland, furnished all the timbe r for the casks, and helped to tak e it out. He also furnished the trees standing in the woods from whic h the square timber was made. He was not under contract for building t he casks or for any other part of the labor of constructing. He, howe v er, had the contract to furnish the staves dressed. The staves were go t out dressed and finished, and then set up for the wine casks, and af terward knocked down, that is, taken apart, and the staves destined fo r each cask bunched or bundled , each bundle being secured by a small h oop at each end. John Moore, father of Wm. 0. Moore of the Sarah J. St ewart tragedy, James Walker, ____ Holmes, with the help of my father , were the coopers who split them out (the staves) in the Summer , se t them up and built the casks in the Fall and Winter. The casks were i ntended to buoy up the rafts. We furnished the boarding and lodging an d shop for these coopers. We were often hard put to furnish the tabl e with the necessary substantia ls of life. For meat we often had game ; namely, wild turkey, venison, and occasionally bear meat. 'Mr Powers took out all the timber and built the rafts. It took abou t one year to get them completed. They were successfully launched in t he Mahoning River in Coitsville Township at the south end of the prese nt Lawrence Railroad Bridge at the S pring flood in 1806. The river wa s swollen to its highest water mark, and most of the inhabitants of th e surrounding neighborhood were there to see them off. An old gentlema n, Mr. Dean, contracted for the building and launching of them. He w a s not here often, but his nephew, James Dean, bossed the job. He, Jam es, fell out of a canoe between this and Beaver Falls. He with two me n were traveling in the canoe. The others went ashore to sleep, leavin g Mr. Dean in the canoe to watc h their trunks and outfit. The next mor ning, he was found at the bottom of the river, wrapped in his blanket , dead. The rafts went to pieces on the falls of Beaver on account o f insufficient depth of water to float them over.' ‘The timbers of the rafts were lost, but most of the staves were gathe red, loaded in flat-boats, and taken to New Orleans. These rafts wer e about one hundred feet in length, and about twenty-five feet wide. T he casks for buoys or floats were ma de air-tight, and frames or yoke s were made, in which they were confined. Upon this frame or yoke th e raft timbers were placed. The casks were about four feet in diamete r and six feet in length, and made of very heavy staves, and well boun d wi th hoops. The exact number to each raft is not known, but we are l ed to believe it was twenty-four. They were framed in the timbers in p airs, to move endways on the water. On the top of the rafts were pile d the staves. ‘Jonathan Fowler, the first settler of Poland Township, was drowned a t that time at Hardscrabble in the Beaver River. He was accompanying t he party that was running the rafts. While passing the rapids at tha t place, the canoe in which he was ri ding struck a rock and upset, an d he was lost. The others that were in the canoe at that time were res cued. ‘At the time these rafts were got out, and until after they were gon e and lost, there were no suspicions but what they were intended to b e used for legitimate purposes. It, however, afterward was rumored tha t Dean was a confederate or in the em ploy of Aaron Burr, and it was su pposed and believed by many that they were intended to be used by hi m in his treasonable purposes against the Government. Nothing, however , positive was ever known to the people of this country as to their in te nded destination. Yours, etc., Youngstown, O., December 24, 1875.’ By the time Elizabeth died in June of 1881, she had been "...a residen t of the Western Reserve longer than any other person, having reside d continuously in the Mahoning valley over eighty-two years..." (* 2 p 165). She was buried near her husban d in the Pioneer Methodist Cem etery in Coitsville Center, Ohio. Monument reads; Elizabeth Loveland McFarlin, born Aug 7 1790 died Jun e 16 1881.

| 108 | Excerpt from Dallas Morning News: "Funeral services will be held at 2 pm Friday at the McFarland farm at Ladonia, Fannin County, for John Allen McFarland Jr. 32, Dallas attorney. He was found shot to death at this home at Lewisville, Denton County, Wednesday, the Associated Press reported. The father of McFarland found his son's body about 5 p.m. A note found near the body related that the younger McFarland was "tired of living." the AP said. McFarland was born inDallas and reared in Ladonia. He received a law degree from Southern Methodist University in 1950 and lettered there in both football and basketball. He also attended the University of texas. McFarland was a fromer assistant district attorney in Dallas...." Notes on John Allen from relations: Johnny was beloved by everyone. A star athelete, scholar, and sadly, also schizophrenic. His struggle with this disease led to his suicide, something the family would never discuss during that generation. Note from his cousin Gordon in 2008: John Alan had paranoid schizophrenia. He spent literally years in John Sealy Hospital in Galveston. That hospital was the largest and best psychiatric hospital in the state. Johnnie as we called him, was finally able to leave and return to live with Uncle Doc. He was fine for two or three years. Uncle Doc came home one evening to find Johnnie dead from a self inflicted shotgun blast to his head. Uncle Doc told me a few years later that Johnnie had left a long letter telling his dad how much he loved him. He said that the "Demons" were coming back and that he just could not bear going back to the hospital. It was about that time that a new drug, thorazine, would eventually empty the psychiatric hospitals of schizophrenics, Today, there is still no better drug. What a loss... | McFarland, John Allen Jr. (I27965)

McDowell (her son) 1910 p. 83 JANE COCHRAN McFARLAND, daughter of Captain John and Eliza McFarland, was born at Mount Delight, July 23, 1813, and died March 20, 1893. She married William H. McDowell (born Feb. 13, 1813; died March 23, 1900), a young farmer of Peters Township, at foot of Mount Parnell, where they lived until the spring of 1856, when owing to the poor health of Mr. McDowell, they moved to Chambersburg, where they spent the balance of their lives. When Chambersburg was burned by the rebels, under General McCausland, July 30th, 1864, they were burned out of house and home and all their effects. Mrs. McDowell was a bright, handsome woman, a great reader, more than ordinarily intelligent, a good conversational- ist and the light and cheer of her home. As another has well said : "She had long professed her faith in the Son of God and had walked worthy of her calling. Intelligent with an air of quiet dignity and reserve, with much force of character, true, gracious, rallying by her motherly ways those of her household; patient, submissive under many a heavy trial, she had lived long and followed her Lord long. She follows Him still." Mr. and Mrs. McDowell had nine children, four dying in early childhood, and a daughter. Miss Elizabeth P., in 1902. Four survive them, two. John M. and Annie C, living in Chambersburg, Pa. ; Thomas H., the oldest, in Dayton, Ohio, and Henry C, in Cambria, Weston County, Wyoming. They were both members of the Falling Spring Presbyterian Church. Chambersburg, Pa., for over forty years. | McFarland, Jane Cochran (I20978)

| 116 | From "Mount Delight" p. 83-85 ROBERT PARKER McFARLAND, son of Capt. John and Eliza (Parker) McFarland, was born October 29, 1814, and died May 26, 1899. He received his education in the public schools and Washington College. Pa. Shortly after he 84 entered college, he took typhoid fever and had to return home. Had he received a collegiate education, he would have equaled if not excelled his distinguished brother, Thomas B. McFarland, at the bar, or in letters. After leaving college, he learned the carpenter trade, but did not follow it any time. He soon gave up working in wood and gave his attention to farming, which he followed until disabled by feeble health and old age. He spent the greater part of his life at Mount De- light, the farm of his father and of his father's father. He married Miss Ellen J. Robinson, a sister of Hon. David F. Robinson, a prominent member of the Franklin County Bar, and a member of the 34th Congress from the district of which this county was a part. Mr. McFarland, like his two pre- ceding ancestors, was a faithful and consistent member of the Presbyterian Church of Mercersburg, and that for over fifty years, and for many years a trustee thereof. He was a worthy and devout Christian and endeavored to bring up his children in the "nurture and admonition of the Lord." Well .does the writer remember, when a boy and a man grown up, when visiting Mount Delight, we would all, on Sabbath evenings, be called around the table and required to read verse about of a psalm or a chapter apiece from the Bible. This was a custom that it would be well were it more generally followed in this our day. He would often ask us the Shorter Catechism with- out a book. Mr. McFarland in early life was a Whig but since 1856, an ardent Republican, a great admirer of Horace Greeley, and a close reader of The New York Tribune, but independent and opposed to bossism, trickery and corruption in politics, as well as in business. He was frequently elected a school di- rector and filled the office conscientiously and with ability. He was urged, at different times, to run for the Legislature, but would never consent thereto. He was more than an ordinary farmer. He was a great reader and had his mind well stored with information on most subjects. He was a good conver- sationalist and ever ready to take part in discussions in re- ligion, literature, politics or any matter pertaining to reform 85 of the betterment of his fellowman, his county, State or Nation. He was a frequent contributor to the county papers, and a writer of force, who had the courage of his convictions. He was highly respected and greatly esteemed by all who knew him. If measured simply by the fortune he left behind him, he would not be a success in life. But he left that behind him, which is a far more important legacy to his children and posterity - a good name, a good example, a fine character, a life well spent. He was a rugged, honest, noble man. "The elements So mixed in him, that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, 'This was a man'." His remains and those of his wife, who preceded him, lie in Mercersburg cemetery.

| 119 | From Maggie Cox: She was very beautiful. And think of it- no makeup or hair spray. Do you know that she married another man before John? The first husband wouldn't agree to take my father and his siblings after their mother died, so Verne divorced him, moved back to Ladonia and married John McFarland. John (Grandaddy Mc) told me that he had loved Verne since they were little kids. From the newspaper: Mrs. J A McFarland Dies at Ladonia Mrs. J A McFarland, a former resident of Greenville, died suddenly at 8:30 o'clock Thursday night at her home in Ladonia. Mrs. McFarland was a resident of Greenville some six years. She left Greenville and about 1941 and moved to Dallas, then she and Mr. McFarland located in Ladonia. She was the former Verne Cox and was a native of Ladonia. No other details concerning her life were available due to the lateness of the hour when Greenville friends were notified. Survivors include her husband; one son, John a McFarland, Junior, who was a football star at Greenville high school in 1940; and two nephews and a niece and she reared, Dr. E.R. Cox and A.B. Cox of Dallas and Mrs. Elmo Westin of Marathon Texas Funeral arrangements are pending. | Cox, Laura Willie Verne (I27147)

| 129 | HENRY MCFARLIN (ca1822 - 1870) Indiana Justice of the peace (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - June 2019) Henry McFarlin, son of Andrew and Jane (Dug? Day?) McFarland/McFarli n moved from Coitsville, Ohio to Indiana with his parents and sibling s about 1845. In 1860 Henry was a justice of the peace in Plymouth, Indiana living w ith his widow mother Jane (Dug? Day?) McFarlin, and sister Mary A Mc F a 28 (she married in 1860), and sister Elvira McF a 25 (she marrie d in 1867). Henry was cutting trees for logs on Jan 27th of 1870 with other men an d was killed by a tree falling against another which hit his head. Hi s mother Jane (Dug? Day?) McFarlin presented a claim on his estate fo r payment of an 1860 debt of $85 plu s 2% interest. She had loaned hi m the money (gold) to pay off a mortgage on land he owned. This woma n was most likely his mother and not his sister Jane (McFarlin) Metcal f who had married in 1847. Henry's sister Elvira McDuffie was asminist rat rix of his estate. Henry McFarlin was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery in Plymouth, Indiana. H e apparently did not marry or have children.

| 134 | I am adding this Larkin as a son of William, however, I don't know this to be the case. He named his eldest son William, so that is where I have him for now. In Orange Co. TN census in 1820 on p. 310 is Larkin Mcfarland born 1775-1794, with 3 males under 10, one male 18 to 16, and Larkin 26 to 45. One female 10 to 16, one 24 to 45. This is the same page as Joshua Horton (26 to 45), The other McFarland s are all on p. 400 and 398. This Larkin did not move to Tennessee with the rest of his family. In 1850 census this Larkin is in Graves Co. KY. In 1860 he is living with William McFarland in Ohio township, Mississippi Co., Missouri. | McFarland, Larkin the younger (I15378)
|
| 135 | I am not sure about this. He seems to be mixed up with George Washington McFarland, also born in 1809, son of James Ray McFarland, therefore his cousin. | McFarland, George W. (I8581)
|
| 136 | I don't believe that the John Hall married to Margaret Crawford is the son of the Thomas Hall who died in 1804 in Iredell NC. All of John's children who lived to 1880 state their father was born in VA. | Hall, John Hugh (I27192)
|
| 137 | I don't know why William P. McFarland said his mother was Annie Allen and he was born in Mercer Co. MO, unless there are two Perry McFarlands and they have gotten mixed together. I am separating this William P. born in 1859 from the William born in 1861 in Morgan Co. MO. son of Perry and Sarah Green, married in 1860 in Morgan Co. In the 1870 census in Morgan Co. MO, there is Perry McFarland, 25 and Sarah 20, and William 9 and Andrew J 7. William would have been born in 1861 is seems, not 1859. | McFarland, William P. (I24877)

| 141 | In 1800 a William Cane is living in Morgan, Buncombe Co., the same area as the McFarlands. In 1810 in Haywood, a Robert Cain and a William Cain are present, both with wives between 16 and 25. In 1820, they are gone. Need to look for them in Missouri. In 1800 a William Cane is living in Morgan, Buncombe Co., the same area as the McFarlands.

Does not show in the 1810 census, but in 1820 he is in Orange Co. p. 398. In 1830 Thorton McFarland is on p. 42 of the Granville Co. NC South Regiment Census. He was born bet. 1790 and 1800 and is near Richard Umstead Henry Wheeler, and William Jones. there are 4 males, the oldest 30 to 40, then 1 under 5, 1 is 5 to 10 , 1 is 10-15. Females: 1 under 5, 1 is 5 to 10, wife is 20 to 30. He is on the same page as Larkin McFarland. On page 43 is William McFarland, born 1790 to 1800. Page 45 is Nancy McFarland, born 1780 to 1790. The widow of James McFarland. Do not know Thorton's father. At first I speculated it to be William, because his first named son is William. However, it could be Larkin Sr. by a first wife before Patsy Madison. He is in Carroll Co. TN in 1840. In 1850 he is in Gibson Co. next to William, (born 1818 in NC) who would appear to be his son. In 1860 he is in Gibson Co. , HopeHill on same page as Willliam. In 1870 he is in Gibson Co., next to William | McFarland, Thornton (I15423)

One descendant posted that the family was involved in the freight business, hauling goods to East Texas; however he is listed as a farmer in the census records. However, this other business is something they could have engaged in as well. The McFarlands of Fannin County, relatives of this family, were also involved in that enterprise. | McFarland, Sarah Elizabeth (I26576)
