| 3211 | Information about James William McGill came to me first from Katrina McGill (*1). In her 1973 letter she refers to her husband Ward's grandfather; James W. McGill, as one of the children of James F McGill and Isabel McFarland, daughter of widow Ma rgery McFarland. Katrina further states that the marraige of James W. McGill to Emily Rumsey in 1850 by Jacob McGranahan, took place in Espyville, Pennsylvania, and was witnessed by J. F. McGill, Isabel McGill and Harvey Rumsey (Emily's brother). If this informati on is correct, and I have no primary evidence or vital records, then this would make a strong case for Isabel McFarland, born in Ireland, to have married a James F McGill. Some good evidence is often found in the census records when the informent gives information regarding the birthplace of their parents. This was done first in 1870, somewhat, with the question regarding whether the parents were foreign-born. Howev er, the best information usually came first from the 1880 and 1900 censuses, when both parents' birthplaces were requested. This is probably about eighty per-cent reliable, since there could be errors from the informant-misleading or transcriber-i ntroducing the error. The 1870 census for James McGill hasn't been located yet, and the 1880 census is very hard to read in the critical 'parents nativity' area. From what can be seen, it appears that James reports that his mother was born in Ohio, but it's very hard t o discern. The 1900 census finds James in Claridon, Ohio, where he reports, again, that his mother was born in Ohio. If there are any other children of James F McGill, it might be useful to 'follow' them to see what they report for their mother Isabel's birth place.

| 3218 | Interesting connections: Guardian to minor children of James Wilkins is Johnston Elliot, the husband of Jean McFarland Wilkins first cousin Rebecca Mayes Elliot. [Mcfarlan.ged.GED] QUESTIONABLE LINK: Robert had a daughter Jean McFarland born about 1740. Not sure if she was married to James Wilkins, but seems very likely. James Wilkins had a wife Jean. He lived adjacent to Robert Sr. and James McFarland. He had a brother in law Robert McFarland. Thus, either James Wilkins wife was a McFarland (Jean McFarland), or (2) Wilkins sister married James McFarland (however, James McFarland married Mary Campbell), or (3) less likely, Wilkins wife's sister married James McFarland. In this case, Wilkins would be married to _____ Campbell. But, since James went to (West) Virginia to marry Mary Campbell, this seems even less likely. Thus, by suggestive evidence, James Wilkins married Jean McFarland. CONFLICT: There is slight evidence to suggest that James Wilkins married Jean Rankin. The Ancestral File at FHC lists a James Wilkins (born 1734 in Donegal, Lancaster County, PA, died Oct 1809 Centre, Indiana County, PA), married 1763 in Franklin Co, PA to Jean Rankin (died 1809). Their listed children are not the same as James Wilkins in his will. I originally "wrote" this off as completely unrelated, however the married 1763 in Franklin County to Jean Rankin, is somewhat related, as the 1800 census of James McFarland in Montgomery Township, lists him as a neighbor of Jeremiah Rankin and Ana Rankin.

|
| 3235 | Is the John N. DeGuire of the 1870 Cooke Co. census really Jasper N. (Newton) DeGuire? I assume it is. If that is the case, then these are the records found so far: Army enlistment in 1899 in Nashville, TN, lists his age as 33 yrs. 4 months, from Rockwall Texas, working as a nurse, enlistment over in 1901. In 1930 in California, Siskiyou Co., Jasper N. DeGuire, 64, a widow, was 37 at age of first marriage (abt. 1903), working as a laborer at the county hospital. The California Death Index says he was born July 30, 1869 (error?), mother's maiden name is Chisholm, and died Nov. 21, 1941 in Los Angeles. I received this e-mail below in May 2011: Mary Helen, I found your website, and I thought you might be able to help me. in the summary below, Newt is the son of Jasper Newton Deguire, Sr. whose parents were Francois Paul DeGuire and Elizabeth McFarland (1814 NC-29 Aug 1853, Fannin Co., TX). My 89-year-old mother asked me to write down the story that has been passed down through the years about her father's sister, Emma Todd (b. 5 May 1871 in Tennessee, d. 7 Mar 1946, Los Angeles, CA). As the story goes, two men asked Emma to marry her. John D. Pinkerton was one, and the other was Newt DeGuire (Jasper Newton DeGuire, Jr.). She chose Newt. (I believe the Todd family came to Texas in 1882, so I think this took place somewhere in Texas. The Todds were in Hill County, and Newt's families were from Kaufman-Rockwall, Texas). The way the story came down is that, before they married, Newt had to go on a cattle drive with his father, Jasper Newton DeGuire, Sr. The story came back to Emma that Newt had been killed on the cattle drive, so she ended up marrying J.D. Pinkerton. Pinkerton died in Clovis and is on the Obit Index on 17 July 1914. (I found that on the USGenWeb Curry Co Obit Index) After his death, Emma married Herbert Pierce (I think in CA; he was born in CA, and they were living in Los Angeles in 1920. Pierce died sometime between 1920 & 1930. Emma was walking along a street in Los Angeles one day, and she met and recognized one of Newt DeGuire's sisters. They visited, and Emma learned that Newt was still alive and living in CA. It had been his father who died on the cattle drive. When Newt had returned home and learned that Emma had married Pinkerton, he was broken-hearted and went off and joined the French Foreign Legion and traveled all over the world. He wrote down the stories of his travels and tried to get them published, but in the day before copy machines, when he sent them to the publisher, they were "lost in the mail". Anyway, he and Emma got together and married sometime between the 1930 Census and the year he died, 1941. Here's where the confusion starts: The Todd Bible shows that Emma married Pinkerton in 1902, but I have found records that Newt's father "dropped dead" in 1892 (nothing about a cattle drive; guess it could possibly have been a brother who died on the cattle drive or something). In the process, of trying to establish facts, I've created more mysteries! Have you ever heard any family stories that might shed light on this? Also, if you have any pictures of Newt, could you please email them to me? Thanks for any light you might be able to shed! Connie Webb Denver City, Texas | DeGuire, Jasper Newton (I9497)

Also in this same district is James Jack with 200 acres, and Samuel Vance with 199 1/2 acres on Rich'd Creek. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rev. T. S. Love, was born in Gibson County, Tenn., 1831. He was the son of Rev. Wm. Calhoun Love, who was a cousin of the statesman, John C. Calhoun, and who was a minister in the Cumberland Presbyterian church for about forty years. His mother was a Shelby, a member of the celebrated Shelby family of Kentucky. Brother Love's boyhood was spent in Kentucky, where he labored on a farm, sought such school advantages as the country afforded, and by private study fitted himself for teaching school. He spent several years teaching school in Arkansas and Missouri, and was school commissioner of Washington county, Missouri, for three years. At the age of 26, he became a candidate for the ministry in St. Louis Presbytery. He was immediately licensed, and 18 months later was ordained in the city of St. Louis. Rev. Milton Bird, for many years a personal friend of Brother Love's father, preached the ordination sermon. At once Brother Love became one of the leading ministers in southeast Missouri and was the prime factor in the organization of West Prairie Presbytery. his itinerary extended to several counties. Preaching in churches, schoolhouses and the homes of the people, and being sociable, spiritual, and evangelistic he did a great work in that almost spiritually destitute country. He was pastor of our church at Irondale, for twenty-one years. In 1881, Brother Love moved to Louisiana, Mo., and was the pastor of several churches in Salt River Presbytery until 1888, when he became pastor of the Slater congregation. Two years later he located in Marshall, and preached for congregations in New Lebanon and McGee Presbyteries till he moved to St. Louis in 1899. Though in poor health he continued to preach whenever opportunity offered till he was too feeble to leave home. He died in St. Louis, August 13, 1902, and was buried in Belfontaine Cemetery. This record of Brother Love's faithfulness during the 45 years of his ministry is emphasized by the fact that he preached about 4,000 sermons. Brother Love was one of the loyal and liberal sons of his church. He was at one time a member of the Board of Missions, and as such helped to locate, and project the work of the Lucas Avenue church in St. Louis, and was everywhere and always a staunch supporter of that board. He was a member of the first commission to plan for a locate a college in Missouri, after the suspension of McGee College. Having secured his education through difficulties, he appreciated the necessity for a well equipped college with such facilities as would make it easy for young men of moderate means to obtain an education, and where probationers for the ministry would have special advantages. He delighted in the success of M.V.C., was a warm personal friend of the students, and donated his library to that institution. Brother Love was a frequent contributor to the periodicals of the church, and was the author of two books "The Difference" and "A Plan and Plea for Organic Christian Union." The first of these sets forth the doctrines of our church in distinction from those held by other denominations; the other expresses the liberal spirit of the author in seeking a ground for church unity. He was a most fraternal man, and greatly interested in the proposition to bring all the Presbyterian churches into one great denomination. For the means at his command, for his salary was always small, few men gave as much to the enterprises of the church. This was because he was a systematic giver--a firm believer in and advocate of tithing; he practiced what he preached, and his heavenly Father whom he thus honored enabled him to live comfortably and to educate his children, and prepare them for usefulness and success in life. Brother Love was a consistent prohibitionist, teaching that doctrine and voting that ticket. At the time of his death he was chaplain of Occidental Lodge, A F. and A.M. Several years before his death the degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him by Montezuma University, in Alabama, of which his longtime personal friend, Rev. J. A. B. Lovett, was president. In 1857, Brother Love was married to Miss Nannie McFarland, of St. Francois County, Mo., and in her he found a most excellent wife. Her noble qualities as mother and homekeeper made it possible for Brother Love to be absent a great deal without any interest of their family suffering. Her fine prudence and great kindness of heart made her most helpful in promoting her husband's work. The reward of her self-sacrifice comes to her now in delightful memories, the excellent character of her children, and in their beautiful devotion to their mother. Two sons and three daughters not only honor their mother, but hold in high reverence the memory and labors of their father. Sister Love makes her home with a daughter, Mrs. Casey, in Springfield, Mo. What Brother Love achieved should be a stimulus for every one to trust God and go forward. From a youth in feeble health and with very limited opportunities, he rose to a position of influence and usefulness in his church worthy of the aspirations of any man. The writer knew him intimately for years and was with him a great deal in his last months of sickness; he always admired him as a pure minded, capable and godly man. TAYLOR BERNARD, St. Louis, Mo. Note.--Some explanation is due for this delay which was due to misplacing the matter from which the items of the sketch were gathered. The Committee on Union recalled the fact of his father's interest in Union to Brother Love's son; he has made diligent search and sent me the matter. T.B.

Dr. Thomas Shelby Love, at one time a resident of this county, and who has a number of relatives and many acquaintances here, died at his home in St. Louis on the 13th inst. in the 71st year of his age. He was born March 22, 1832, in Gibson county, Tenn., and was reared in Kentucky. In his early life he taught school in Arkansas and Southeast Missouri. He was ordained a minister of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in 1859, and had up to the time of his death preached nearly 4,000 sermons and written several books. He was pastor of the Church at Irondale for 21 years. Mr. Love was married Feb. 5, 1857, to Miss Nannie McFarland of St. Francois county, who with the five children of the union, survives him. The children are Mrs. Frank D. Richmond, Hannibal, Mo., Dr. William H. Love, St. Louis, Mo., Robertus D. Love, St. Louis; Mrs. Walter S. Casey of Springfield, Mo., and Miss Maud Love, St. Louis.

| 3242 | ISABEL (MCFARLAND) MCGILL (ca 1792 to after 1850) (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, reviewed June 2019) Isabel McFarland, like many other early Ohio women, is difficult to trace, since heads of families were either widows or men and the early US censuses were really only for those heads of households, with no other names or actual ages given. We start with the 1882 citation from Williams as he writes in his shor t biography of the widow Margery McFarland and children, in Coitsville , Ohio, that Margery "...came to this township from Ireland about the year 1804...Isabel, the oldest, mar ried James McGill... " (*1 p 168) . Perhaps she was the oldest daughter, but appears to not be the oldest sibling, since other census and death records place some of her McFarland brothers clearly as older. Isabel likely remained in her brother Alexander's household along wit h her mother Margery and the rest of the family until she married abou t 1818. Her husband, James F McGill was from Poland, Ohio, the next to wn to the south. He and his father' s family ran the early grist mill t here in the village of McGillsville on the Mahoning river. This may ha ve been where Isabel and James met in the early 1800's. Based on the surmise that she and James lived with his father John McG ill's family in Poland, and that they are enumerated there in the 182 0 census, then the one young girl shown there most likely is theirs. T his one child is "under ten", and p robably age one or two; hence thei r marraige date of about 1818. But there could be other circumstances , and more evidence is needed. Ohio county marraiges did not list a ma rraige for Isabel McFarland and James McGill. It's even less clear where they are later. They may still be with hi s father in Poland in 1830, or she and children may be the Isabella Mc Gill located to the southeast, over the line into North Beaver, Pennsy lvania, also on the Mahoning river . This (widow?) Isabella McGill no w has four children; three, ages 10-15, and one, age five to ten. Thi s Isabella is not a strong possibility because twenty years later, ano ther(?) Isabella McGill and a J F McGill were witnesses at the marrai g e of (their son) James W McGill to Emily Rumsey in Espyville, Pennsylv ania (*2). Isabel (McFarland) McGill needs to be further researched.

| 3248 | It has been found that about 1802 Margery McFarland arrived in Hopewell (New Bedford) village in (then) Mercer co, PA as a widow with her children. They apparently stayed there with her brother John Anderson for about a year before going westwar d a few miles to Coitsville, Ohio in 1803-1804. It appears that the family spent about eight years total in America before John's widow and children finally arrived in Ohio 1803-1804 (8 Williams p 168). Then they all settled, stayed and prospered in the Coitsville area. Each of the six childre n farmed, worked and raised families there. [http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=johnmcfarland&id=I397] MARGERY (ANDERSON) MCFARLAND (1756 - 1835) SCOTS IMMIGRANT (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin, a 3rd gr gr grandson - May, 2012, updated Dec, 2019) FROM IRELAND TO AMERICA The children in the American pioneer family of John and Margery (Ander son) McFarland were all born in Ireland about 1770's through 1790's, a s shown by references in various history sources (*1, *2, *3 below). M argery and husband John's births w ere placed in Ireland due to furthe r reporting in various later US censuses by their grandchildren. Margery was born in 1756 (*3, *4), likely in or near the Northern Ireland c ounty of Tyrone where she apparently lived after marriage. During t h e 1700's and 1800's many Anderson and McFarland families lived in coun ty Tyrone, just to the south of Londonderry, in the Ardstraw/Straban e area. Most of these Scottish families had originally emigrated from Scotlan d to Ireland, across the Irish Sea. The surname Anderson is the eight h most popular surname in Scotland and means "son of Andrew." Andrew ( man, or manly) was the first of Jesu s' disciples, and was a revered na me in medieval times due to its church connections. St. Andrew is th e patron saint of both Scotland and Russia. Margery McFarland, at age forty, emigrated in 1796 from county Tyrone , Northern Ireland, probably arriving at the port of Philadelphia, Pen nsylvania. She accompanied her husband John and they brought at leas t six of their children with them int o America; four boys and two girl s. The children ranged in age from baby James, who was one to about ei ghteen for son Alexander. (See the John McFarland (b1750?) biography e lsewhere.) After arriving, and sometime during their first four years in Americ a (1796-1800), her husband John was killed somewhere on the east sid e of the Allegheny mountains, perhaps in an accident, since there wa s no war at the time. "...John immigrate d to America in 1797(sic) wit h his wife Margery, and six children. He was killed east of the Mounta ins..." (*1 Brown, p 1024). (Later, their son's affidavits in the180 9 Depositions on Contested Election of Richard Hayes both cite that th ey arr ived in America in 1796.) LAND IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA - ca 1790's The newly pioneered and lightly populated land in Western Pennsylvani a around 1790 was just emerging from uninterrupted forest. There wer e clearings and small areas of plains and marshlands, but most of th e land was forested. When early settler s moved into Allegheny county ( the area which would become Mercer County around the mid-1790's), th e Indians there were primarily the Corn planter Indian tribe of the Se neca Nation. They had a few semi-permanent hunting and seasonal farmin g ca mps. In 1793, "Mad" Anthony Wayne led his men through what would b ecome Mercer County, and against the Indians in Ohio. At the 1794 Batt le of Fallen Timbers, near Toledo, General Wayne defeated the natives , and any organized Indian threat was n ow over in Ohio and the Wester n Pennsylvania region. Dr Nathaniel Bedford of Ft Pitt (Pittsburgh), Pennsylvania, who was th e only Bedford name listed in Allegheny county in the 1790 census, bec ame a popular and wealthy man, and was a respected doctor. He also bec ame owner of much land in the newl y formed Mercer/Lawrence counties t o the north of Pittsburgh and acted as an independent speculator for h is lands. This Dr. Nathaniel Bedford held lands in Mahoning and Shenan go Townships, PA. The village of Hopewell, Pennsylvania which later b e came the town of New Bedford, in Lawrence County, was named after him. Western part of Pennsylvania in 1792 as mapped by Reading Howell. Thi s shows the various counties, towns and villages of the time near th e confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers as they flowed to gether at Pittsburgh to form the Ohi o River. The yellow highlight show s the 80-mile track of the old Indian pathways northward from Pittsbur gh up to the headwaters of the Big Beaver River where Anderson/McFarla nd pioneer settlers went in the 1790’s. 1792 Howell Map “Likely an animal path worn down by the constant movement of game, th e Kuskusky Path connected what is now New Castle and Pittsburgh in wes tern Pennsylvania, a distance of less than eighty miles. Part of an in tegral network of trails that opene d the colonial backcountry to huma n settlement, the path provided entry into the primeval forestlands o f the colonial frontier, and helped link the Allegheny River with th e Ohio Country to its west. Native peoples and later European-America n s traveled its meandering course across creeks and low hills to an ol d Indian village named Kuskusky that would be renamed New Castle.” Sometime about 1794, William Anderson (b ca1768) arrived from Irelan d and came to the town of Pittsburgh, bought land up past Kuskusky i n Allegheny co near the Mahoning Branch of Beaver Creek. He likely fol lowed the Kuskusky path from Pittsburg h as shown in the 1792 Howell Ma p above. TENTATIVE FAMILY CHART FOR MARGERY (ANDERSON) MCFARLAND William Alexander Anderson arrived in the area about 1794 and purchase d ½ of 400 acres in Mercer County from William Hunt on March 18th. About 1796, Margery (Anderson) McFarland's other brother, John Anderso n arrived in Pittsburgh and worked as land agent for Dr. Bedford. He s ettled nearby to William on land he had purchased to the north of Hope well village. Both families; Willi am and Betsey (Adams) Anderson and J ohn and Jane (McFarland) Anderson were Scots/Irish who had immigrate d from Ireland. The history of Mercer County (1888) writes about William A Anderson; " About 1796, John Anderson, a brother, followed and located a short dis tance from his brother William. He was known as 'Agent John Anderson, ' acting in that capacity for Dr Na thaniel Bedford, of Pittsburgh, wh o owned large tracts of land in this (Mercer) and Lawrence Counties. H e married Jane McFarland..." (*1 p 847). Their marriage was recorded i n Muskingum county, Ohio. John and William Anderson were listed in the early 1800's Taxables fo r Mercer county, PA, (among a few other Andersons). John "of North Bea ver" was listed in 1800 and in 1801 he was "of Neshannock". His brothe r William is listed the same way; N orth Beaver in 1800 and Neshannoc k in 1801. They were living in their respective homes near to each oth er in Northwest Pulaski county. The name of the taxing authority (coun ty) changed, while they themselves did not move - see note *5 below. ARRIVAL IN HOPEWELL (NEW BEDFORD) VILLAGE, PENNSYLVANIA Meanwhile, the widow Margery and her children, continued the difficul t trek over the Allegheny Mountains, through Pittsburgh and north int o newly created Mercer county Pennsylvania. This was mostly done by wa gon and horseback or by boat, perhap s bringing some few utensils and f urnishings. They likely followed 'The Pennsylvania Road' which was th e main migration route after the Revolution from the east into wester n Pennsylvania and the Ohio Valley. Today it approximates Route 30 i n P ennsylvania and follows old military roads; the Lancaster Road an d then the Forbes Road. And then up the Kuskusky Path to Hopewell vill age (New Bedford). MARGERY (ANDERSON) MCFARLAND’S LIKELY ROUTE THRU PENNSYLVANIA During this time of travel, say about 1799 -1800, her children's age s were; Alexander in his early twenties, William was twenty, Andrew i n his teens, Isabel about eleven, Mary nine, and James had reached five. John McFarland's "... widow with her children visited her brother at New Bedford, Penn., for about one year and then moved to Trumbull Count y, Ohio..." (*1 p 1024). This clearly means that Margery had an Anders on relative who had preceded her in to western Pennsylvania. It is quit e likely that this brother was the John Anderson who was living in th e small village of Hopewell (later New Bedford, PA) by 1800, near hi s brother William. These two Anderson brothers were of the right age ( b orn 1760's) to be contemporaries of widow Margery and were found in M ercer County in 1800 and 1810. 1800 CENSUS FOR MERCER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA By 1800 Margery (Anderson) McFarland and children were apparently livi ng with her. The 1800 Federal census, taken August 4th, (census pg. 4 33 for Mercer co, PA) shows a John Anderson next to (his brother) Will iam Anderson. This census of Joh n Anderson's household has all the rig ht ages marked for Margery and her six children as well as John Anders on and his new wife, nine persons in all. All John Anderson’s childre n were born after 1800. This would indicate that Margery's husban d Joh n McFarland was not there and likely had died, as reported in Brown' s history above. The 1800 census of Mercer county, Pennsylvania enumerates males and fe males living with the Head of Family; John Anderson. In the followin g census copy I have compared the ages of Margery and her six childre n with the various number of individu als for each category as shown i n the photo-copy below. John Anderson had apparently married Margery ( Anderson) McFarland’s sister-in-law Jane McFarland before 1800. All th ese adults and children fit quite well in this 1800 census. The Anderson brother's homes appear to be a few miles north of Hopewel l (New Bedford) village from the late 1790's through 1820. John Anders on reportedly died about 1826, and his son William R Anderson, can b e located on the 1873 map of Shenang o, Mercer county, just north of th e Shenango/Pulaski township lines. This William R Anderson, son of Mar gery's brother John, died in June of 1888 on the old John Anderson hom estead, (where it appears that Margery McFarland had come to stay alm o st ninety years earlier). At the nearby brother William's farm; "William Anderson...and his son. ..were progressive men of their day. They erected on their farm one o f the first gristmills built in this county, and were also extensivel y engaged in the distilling business ."(*1 p 847). Also, John Anderso n ran one of the small taverns in the town in 1806-07-08. It is quit e possible that Margery McFarland's sons learned the trades of buildin g mills, operating distilleries and running taverns from the couple o f y ears living with their Anderson uncles. Only a few years later, i n Coitsville, Margery's son Alexander ran a sawmill, and her sons Will iam and James each had distilleries, while son Andrew kept a hotel, th e "Temperance House". HOPEWELL SETTLERS' FIRST CHURCH AND SCHOOL The early settlers who came into what is now Mercer County, Pennsylvan ia, were largely Scots/Irish, and mainly members of the Presbyterian C hurch. The widow Margery McFarland and family likely attended the smal l Presbyterian Church at Hopewel l starting upon her arrival by 1800. T his was the first church of any kind in the area and was established i n 1800, built of round logs with a fire built in the center of the ear then floor. It had a mud chimney leading to where a hole was cut i n th e shingled roof in order to let the smoke escape. Reverend William Wic k was the ordained pastor. He also served the Presbyterian church in Y oungstown, traveling the difficult miles between them every week unti l his death in 1815. The Hopewell Church was attended in the early times by many of the And erson's neighbors including; other Andersons, Blacks, Browns, McKeans , Neals, Pettits, Porters, Sherriffs, Thompsons, and Walkers. All of t hese families had many burials in t he Hopewell Cemetery. Also buried t here in the 1830's, were four McFarlins from nearby Coitsville; on on e headstone is Margery McFarlin, another has her son James and his you ng daughter Margery, also Dickinson (son of William and Elizabeth McF a rlin). The family may have begun spelling the name as MCFARLIN by th e 1830's, probably following the way it was pronounced. So, this was the church of choice for Margery and her family while i n Hopewell, it was just a few miles away while she was there with he r brother John. She apparently continued attending later when she live d in nearby Coitsville. The old Hopewe ll graveyard was laid out in 180 0 and the first burial was in 1810. At first, neighborhood homes acted as schools in Hopewell, until Jame s Walker became the first schoolmaster in the area. A school was taugh t by him, about 1802-3, in a log building erected by the Presbyteria n congregation. He lived over near th e Shenango River and all the scho ols he taught were in his neighborhood, reaching as far as Hopewell. H e was reportedly the best teacher the early schools ever had. He draft ed the constitution of the Hopewell Presbyterian Church at New Bedfor d , believed in temperance and was strongly anti-slavery. Widow Marger y McFarland's children; Andrew, Isabel, Mary and James possibly were t aught by him for a year or two, there in Hopewell. Her older sons wer e not at school, but were working t o help pay the family's way while t hey were living with the Anderson family. LIKELY TIME-LINE FOR MARGERY (ANDERSON) MCFARLAND AND FAMILY • 1756 - Margery Anderson born in (co Tyrone?), Ireland • ca 1775 - married to John McFarland (co Tyrone?), Ireland • 1776 - 1795 six or more children born to Margery in Ireland • 1796 - two- or three-month ocean trip from Northern Ireland to Ameri ca (Philadelphia?) Possibly with her younger brother John Anderson wh o also arrived in 1796 • 1796 to 1798(?) - lived with husband John McFarland and their childr en "east of the mountains" in PA • 1798 to 1800 - death of husband John ("east of the mountains") • 1799/1800 - widow Margery arrived in Hopewell (became New Bedford i n 1818), Mercer county, PA and lived with her brother John Anderson fo r "about a year" • ca 1802- widow Margery arrived in Coitsville, Ohio with her six chil dren and settled there EARLY COITSVILLE The first real road, able to take wagons more easily, was laid out i n 1802. It went from Mercer through New Bedford and westward to Youngs town. This road also went through the small village of Coitsville, jus t over the Ohio line on the way to Y oungstown. The Western Reserve o f Connecticut (now much of northern Ohio) was opened for settlement an d the land was put up for sale. It is quite possible that Margery an d her family were helped by her brother John Anderson (the land agen t fo r Mercer county, PA) in finding suitable land to settle on in adja cent Coitsville, Ohio. As to her arriving in Coitsville, Ohio; "The widow McFarlin (née Marge ry Anderson) came to this township from Ireland about the year 1804, w ith a family of four sons and two daughters, all of whom married afte r coming here..." (*2 p 168). About 1803/1804, the McFarland family purchased land in newly formed C oitsville, Ohio. The first McFarland family member taxed there, in 180 4, was Alexander McFarland, her oldest son. It is probable that Marger y, his mother, in her forties, fir st lived with Alexander, along wit h all her children. The earliest extant federal census for Coitsville , Ohio is in 1820, where Margery (age now sixty-four) appears to be li ving with her youngest son James McFarland (head of his family) and h i s wife, Melissa (Hard), and no young children. In the 1830 Coitsville census, she still seems to be with her son Jame s and his wife Melissa, now along with their four children, under ten. Margery died in April, 1835 (*3), probably there in Coitsville, at ag e 79, near to many of her own family whom she had brought with her 3 5 years before. She was buried in the Hopewell Cemetery in New Bedford , Lawrence county. This Pennsylvani a cemetery is just a few miles eas t of Coitsville, and is where, "...the remains of most of the old sett lers of Coitsville are buried..." (*2 p 172). This is because most o f these early Coitsville settlers attended the Hopewell Presbyterian c h urch and likely many of them had stopped in Hopewell for a time (lik e Margery) before settling in Coitsville. In 1838, three years after Margery died, her son James, aged forty-thr ee, was also buried in the Hopewell Cemetery. Margery's brother John Anderson (b 1766) died May of 1826, probably ne ar New Bedford, PA and was buried in the same cemetery PFM's SOURCES for Margery (Anderson) McFarland/McFarlin; 1800 census; Margery likely located in Mercer County, PA living with h er brother John Anderson. 1810 census; Mahoning, Mercer co, Pennsylvania p 896 only John and Wil liam Anderson listed in the township. 1810 census; Ohio records not extant. 1820 census; Coitsville, Ohio p 240; the older female, living with so n James McFarland (Margery's age 45+). 1830 census; Coitsville, Ohio p 249; older female living with son Jame s McFarland (Margery's age 70-80). 1838 cemetery record; Hopewell Cemetery, New Bedford, Lawrence county , Pennsylvania.

| 3249 | It is known that the husband and wife immigrants, John and Margery McFarland and at least six of their children, came to America from county Tyrone, northern Ireland, about 1796/1797 (6 1809 Deposition). Also, this immigrant's given name, John, i s found in the short biography about his grandson, John A. McFarlin, in the History of Mercer County, Pennsylvania as follows: "His grandfather, John, immigrated to America in 1797 with his wife, Margery, and six children. He was killed east of th e Mountains..." There is some good evidence mentioned in the histories and in various 1800's Ohio census references that the six children arriving with Margery and John were all born in Ireland. Also, the widow Margery was said to have come from co Tyrone, Irelan d JOHN MCFARLAND'S DESCENT FROM MACFARLANE CHIEFS - PROVEN BY y-DNA All men (and women) who can show descent from this John McFarland (born ca 1750 Ireland, died ca 1798 Pennsylvania) are also directly descended from the early Clan MacFarlane chiefs of Loch Lomond, Scotland. The y-DNA of Peter F McFarlin (PFM) , a direct descendant of John McFarland, has been fully tested by Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) and has connected him to the particular lineage back to the MacFarlane chiefs. The MACFARLANE DNA Project (part of FTDNA) states; "As several of the men of . .. R1b Atlantic Modal Lineage 8 'Cadets', can trace their respective descents from our chiefs, and all the participant's test results are very close, all the men of this lineage must descend from our chiefs." Since I (PFM) am a member of this Lineage 8 and my known direct patrilineal McFarland line goes back to John McFarland (b ca 1750 - see below), then all of this John's descendants (barring adoption or extra-marital event) must also descend from ou r MacFarlane chiefs. The DNA statistical evidence further indicates that there is about a four-generation genealogical gap separating the y-DNA line of these chiefs from that of the researched 'paper line' of PFM's 3rd great grandfather JOHN MCFAR LAND. The closing of that gap and eventual connection to a documented MacFarlane line remains one of this researcher's main points of focus.

Tyrone) FSID LCRQ-Z42 (Research):Family Tree DNA (www.familytree.com) Family Tree for Mr. Peter Folsom McFarlin JOHN MCFARLAND (ca 1750 died ca 1798) - SCOTS IMMIGRANT (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin, a 3rd gr gr grandson - May, 2012, revised Dec, 2019) BACKGROUND HISTORY OF LENNOX/MACFARLANE BRITONS OF STRATHCLYDE, SCOTLAND ca 1000 AD The Scottish barons of early Dunbartonshire in the Strathclyde Kingdom , who later became the chiefs of Clan MacFarlane, "descended as a cade t line from the 11th century stewards and earls of Lennox". (#1 T MacF arlane, #2 Neville). "These stewards were originally native Britons (likely of Celtic desce nt) who were conquered by the Irish 'Scots' in 1066 at the battle of S trathclyde. These Britons quickly accepted their conqueror's culture a nd within a century and a half (c a 1200) claimed an Irish dynastic ori gin. Later, by the 1700's, the house of Lennox claimed a 'Saxon' origi n, likely as an anti-Catholic attempt to discredit the 'traditional' I rish origin of mormaers/earls of Lennox. As it happens, the Lenno x wa s the only part of the kingdom of Strathclyde which was allowed to con tinue under it's native dynasty after the fall of the kingdom to the ' Scots' in 1066. The MacFarlane DNA project has disproved both the 'Saxon' and the 'Iri sh' origin myths and confirmed that the mormaers/earls were Britons. " (pers comm from Chevalier Terrance Gach MacFarlane, March 2017). LENNOX EARLS and MACFARLANE BARONS ca 1100 - 1400's Gilchrist, a cadet (which means a younger son of the Chief of the hous e) of the 2nd Earl of Lennox, was the founder of the House of Arrochar , Loch Lomond when, in 1225, he was granted 'an arachor' of land on Lo ch Lomond, north of Dumbarton. His great-grandson, Parlan, in turn, became the name founder of Clan M acFarlane (son of Parlan) and its first chief. From Parlan's son, Malc olm, about the year 1344 onwards, the surname MacFarlane became fixed . (#3 James MacFarlane) These MacFa rlanes were a tight-knit, tenaciou s clan whose living depended on the animals of the forests and hills , and who tended their (and other's) cattle in the glens and mountain s of Loch Lomond side. They grew in numbers and strength, building sma l l protective castles and strongholds in and around Loch Lomond ofte n fighting for Highland causes of importance to them. Then, from these ancestral lands of Arrochar/Tarbet/Luss on the wester n and northern banks of Loch Lomond, some MacFarlanes began to sprea d throughout the Highlands and to Northern Ireland. McFARLANDS in IRELAND - ca 1609 to 1796 Between 1609 and 1611 the victorious British resettled Ulster provinc e in Ireland (the "Plantation of Ulster") with loyal subjects who woul d 'undertake' to populate the confiscated Irish properties with group s of English and Scottish families . The chief undertakers were grante d thousands of acres throughout Northern Ireland. Among these men were the Stewarts who were friendly to the British kin g and represented the Duke of Lennox. About 1610, the Stewarts and Cun ninghams brought many various families into the Portlough and Liffor d precincts in Raphoe, county Donega l (#4 Hill p 293). Some of these w ere of the MacFarlane Clan from Scotland. The common spelling in Irela nd became McFarland. A more detailed study of many of the McFarlands i n the Early Plantation is written by Mary Helen Haines in the Decembe r , 2012 Loch Sloy! (#5 M H Haines) LOCATIONS IN COUNTY TYRONE TO SEARCH The MacFarlane ancestor of Peter F McFarlin crossed over from Scotlan d and into Ireland likely sometime between the 1610 Plantation and u p until about 1750 when PFM's 3rd gr grandfather JOHN MCFARLAND appare ntly was born in Ireland. John's wife Margery (Anderson) and their children are reported to hav e come from county Tyrone, so that is the place I started the genera l search for my ancestors in Ireland. Since I'm looking for both McFar lands and Andersons in county Tyrone , I began by looking further sout h and east along the river Morne where both families might be living i n the 1790's. And yes, in the parish of Ardstraw and surrounds, some McFarland and A nderson families have been noted during the 1600's and the 1700's. Fro m the scanty records that still exist after the devastating 1922 Fou r Courts Fire in Dublin (which destr oyed much of the recorded histor y and genealogy of Ulster), some McFarland/Anderson leads have shown u p. Some Records for County Tyrone, Ulster Province, Ireland The following records for McFarland/Mcfarlins are from various onlin e sources for County Tyrone: 1622 - In Tyrone, the northern parish of Donaghedy did record a John A nderson in Dunnalong. 1630 - The Muster Rolls of able-bodied men for the estates in Tyrone o wned by various Hamiltons, including Strabane Barony, showed no McFarl ands or Andersons at this date. 1631 - The Muster Rolls for the town of Strabane (in Urney?) gave th e names of fifty three men with their arms. One was a Dunkan Mcffarla n who was armed with a sword. (Those bearing arms were between the age s of sixteen and fifty) 1631 - Tyrone Muster Rolls, Donagheady & Leckpatrick parishes; John An derson - sword and pike 1661/1662 - The few existing parish Poll Books for parish of Tyrone li sted Donal McFarlan and wife of Fallasloy (=Killymore?) and John McFar lon and wife of Bunyne (Bunowen). No Anderson 1664 and 1666 - "Hearth Money Rolls" The government began a tax on hea rths as a means of raising revenue. Fairly complete coverage exists fo r the counties of Ulster, however not all persons reported. In Tyron e we find; The Hearth Rolls for parish of Donaghedy, along the River Foyle, liste d three of it's central towns with these McFarlands (no Andersons); • John McFarland - Bunowen 1664 • Robert McFarland - Aughtermoy 1664, 1666 • Walter McFarland - Creaghan Glebe 1664, 1666 The Rolls for the parish of Ardstraw, a bit further south, and along t he River Morne, listed names in fifty-five of its townlands (no Anders ons). McFarlands were found in four townlands; • Donald McFarland - Killymore 1666 • John McFarland, Patrick McFarland - Altdohal 1666 • John McFarland - Lishracracreah 1666 • John McFarland - (Ard)Straw 1666 1693 - There were various tenants of Claude Hamilton, Earl of Abercor n listed as "having holdings in the town of Strabane" including famili es of both a John Anderson and a Walter McFarland in Baronscourt. (# 4 Hill p 529) 1699 - Masters of Families in Badoney Parish - William Anderson Presby terian, Donald Mcffarland Protestant, Malcolm Mcffarland Protestant. 1699 - Masters of Families in Cappagh Parish - Samuel Anderson Protest ant, John Mcffarland Presbyterian, John Mcffarland Presbyterian. 1716 - Hometowns of Ulster Families (#6 Bolton p 361) John McFarlin , - Badoney, Tyrone 1720 - Three McFarland immigrants to Boothbay, Maine; John McFarland S r, John McFarland Jr and Andrew McFarland. They came from Ardstraw, c o Tyrone (#6 Bolton pp. 183, 186, 187). 1766 - Parish census of Householders does not cover Ardstraw and surro unding parishes. 1775 - Dissenters Petitions need to be looked into at; PRONI T808/1530 7 1795/1796 - "Spinning Wheel/Flax Seed List" The Irish government gave free spinning wheels (or looms) plus flax se ed to landholders to encourage the linen trade. This landholder list w as likely compiled during the prior year of 1795, and was published i n 1796 for those who would plant i n 1796. Since John and Margery McFar land left county Tyrone about 1796, they may be listed here. In the 1796 Ardstraw Parish Flax seed list were found the highest numb er of McFarlands with Andersons. Listed there were five families of Mc Farlands and eight families of Andersons. These did include one John M cFarland, but no Alexander, John' s possible father. There also were th ree William Andersons, and a James, all names carried by Margery's And erson relatives, who are found in 1800 Mercer county, Pennsylvania. As I was confirming Margery Anderson's possible brother's families, i t was noticed that while in Ireland her brother William Alexander Ande rson had married Elizabeth Adams about 1795, a year or two before th e Andersons pushed west into (then) A llegheny county Pennsylvania. Th is adds another family name to look for in the Ardstraw area; Adams. So, here, in and around Ardstraw Parish, is the most likely place to s tart looking for the ancestral connection to my particular John McFarl and. Start about 1797 and work back in time. EMIGRATION FROM COUNTY TYRONE, IRELAND to AMERICA It is known that the husband and wife immigrants, John and Margery McF arland and at least six of their children, came to America about 1796/ 1797 (#7 1809 Deposition) from county Tyrone, Ireland. Also, this immi grant's given name, John, is foun d in the short biography about his gr andson, John A. McFarlin, in the History of Mercer County, Pennsylvani a as follows: "His grandfather, John, immigrated to America in 1797 wi th his wife, Margery, and six children. He was killed east of the M oun tains..." (#8 Brown - Mercer County). Most of the Scots/Irish immigrants coming into Pennsylvania around 180 0, arrived at the port of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Philadelphia wa s a bustling, major city at the time and was a center for heading wes t into the pioneering and settlemen t lands of Virginia, Pennsylvania a nd the just-opened Western Reserve of Ohio. There is some good evidence mentioned in the histories and in variou s 1800's Ohio census references that the six children arriving with Ma rgery and John were all born in Ireland. Also, the widow Margery was s aid to have come from co Tyrone, Ire land (#9 Williams p 168). Therefor e, I have assigned John's probable birthplace there too. His birth dat e is inferred to be about 1750 from his wife's and children's ages, fo und later. John and Margery McFarland may also have had other children in (Ardstr aw?) co Tyrone, Ireland, possibly one born about 1782 and another abou t 1788. Following the traditional Scottish naming pattern which his p arents, John and Margery were appa rently using, the 1782 child was lik ely their third son and would have been named after his father, John . They likely also had another child in the six to eight years betwee n Andrew and Isabel (see Family Group Sheet below). Assuming all six of Margery's known immigrating children to be his , I have given John McFarland's date of death as about 1797, since h e and wife Margery appear to have had no further children after thei r youngest son James was born. James's ag e of 43 at death in 1838 make s his birth to be about the year 1795 (#10 Baldwin). James was born wh ile the family was still in Ireland, confirmed by James' various child ren's 1880 and 1900 U.S. census data. THE PIONEER MCFARLAND FAMILY - 1796/1797 TO 1804 So, upon arrival in America about 1796/1797, John McFarland's age woul d have been about forty-six. His wife Margery was forty and the six im migrating children were as follows [the two other possible children, i n brackets below, apparently did n ot come to America with them]. Perha ps the children were named following this common Scots naming pattern: • Alexander McFarland, age seventeen to twenty (first son, named afte r his father's father?) • William McFarland, age sixteen (second son, named after his mother' s father?) • [John McFarland? died or remained in Ireland (third son? named afte r his father?)] • Andrew McFarland, age twelve (fourth son? named after his father' s oldest brother?) • [son McFarland? remained in Ireland (named after the father's sec ond oldest brother?)] • Isabel McFarland, age about five (first daughter? named after the m other's mother?) • Mary McFarland, age about four (second daughter? named after the fa ther's mother?) • James McFarland, age one (sixth? son named after who?) • At the time, immigrant routes into Ohio such as the Forbes Road, wer e just opening up. There had been a recent re-settlement of native Ind ians as a result of the 1750's French and Indian Wars. Then, after th e subsequent American Revolution, th e newly opened roads and widened p aths from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh included the Lancaster Pike fro m Philadelphia to Lancaster. This connected to the Great Conestoga Roa d through Harrisburg, then on to Pittsburgh. This was the main migrati o n route from the east, and on into the Ohio Valley. The assumed 1796-1800 route of the John/Margery McFarland family likel y took them from Philadelphia into and through these Pennsylvania coun ties "...east of the Mountains..."; Delaware, Chester, Lancaster, ove r the Susquehanna River and into Cu mberland County. These are all plac es to look to see where they may have lived and where John may have di ed. WHERE IN PENNSYLVANIA DID JOHN MCFARLAND DIE? The above reference for John; "He was killed east of the Mountains" (B rown - Mercer County) places their first home and John's place of deat h very likely in eastern Pennsylvania. Was it from an accident, a figh t or murder? There is one reference found in the General Aurora Advertiser (Poulson 's Daily Advertiser) of 1797 which lists the burial of a John McFarlan d in the Philadelphia City Hospital Burial Ground. This man apparentl y died in or near Philadelphia abou t the 16th or 17th of September, 17 97. No PA will or abstract (1796-1802) for John McFarland (etc) was fo und. John may have purchased land or received a land grant. The land record s and the United States Direct Tax of 1798 for the five Pennsylvania c ounties (above) were checked for him as well as his widow Margery an d oldest son Alexander. The 1798 U.S . Direct Tax List for Vincent an d Coventry towns in Chester county did show a record for the estate o f a 'McFarlin' owning property which was subsequently occupied by a Jo hn Carrel. This may be a possible connection with the 1797 burial of J oh n McFarland in nearby Philadelphia. Searches in the 1800 Federal censuses for Pennsylvania, (plus Virginia , Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut) didn't bring any clo se matches to the McFarland family group's age/distribution, with or w ithout husband John or additiona l child. All various John McFarlin/MacFarlane spellings in the 1800 PA Septenni al Census taxables lists were found as follows; John McFarlin in Eas t Marlborough, Chester co, John McFarlan in West Caln, Chester co, Joh n McFarlane (farmer) in Beaver, Alle gheny co, John McFarlane (farmer ) Erie, Allegheny co, and John McFarlane (yoeman) Mifflin, Cumberlan d co. An Alexander McFarlin ('labor') was listed in Hempfield township , Lancaster co. However, only heads of household and their occupatio n wer e listed in the Septennial Census, so one cannot follow any of th ese for a family. As for other Pennsylvania land warrants and tax records, a number of M cFarlains/McFarlins(etc) were found in Lancaster and Cumberland counti es during the period of 1796-1802. There were similar forenames; John , William, James but no Alexander s since the oldest son Alexander woul d likely be the male head of household at age about 25 after his fathe r John's passing. All entries were researched and dismissed. No reference to a widow Margery (Anderson) McFarlin/McFarland in the 1 800 PA census was found. The family quite possibly had been with anoth er 'head of family', or in another place or not recorded at all. MARGERY AND CHILDREN ARRIVED IN HOPEWELL, PENNSYLVANIA However, another lead I have followed is through the Anderson name. Th e widow Margery (neé Anderson) apparently stayed with a brother of her s in eastern Pennsylvania between 1797 and 1802. It has been found that about 1800 Margery McFarland very likely had arrived in Hopewell (New Bedford) village in (then) Mercer co, PA as a widow with her children. They apparently stayed there with her brothe r John Anderson as shown on page 433 i n the 1800 Federal census for Me rcer co, PA, taken August 4th. The McFarland family stayed there fo r a few years before going westward a short distance into Coitsville , Ohio in 1803/1804. (See my biography story for Margery McFarland, el sewhe re.) At any rate, it appears that the family spent about seven years tota l in America before John's widow and children finally arrived in Ohi o (#9 Williams p 168). At that time, they all settled, stayed and pros pered in the Coitsville area. Each o f the six children farmed, worke d and raised families there. I was not able to find any record of where John McFarland/McFarlin ( b ca1750) lived in America. He apparently died in Pennsylvania "...eas t of the mountains" after his 1796 arrival and Margery McFarland's Aug ust, 1800 enumeration with her broth er in New Bedford, Pennsylvania PFM's SOURCES for JOHN MCFARLAND: 1 - MacFarlane, Terrance; The Barons of Arrochar and Their Cadets 2000 -2004; unpub. manuscript, edited by; Chevalier Terrance Gach MacFarlan e, with updates to 2012. 2 - Neville; Native Lordship in Medieval Scotland - The Earldoms of St rathern and Lennox, c.1140-1365; Four Courts Press, Dublin, Ireland, b y Cynthia J Neville, 2007. 3 - MacFarlane, James; History of Clan MacFarlane; D J Clark Ltd, Glas gow, Scotland, by James MacFarlane, 1922. 4 - Hill, Rev.
