| 3201 | In the 1920 census, George W. McFarland is 34, born in Illinois from parents born in Missouri, and married to Z. Gertrude, 30, born in Illinois, father KY and mother Illinois. there are two children, Donald george, 10 and John B 6. George is working as a fireman of the steam railroad, and they are living on Ohio Street. In the 1930 census, George W. McFarland is working as a Locomotive Engineer and the family is living on Ohio St. in East St. Louis, St. Clair Co., Illinois, Dist. 53, Image 39. Notes from his grandson, Jonathan Drew McFarland: My father marked that it was his parents. My grandfather Geo. William McF. worked most of his career for the Missouri & Ohio Railroad (later the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio). Originally an Alabama based railroad, he worked from what would have been it's northern terminus during a lot of its history at St. Louis or rather E. St. Louis, Illinois, where his grandfather, John H. moved with the whole immediate clan from the Liberty area late in life. He was promoted from fireman to Engineer in 1920...a position he kept till the late 1950s when he retired. 1906-20 he was a fireman...the guy that shovels the coal and keeps the fire going...that shovel may mean it's before he was promoted, or when he was? His pinnacle was for many years running the The Rebel, from St. Louis to the Gulf...that was the M&O's flagship passenger train. This engine doesn't seem to me to be the sort running a high speed passenger line...and oddly, that cab either should be marked M&O or the number (decommissioned? can't even tell if there is smoke coming out in that pic) I'm sure it would have been the sort he'd have run earlier in his career. I have his detailed job history. Interestingly, his first job, I think age 12, was a messenger for the Wiggins Street Ferry Company. It's not hard to imagine that his uncle Milton P., the Riverboat pilot, may've put a good word in for him or suggested it as a good place to start. He ran The Rebel when it converted over to diesel, and on it's very last run when he was 72 years old. He was also president of his union local for decades. | McFarland, George William (I28770)

It lists her parents as being, father from Northern Ireland, and mother from the Irish Free State. In her family in 1930 is Goldie Pinkerton, 42, daughter, and Eleanor Smith, granddaughter, 15. | McKensie, Elizabeth (I30869)

| 3204 | In the 1930 census, the family is living on 36th Street, East St. Louis, Dist. 58, Image 24, fam. #286. Harold is 23 (which means he should have been born in 1907) and was 18 when married. He was born in Illinois, but does not know where his parents were born. He is married to Lucille, who is 21 and 17 when married. He is working as a clerk for the Railroad company. Their children are William 2 and Betty Mae, one month old. | McFarland, Harold Fred (I29719)

| 3217 | 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.

| 3224 | 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.

|
| 3241 | 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)

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.

| 3248 | 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.
