| 6401 | The first child of William and Samantha (McClelland) McFarland was Virgil C McFarland, born in 1852, either in Youngstown or Coitsville, Ohio. His father William died when Virgil was less than eight and his mother took him and his younger brothe r William to her parents home in Coitsville. He is listed there as C V McFarland, in the 1860 Coitsville census. His mother remarried in 1863, to John H Reed, and the three of them moved to the neighboring Reed farm where they joined their five new stepsisters and brothers, ages seven through twenty-four. By 1870, at age eighteeen, Virgil had left home, perhaps for nearby Youngstown. At least he was not located in Coitsville, in the 1870 or 1880 enumerations, and is found again in the 1900 Youngstown census. In 1878, Virgil had married Mary, daughter of David and Jemima (Raney) Cooper, born in Ohio, and seven years older than he. They had seven children, three were still living and with them in Youngstown in 1900. At this time he owns his own home o n Rayen Ave, and works for the railroad as a conductor. His twenty-one year old son, Fred L McFarland also works for the railroad as a fireman, and lives at home along with a brother, David C, and sister, Hazel B, both attending school. By 1907, Virgil has died (*1 p 740), probably in Youngstown, leaving Mary a widow.

| 6406 | The following was added to the Ben Menees McFarland document (copy under Ben Menees McFarland) The writer of the above history, Ben Manees McFarland, son of John McFarland who came to America from Scotland, was a brother of Rev. Arthur McFarland who moved to Louisiana from Tennessee in about 1820 to 1825. I do not know the exact date. He settled near what is now the town of Athens, Louisiana. He married a Miss Brinson and raised a good large family. The names of these children were James B. McFarland who lived and died in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana. He preached the gospel, being of the Baptist faith, as were all the others, except one, so far as I am informed. John P. McFarland, was also a minister of the gospel and a Methodist. He died in Red River, La. William McFarland moved to Farmerville, La. Where he raised several children, one of whom is now a resident of Baton Rouge, La., and the State Supervisor of Public Accounts. Uncle William died several years ago. Joseph F. McFarland, my Father, spent the larger portion of his life in Claiborne Parish, near Athens, La., where he died in March, 1905. He married Miss Sallie D. Hargis, daughter of Dr. R. A. Hargis who was a practicing physician and a minister of the gospel. Grandfather Arthur McFarland and Grandfather Hargis did much toward establishing some of the pioneer churches of the Baptist faith in North Louisiana. My father and mother raised a family of eight children, four boys and four girls. There were four boys, in addition to the above mentioned, who died in infancy or early childhood. All of the eight who grew to maturity are living now except sister Hollie, who died in Shreveport in 19__. Those living are, James R. McFarland, now living in Hot Springs, Ark., Mrs. Sallie E. Hargrove, who has one son, Jos. R. Hargrove, now living in Los Angeles, Cal. Where she too, has made her home for past two or three years. Samuel H., resides in Shreveport, La., Mrs. J. H. Thurmond, whom we know as "Lillie" is living in Mount Lebanon: Mrs. E. F. Walker, the youngest girl, (Lula), is living at Waelder, Texas. Walter Menees McFarland, is living in Houston, Texas. The writer of this sketch, J. F. McFarland (Frank), is living in Mansfield, La. The othe children of my Grandfather McFarland are Ben, the father of Bro. James' wife, Jennie. He fought in the Confederate army and was wounded in one of the battles, he was a flag-bearer at the time. I think Aunt Jane, whom I saw only on one visit that she made to North La. From Missouri, where she lived, was the oldest of the girls. She married a man named Graves. Aunt Elizabeth married Aaron Hice. She was the mother of Belle who married Dr. W. W. Culpepper a much loved physician who practiced many years at Athens. Aunt Loura married James H. Sommons. She was a very lovable woman and a beautiful Christian character. Aunt Rosa, the youngest, married a man named Hardy. They moved to Texas and I never knew much of her. All of these uncles and aunts were men and women of sterling integrity. The McFarland name in the community where I grew up was a synonym of honesty and integrity of purpose that made me proud to be a member of the family. I wish to say, that last July (1924) a party of McFarlands assembled at the home of Mrs. J. H. Thurmond (Sister Lille) composed of all the living brothers and sisters except Samuel. We enjoyed the fellowship of being together more than any of us will ever be able to tell. In addition to the brothers and sisters, Mrs. I. N. Browning, the oldest daughter of sister Hollie, who I consider one of the finest women it has ever been my good fortune to know, was with us. Also my wife, Mrs. Mary Guy McFarland and my youngest daughter, Mary, completed the party. I should not forget, too, brother James' wife was present. A party composed of Sisters Sallie Hargrove, Lillie, (Mrs. Thurmond), Lula (Mrs. Walker), Mrs. Browning (Minnie), Walter, and myself, made a pilgrimage to the old New Hope Baptist Church in Old Athens, to the Cemetery where our Father, Mother and many other loved ones are sleeping, and down to the old spring where we found the old baptistery still in a fair state of preservation. All of the scenes brought to our minds and hearts memories that are dear and sweet. In the old church house (there is no church organization left to hold services there) we sang some of the old sweet songs, read some of the wonderful promises in God's book from the old pulpit bible and tried to picture in our minds the dear folks of long ago who used to sit in those pews and worship God in the simplicity of the "faith of our fathers." From the church house we wended our way through the famous old Athens sand to the old home place. We found the old house still standing and in a fair state of repair, but unoccupied. The doors and windows were nailed shut so that we did not go inside. Of course there were but few things left to remind us of what the place had been to us-HOME, but some trees in the yard and near by looked somewhat familiar. We looked with tenderness on some parts of the old house that we know was put in place by our dear Father. We went fown to the spring, but the bushis and briars have grown up so thickly around it that it was with some difficulty that we were able to get to it. We scooped out a small bowl in the bottom, and when the water had cleared up we each took a drink of sweet water, where many times in the days long gone by we slaked our thirst. As we turned our backs on the old place where we grew up around which are clustered so many sweet memories of childhood and Mother's and Father's loving care for us, I am sure that each heart was lifted in thanksgiving to our heavenly Father for the many blessings that He has given us all along down the years since we went out from the dear old home. J. Frank McFarland. | McFarland, Josephus Frank (I26270)

| 6418 | THE McFARLAND FAMILY Arriving at the age which admonishes me to put my house in order, and being acquainted with our ancestry for two centuries back, I feel it is a duty incumbent on me to give their history to posterity. Our oldest ancestor that I know of traditionally was Duncan McFarland who was born near Edinburgh, Scotland. He was the father of Walter and Tabby, and Tabby was the mother of the famous Bob (Rob Roy) McGregor. Walter had a son that he called Arthur who went to Ireland and there married Elizabeth Porter, sister of Commodore Porter of revolutionary fame. The fruit of this union was a girl, whose name I have forgotten, and three boys, Alexander, Thomas and John. The latter, who was the founder of our family, was bound for seven years to the hatter's trade. Although his boss was a tyrant, he served him several years, but when he was about seventeen his boss attempted to chastise him with a cat-o-nine-tales, whereupon the apprentice, who was cutting the fur off a coon skin with a round knife, resisted, knife in hand, and the boss had to beat a timely retreat to avoid being cut open by his incensed apprentice. This was a violation of the law and the hatter threatened a prosecution, when grandfather fitted up his son John and sent him to North America. His middle name was Porter, but he dropped it as he was charged with committing a crime, upon his arrival at America, which was before the war of Great Britian with the American colonies. He peddled about a year on dry goods with a two horse wagon. Grandfather Arthur finally became uneasy about him and sent Uncle Thomas in search of him. Uncle Thomas found him at Charleston and the war coming on soon, they both enlisted, John as Lieutenant and Thomas as Oderly Sergeant. At Gates' defeate the Captain was wounded and your grandfather took command of the company. He ordered his men to stand and fire, which was obeyed, and this delay left them between the pursuing and retreating armies, but he conducted his men safely through. At the siege of York, a bomb with the old fashioned fuse dropped near him and he instantly cut off the blaze before it reached the power, thus saving himself and others from its ravages. It contained nine pounds of powder, which was used to shoot back at the British. He and Uncle Thomas remained in the service until honorably discharged, when they went to French Lick, now Nashville, where father married Nancy Maneese of Virginia, and Uncle Thomas, Peggy Todd of Ireland. Dr. Felix Roberson was the first male child born at the French Lick, and James McFarland, my oldest brother, your uncle, was the second. When Buchanan's Fort was attacked by the indians, father and mother were in it. The number of Indians were five hundred, and there were only seventeen men, with their wives and children, in the fort. During the fight the bullets gave out, and Sallie Buchanan and Nancy McFarland moulded more shot while the fight was going on, and handed them hot to the men. The Indians set the fort on fire, but a shower of rain extingusihed the flames. Providence thus saved them from being massacred by the Indians or burned. There was a blunderbuss in the fort which was doubly loaded and shot with great precision, killing and wounding several of the enemy and breaking the collar bone of the man who shot it. At this junture the Indians exclaimed "Umph, a big gun" and ran off, to the great relief of all in the fort. When the soldiers were in want of salt your grandfather, John McFarland, drove a lot of pack horses to the Saline salt works in Kentucky and brought back as much salt as the horses could carry. The savages were prowling along his path and he did not dare kindle a fire, though he stood in much need of it as it was winter and the weather cold. After the battle of Nickajack the Indians were subdued and father moved to a farm near Haysborough and cultivated the soil, attending strictly upon the ministry of the distinguished Thomas Craighead, a presbyterian minister of much talent. In 1803 he moved to the six hundred and forty acre tract granted him by North Carolina for his services in the Revolutionary war. It lies eighteen miles east of Nashville and eleven miles west of Lebanon, in Wilson County, Tennessee. There I was born, being the youngest one of nine children. My father raised nine children, all of whom he lived to see grown and married, but two, myself and youngest sister Jane. After father's death Jane married Lewis Lindsay a talented Baptist minister and ripe scholar. My father held an honorable and lucrative office of years, and in 1824 he was confined to his room by a disease that had been preying upon him for years. He calmly and peacefully passed away on the 24th of May, aged seventy four year and four months. My mother lived twenty one years after father's death. She died in 1845, aged eighty eight years. Her goodness is fresh in the memory of all who knew her. Two of my brothers aided to maintain that independence which a patriotic father assisted to gain under the immortal Hero of New Orleans. Having finished a sketch of my father's life, I will name a few of his distinguished sons and grandsons. John B. McFarland, M. D., was a graduate of the Philadelphia Medical School. He practiced in Paris, Tenn. Where he married Miss Cook, daughter of Judge Cook of Paris. He was elected to the State Legislature in 1845, but died before he took his seat. His only son, John P. McFarland, is graduate of the Philadelphia Medical School. James P. McFarland, another son of your Uncle James, who was born in the fort is graduate of the same school and practiced successfully in California and was twice elected by the people to the State Senate. He now lives near Lebanon on the six hundred and forty acre tract granted to your grandfather by the state of Tennessee for defending helpless women and children from tomahawk and scalping knife of the ruthless savages. James H. McFarland, M. D., has retired from the profession and given it to his son, William W., a young man of intellect and fine promise. Dr. Berriman Bilbrow practiced twenty years at Milton and laid down his labors in this life at the age of fifty years. Dr. James Somers of Dresden, Tenn., is a graduate of Nashville Medical College and stands at the head of the profession , beloved and respected by all who meet him. Dr. John Curd, a noble man and respected physician, lives in Green Hill, Tenn. John Somerts, a graduate of the Lebanon Law School, is now chanceller in the district where he lives. I let those who know him decide as to his moral rectitude and his unyielding integrity and ability as a Judge. James M. Lindsay, a graduate of the Lebanon Law School emigrated to Texas is respected for his talents and high moral worth. Dr. John P. and William W. McFarland and ---Curd are great great grandsons, and all the other named are grandsons of my father, except Dr. H. H. Bethshares who married my youngest daughter. William W. Whitsett, grandson of my father, is now in Germany completing his education as a Baptist minister. He was born and raised near Nashville and is know by many. I have no son living but Ben F. a youth. I have two daughters, the youngest of whom is the wife of Dr. H. H. Bethshares, a man honored and respected as a gentleman and eminent physician.

There was a blunderbuss in the fort which was doubly loaded and shot with great precision, killing and wounding several of the enemy and breaking the collar bone of the man who shot it. At this junture the Indians exclaimed "Umph, a big gun" and ran off, to the great relief of all in the fort. When the soldiers were in want of salt your grandfather, John McFarland, drove a lot of pack horses to the Saline salt works in Kentucky and brought back as much salt as the horses could carry. The savages were prowling along his path and he did not dare kindle a fire, though he stood in much need of it as it was winter and the weather cold. After the battle of Nickajack the Indians were subdued and father moved to a farm near Haysborough and cultivated the soil, attending strictly upon the ministry of the distinguished Thomas Craighead, a presbyterian minister of much talent. In 1803 he moved to the six hundred and forty acre tract granted him by North Carolina for his services in the Revolutionary war. It lies eighteen miles east of Nashville and eleven miles west of Lebanon, in Wilson County, Tennessee. There I was born, being the youngest one of nine children. My father raised nine children, all of whom he lived to see grown and married, but two, myself and youngest sister Jane. After father's death Jane married Lewis Lindsay a talented Baptist minister and ripe scholar. My father held an honorable and lucrative office of years, and in 1824 he was confined to his room by a disease that had been preying upon him for years. He calmly and peacefully passed away on the 24th of May, aged seventy four year and four months. My mother lived twenty one years after father's death. She died in 1845, aged eighty eight years. Her goodness is fresh in the memory of all who knew her. Two of my brothers aided to maintain that independence which a patriotic father assisted to gain under the immortal Hero of New Orleans. Having finished a sketch of my father's life, I will name a few of his distinguished sons and grandsons. John B. McFarland, M. D., was a graduate of the Philadelphia Medical School. He practiced in Paris, Tenn. Where he married Miss Cook, daughter of Judge Cook of Paris. He was elected to the State Legislature in 1845, but died before he took his seat. His only son, John P. McFarland, is graduate of the Philadelphia Medical School. James P. McFarland, another son of your Uncle James, who was born in the fort is graduate of the same school and practiced successfully in California and was twice elected by the people to the State Senate. He now lives near Lebanon on the sex hundred and forty acre tract granted to your grandfather by the state of Tennessee for defending helpless women and children from tomahawk and scalping knife of the ruthless savages. James H. McFarland, M. D., has retired from the profession and given it to his son, William W., a young man of intellect and fine promise. Dr. Berriman Bilbrow practiced twenty years at Milton and laid down his labors in this life at the age of fifty years. Dr. James Somers of Dresden, Tenn., is a graduate of Nashville Medical College and stands at the head of the profession , beloved and respected by all who meet him. Dr. John Curd, a noble man and respected physician, lives in Green Hill, Tenn. John Somerts, a graduate of the Lebanon Law School, is now chanceller in the district where he lives. I let those who know him decide as to his moral rectitude and his unyielding integrity and ability as a Judge. James M. Lindsay, a graduate of the Lebanon Law School emigrated to Texas is respected for his talents and high moral worth. Dr. John P. and William W. McFarland and ---Curd are great great grandsons, and all the other named are grandsons of my father, except Dr. H. H. Bethshares who married my youngest daughter. William W. Whitsett, grandson of my father, is now in Germany completing his education as a Baptist minister. He was born and raised near Nashville and is know by many. I have no son living but Ben F. a youth. I have two daughters, the youngest of whom is the wife of Dr. H. H. Bethshares, a man honored and respected as a gentleman and eminent physician.

| 6426 | The Nehemiah Harris farmstead in 1840 and 1850 appears to have been just to the east of Coitsville center, adjacent to the Davidson, Dolby and Wick families. He was from Pennsylvania and his wife Anna was born in Ohio. Their son Hamilton was bor n there in 1833. The farm was about three miles east of the William McFarland farm which was located on the Hazleton road nearer to Youngstown. Hamilton was seventeen in 1850 and was attending school as well as helping on the family farm. By 1860 Hamilton's father had resettled in Washington, Hardin county, Ohio and Hamilton had married Candace McFarland, daughter of William and Elizabeth (Baldwin) McFarland. They had been married three years, had two daughters, and were living i n Youngstown where Hamilton had started his own small farm. In 1870 Hamilton, Candace and their three children, Myrtle, William and Minnie, still had a home farm while Hamilton was occupied as a carpenter. They lived outside of Youngstown city near a very large farm owned by Abraham Powers. The 1880 census shows us that Hamilton has now remarried to Candace's younger sister Lavina McFarland, also a daughter of William and Elizabeth McFarland. His children by Candace; Myrtle, William and Minnie, are still in the household. Both Hamilt on and his twenty year-old son William are occupied as carpenters, while living in a neighborhood of Welsh miners, Scottish engineers and a few farmers. Importantly, at this time in 1880, we find living in the Harris household, Elizabeth (Loveland) McFarland, age 89, the mother of both Candace (who died Aug, 1874), and Lavina, Harrison's present wife. Also living there is Elizabeth's first child A mos McFarland, age 67. Both Elizabeth and Amos are listed as boarders. Hamilton's second wife Lavina (McFarland) died by 1900 and he had married again to an Elizabeth (____), born in Scotland, November, 1848. This third marraige was apparently childless, and by 1910 Hamilton Harris who was now thrice a widower, was l iving with a grand-daughter (Maude) and Lois Jewell, housekeeper (she was also with him in 1900 as a 'domestic'). Next door, also on Evergreen Avenue, lived his (and Candace's) son William Harris. 1920 was the last census to show Hamilton Harris, now age 86, a widower, still living with Lou Jewell, housekeeper, on West Evergreen avenue, Youngstown, Ohio.
