| 6555 | will 28 May 1822 Todd Co. Ky. According to the probate records, Arthur McFarland was living in Todd County KY in 1821, which conflicts with the below statement. Mary Helen Haines notes: Goodspeed's History of Southeast Missouri p. 875 "Andrew J. McFarland, farmer who was born in Madison County, Mo., in 1837, is a son of Arthur and Louisa (Morrow) McFarland, and grandson of John McFarland, a native of Virginia, who immigrated to Christian County, Ky. at an early age. Arthur McFarland was born in Christian County, Ky., in 1795 and was of Scotch-Irish descent. He left his native county and state in 1816, and began working at the Mine La Motte mines, but in connection with this followed farming until 1832, when he married Miss Louisa Morrow, who was born in the territory of Upper Louisiana in 1810." Some researchers have the parent of Arthur as John S. McFarland, a son of William McFarland and Eliz. Gibson. This is incorrect as the family of John of Christian Co. KY is DNA connected to the line of Robert McFarland who died in 1751 in Lancaster Co. PA. I found another Arthur McFarland, born 1795 in TN, that is living in Campbell County, TN in the 1850 and 1870 census. He was married to Alcey in 1850 with several children. He is probably part of the Whitley Co. KY McFarlands. 1850 census says born in TN, all others say born in KY, 1880 says both parents born in VA. | McFarland, Arthur (I23490)

| 6565 | WILLIAM KIRK MCFARLAND/MCFARLIN 1860 - 1943 by Peter F McFarlin - 2008 THE EARLY YEARS William Kirk McFarland was born at the Anderson McFarland family farm, on the Hazelton road in Coitsville, Ohio March 12th, 1860. He was the sixth child of Anderson and Sarah Jane Kirk(patrick) McFarland, and the first son to live to maturity. Th e William part of his name came from his grandfather William, born in Ireland in 1780, and the Kirk part was from his mother's shortened maiden name. By 1879, in his Ohio State University registration, Will had changed his last name's spelling fro m McFarland to McFarlin, as did his brother, Thomas Edward McFarlin. He had three older sisters; Vine, by six years, Olive, by four years, and Betty, by two years. In the early years it's likely they helped their mother care for him, and also were likely his first playmates, which soon included his brother Frank , born in 1864, when William was aged four. Soon after that, William started at the local country school nearest to his home. He attended during the winter months, and then, in the long summer vacation, which usually began in spring and overlappe d into autumn, he would probably spend in assisting his father in the operation of the home farm. Young William was required by his family to stay working on the home farm until he reached twenty-one. LEARNING MORE When the family moved up to their larger farm in the Coitsville village center, his father also became the town's postmaster, for a period of seventeen years. This was during the 1860's and 1870's, and visits to the post office quite possibly gav e young William a taste of the larger world expanding into the west via the many railroads being built. Also, both of his sisters, Vine and Bettie were school teachers around 1878-80 while they were still living at home, and may have had some infl uence on William's desire to continue his own schooling. From discussions (# 1, # 2, # 3) between Peter F McFarlin (PFM) and his uncle, Charles Kirk McFarlin, in 1966 and 1974, it was learned that William McFarlin was enrolled in the newly formed Ohio State University, in Columbus, while still at his fa ther's farm. The 1862 federal Land Grant Act provided for the proceeds from the sales of public lands to be used by the states to "finance colleges whose leading object was to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes , primarily in the areas of agriculture and mechanics." Classes began in the new Ohio college in September, 1873, with twenty-four students enrolled on the first day. In 1878, the first class of six men graduated, and in 1879 the University gradua ted its first woman. Upon writing Ohio State, their response to PFM (# 4) was; "The original registration book of the University shows a Will K McFarlin to have registered in September, 1879. He gave his residence as Coitsville, Ohio, his age as 19, and his parent o r guardian as A. McFarlin. He attended the University for one term taking Elementary Physics (in which he received a grade of pass), First Year Civil Engineering (passed with merit), and Second Year Agricultural Drawing (passed)." The June 1st, 1880 Coitsville census for Anderson McFarland indicates that his son William is attending school at age twenty. The next year, when William reached twenty-one, he immediately left home for work with the Rock Island Railroad Line. CAREER IN RAILROADING As uncle Kirk explained it to PFM in 1974 (ibid.# 3)... "In those years, all farm boys were apprenticed to the family. I call it apprenticeship, they served without pay until they were twenty-one, the year of maturity in those days. At which tim e they had served their time, so-to-speak, and were free to do as they wished. Some stayed on the farm, maybe inherited it, you know, and others went out. Apparently he went out immediately he was free. I don't think he cared for farming. The onl y word that we have is that he joined the Rock Island Railroad, and that was quite a firm then." In 1882, when Will was twenty-two, the History of Trumbull and Mahoning Counties writes..."William K (McFarlin) is now engaged on the new through line in the capacity of civil engineer..."(# 5 Williams p 175). He continued engineering and surveyin g for the Atchison, Topeka and Sante Fe railroad in the early to mid 1880's. He was helping to establish their new lines in Kansas, westward from Topeka. The 1885 Kansas state census lists Wm McFarland rooming at widow Cora VanBuskirk's, in Whit e Cloud, Kansas. This was, at the time, a fading corn and wheat milling town which had shipped a great deal of Kansas grains via the Missouri River. William's younger brother, Edward McFarlin also worked for the railroads and later married Anna, o ne of the VanBuskirk daughters. Kirk continues; "He got some job on the Rock Island and this became almost a permanent, or long-time connection. He apparently surveyed the lines as they were laid west and that is where he met up with the man who would become his partner, who's n ame was Frank Hyde. They were men of an age. He had come from ... Wisconsin? And they became very close friends." MCFARLAND, KANSAS Kirk continued with another story to PFM; "...I think he was probably a division engineer by that time (1887) and he worked up and down a division. As they went along, each time they built a water tank, they named a town you see, and when they ra n out of names, they used his - which is our only claim to fame." The present small town of McFarland, Kansas, about thirty miles west of Topeka, had a population of 271 in 2000, and is still located just on the north side of the through rail line , and just south of exit 330 of Interstate 70. In October 2007, while passing through, Peter visited the town, looked over the railroad line, met with the town historian and read all the extant references to confirm(?) the family story. William Mc Farland/McFarlin's name doesn't show up in any reference and, in fact, the town was named after another; Judge Noah C McFarland of Topeka in the year 1887. Perhaps William was an engineer on the line at the time, and helped to lay out the line, bu t the town was not named for him. In 1890 William was listed in the Kansas City directory living in Kansas City at 122 Reynolds Ave, and then Topeka, Kansas by 1891. MARGARET WILTSIE When asked how William met his future wife, Margaret Wiltsie, uncle Kirk explained..."I think, while he was working in Kansas, he came in contact with certain people in Topeka who had membership in a camp in Colorado. This was in the near vicinit y of Creede, which is up at the top of the divide at the head waters of the Rio Grande. My mother was invited there by a different family, to the same fishing camp. They met there under those vacation conditions in the early days of that country , 'cause that was the late 'eighties. He'd been west and was progressing back to Chicago. I have some of his courtship letters that were written from points in Kansas. Well, so one thing led to another, the letters were very formal; courtship lett ers of those days...It came to the point that they were married...in Elgin, where her family were." In January of 1891, for their marraige license, William Kirk McFarlin, age thirty-one, gave his place of residence as Topeka, Kansas, and occupation as; superintendent of railroad maintenance. Margaret Welles Wiltsie gave her age as twenty-six an d residence as Elgin, Illlinois. They were married in Elgin, Illinois June ninth, 1891, by A H Ball, pastor of the 1st Congregational Church. The witnesses to the marraige were Mr. John Wiltsie and Carrie Dickenson. The groom's parents were Anders on McFarlin and Sarah J Kirk. William's place of birth was Coitsville, Ohio. The bride's parents were John C Wiltsie and Mary Welles, and Margaret was born in Elgin, Illinois. The first of their two children, Charles Kirk McFarlin, our quoted story-teller here, was born in Topeka in June of 1892. However, no official record could be found in any of the Kansas state files which might help show where they lived and Willia m's occupational status then. No William McFarland/McFarlin owned property in the Topeka area at that time either. COMING EAST William settled for a few years in Davenport, Iowa by 1894 where he is found listed as the Superintendent of Maintenence and Construction for the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway Co. The Iowa state census of 1895 also lists William, Margar et and Charles, but spelled McFarland. In 1896 Davenport, William McFarlin lives at 1751 Grand Ave and in 1898 at 409 E 14th, Davenport. Kirk relates more of his father's story, picking up a few years later-on, in the late 1890's..."Continuing his history, he was stationed in Davenport, Iowa, when some opening came up, here in the east, to which he was introduced by his friends i n the Rock Island. And he came east to become chief engineer of this road here - the Lackawanna system from here to Buffalo. The headquarters are here (New Jersey), so this is where he came. And that was about 1899 or 1900." William and his family are found in the June 1st, 1900 East Orange, New Jersey US census, renting at 16 Hawthorne Avenue. He is listed as a Chief Engineer for the Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad. Living in the household are his wife Marga ret, age thirty-five, son Charles, age eight, and William's mother-in-law J Mary Wilsey, who was sixty-seven. Donald Welles McFarlin, his second son, is born there in October of 1900. RR CAREER AND INVENTIONS "Now, he..." (William) "... stayed with them in that position for about ten or twelve years. In the meantime, his later-to-be partner (Hyde) had become a very successful railroad builder and he had even built one of the Grand Central Stations. An d so eventually he left the Lackawanna and they went together as contractors to railroads. That was about 1910, and they worked here in that way until 1925. (McFarlin family anecdote has it that Kirk laid out much of the newer railroad systems i n New Jersey.) "But the war caused them difficulties because the war was a complete changeover in the method of doing business and he and his partner had been brought up to do business by hand and by word, not by contract. Then when the age of con tracts came in, and the unions, this they couldn't combat. So at that time they both began to retire." While active in the railroad contracting business, William's engineering mind came up with the practical idea of improving the outdoor railroad platform roofs, which shed water and snow down onto the passengers while they were getting on and off t he trains. His new design had a row of single supporting columns in the center of the platform between the two railroad tracks at the station. These columns held up the protective, reversed roof by a cantilevered truss, all of which appears as a ' Y' shape in cross-section, and which cupped the 'elements' away from the patrons and down central drain pipes. This simple innovation was revolutionary and most all railroad termini installed them until they became commonplace. William never paten ted the design himself and so never gained recognition or royalties. William is listed in the 1910 East Orange, New Jersey census, owning his own home at 180 Glenwood Avenue, age fifty, a railroad manager and married nineteen years. He is living with his wife Margaret and sons Charles K, age eighteen and Donald, ag e nine. They also have one Swedish servant cooking for them. Whoever the informant was on April 25th that year (wife Margaret?), gave some erroneous data to the census taker, by saying that William "MacFarland" was born in Scotland, with both pare nts born in Scotland, and being a naturalized citizen in 1885. It is certain that William was born in Coitsville, Ohio, proven with data taken from many other records and reports. The partner of William's was Frank Davis Hyde, born in Wisconsin, and occupied as a railroad contractor. He was listed in the 1910 South Orange, New Jersey census, living at 576 Center Street with his wife Ada and their only child, a newborn daugh ter Frances. They had three Finnish servants; cook, maid and waitress. By the 1920 census, William, Margaret and their two sons are now found living at 170 Glenwood Ave in East Orange, which is about a mile and a half walk from a RR station into NYC. William is occupied as a railroad contractor and as an employer. Th e family is now prosperous enough to have five others in their service at their home: George Ader, age forty-nine, chauffeur; Anna Ader, cook, age forty-five; Carrie Ader, nurse, age nineteen (the three Aders were black and born in New Jersey); El izabeth M Merritt, widow age forty-two, maid; and Margaret A O'Connor, age sixty-one, maid. All these domestic helpers are living in the garage at the rear of the main house. (In 2008, Google Earth shows the home from both the air and the street l evel.) In 1920, Frank Hyde, William's partner of about fifteen years, was still living with his wife Ada and daughter Frances a few miles away at 471 Center Street in South Orange. That census lists him also as a railroad contractor, and being a n employer. They, too, are prospering well enough to have four servants who are living with them. DIFFICULTIES We pick up uncle Kirk's story again about this time..."Now my father - it was in 1921 or 1922 that my father and mother separated. My father set up single living in an apartment down in East Orange. My brother went with him. He (William) lived a t a small family hotel down in East Orange and my mother lived variously in this area here. Always by herself, never with us." William took a trip to Hawaii in 1923, returning to San Francisco on February 21st after a two day passage from Honolulu. This was perhaps to relax and settle his mind after the separation. Again, in 1926, William Kirk McFarlin returns to the US f rom another trip, this time in the West Indies, where he cruised for a month on the S.S. California during the month of January. He gives his birth place as Youngstown, Ohio and address in the United States as; 90 West St NY, NY, likely his plac e of business. In March of 1928 William arrives back from Cherbourg, France from another trip, with his home address given as 120 Hamson (sic=Harrison) St, East Orange, NJ . RIFE - AND A BUSINESS THEFT Question by PFM to his uncle Kirk; "When did the Rife Company come in?"(# 6) "Well, this is how that happened. About the time he and Frank Hyde had completed some substantial work for the Lackawanna, they had a period of nothing to do. Some clever promoters from down in Roanoke who had opened an office up here, had manage d to work off a substantial part of the stock of this company on my father and Frank Hyde. They were then not active, so it looked like a good business. So they decided they'd get into this. Acquired enough of the stock to make it possible. He wa s an inactive stockholder from 1910 to 1918, then they were more engaged and he went into it to fill time. From that time on he continued, even though the company's condition went to pot - terribly. "It (Rife) had been founded in '85. and he became active from 1920 until 1927. At that time, the office manager, in whom he had entrusted everything...and his wife, who was his book keeper, committed the inevitible; they walked out one night wit h all the records of the company. And they had all the customer lists, and they set up business right down the street. There were a great many details involved that I had to become familiar with in the process...He had an infinite faith in people . This was one of the causes of his difficulties, because when I had to step into this picture, I discovered that there was a great deal of dishonesty at his expense during the progress of this business which he had tried to operate during the yea rs. I have to admit I saw this through settling several of his scores...in process of continuing what had to be done. "But, the men of that generation were simply sitting ducks for the slap-happy crowd that came up with the two wars, you know. The times changed...It was a different generation. They dealt by the word, not the written agreement or with lawyers. H e would not deal with a lawyer. Repeatedly, as he went through history, there were occasions where he was taken advantage of because he did not have faith in lawyers. He would rather forget it. "This created an almost impossible condition which my father fought for the rest of his life. When he died - and in my opinion - considerably from the conditions resulting from the Depression. You see, this fellow took off and immediately followe d the Depression which was followed by the recovery of the late 'thirties, and then the War. It was enough to knock a stronger man out. He was eighty-two when he died. I think it had considerable to do with his death. The strain and this disappoin tment, you know?" The census of 1930 finds William K McFarlin, age seventy, living alone at 120 Harrison Street, East Orange, renting for $120 a month. He reports that he is married, was born in Ohio and was currently occupied as a construction engineer. During 1935 to 1937 he was occasionally invited over to his son Donald's home to visit with Donald, wife Peggy and their little daughter Alison and baby son Peter. He took his 1936 Thanksgiving dinner there, (with their little dogs and cat at hi s feet getting turkey scraps). "We played rummy too, and had a good time." (Peggy McFarlin letter) Kirk continues, regarding Mrs McFarlin's financial support from William and the Rife company..."Now, this I did want to say to you, which I think is a matter of great interest. As my mother's condition became more and more difficult, it becam e - I had tried to stay out of this affair - I had spent years trying to keep it together and when it failed, I let it go. I mean I stayed away from it. I supported my mother, which I thought was the right thing to do. But, as the years went on, i t became necessary, as a matter of fact, I was the fiscal agent, everything came through me. My father did his best to offer support..." (to wife Margaret) "...until the time when he passed away. But we came to have considerable respect for each o ther. We used to visit him down at this little hotel. I'd often stop there on a saturday afternoon. He had a room. He was very happy because he could have his food, he could have everything and there was this room. "He had three things in that room outside of the furniture, most of which they had furnished. Let me think, he had a bible, he had a dictionary, and he had an atlas. That was the furnishings of his room. He, of course, was always reading, he woul d get a book, but he would pass it on, or return it where it came from." WILLIAM'S CHARACTER "But, I have thought that any man who has mastered himself to the point of disposing of all of his - everything worldly - was something really extraordinary. "He was a tremendous reader, he had definite characteristics. He was a great naturalist, tremendously informed. He had been a very expert golfer in his time...He was a very gregarious person. He had many, many friends and he was highly esteemed b y an awful lot of people... but when it came to politics, I guess he and I were somewhat the same, we never took it seriously... He was always a decent man, but to my knowledge never really had a (church) affiliation... "He was an extremely social person...but he went more to the company of men. Of course, you see this thing (living together with his wife and socializing together) was cut off when he was sixty - about the time of this break and thats a hard tim e to judge. "His hair was a very dark brown, not black, (later) his hair was white... He always had good color and he had extremely strong, blue eyes...In later years he suffered from cataracts. He had one eye repaired...I did hear he had had a heart attack , but I was never told about it. Outside of this eye trouble, that was all I knew of. He was a very strong man...and was six feet, but he was heavier than I am, even when he died, he was heavier. (than Kirk's 160 lbs) "Eventually he passed away very quietly and very quickly, hurrying up a pair of stairs to take a train to his office, at the age of eighty-two. Bang, just like that." PASSING William Kirk McFarlin died unexpectedly on a Monday morning at the Brick Church railway station platform in East Orange. He was on his way to work, as usual. His son, Charles Kirk McFarlin, of Delwick Lane, Short Hills, New Jersey, gave informatio n for William's death certificate in 1943, saying William was a mechanical engineer, living at Hotel Alvord, East Orange, New Jersey, born March 12, 1860 in Coitsville, Ohio, son of Anderson McFarlin and Sarah (Patty-Betty?) Jane Kirk, both born i n Coitsville. The medical examiner gave reason for death as, "Sudden death on Brick Church Station platform; Cardiac failure, arteriosclerotic heart disease, Dec 6, 1943, 8:20 am." William was cremated (and buried?) at Rosehill Cemetery, Linden, N ew Jersey, December 9th, 1943. FSID LKD7-N4R (Research):Family Tree DNA (www.familytree.com) Family Tree for Mr. Peter Folsom McFarlin Whenever asked by Peter in later years, his mother, Peggy McFarlin and his aunt Mary (Folsom) Applegate always spoke highly of his grandfather William and were sorry not to have continued contact over his remaining years, from 1938 to 1943. NOTES AND REFERENCES (# 1) McFarlin; 1966 - In October, while living in Riverdale, NJ and working at Alpine Geophysical Associates in Norwood, NJ, PFM first ever looked up (and 'phoned) his uncle Kirk and aunt Polly McFarlin. This was followed in November by a visit f rom PFM to the McFarlin's home on Delwick Lane in Short Hills, NJ. At that time, uncle Kirk gave PFM a small amount of data and information.

| 6566 | William Lennox first appears in the 1841 census in Stewarton, Ayrshire. He is a tailor, born in Creetown, Kirkcubright (Kirkcudbrightshire). He is listed as 25 years old, which would put his birth at 1816. I have not found his birth record. He and family are present in 1851, but in 1861 he is not present, but his wife Isabella is the head of the household. His eldest son William had moved to Derbyshire England. The marriage record for William and Isabella is available in the Stewarton Ayrshire parish records. His death record is available, and it says he died in 1858 in Stewarton, and he was 49 years old, which puts his birth around 1809. It also states that his mother's maiden name was Armour.

| 6570 | WILLIAM MACFARLANE, first son of David MacFarlane and Janet Millar, was b. in the village of Johnstone, Scotland, Apr. 30, 1828. This is a small hamlet situated 3 miles west of Paisley. Dwelling houses were known to be nicely made, slated roofs and two stories high. Cotton was the chief industry, and after a very.rapid growth, the town became a very large city. William left Scotland with his parents in 1842, settling in Puslinch, Ontario, Canada. He married Flora Campbell, who was born Mar. 12, 1830, at Paisley, Scotland. They were married about 1850. They are listed in the 1861 census of Owensound with their first 4 children, occupation as that of a farmer and as members of the Disciples of Christ Church, which was founded by Alexander Campbell. Leaving Ontario about 1869, they 'William and his family' migrated to the Red River Valley, and William worked for the Hudson Bay Trading Company, which was then at Fort Gary, now Winnipeg. In the latter years of their lives, they made their home with their youngest son Duncan, and earlier, Flora spent many years with the daughter, Flora MacFarlane Grieve. William died May 26, 1904 and Flora died Sept. 6, 1913, at Holton, Kansas. Both are buried in the Old Baptist churchyard cemetery, at Auburn, Nebraska. They were parents of 9 children comprising the 5th generation: David b. Oct. 2, 1850; Flora b. Jul. 20, 1853; John b.1854, d. 1910; William b. 1856; Archibald Campbell b.

| 6571 | William Mason McFarland/McFarlin PFM Edited Oct 2018 William Mason McFarland was listed in the Coitsville, Ohio census of 1 860 when his widowed mother Samantha (McClelland) McFarland had return ed to her parents home there. After she remarried John H Reed in 186 3 they all moved to the nearby Ree d farm. William stayed on and helpe d in the building of a successful farming business (*1 p 175) with hi s new stepfather and stepbrothers, where he was listed in 1870. Later , in 1880, he was continuing to farm at his step-brother William Reed ' s farm in Coitsville. He married after 1880, but appears to have had no children, and was di vorced before his death in 1891. In the Application for letters ... Wi lliam McFarlin of Youngstown died 17 April 1891, leaving no widow, hav ing been divorced. Virgil C McFarl in, admr., states he is the only hei r.

| 6572 | WILLIAM MCFARLAND (ca 1823 to ca 1856) (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, revised Oct 2018) William (son of "John") McFarland, "...reared a large family. Eleven c hildren arrived at years of maturity. But one son is living, Anderson , at Coitsville. Four of his daughters are living, viz: Mrs Lydia Maha n, Liberty, Trumbull county; Miss J emima McFarlin, Niles; Mrs Matild a Price, Coitsville, and Mrs Lavina Harris, Youngstown..." (*1 p 168) . In the sketch for Elizabeth Loveland (*1 p 165), Williams wrote, ".. .Elizabeth became the mother of six sons and six daughters." All abo v e written in 1881-1882. This William McFarland (jr), is probably the son of William and Elizab eth (Loveland) McFarland. In 1830, he appeared to be at home on his father's farm on the Hazelto n road in Coitsville, one of eleven children at that time. Ten years l ater, at age sixteen, he continued at home, helping his father farm. I n 1850 he appeard to have moved t o nearby Youngstown and is a clerk li ving with the A D Jacobs family. A D Jacobs' wife, Elizabeth, may b e a McFarland relation? Later, in Dec 1850, William McFarland married Samantha McClelland, dau ghter of William and Hannah McClelland of Coitsville. He and Samanth a had grown up a few miles from each other. Samantha's father William , had been appointed the guardian o f this William McFarland's uncle Al exander's children, after Alexander was killed by a falling tree. However, it seems that William jr died sometime between 1853, (since h is second son William M McFarland was born in 1854), and 1860, when hi s widowed wife Samantha is found living back at her parents home in Co itsville. About 1863 Samantha McFa rland remarries to a near neighbor , widower John Reed of Coitsville. Probate, land and vital records should be checked for this William.

And again, in the 1830 census a n unnamed male (age 20-30) is also listed, now as the oldest (other th an the head of household; Alexande r McFarland). This male could be a s on; William. In 1850, William and Sarah had a daughter named Margaret A McFarlan d - could be named after her grandmother Margery (Anderson) McFarland? By 1870 this William's wife Sarah had moved to Newcastle, Lawrence co , Pennsylvania and was the head of the household, living there with da ughter Margaret and son James McFarland.

| 6574 | WILLIAM MCFARLAND/MCFARLIN (1780 to 1853) SCOTS IRISH PIONEER and OHIO DISTILLER (Research by 2nd gr gr grandson Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, rev ised Dec, 2019) William McFarland was born 8 May, 1780; (Pioneer Cemetery record) in I reland (confirmed by his 1850 census and son Amos' 1880 census) and im migrated to America along with his family, about 1796. (*1). This arri val date also agrees with his olde r brother Alexander's deposition giv en about the same time. William's father; John McFarland was likely with the family when the y came from county Tyrone, Ireland. They all apparently lived somewher e in eastern Pennsylvania, since his father John McFarland; "... was k illed east of the Mountains..." (* 2 p 1024). (see John McFarland’s De c 2019 biography elsewhere). About 1799 William's mother, the widow Margery (Anderson) McFarland ap pears to have arrived in Hopewell (New Bedford), Pennsylvania with he r children. (see Margery McFarland’s Dec 2019 biography elsewhere). Sh e apparently lived with her brothe r John Anderson in Hopewell/New Bedf ord for a few years. She and her children are likely enumerated with J ohn Anderson in the August 1800 US census (pg 433 for Mercer co, PA) , "... and then moved to Trumbull County, Ohio, where (William McFarl i n) was engaged in farming and distilling. (*2 p 1024)." About 1803 William, age about twenty-three, arrived in Coitsville, Ohi o with his widowed mother Margery and five brothers and sisters, wher e they likely lived together with his older brother Alexander for th e first few years (*3 p 168). Willia m may have received (bought?) 10 0 acres of land in Oct of 1807. (*4a). He was a farmer (as most all we re termed) and was on the county poll tax lists in Coitsville, Ohio a t least for 1807 through 1811 (*4b). In December of 1812, William an d ne ighbor Elizabeth Loveland were married. They were both of Coitsvil le, Ohio (*5). She was the daughter of Amos and Jemima (Dickenson) Lov eland. William and Elizabeth "...settled on the top of the hill on the Hazelt on road...in early times had a distillery and pushed the business wit h energy for some years... He reared a large family. Eleven children a rrived at years of maturity" (*3 p p 168,171). William was conscripted into the US army to fight in the War of 1812 ( *6) and he "...served six weeks, then returned home and hired a substi tute." Dates of enlistment were January 1st to March 9th 1813. He serv ed as an infantry private in Capt . James Hezlop's company. In 1820, all six of William and Elizabeth's children at the time wer e listed as under ten. The 1820 Coitsville census lists the widow Marg ery McFarland's four sons; William, Andrew, James and Alexander, in th eir own households all living near e ach other in Coitsville, three eve n adjacent. See 1830 map below; showing the four McFarlin brothers. Al so shown nearby in southwest Coitsville, across the Mahoning River, i s Amos Loveland, age 58, and his family. All four of the McFarlin fam i lies were 'engaged in agriculture'. By the 1830 census there were eleven people enumerated in William’s ho usehold. In the 1831 Coitsville personal property list ‘William McFarl in’ owned two lots of land; 50 acres and 167 acres. (see 1830 Plat ma p above) He also owned two horses a nd six cattle. "... In 1831, Will iam McFarland built the old stone house to which the parents of Mrs Cr eed moved..." (*8 p 859). In both the 1840 and 1850 censuses, he rema ined in farming. In the census of 1850, he named IRELAND as his pla c e of birth and value of real estate at $4,800, a substantial family fa rm for those days. This 1840 Coitsville Town Plat map indicates the first town roads by d otted lines. Land owned by the four McFarlin brothers shows them in th e southwest and south area of the town. Alexander McFarlin died 1833 (age fifty-five) Owned sawmill. His heir s own - 77 acres William McFarlin - age sixty - 160 acres and 50 acres. Ran a successfu l distillery. Andrew McFarlin - age fifty-six - 80 acres. Postmaster and ran “Temper ance House” in the Village James McFarlin died 1838 (at age forty-three), distiller. His heirs ow n - 124 acres William McFarland died on his farm in Coitsville, November (or Decembe r?), 1853, aged seventy-three. He "died Nov 12(sic), 1853" (*7 Edwards ). In his estate settlement (*9), his widow Elizabeth and son Anderso n were appointed administrators, an d on the bond were "A D Jacobs an d John McFarlin". A. D. Jacobs was a merchant in Youngstown who ha d a William McFarlane, clerk, age twenty-seven, boarding at the mercha nt's home in 1850. This may indicate some kind of family connection. T he J ohn McFarlin, also on the bond, was likely William and Elizabeth' s son John (age about 34), who had been living at nearby David Lovelan d's farm in 1850. The 18 Dec, 1853 Inventory shows goods set off to widow, and debts owe d to the estate were from; Edward Mahan, Calvin Applegate, David Lovel and, (son) Anderson McFarlin, Henry Morgan, J. B. Wolf, John Milligan , A.Y. Boak, A.D. Jacobs, and Davi d McMullin. At the 30 Dec 1853 vend ue (public auction) for William McFarland's remaining estate, the onl y McFarlands present were "Jno. and Andrew."

| 6580 | WILLIAM RANKIN, farmer and miller. For over forty-five years Mr. Rankin has been running the oldest and the first flouring mill establishment ever built or operated in Cooper county - the old Boyd mill on the Petite Saline. Originally it was a water mill with a capacity of but two bushels of wheat per hour and was only fifteen feet square. For this, with twenty-six acres of ground, his father paid $2,750 as far back as 1838, the water power being considered the valuable part of the property. The mill had then been run eight years, and the following year Mr. Win. Rankin commenced the erection of a new mill on the site of the old one, and completed it in 1840, then one of the largest and best mills in central Missouri. For fourteen years he run it by water power, but about 1854 added steam to it, since which it has been run by the latter power almost exclusively. It now has a capacity of over 800 bushels of grain per day, or more correctly twenty bushels of wheat and fifteen bushels of corn per hour. This mill has a wide reputation for the purity and excellence of the breadstuffs it manufactures, and is one of the noted popular mills in the county. Besides this, Mr. Rankin has an excellent farm which he conducts with substantial success. His parents, Matthew and Nancy (Smith) Rankin, were both of Irish birth, the father born near Londonderry in 1777, and his mother near Dublin in 1779. Both came to America early in life and were married in Hagerstown, Pennsylvania, in 1802. Subsequently they removed to Virginia, and there William, the subject of this sketch, was born in Winchester, Frederick county, October 20, 1806. Of four brothers and four sisters, but one brother, James, now of Hickory county, this state, is living. The father and family came to Cooper county in 1830, and here both parents lived until their deaths. In 1844, April 4, William Rankin, the subject of this sketch, was married to Miss Elizabeth, daughter of William and Susanna McFarland, of this county. Two sons were born to them: Silas, born January 9, 1845, and Robert S., born December 13, 1849. Robert S. was married May 14, 1873, to Miss Louisa Duncan, and now has three children; Maud, born February 25, 1874; Mabel, horn June 11, 1875; and Myrtle, born April 20, 1877. Both sons are identified with their father in the conduct of both the mill and farm. Mr. Rankin has sought no political office through life, nor held any except that of township collector in 1868. His son, Robert, is a member of the A. F. and A. M. and A. O. U. W. WILLIAM RANKIN, farmer and miller.
