• Notes

  SAMUEL MCFARLAND (ca 1818 -1895) - SHENANGO, PA BLACKSMITH (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May 2012, updated Oct 2018) Williams states that most of Alexander's seven sons and two daughter s "settled in this vicinity" (*1 p 168). This Samuel's name and approx imate birthdate were taken from his father Alexander's estate settleme nt. In March, 1833, the inventory of his father's estate states, "... Ale x, late of Poland..." and, later that, "...Goods set off to widow an d children". Sale held 16 Apr 1833... Alex of Coitsville, some of th e buyers were: Andrew, Margaret, Willi am, and Alexander McFarlane... p artial settlement, mentions cash paid to Alex. McF, Jr and Andrew Mc F "(*2). Further, that; "... William McClelland appt guardian to James McF an d Samuel McF until 21 years; to Robert McF til 14 yrs; to Peggy McF ti l 12... all minor children and heirs of Alexr. McFarlane late of Coits ville. James and Samuel made their o wn choice...". In the Trumbull co Marraige index is found; "Samuel McFarland to Maria h Kirk, on 12 May 1842, at Coitsville by Wm Nisbbitt." 1850 is the first census listing Samuel, where he is living in Shenang o, Mercer co, PA with his wife Mary and sons Ralph K and Mead. Samuel' s occupation is a blacksmith. The 1860 census of Shenango, Mercer co, PA lists Samuel and Mary McFar land with three children; Samuel, Caleb, and Alice. No Ralph or Mead a re present - they died young. Also living with them is Elizabeth Kirkp atrick age 75 born in Pennsylvania . She is Elizabeth (Baldwin) Kirkpat rick, Samuel's mother. In 1870 Samuel McFarland is living next to his brother Andrew in Shena ngo, Mercer co, Pennsylvania, with only his Caleb, age sixteen. His wi fe Mary (Kirkpatrick) was not located in the 1870 census. The 1880 Shenango, PA census shows Samuel, as a widower, living only w ith a housekeeper and some boarders. He gives the information that hi s father (Alexander b 1770's) was born in Ireland and mother [Elizabet h (Baldwin) Kirkpatrick] was born i n Pennsylvania. However, in anothe r 1880 census from Canfield, Ohio, his wife Mary is found living wit h their son Caleb. She is listed as being married. A bit of a myster y here as to why Samuel and Mary are living apart. Samuel McFarlin's (sic) headstone (1818-1895) is found in the Haywoo d Cemetery, West Middlesex, Mercer co, PA along with his wife Mary's ( 10 June 1822 - 28 Jan 1909) and their two infant sons markers; R Mead e McFarlin (1848-1850) and Ralph K Mc Farlin (1848-1850).
