- JOHN MCFARLAND/MCFARLIN (1817 to 1862)
(Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, revised Oct 2018)
John McFarland, was born 24 March 1817, in Coitsville, Ohio. He appear s to be enumerated in his father William's household, both in 1820 an d 1830. But, in 1840, when he would be about twenty, he is not found w ith his father or listed as head o f his own household. It may be tha t he is with another household. There are Loveland's living very nea r by, where he may be living and working and where he appears to be li sted, by name, in 1850.
In the 1850 Coitsville census, an apparently unmarried John McFarlan e was living on the David Loveland farm, very near to William McFarlan d's. This John McFarlane is likely the son of William and Elizabeth (L oveland) McFarland; his age is thirt y (ie, born in 1820, which fits th e 1830 enumeration for William's family), he appears to be single, wa s born in Ohio, and is a farmer, owning real estate valued at $1,500 . John would be the 1st cousin of David Loveland.
About 1851 John McFarland married Sarah Moore who was born in Ireland . She was the daughter of James Moore and Jane Thompson Moore.
Two years later, in 1853, John McFarland's father William died (*2). T he "John McFarlin" listed on the bond was likely this son (b1819), an d also likely the "Jno"(sic) present at the vendue with an Andrew, lik ely his brother.
By 1860, John McFarland and Sarah had a substantial farm, valued at $1 0,000, near the coal-mining area of Thorn Hill in northwest Coitsville . He and his wife have three children with them at the time; James F M cFarland age 8, Candis McFarland a ge 6, and Sarah J McFarland age 4. A t this time, John had prospered enough to have a servant living in hi s household; James Alexander age 19, born in Ohio.
By 1870, John had died (1862) and his widow Sarah McFarland is found l iving in the town of Brookfield, Ohio, two towns to the north of Coits ville. Sarah has with her the same three children as ten years earlier , James, Candis and Sarah.
Again, in 1880, widow Sarah McFarland is located in Brookfield now wit h her son James McFarland and a granddaughter, Candis Clark.
