    • 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.
