  SAMANTHA MCCLELLAND (1820 to 1896) (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - Oct, 2018) Samantha McClelland was married to William McFarland, 5 Dec 1850, b y A O Rockwell (*1). She was the daughter of William and Hannah McClel land, both born in Pennsylvania, who came to Poland, Ohio, the next to wn south of Coitsville, in the 1820's . Samantha is indicated in the 18 30 Poland census as their first daughter. By 1840, Samantha, with her parents, had moved north into Coitsville , quite near various McFarland families, including her future husband , William McFarland. Samantha and her parents are still found there i n 1850, living in the same neighborhoo d with the McFarlands, McBrides , Harris', Kimmels and Kirks, all future relatives of hers (by marryin g a McFarland, and then a Reed). After their wedding in late 1850, th e couple may have stayed in Coitsville with William's parents, Willia m an d Betsy, or with her family. Land records here would be the most h elp to see if they had been granted any land to start with on their ow n. They had two sons; Virgil and William Mason McFarland, and then appare ntly, her husband William died. The widow Samantha is found (with he r children) at her McClelland parents Coitsville home in 1860. March 4th 1863, at age thirty-five, she married John H Reed, (widowe r of Jane Kimmel, *2 p 175). John was also from the same 'neighborhood ' in Coitsville. He was twelve years older than she, and had four chil dren of his own. Samantha and Joh n had two more daughters; Althea an d Pluma. This new family is presented in the 1870 census, still livin g in the same general area of Coitsville. In their household is Samant ha's youngest McFarland son, Mason, age seventeen, helping out as a f a rm laborer on his stepfather's farm. In 1880, Mason is with the Willia m Reed family in Coitsville. Samantha (McClellend) McFarland Reed is listed in the 1880 Coitsvill e census with her farming husband John Reed and their two daughters. S amantha Reed died 12 March 1896 and was buried in the Oak Hill Cemetey , Youngstown, Ohio.
