| Notes |
- The Nehemiah Harris farmstead in 1840 and 1850 appears to have been just to the east of Coitsville center, adjacent to the Davidson, Dolby and Wick families. He was from Pennsylvania and his wife Anna was born in Ohio. Their son Hamilton was bor n there in 1833. The farm was about three miles east of the William McFarland farm which was located on the Hazleton road nearer to Youngstown. Hamilton was seventeen in 1850 and was attending school as well as helping on the family farm.
By 1860 Hamilton's father had resettled in Washington, Hardin county, Ohio and Hamilton had married Candace McFarland, daughter of William and Elizabeth (Baldwin) McFarland. They had been married three years, had two daughters, and were living i n Youngstown where Hamilton had started his own small farm.
In 1870 Hamilton, Candace and their three children, Myrtle, William and Minnie, still had a home farm while Hamilton was occupied as a carpenter. They lived outside of Youngstown city near a very large farm owned by Abraham Powers.
The 1880 census shows us that Hamilton has now remarried to Candace's younger sister Lavina McFarland, also a daughter of William and Elizabeth McFarland. His children by Candace; Myrtle, William and Minnie, are still in the household. Both Hamilt on and his twenty year-old son William are occupied as carpenters, while living in a neighborhood of Welsh miners, Scottish engineers and a few farmers.
Importantly, at this time in 1880, we find living in the Harris household, Elizabeth (Loveland) McFarland, age 89, the mother of both Candace (who died Aug, 1874), and Lavina, Harrison's present wife. Also living there is Elizabeth's first child A mos McFarland, age 67. Both Elizabeth and Amos are listed as boarders.
Hamilton's second wife Lavina (McFarland) died by 1900 and he had married again to an Elizabeth (____), born in Scotland, November, 1848. This third marraige was apparently childless, and by 1910 Hamilton Harris who was now thrice a widower, was l iving with a grand-daughter (Maude) and Lois Jewell, housekeeper (she was also with him in 1900 as a 'domestic'). Next door, also on Evergreen Avenue, lived his (and Candace's) son William Harris.
1920 was the last census to show Hamilton Harris, now age 86, a widower, still living with Lou Jewell, housekeeper, on West Evergreen avenue, Youngstown, Ohio.

(Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, updated Dec 2018)
The Nehemiah Harris farmstead in 1840 and 1850 appears to have been ju st to the east of Coitsville center, adjacent to the Davidson, Dolby a nd Wick families. He was from Pennsylvania and his wife Anna was bor n in Ohio. Their son Hamilton was bo rn there in 1833. The farm was abo ut three miles east of the William McFarland farm which was located o n the Hazleton road nearer to Youngstown. Hamilton was seventeen in 18 50 and was attending school as well as helping on his family's farm.
By 1860 Hamilton's father had resettled in Washington, Hardin county , Ohio and Hamilton had married Candace McFarland, daughter of Willia m and Elizabeth (Baldwin) McFarland. They had been married three year s, had two daughters, and were livin g in Youngstown where Hamilton ha d started his own small farm.
In 1870 Hamilton, Candace and their three children, Myrtle, William an d Minnie, still had a home farm while Hamilton was occupied as a carpe nter. They lived outside of Youngstown city near a very large farm own ed by Abraham Powers.
The 1880 census shows us that Hamilton has now remarried to Candace' s younger sister Lavina McFarland, also a daughter of William and Eliz abeth McFarland. His children by Candace; Myrtle, William and Minnie , are still in the household. Both Ham ilton and his twenty year-old so n William are occupied as carpenters, while living in a neighborhood o f Welsh miners, Scottish engineers and a few farmers.
Importantly, at this time in 1880, we find living in the Harris househ old, Elizabeth (Loveland) McFarland, age 89, the mother of both Candac e (who died Aug, 1874), and Lavina, Harrison's present wife. Also livi ng there is Elizabeth's first chil d Amos McFarland, age 67. Both Eliza beth and Amos are listed as boarders.
