- ANNETTA J MCFARLAND (1842 to bef 1882)
(Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, updated Dec 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.
Annetta J McFarland was born about 1842, probably in Coitsville, Ohio , likely the daughter of William and Elizabeth (Loveland) McFarland. H er next oldest living sibling in 1850 was her sister Lavina, age seven teen, while she was nine years youn ger. This age difference was somewh at unusual then, and so there's a possibility that this Annetta McFarl and could be someone else's child. Other records should be checked.
She was in Elizabeth McFarland's household in 1860, and was both atten ding school and teaching school, probably assisting in one of the smal l, local neighborhood schools.
A possible record of her after 1860 is a marraige notice in the Mahoni ng co Probate records of a Seber(sp?) Brownlee and an Annette McFarli n marrying on the 6th of November 1860. She is not mentioned in Willia ms (above) and likely died by 1882.
No further information has been found for either of these two.
