• Notes

  The first child of William and Samantha (McClelland) McFarland was Virgil C McFarland, born in 1852, either in Youngstown or Coitsville, Ohio. His father William died when Virgil was less than eight and his mother took him and his younger brothe r William to her parents home in Coitsville. He is listed there as C V McFarland, in the 1860 Coitsville census. His mother remarried in 1863, to John H Reed, and the three of them moved to the neighboring Reed farm where they joined their five new stepsisters and brothers, ages seven through twenty-four. By 1870, at age eighteeen, Virgil had left home, perhaps for nearby Youngstown. At least he was not located in Coitsville, in the 1870 or 1880 enumerations, and is found again in the 1900 Youngstown census. In 1878, Virgil had married Mary, daughter of David and Jemima (Raney) Cooper, born in Ohio, and seven years older than he. They had seven children, three were still living and with them in Youngstown in 1900. At this time he owns his own home o n Rayen Ave, and works for the railroad as a conductor. His twenty-one year old son, Fred L McFarland also works for the railroad as a fireman, and lives at home along with a brother, David C, and sister, Hazel B, both attending school. By 1907, Virgil has died (*1 p 740), probably in Youngstown, leaving Mary a widow.
