  MARGARET (MCCLELLAND?) MCFARLAND (1781 to ca 1855) (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - draft of Jan 17, 2011, Oct 2018) Margaret (McClelland?) married Alexander McFarland about 1803 or 1804 , which is inferred from the age of their son John, born about 1805 . I have tentatively made her a daughter of (John?) McClelland, sinc e there is so much 'interaction' with Mc Clellands throughout this McFa rland family's life. In Pennsylvania, where Alexander likely lived for the eight years prio r to his 1800 arrival in Coitsville, Ohio, there are numerous McClella nd families 'available' for him to meet. Margaret was born in Pennsylv ania about 1781 (1850 census), an d would be 23 at the time of her marr aige. In the 1820 Coitsville census (her age now thirty-nine), she ha s six sons and a daughter. At that time, a John McClelland (age 45+) a nd his family, live nearby to the south in Poland, Ohio. In 1830, t h e same John McClelland, (now aged 70-80), still lives in Poland. Thi s man could well be her father, since she is forty-nine in 1830. Proba te records should be checked here. The 1840 Coitsville "heads of families" census, lists (widow) Margare t McFarlane, with two girls and two boys. Her next-door farmer neighbo rs, each with their families, are listed as; Andrew McFarlane, age 50- 60, (probably her brother-in-law) , and another Andrew McFarlane, age 2 0-30, who was likely her son. Also at that time, now nearby in Coitsvi lle, was a William McClelland, age 30-40, possibly her nephew or young er brother, and perhaps the appointed guardian of her younger child ren . Again, in 1850, widow Margaret maintains her Coitsville household, no w only with her two youngest sons; James, age 35, and Robert, age 27 , who were both listed as laborers. Her son Alex McFarlane, who is no w age 40, a blacksmith, lives next doo r with his own family. William M cClelland, a farmer, age 48, born in Pennsylvania, also still lives ne arby. One of his daughters, Samantha McClelland, age 23, is living a t the Wm McClelland home. Later that year, Samantha marries a Willia m McF arland, probably son of William and Betsy (Loveland) McFarland. Widow Margaret is not found in any of the 1860 or 1870 census schedule s for Coitsville and area. She perhaps died between 1850 and 1860. PFM's SOURCES for Margaret (McClelland?)
