• Notes

  ISABEL (MCFARLAND) MCGILL (ca 1792 to after 1850) (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, reviewed June 2019) Isabel McFarland, like many other early Ohio women, is difficult to trace, since heads of families were either widows or men and the early US censuses were really only for those heads of households, with no other names or actual ages given. We start with the 1882 citation from Williams as he writes in his shor t biography of the widow Margery McFarland and children, in Coitsville , Ohio, that Margery "...came to this township from Ireland about the year 1804...Isabel, the oldest, mar ried James McGill... " (*1 p 168) . Perhaps she was the oldest daughter, but appears to not be the oldest sibling, since other census and death records place some of her McFarland brothers clearly as older. Isabel likely remained in her brother Alexander's household along wit h her mother Margery and the rest of the family until she married abou t 1818. Her husband, James F McGill was from Poland, Ohio, the next to wn to the south. He and his father' s family ran the early grist mill t here in the village of McGillsville on the Mahoning river. This may ha ve been where Isabel and James met in the early 1800's. Based on the surmise that she and James lived with his father John McG ill's family in Poland, and that they are enumerated there in the 182 0 census, then the one young girl shown there most likely is theirs. T his one child is "under ten", and p robably age one or two; hence thei r marraige date of about 1818. But there could be other circumstances , and more evidence is needed. Ohio county marraiges did not list a ma rraige for Isabel McFarland and James McGill. It's even less clear where they are later. They may still be with hi s father in Poland in 1830, or she and children may be the Isabella Mc Gill located to the southeast, over the line into North Beaver, Pennsy lvania, also on the Mahoning river . This (widow?) Isabella McGill no w has four children; three, ages 10-15, and one, age five to ten. Thi s Isabella is not a strong possibility because twenty years later, ano ther(?) Isabella McGill and a J F McGill were witnesses at the marrai g e of (their son) James W McGill to Emily Rumsey in Espyville, Pennsylv ania (*2). Isabel (McFarland) McGill needs to be further researched.
