• Notes

  "...Mrs McFarlin is the daughter of Andrew and Elizabeth (Baldwin) Kirk. Andrew Kirk came at an early date from Washington county, Pennsylvania; he was originally from New Jersey. Elizabeth Baldwin was the daughter of Caleb Baldwin, one of the fir st settlers in Youngstown..."(*1 p 175). Sarah Jane Kirk, daughter of Andrew and Elizabeth (Baldwin) Kirk(patrick), was the youngest of thirteen children. Her father Andrew was one of the first blacksmiths in Youngstown, Ohio (about 1800). Andrew's blacksmith shop (and home?) was next t o Caleb Baldwin on the north side of Federal street in 1805 -10. Caleb reportedly had given his daughter Elizabeth and her husband Andrew a farm of fifty-three acres nearby in Coitsville, just south of the Thorn Hill area on the McGuffey road. Thi s farm they made their homestead at least by 1826, and Sarah was born there in Coitsville, Ohio, January, 1830. In 1849, at age nineteen, Sarah married Anderson McFarland, who grew up on the William McFarland farm, two miles to the south on the other side of Dry Run Creek in Coitsville. The young couple first lived on the Hazelton road near his father Willi am's farm, where they began their family. They lived in this area for at least the next ten years and, with many of their neighbors, attended the nearby Methodist Episcopal church on the Youngstown-New Bedford (PA) road where the Poland road inter sects it (*1 p 170). By 1870 they had moved to a larger farmstead two miles east, just to the north side of Coitsville center near the Bissels and McGeehans (see 1870's Coitsville map). Here, on their large farm of 190 acres, they remained at least until 1882 when Wil liams writes of them and their children in the History of Trumbull and Mahoning Counties (*1 p 175). They had nine children, with two dying young. In 1877 (1897?) Sarah (Kirk)McFarland presented her husband Anderson's family bible to her oldest son, William Kirk McFarlin (along with a small, ca 1875 photo of her brother, Thomas Kirk) (*2). time.

Photocopies of the vital records pages in that bible, plus copies of other vital record notes were given to Peter F McFarlin in 1974, by his uncle, Charles Kirk McFarlin, in Short Hills, New Jersey, who had the bible and notes in his po ssession at that
