• Notes

  From "Mount Delight" by John M. McDowell (her son) 1910 p. 83 JANE COCHRAN McFARLAND, daughter of Captain John and Eliza McFarland, was born at Mount Delight, July 23, 1813, and died March 20, 1893. She married William H. McDowell (born Feb. 13, 1813; died March 23, 1900), a young farmer of Peters Township, at foot of Mount Parnell, where they lived until the spring of 1856, when owing to the poor health of Mr. McDowell, they moved to Chambersburg, where they spent the balance of their lives. When Chambersburg was burned by the rebels, under General McCausland, July 30th, 1864, they were burned out of house and home and all their effects. Mrs. McDowell was a bright, handsome woman, a great reader, more than ordinarily intelligent, a good conversational- ist and the light and cheer of her home. As another has well said : "She had long professed her faith in the Son of God and had walked worthy of her calling. Intelligent with an air of quiet dignity and reserve, with much force of character, true, gracious, rallying by her motherly ways those of her household; patient, submissive under many a heavy trial, she had lived long and followed her Lord long. She follows Him still." Mr. and Mrs. McDowell had nine children, four dying in early childhood, and a daughter. Miss Elizabeth P., in 1902. Four survive them, two. John M. and Annie C, living in Chambersburg, Pa. ; Thomas H., the oldest, in Dayton, Ohio, and Henry C, in Cambria, Weston County, Wyoming. They were both members of the Falling Spring Presbyterian Church. Chambersburg, Pa., for over forty years.
