    • HENRY MCFARLIN (ca1822 - 1870) Indiana Justice of the peace
      (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - June 2019)

      Henry McFarlin, son of Andrew and Jane (Dug? Day?) McFarland/McFarli
      n moved from Coitsville, Ohio to Indiana with his parents and sibling s about 1845.
      In 1860 Henry was a justice of the peace in Plymouth, Indiana living w ith his widow mother Jane (Dug? Day?) McFarlin, and sister Mary A Mc F a 28 (she married in 1860), and sister Elvira McF a 25 (she marrie d in 1867).
      Henry was cutting trees for logs on Jan 27th of 1870 with other men an d was killed by a tree falling against another which hit his head. Hi s mother Jane (Dug? Day?) McFarlin presented a claim on his estate fo r payment of an 1860 debt of $85 plu
      s 2% interest. She had loaned hi m the money (gold) to pay off a mortgage on land he owned. This woma n was most likely his mother and not his sister Jane (McFarlin) Metcal f who had married in 1847. Henry's sister Elvira McDuffie was asminist rat rix of his estate.
      Henry McFarlin was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery in Plymouth, Indiana. H e apparently did not marry or have children.
