• Notes

  JAMES MCFARLAND (1816 to after 1850) (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, update Oct 2018) Williams states that most of Alexander's seven sons and two daughter s "settled in this vicinity" (*1 p 168). This Jame's name and approxim ate birthdate was taken from his father's estate settlement. In March, 1833, the inventory of his father's estate states, "... Ale x, late of Poland..." and, later that, "...Goods set off to widow an d children; Sale held 16 Apr 1833... Alex of Coitsville, some of the b uyers were: Andrew, Margaret, Willia m, and Alexander McFarlane... part ial settlement, mentions cash paid to Alex. McF, Jr and Andrew McF ". Further, that; "... William McClelland appt guardian to James McF an d Samuel McF until 21 years; to Robert McF til 14 yrs; to Peggy McF ti l 12... all minor children and heirs of Alexr. McFarlane late of Coits ville. James and Samuel made their o wn choice..." (*2). In 1840 he i s apparently with his widow mother Margaret helping to run the home fa rm. In 1850 James is thirty-five and living in Coitsville still with his w idow mother Margaret McFarland and younger brother Robert. 1850 censu s noted that James could not read or write. James apparently was listed a second time at his place of work for "ir onmaster" Frederick Wilkes, in Poland, Ohio. There he is a clerk. No further information found.
