    • JANE (Dug/Dugan?) MCFARLAND/MCFARLIN (ca1790 to 1874)
      (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - Apr 2012, revised June, 2019)

      Jane (Dug/Dugan?) McFarland, born Pennsylvania, is only found named i
      n her marraige record of 1813. The County clerk's handwriting show s a 'D' first letter and then either a 'u' (or two 'ee's), followed b y the last letter 'g' (not 'y'). This makes her name Deeg, or Deig, o r Dug. A possible last name for Jane ma
      y have been Day, but I found n o Day families in any nearby PA or OH censuses for 1800, 1810, of 1820 . Also, in March of 1813 the same clerk entered a marraige for a Joh n Day and the name 'Day' is clearly different than 'Dug'.
      Regarding another possible maiden name for Jane, I carefully looked a t various data about Jane and Andrew's 1820 neighbor Joseph Beggs (Bag gs?) family. This might be a possible last name for Jane, if the marra ige record contained a scrivener' s error. However, I continue to choos e her family name of Dug, which may also be a scrivener's error for Du gan. There is an 1816 Trumbull co Tax Record listing both Thomas and J oseph Dugan of Hartford, Ohio, three towns to the north. In the 182 0 H artford, Ohio census, a Martha Dugan and family is listed living nex t to a Thomas McFarland family and near to a John McFarland family.
      Jane is likely enumerated in two Coitsville, Ohio censuses with her hu sband, Andrew;
      In the 1820 Coitsville, Ohio census, just after they were married, he r age is reported at 26-45, = b1775-1794.
      In the1840 Coitsville, Ohio census she appears to be born 1780-1790 (h er age = 50-60). In 1850 Plymouth, Indiana census she's reported to b e age 55 (= b1795) although this could be a scrivener's error, havin g meant 1785, not '95.
      In the 1860 Indiana census she is shown living with her Justice of th e Peace son Henry McFarlin and her two unmarried daughters; Mary A an d Elvira McFarlin. In the 1870 census for Plymouth, IN she reports he r age 87, making her birth date 1793.
      However, I chose her date of birth of 1790 due to her headstone inscri ption. This is also based on her likely age of about 23 when married t o Andrew in 1813. Also the 1820 and 1840 census data seem to fit thi s approximate age.
      A death record for a Jane McFarlane was located in Mecosta county, Mic higan. On September 18 1874, widow housekeeper Jane McFarlane died o f 'bloody flux' in Big Rapids township, Mecosta co, Michigan. This wom an's age is listed as 87 (=b ca 1787 ), born in Pennsylvania, unknown p arents or residence. This is quite likely Jane, widow of Andrew, bor n ca 1788 in Pennsylvania. Unknown why she was in Michigan. She was bu ried in the Van Gilder Cemetery of Mecosta co, Michigan and her headst o ne is inscribed as Jane McFarlin wife of Andrew McFarlin, died 18 Sep t 1874. Her daughter Elvira (McFarlin) McDuffie was also buried in Va n Gilder Cemetery (in 1891).
