  AMOS MCFARLAND/MCFARLIN (1813 to 1880) (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, updated Oct 2018) "Mr and Mrs McFarland were the parents of twelve children, six boys an d six girls. Amos, the oldest, lives with his mother on the old place. "(*1 Edwards, 1878). In the sketch written in 1881-1882 for Elizabeth Loveland (*2 p 165) , Williams wrote, "...Elizabeth became the mother of six sons and si x daughters." She and husband William "...reared a large family. Eleve n children arrived at years of maturit y. But one son, Anderson, is liv ing at Coitsville. Four of his daughters are living, viz: Mrs Lydia Ma han, Liberty, Trumbull county; Miss Jemima McFarlin, Niles; Mrs Matild a Price, Coitsville, and Mrs Lavina Harris, Youngstown..." (*2 p 168). Amos McFarlin (as the last name was being spelled in this branch of th e family in the 1880's), was the oldest child of William and Elizabet h (Loveland) McFarland, and likely named after her father, Amos Lovela nd. Amos was born February 10 181 2 in Coitsville, lived at home with h is mother all his life, and never married. In both 1860 and 1870, he i s found with his widowed mother Elizabeth, but has no occupation and i s identified; 'idiotic'. His ages given in the decennial censuses a r e all different (within five years). In 1880, Amos ("age 67") and his mother, Elizabeth (Loveland) McFarlan d (age 89), were living with his sister Lavina (McFarland) Harris an d her husband, Hamilton Harris in Youngstown, Ohio. Amos and Elizabeth 's names in that census are spelle d McFarlin. His date of birth (February 10, 1813 - not 1812) and death (June 28, 1 880) can be found in the Pioneer Methodist Cemetery, Coitsville. Ohio . Here, his last name was again spelled McFarlin.
