• Notes

  JEMIMA MCFARLAND (ca 1820 to after 1882) (Research by Peter Folsom McFarlin - May, 2012, reviewed Oct 2018) Jemima's father, William McFarland, (son of John), "...reared a larg e family. Eleven children arrived at years of maturity. But one son i s living, Anderson, at Coitsville. Four of his daughters are living, v iz: Mrs Lydia Mahan, Liberty, Trumbul l county; Miss Jemima McFarlin, N iles; Mrs Matilda Price, Coitsville, and Mrs Lavina Harris, Youngstown ..." (*1 p 168). In the sketch for Elizabeth Loveland (*1 p 165), Will iams wrote, "...Elizabeth became the mother of six sons and six daugh t ers." All above written in 1881-1882. Jemima McFarland, named for her grandmother, Jemima Dickenson, was bor n in Coitsville, Ohio in early 1820. She grew up at the family farm o n the Hazelton road, the fourth of twelve children. She was counted i n the 1820, 1830, and 1840 censuse s in her father's household. In 1850 , she was still a singlewoman, age thirty, living at home. I could no t locate her in the 1860 and 1870 censuses. Jemima reappeared in the 1880 census, age fifty-eight, living in the v illage of Niles, near Youngstown, with the very prominent iron manufac turing family of James Ward Jr, and occupied there as a "nurse", likel y to care for his mother; Eliza (D ithridge) Ward, age seventy. This Wa rd family is extensively written about in Williams (*1 pp 241, 246). It seems that Jemima's 1880 reported age of 58 may be a bit low, as th e earlier census data indicate her birth to be in early 1820. It appears that Jemima did not marry. I lost track of Jemima after 188 0 (PFM). Vital records are needed here.
