(b. 1837) in the 1860 Census in Ohio Township, Beaver Co., PA. Children listed are James (age 8, William, age 6, Mary R. age 3, and Allen P, age 8 months. I can't find them again until I found William in 1900. He was married to Alwilda Eliz. Kattarar (b. 1853). William, Charles, and John all worked at the Townsend Wire Mill in Fallston. Alwilda died in 1902 from "exhaustion". My grandfather, Theodore (b. 1890) was one of their children. The other children were Sadie (Sarah) (b. 1880), Anna (b. 1886-1887, Samuel (b. 1890-91), Jenny (b. 1895-96) and Elsie (b. 1899-1900). After Alwilda died, William abandoned the children, the oldest one married and gone and the rest to fend for themselves. I cant find anything on William after the 1910 census, he had been in Fallston since 1900. AFter that, i dont know. The previously mentioned John (b. 1864) and Charles (b. 1856?) are related somehow t! o William, just not sure. I know Charles parents were Alfred and Isabella, from Pulaski Township. John McFarland was married to Minnie. Alot of my McFarlands are buried at Beaver Cemetary and Mausoleum, i found that on their site. I know Samuel , Williams father came from Ireland, Williams mother from Beaver, PA. I wonder if Sarah was Williams sister? If you any other info, I'd love to share it with you.
