Married
Susan
Daughter of
Born 1832
Died July 16 1894
Children:
James Boyd McLoughan 1851–1931
George W McCloughan 1857–1857
Rachel Elizabeth McCloughan 1858–1881
Mary C McCloughan 1860–1868
There is an Elizabeth McCloughan age 3 in the 1860 census. I suspect Rachel's middle name might be Elizabeth? The girls seem to flip between their first and middle names in the census. In 1870 there is a Maria L. McLoughlan age 17 (1853) - that would be Louisa,who is age 7 in the 1860 census.

On Emma's Marriage certificate his name is listed as Asher! Everywhere else it is listed as Ishi.. Is Ishi possibly a nickname for Asher?
Possibly the son of Samuel B. McLoughland and Mary Blackford
1832 Birth Of Susan Salter
Find A Grave record lists her maiden name as Salter, but her son, James Boyd Mclaughan's death certificate lists her name as Sussan Miller.
"I have Meiser's Vol. II in my hands: Ishi's wife is listed as Susan (SALTER) 2/1/1832-8/16/1894. Among those identified as their kids are James B. m. Celestial E. (PERSING), Louisa, George W., Rachel E., and Mary C. Listed as James B. & Celestia's child is Percy who m. Mary E. (MOORE).
One man was six years older than Ishi so may be a brother: William McCLOUGHAN 1804-1866 m. Lydia (___), who had Samuel B. m. to Amelia (KEEFER); and Charles P., m. to Jennie H. (METTLER).
The "other" Susan O. (McCLOUGHAN) listed lived 1871-1965, and m. William F. SALTER 1863-1936. (No other SALTERs at this cem.) The only McCLOUGHANs not already named are John 8/23/1828-9/18/1895, J. Marshall 6/16/1858-7/14/1901, Anna O. 1866-1867, and S. Hudson 1877-1907 who m. Rose (FINNEGAN)."
1835-36 Fought in the War For Texas Independence
Ishi age 25-26
This card is for Ishi born 1810 - it is NOT for revolutionary war service. There is a GAR marker on his stone, but I do not know that he fought in the civil war. The inscription under his name reads "Soldier For Texas Independence". I do not know why this card lists his date of service as 1780 - he is the only Ishi McLoughan in this cemetery.
I can find no record of him here - https://www.tsl.texas.gov/apps/arc/repclaims/
"Very few of the 189 men at the Alamo were actually natives of Texas. A great number of them were from Southern states, such as Tennessee, Kentucky and the Carolinas. At least 32, in fact, came from Tennessee. Some northerners from Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York also stood their ground in the mission. But Europeans were also well represented. At least ten of the patriots were natives of England, and another 11 were from Ireland, a country that knew well the struggle for liberty against oppression. Of the thirty-plus Europeans, some also came from Germany, Denmark, Scotland and Wales.
At the time of the battle, as many as eighty of the Alamo defenders were actually documented residents of Texas, but others had traveled to the fort from various states, volunteering their services for the revolution. Of the estimated 189 men who died in the Alamo, only six were actually born in Texas:"

Samuel McCloughan
Born 1780
Marriage Records of Hunterdon County, New Jersey, 1795-1875
McCloughan, Samuel and Mary Blackwell (not Blackford), Mar. 41802, (-1-62) (docket 2)(Egbert J.P.)

"This farm has been the birthplace of a number of generations of Keefers, among whom were William, David, Eliza (wife of Joseph Wolverton), Benjamin F., Charles and Joseph, all of whom are deceased, and surviving are Mrs. George W. Stroh, of Sunbury; Amelia McCloughan, of Rushtown; Peter Keefer, of Danville, and Jacob, who now owns and occupies the old homestead. The fourth generation is living in the house, which was built by Christopher Reed, who bought the land at sheriff sale in 1789, making it one of the oldest houses in this section of country."
"John Keefer, one of the sons of Peter Keefer, who came from Berks county,
was born in Berks county in 1801, and died Aug. 7, 1882, aged eighty years, nine months, two days. By his first wife, Mary (Martz), who died young, he had two children, David and William. His second wife, Susan (Martz), a sister of the first, died July 7, 1875, aged sixty-six years. To this union were born children as follows: Eliza, who married Joseph Wolverton, of Snydertown; Sarah, Mrs. George W. Stroh; Benjamin F.; Jacob J.; Amelia, wife of Samuel McCloughan, of Rushtown; Charles, of Sunbury; Joseph, of Sunbury; and Peter, of Danville, Pa. Jacob J. and Peter are now (1911) the only survivors. "

============================================================================
I visited Rush Presbyterian Cemetery. The McLoughan stones are all close together, with Louisa Forney & her 3 year old daughter Sarah near Louisa's father, Ishi. (her husband Sam Forney is buried in Mt Vernon Cemetery, Riverside PA. (there is record of Samuel remarrying after Louisa died.)
The first row in this photo is Samuel & Amelia (Keefer) McCloughan family. Samuel was born in 1833 and my guess is that he may be the nephew of Ishi McCloughan. Ishi's stone, and his family, is the tall one in the center of this photo. Two rows back, almost directly behind Samuel's stone in this photo,is the stone for James Boyd McCloughan, Ishi's son. Although I did not see the stone when I was there, find a grave lists William McCloughan, 1804-1866 & his wife Lydia buried here. I suspect William and Lydia are the parents of Samuel & that William was the brother of Ishi. But that's all speculation at this time.
============================================================
1820
In 1820, the first census of Rush Township Northumberland County was taken.Among the "pioneers" of this township,according to Bell's history, is "Samuel
McLanghlin", which could actually be a McCloughan. There is no Ishi.
Wesley Bowman Fairchild - "He is now farming in Rush township Northumberland county He married Alice Salter daughter of Michael Salter who was born in New England and Lucy Gillinger Salter of Northumberland county Michael was a soldier in the Union army and was wounded while in the service "
