Does the name Sarah Ferguson b. abt. 1823 d. ?  married Stephen B. Willis b.
1835 m. 1/12/1859 possibly fit in with someone.  I believe they were from
the Franklin Co., VA area.  Would appreciate any possible leads.

Do you have record of a Sarah Helms Ferguson married to Stephen B. Willis m.
1/12/1859 in Franklin, Co. VA?  I didn't see it on your list under Franklin
Co.  I am trying to find out who the parents of Sarah were.  She was my
gg-grandmother. b. abt. 1823 d. ?  Thank you.  I appreciate all the work you
do for the Ferguson's on Rootsweb.  I make several trips to Richmond a year
if there is every anything I can do for you while there, I would love to
help out.

Need help!  Does anyone know these three main Ferguson's:  Sarah Helms
Ferguson,  no first name Ferguson, and Anna Ferguson.  I am trying to find
out if these are two sisters and a brother.  They were from Franklin Co. VA.
I am trying to discover who the parents were.  These three families were
quite close from what I remember hearing in my family.  I would appreciate
any help or advice.

Thanks,
Deborah Logan-Guy

I have a good one to, I thought I was part of this Ferguson family until a
couple of weeks ago when I found out that my Sarah Helms Ferguson b. 1823 m.
Stephen Willis, both from Franklin Co. VA was actually only married to a
Ferguson (still looking for the first name of him).  I really enjoy this
list.  You all are hard working genies.  I have Fergusons in other brances
of my family, but not in my direct line.  I'm just a little miffed that I
can't be directly related.  But if it is any consolation by other surnames:
Logan, Bell, Willis, Ketron, Rosette, & Lipscomb ,etc are just as difficult.
The Ferguson's don't have the market on being that alone.  Good luck to all.
By the way if anyone runs across my Sarah Helms married to ? Ferguson, let
me know.  I think it might be an Isham Furguson, I find him married to a
Sarah on the 1850 census, Franklin Co. VA, Isham is 35, Sarah is 29.  If
anyone can confirm this for me, I would appreciate it.  Sarah's father was
Thomas Helm's.
