Harriet Hord Davidson ? b. 1804? a Quaker from Texas? ... they had 6 children ... here I need help to find more details ; go back further ... I would appreciate any guidance ... I have a wonderful old photo of the Ferguson Old Home Place (1910?) in Coffee County, TN w/ 30+ Fergusons ; Davis's ; Hornadays standing out front. It is in the book ... Warm regards, Barrie

Absolutely Sandy, I'd be honored! Feel Free to use whatever may be humorous or insightful from my book. I believe in sharing, ; doing genealogy has taught me a fine love of folklore ; family stories. The book was a tribute to honor my mother, Vera Elizabeth Ferguson, b. 3/3/23 at home in Hillsboro, TN; it is her photo as a teenager on the cover. Many of her recollections of growing up on the family farm in TN are sprinkled throughout the book. Happy Holidays ; much love, Barrie
