All the above are gone to the great beyond and no where to get info. sure hope someone out there can make a connection. Mable Ferguson, once told me they were from Howellton, Ala. ?? where ever that is , I can't find it and that James was the only son in a family of 9 children. His father was a wealthy plantation owner who willed all he owned to his daughters and his slaves. Hoping for some help.
