Dear All,
Here are my TEXAS FergusonS.
REASON TURNER Ferguson, Sr ( son of Joseph), B. 1807, Franklin Co, VA
married SUSANNAH HARVEY, 1826. They left KY and came into TX 1846
through Indianola. They brought with them 10 children:
ELIZA ANN
MARTHA JANE
JOHN HARVEY,b 1833, KY
BERTHANIA THURMAN , b. 1837, KY ( my gggrandmother)
WILLIS HAYDEN, b. Sept 15, 1829, KY
HENRY CLAY,b. 1861
SARAH MARGARET
JOSEPH WILSON,b 1843, KY
MARY ELIZABETH, b1845, KY
REASON TURNER, b. 1847, KY
all of these children were born KY
After they landed in TX- Victoria, Refugio, DeWitt Co
They had:
SUSAN FRANCIS, b. 1-6-1848, TX
LUCY EMILY, b. April 13, 1851, TX
BERTHANIA THURMAN Ferguson remained in Dewitt Co after her marriage to
JAsper L. Gilbert in 1850.
REASON TURNER Ferguson moved the rest of the family into Limestone Co,
TX where he and his wife and children were found living(1860 census)
with
Ferguson, J. H. ( JOHN HARVEY).
I can trace Berthania and her family. I can trace WILLIS HAYDEN , who
moves to Hays Co,Tx. As well as mother SUSANNAH Ferguson, she too moves
to Wimberley, Hays Co, Tx.
I have never be able to place the rest of these FergusonS. If any one
connects- let me know.
Thanks,
Carla Hillman Ratcliff
Dear Ferguson researchers, While researching in the library last evening
found this-
TAzewell Co VA;Deed from THOMAS Ferguson &NANCY, his wife, to JOHN
WARD
being heretofore recorded as to the said THOMAS Ferguson and a
Commission issued to two of the justices of Knox Co, KY to take a
private examination of NANCY, which is being done and returned is
recorded."-1809
I am trying to trace- Berthania/ Buthena Ferguson/FURGESON, b.
1836-1837, KY. She came to TX. On her marriage license-wit was WILLIS
FURGESON. Does she relate to the above?? Or any other family that you
might know. Thanks, Carla Hillman RAtcliff
