Judge Thomas Campbell Ferguson of Burnet, Tex., was a son of William Marion Ferguson, he a brother to Riley H. & Jasper Newton Ferguson. In a letter Thomas C. Ferguson writes that his father mentioned visiting with his mother, Mary (Cambell) Ferguson, and brothers Jasper Newton and Riley H., this while they were in Ga. This also may explain why William Marion is not seen in the 1860 census of Milam Co., Tex., although he is known to have been there prior to 1860, he was simply enroute at the time the census was taken.

Family Histories, written by Gresham Duckett, s/o Dolphus & Sarah
(Ferguson) Duckett.

This starts with a description of Dolphus Duckett and his wife
Sarah Ferguson. I will forego this and stick to family relationships
only.

"Dolphus Duckett and Sarah Ferguson were married 25 Jan 1844,
marriage recorded at Clarksville Court House. Dolphus Duckett was born
9 Dec 1821, d. 4 Jul 1884, s/o Jacob Duckett & Amy Hipps. Wife Sarah
Ferguson, b. 9 Jan 1820, d. 20 Nov 1898, was the dau. of Hugh Ferguson
and Mary Ann Higgins". In the case of Hugh Ferguson, Gresham goes
further and names his parents as, William Ferguson and Judy Wood.

Children born to Dolphus and Sarah (Ferguson) Duckett.

She also states that Lozie married and resided in Okla. See Texas Co., Okla. for Nancy (Cash) Duckett, and some of the children shown in the foregoing census. Nancy died at Epworth
Hospital, Liberal, Kan. Liberal, Kansas is but a short distance from
Tyrone, Okla., and Epworth perhaps the nearest hospital to Tyrone in
1926. These and other things in her writings make it certain that Mrs. Lane corresponded with these Duckett's in Okla.

In his works Gresham also had accounts and other data as to his
father Dolphus Duckett in Calif. In this it states that in Nov. of
1851, Dolphus Duckett and a number of relatives, including Elijah
Ferguson, his brother in law, John Duckett, his brother, also Daniel
Weaver, Slight England, Alfonso England, Eli Riley, Rev. William
Devors, William Shockley, his partner in the mining venture, Tom
Stringen, and others, embarked on the steamship Isabella at Savannah,
Ga., landing at Havana, Cuba three days after the rebellion in which
Narciso Lopez led his insurection and met his death.

GA-50
They stopped for repairs and water, but could not go ashore until the ship was searched for weapons and other implements of war. When they were allowed to go ashore they could have no arms, not even a pen knife. All the natives were armed with sword or machete, and would use these implements to tip the hat of anyone in reach, then draw the blade across the neck of each, telling them if they as much as moved they would cut their head off.

From Cuba they sailed to Panama and crossed the Isthmus there. An account of them going up the river in a boat is mentioned, this of
course was the Chagres River, and those who crossed the isthmus did
boat up this river until it was no longer navigable, then they walked
the remainder of the way. It seems they were accosted by natives in a
boat coming down the river, but when they brandished pistols, the
natives seeing they were out gunned veered off, and they continued
their voyage.

The accounts in the possession of Dolphus Duckett, these from the Gold Fields of Calif., are as follows:

This about covers the receipts etc. that were in the possession
of Dolphus. There are the miners ten commandments that are included in this but I have omitted these.

In the Duckett History by Gresham Duckett, it does state that Jacob Duckett and Amy Hipps migrated in 1823 from Buncombe Co., NC to
Habersham Co., now White Co., Ga. He purchased a farm at the foot of
Skits Mountain on Mossy Creek. We find my father, Dolphus Duckett at
the age of 16, working with a construction crew on the Georgia State
Railroad near Atlanta, Georgia, as a cart driver in order to pay a
security debt obligated on a promissory note by his father, Jacob
Duckett.

Gresham states that after all his expenses for his mining
adventure his father had two thousand dollars in gold and several
hundred in silver. He brought this gold dust back in what was known as a gold dust jacket, which was worn beneath the shirt. He returned to Ga, in August of 1854. The farm he bought on Yahoola Creek, near
Dahlonega, in Lumpkin Co., Ga. was sold in May 1868, and he bought a
farm at Hollingsworth, Banks Co., Ga. This plantation consisted of
nine hundred and sixty acres. Gresham Duckett now owns the old home
place, it is bounded on the west by the Hudson River, and the Mountain Creek flows through the center of the farm. Elijah and Seaborn, sons of Dolphus Duckett, own the balance of this property.

During the Confederate War Dolphus Duckett served with the State
Troops under Governor Joseph E. Brown. He was commissioned as a first
Leutenant and served from January 1862. He was discharged from the
regular army as a private.

The Georgia State Railroad being short of fuel for wood burning
engines, he with two other soldiers, and his neighbors at the time,
William Gerrin and John Abercrombie, volunteered to chop wood for ten
months, serving as though they were in camp. Here again we see our
father chopping wood for the same railroad he helped to construct
when he was a lad of 16.

GA-53
The last year of the war records show that he was released from
his Army service in camp, and was sent home to serve as blacksmith for the wives and widows of the soldiers in his home section. Not being a professional blacksmith he received no pay for this, he was to work free of charge, receiving the same allowances as if he were at camp, and subject to recall.

It appears that Dolphus journeyed overland on his return frpm Calif., this as he stated he had been in 13 states, Indian Territory, Cuba and Panama. This would infer that he came back through the Indian Territory of Okla. on his return.

On 26 April 1905, John Duckett of Raleigh, NC, wrote a letter in
response to an earlier letter written him by a Dr. P.Y. Duckett of
Wichita Falls, Tex. After examination of this and other data shown in
this book, this Dr. P.Y. Duckett has to be Pierce Young Duckett, born
29 May 1862, son of Dolphus Duckett and Sarah Ferguson. See the
foregoing history by Gresham Duckett, brother to this Pierce Young
Duckett.

What is of great interest in this is that this John Duckett did
have some knowledge as to the family of Dolphus and Sarah Duckett, and in this letter he states that Dolphus Duckett married Sarah Ferguson, she a dau. of Major Ferguson. The fact that he refers to Hugh Ferguson as Major Ferguson is significant in that it supports the Lawrence Co., Mo. History, this found in the Mo. section of this book. In this history, subject of same being Lewis C. Ferguson son of Hugh Ferguson and his second wife Mary A. Garrin, Lewis C. states that his father was commonly known as Major Ferguson. Lewis C. Ferguson names Champ, Edward, James, John, Andrew, Belfield, Elijah and Elizabeth, who married Lewis Wright, as siblings to his father.

While William and Juda (Wood) Ferguson did have the named
children, they also had a son Henry Wood, a son William, a son Ellis,
and a dau. who married a Davis, she the mother of James S. Davis who
is named by Juda (Wood) Ferguson as a grandson, this in her pension
data. The problem with this history is that Lewis C. Ferguson gives
Henry as the name of his father, and while he gives William Ferguson
as his grandfather, he shows Mae A. Wood as the wife of this William
Ferguson, and we know her name to have been Juda Wood, a dau. of
Belfield Wood. In some other data I have, this showing no
documentation however, it shows M.A. as a dau. of William Ferguson and Juda Wood.

Information obtained from Johna Goade,a descendant of Lewis C. Ferguson, said information obtained after the foregoing and following was written shows that a son of Lewis C. Ferguson was the informant for the History of Lawrence Co., Mo.

GA-54
If we review the data we have on this Lewis C. Ferguson, I think
we can make at least some educated guesses as to why some errors and
omissions occur in this history. First note that this Lewis C.
Ferguson was born in 1849, and that his father Hugh Ferguson died in
1862, Lewis C. being no more than 13 years of age at this time. Note
also that Hugh Ferguson, father of this Lewis C., was commonly known
as Major Ferguson. I think with this we can see that in probability
Lewis C. had never heard his father addressed by his given name, being addressed as either father, papa etc., or Major. I think much the same would have applied to his grandmother Juda (Wood) Ferguson, knowing her as Granny etc. We do see that this Lewis C. Ferguson did know something of the family of William and Juda (Wood) Ferguson, this as he correctly names eight of the thirteen of their children, this providing one allows Champa to have been Champion, and Belfine to have been Belfield. We also note that all of those not named by Lewis C. Ferguson had died prior to 1850, this save William, who is in the 1860 census of Sebastian Co., Ark.

In the foregoing records written by Gresham Duckett we find the
data given to fit with census reports, recorded marriages, and other
records of a documentary nature. We also see that Gresham and others
mentioned were in a position to have accurate information, this as by
his recordings we see that Gresham's mother Sarah resided with him
following the death of her husband Dolphus, so Gresham would certainly have been privy to any family information possessed by his mother Sarah.

We also note that Sarah was born in 1820 and married in 1844, and also note by the 1840 census of Habersham Co., Ga., also by the age of children of Hugh Ferguson and his first wife, that Mary Ann
(Higgins) Ferguson lived until sometime in the 1840's, thus assuring
us that Sarah knew her mother, and therefore would have been given the family information from her. We also see in the 1850 census of
Habersham Co., Ga. that Dolphus and Sarah Duckett were residing next
door to Juda Ferguson, this the widow of William Ferguson.

I have a copy of the works of Mrs. Lester Lane. In this is a
great deal that was taken from the records kept by Gresham Duckett,
and you will see most of this in the foregoing. I have abstracted in
places, but left all things of a genealogical nature intact. Letters
written In 1939 by a Josephine Moore Staton of Clermont, Ga., are a
part of this genealogical study, however there are some things we see
in these that can be proven in error. Josephine Moore was a dau. of
Milton Moore and Mary Ann Ferguson, she a dau. of Hugh Ferguson and
Mary Ann Higgins. Josephine Moore married Tom Staton, and they had
children Guy, Mollie and Ferd, according to a niece of this Josephine
(Moore) Staton.

GA-55
In the letter written by Josephine Moore Staton it states. Our great grandfather was William or Billie Ferguson, who married Judy Wood. She names as children of William and Juda, Henry, Edward, Louis, Elijah, Ellis, Champion, Ely, Riley, Elizabeth and Andrew. Three of these are in error, these Louis, Riley and Ely. Riley Ferguson was a son of James Hamilton Ferguson, who is omitted as a son of William and Juda, John is also omitted, as is William H. Ferguson, and of course Hugh Ferguson is omitted in this, and that is a puzzle as to why. She does state that William Ferguson had 11 sons, and that is true.

The niece to Josephine Staton was Myrtle, a grand dau. of Kimsey
Staton who had a dau. Zora, who was Myrtle's mother. Kimsey Staton was a brother to Tom Staton. Kimsey Staton is reported to have married a Ferguson, but they don't know how or if she was related to Hugh Ferguson, they can't recall her given name. This information from Mrs. Willette Dalton, grand dau. of Gresham Duckett. See Kimsey Staton mentioned in the chronicles of Horatio Hennion.

This is the first time outside my own research that I have found
Henry, whose full name was Henry Wood Ferguson, and also Ellis
Ferguson, listed as sons of William and Juda, and we can show them to
have been sons. In addition there was a dau. who married a Davis. This dau. can be seen in the 1810 census of SC, as well as the 1820 Ky. census, and she is also indicated in the pension deposition of Juda (Wood) Ferguson, where she names a J.S. Davis as a grandson.

In another letter written by Josephine Staton, same year and
city, it starts with: My dear cousins, Mary and Alice. (Mary is Mary
Cash, who married Lester Lane; Alice is Missouri Alice, dau. of
Dolphus Duckett and Sarah Ferguson, this Missouri Alice married Albert Cash, half brother to Mary Cash. Mary Cash was raised by Albert and Missouri Alice Cash). In this letter she refers to Young having lost an eye. Here she must be referring to Young Duckett, son of Gresham Duckett, although I have never heard about this Young Duckett losing an eye. she also states that she had a letter from Mark, saying that Ruth was married on the 26th, and as the letter is dated 3/9/1939, this must have been the 26th of Aug 1939. She also says in this letter that Mark wrote that uncle Tom Allen was in bad shape, and says she feels sorry for Nellie, who was apparently Tom Allen's wife. she then tells what she knows about the Duckett's, and says the old folks were Jacob and Amy (Hipps) Duckett. She states she knew of 5 boys and three girls, and states she never knew of the one they had mentioned, this Sarah Glaspy. She writes, Joe Sirah, who married ________ Higgins, was our mothers first cousin; David married Sarah Elliet (Elliott); Hamilton, I never knew who he married. (This was Alfred Hamilton Duckett, who married Malinda Brock), Dolphus, you know who he married. The girls were, Rachel, she married uncle Champ Ferguson, our grandfathers brother, Fine married Riley Ferguson, our mothers first cousin.
GA-56
She states that Rachel went to Ark., and that Fine went west.
(When she refers to Fine she refers to Josephine Duckett, who married
Riley H. Ferguson, son of James Hamilton Ferguson, I imagine this
should have been spelled Phine, and was a nickname for Josephine. She
also mentions Thietho, who married Carey Cox, and we know that Talitha Duckett married Carey Cox). She also states that Ab Cox was the father. (Riley Ferguson remarried and removed to Ala. After 1870, Josephine died before 1870, see the 1870 Hall Co., Ga. census, home of Riley H. Ferguson. We of course know that Rachel (Duckett) Ferguson did indeed go to Ark. See Fulton Co., Ark.) The father of Carey Cox was William Cox, not Ab Cox.

I do not know of a Joe Sirah Duckett, son of Jacob and Amy
Duckett, and think this may be John Duckett, who married C. Sarah
Higgins in Habersham Co., Ga. This of course would be that John
Duckett who went to the Calif. Gold Field with his brother Dolphus
Duckett. We also see this John Duckett as co-admn. for the estate of
Alfred Hamilton Duckett, this in 1860. If this be true, then by this
letter it would indicate that C. Sarah Higgins was a sister to the
Mary Ann Higgins who married Hugh Ferguson, and as Josephine Staton in this letter refers to Riley H. Ferguson as our mothers first cousin, her mother would have to be related to the line of William and Juda (Wood) Ferguson in some way. Willette Dalton informs me that Josephine (Moore) Staton was a dau. of Milton Moore and Mary Ann Ferguson, Mary Ann a dau. of Hugh Ferguson and his first wife, Mary Ann Higgins.
Another option is that (Joe Sirah) is Josiah, who married Nancy Ferguson, dau. of Hugh Ferguson.

Additional information gained after writing the foregoing, shows that Sarah, w/o John Duckett, was a d/o John J. Higgins, also data indicates that Jane, w/o Thomas Brock Sr., Mary Ann, w/o Hugh Ferguson, and John J. Higgins, were brother and sisters.

In the 1860 Hall Co., Ga. census we see an F. Staton, age 67,
born Va., and a wife Nancy, age 69, born SC. In this home is Mary
Ferguson, age 54, born Ky. This is the wife of James Hamilton
Ferguson, and the mother of Riley H. Ferguson. In 1870, Hall Co., Ga.
she is seen in the home of Riley H. Ferguson, and in 1880 she is in
the home of her son, John C. Ferguson, this in the Clinton Co., Ky.
census of that year. This Mary Campbell Ferguson died and is buried at Bells, Grayson Co., Tex.

From the foregoing letter by Joe or Josephine (Moore) Staton, and the relationship of this Joe/Josephine Staton, we can see that Riley H. Ferguson was her mothers first cousin, this as her mother was Mary Ann (Ferguson) Moore, who was a dau. of Hugh Ferguson, and James Hamilton Ferguson was a brother to Hugh Ferguson and the father of Riley H. Ferguson.

GA-57
Horatio Hennion wrote about leaving his birth state of New Jersey and of touring part of the country before arriving at Mossy Creek, Ga. in 1853. The following are excerpts from his chronicles. as well as data taken from notes made by the future wife of Horatio Hennion, this Margaret Jane Service. The data from these notes was compiled and printed by his dau., Alice Dixon in 1900.

An Acrostic written by Horatio Hennion, and given to Margaret Jane Service on May 25th, 1854. Read the first letters downward.

Many have sung of beauty bright,
And talked of love from morn till night,
Read, sung, and told their story,
Given up their body, soul and mind,
And wished for one of woman kind,
Ruby lips to them were glory,
Every one should e'er complain,
Til they have alas; loved in vain.

Jerusalem; what makes me hate,
And sigh and pine for cruel fate?
Not many die from broken hearts,
Each one can leave for other parts:

So when there's one you want to marry,
E'en ask her; don't you stop to tarry,
Refusing can not hurt you long,
Verily there are others, old and young,
In other places ever ready,
Couldn't say no to anybody!
Everyone then, should not cry, when their refused
when e'er they try.

The records written by Horatio Hennion and Margaret Jane
(Service) Hennion, while not exact duplicates, both show much the same as far as Habersham and White Co's., Ga. are concerned, so I will work mostly from what was written by Margaret Jane (Service) Hennion.

Horatio Hennion married Margaret Jane Service at Mossy Creek, Ga. on 29 July, 1855. Near the conclusion of Horatio Hennion's accounts he gives some relationships, these are as follows: Note: Major Hugh Ferguson lived up the creek. He had brothers Ed, Andy and Champion. They were of Revolutionary stock from Ky., and all had good fighting qualities. In the early part of the war Ed (a lawyer) moved to Kentucky. He and his home guards sent word to a secesh that they would fight them fairly. The secesh got some friends and fired on them. Ed's men retreated in the end; but Ed fought till he was shot to pieces.

In the foregoing paragraph Horatio is writing about Edward
Ferguson, who married Selina Duckett. Edward was next to the youngest
child of William Ferguson and Juda Wood. Edward is buried in a
cemetery in Clinton Co., Ky., see Ky. cemeteries in this book for him.

GA-58
When Horatio writes about Major Hugh Ferguson, he is writing
about the father of William J., John H., and Hugh Hamilton Ferguson.
Of course Hugh did not reside in Ky., but the others Horatio mentioned did. Where Horatio writes about the Secesh, he is writing about the Secessionists, or Confederates.

Ed Ferguson sold to Horatio Hennion and Hamilton Ferguson
(brother in law to H.H.'s wife), a tract of 250 acres in the gold
regions, in the year 1855. H. Ferguson and H. Hennion made a deed out
for half to a man by name of Higgins, and then Ham quit claimed the
remainder to Horatio Hennion. Major Hugh Ferguson lived up Mossy
Creek. He was the father of Hamilton, Lewis, Betty ______, ________,
and Bill. (He actually omits five more, these Vanetta and Samantha,
who along with Lewis C. Ferguson were children of Hugh and his second
wife Mary A. Garrin). The others were Nancy, Sarah, John H., Elijah and Mary Ann. Andy lived down Mossy Creek, father of Jack, Jim etc. (Andy is Andrew J. Ferguson, youngest child of William Ferguson and Juda Wood. L.L.D.) Champion Ferguson, John, Jim, Messer, Jake, Anthony, Bill. (This is in reference to some of the children of Champion, all are not named here, see my book.)

Ed Ferguson at Ironworks, father of Wayne. (This is in reference
to an iron forge run for a time by Horatio Hennion, they made iron but quit because the ore was too far away. Wayne is in reference to one of Edward Ferguson's son's.)

On 30 May 1900, Littleton, New Jersey, Alice (Hennion) Dixon,
dau. of Horatio Hennion and Margaret Jane Service, copied from her
mothers notes, and that is as follows: It was 3 April when I was
ushered into this world at London Creek, SC, and it seemed to grow
larger all the time. She tells about the various trees and other
plants in SC, and she writes about spinning and weaving, and says her
sister Eliza would weave their dresses. She writes about making
quilts, and says filling quilts fell to her lot, but she would rather
care for the chickens, geese, turkeys and peafowl, and to weave. She
states that her mother made fly brushes from the feathers of the
peacocks, they were used to brush flies away from the table, and would sell these at Coopersville for 50 cents each.

The Broad River was about a mile and a half away, and
Coopersville was built on it. We used to cross over it in a flat boat
to go to church after the bridge was swept away by a flood. She says
her father was a stone and brick mason, and that he died when she was
about nine years of age. We raised lots of cotton on the farm, also
hogs and sheep, and spun the wool from the sheep.

My brother James died about two years before father did, and not
a great while after that our house was burned to the ground. She
mentions a young slave named Joe, and said that Mary Ellen went away
and told her to stay, but she went to Uncle Robert's, but before
leaving she put a board on the fire (they apparently had a fire built
outside), and told the slave Joe not to let it go out.

GA-59
She then says that when she started for home from uncle Robert's that a cousin walked part way with her, and when she arrived at the gate she saw the house afire and ran back to her uncles, but he could only salvage a few things. Apparently the negro slave had let the fire become to large and sparks had ignited the house. That broke up our home and changed things around considerably.

We went to live with my brother Thomas, who was married to Sarah
McKown, (think that should be spelled McCown. L.L.D.), but I didn't
like that much. In 1853 my sister Eliza, who lived in Georgia, sent
for mother and myself to come and live with her, as her husband James
Gilmer (this is followed by Andrew, Andy, Gilmer in parenthesis
L.L.D.) had the gold fever and had gone to California to make his
fortune and never returned, leaving her with 4 children to struggle
with. Ma and I got ready and in the fall William Ferguson came for us
and I bid farewell to my native home for 21 years. She states that she went back to visit a few months before her mother died, but it looked so desolate and deserted. So many had gone to war and never returned.

(Mary Ellen at this time was already in Ga., perhaps going to her sister Eliza's earlier. I say this as Hugh H. Ferguson married Mary Ellen on 3 April 1853. Also the William Ferguson she refers to has to be none other than William Jasper Ferguson, elder brother to John H. and Hugh Hamilton Ferguson, and my great grandfather, this as no other Ferguson in that area of Georgia fits the required parameters. I have no idea as to why William J. Ferguson and not his brother Hugh H. Ferguson, went to SC to pick them up.)

When we moved to Georgia we moved in a covered wagon. We started
from the summer house out of Coopersville. We passed through Limestone Springs, Spartanburg, Greenville, and other places I do not remember as it was one hundred and fifty miles we had to go. We passed through Pickens, it was not a large place and I remember the court house more than anything else, we then stopped at a nice farm and bought the sweetest butter I ever ate. The woman asked where we were from, and when I told her she said she used to live there also. She asked if I knew the Guytons, and when I said I did she said that if I should go back again to tell them you saw me and that I have 13 children living. She told me her name but I have forgotten it long ago.

On the way we stopped at Tocoee Falls and had dinner by them. We
crossed two rivers, the Keowee and Tugaloo, the latter being the
dividing line between SC and Georgia. Somewhere along our way we
crossed a small brook and Bill Ferguson stopped to let the horses
drink. Something frightened them and they started to run. I was
walking up the hill ahead and as they came plunging along I caught the lines. Ferguson had fallen on the tongue and couldn't get up, and you can be sure that he was glad I stopped them when I did.

GA-60
So we traveled on until we reached Mossy Creek, and there we met
Eliza and the children. They were overjoyed at seeing us. I think it
was a year later that Horatio Hennion and his partner Mr. Jones,
bought the forge from Eliza and began making iron.

The forge was right in front of our house. It was very pretty along the creek, it flowed into the Chattahoochee River. This is where I met your father, on the banks of sweet Mossy Creek. I was strolling along with Eliza and we met him and Young Davis. They stopped to ask Eliza about the forge, then came down again to make arrangements to buy it, and when these were completed they started making iron. Thus things went on until Horatio started coming across the creek pretty often. In about a year or a little more we were foolish enough to get married.

Our first child, William Norcross, was born here, but after Horatio quit the iron business we moved to Mossy Creek Campground, called Leo, near Skitts Mountain, where he worked at his trade of making wagons. It was there our second child, Julian Wilson, was born, and in 1860 we moved to Gainsville. Horatio had all the work he could do there, and would have done well, but his partner cheated him I believe. Here our third son, Horace Victor, was born. In April 1861 the Civil War broke out, and as Horatio was a strong Union man, our troubles commenced.

Montgomery, a friend of Horatio's, told him they were going to
mob him and ride him on a rail, so he went back to Mossy Creek to my
sisters, and sent for me in about two weeks.

The balance of this has more to do with Horatio's evading the
Confederates than anything else, so from this point on I will mention
only highlights, and any relationships I run on to.

Horatio hid out at a still house with other Boys, as they termed
themselves. This was not far from their house and a pre arranged
signal was for Margaret to call their dog Rolla if the Rebs came. This happened and when she called Rolla several times her son Bill told her that Rolla was there. The Rebs asked how many dogs they had and she said two, but they had detected that this was a signal, Ratio had split however and they never found him. She mentions a niece named Ann Jane, (who must have been a dau. of Eliza, Margaret's sister). She also says the house they lived in was the Brock house, and that when she would become lonesome she would sometimes cross the creek and stay at Mr. Brock's. (This Brock was probably a descendant of Thomas Brock Sr., who was the father of Nancy Jane Brock, who married William Jasper Ferguson, elder brother to John H., Hugh H., et al. I suspect it was Thomas Brock Jr., son of Thomas Brock Sr.). Margaret Jane had been baking a lot of Indian bread when the Rebs came. Horatio was going to NC with the "Boys", and this was to take with them. When the Rebs asked why she made so much bread, she said that it was to eat, so they ate it.

GA-61
The Rebs threatened to take Margaret's baby Alice with them if
she did not tell where Horatio was. Alice was about 13 months of age
at the time and as Margaret notes that it was on 30 Jan 1863 when the
Rebs came, you can compute her approximate date of birth from that.

The Rebs did take Alice, and said they were going to drown her but she said she didn't believe that or she would have fought. They dropped her at Kim Staytons house, and he brought her back. (I think this is Kimsey Staton, brother of Tom Staton, who married Josephine Moore, she a dau. of Milton Moore and Mary Ann Ferguson, this Mary Ann a dau. of Hugh Ferguson and Mary Ann Higgins). Margaret states here that they moved into a nice house owned by Jake Ferguson, who was a Union man. Her mother lived with her there, but as Horatio was having so many problems with the Confederates he moved to NC, and was employed there in an iron forge. Due to this type of work he was exempt from conscription, and he came for Margaret with a team and wagon, moving them out at night. Margaret states this was the last time she saw her mother until she visited her in SC, this in Nov of 1874. (from this I think you can fix an approximate date for her death, this with data given earlier in this. The Jake Ferguson mentioned has to be Jacob V. Ferguson, son of Champion Ferguson, he a brother to Hugh Ferguson Sr. L.L.D.)

Margaret now mentions a dau. Florence, but gives no additional
information about her, other than to say she was a babe in arms. After the war they go by train to New Jersey, and while on the road to Morristown they meet Horatio's father. Margaret mentions a brother
John, who married Anna.

Horatio Hennion does mention leading a small group of men to free Bill O'Kelly from the log jail at Cleveland Ga. (This Bill O'Kelly was the father of Frank M. O'Kelly, who married Sarah Ann Manerva Ferguson, dau. of Champion and Rachel Ferguson.)

White Co., Ga. Grantee Deeds.
All of the following land was part of Habersham Co., Ga. until 1857.
The original Habersham Co. lots were exactly 250 acres, but in some of the following these lots may have been reduced in size. The Grantors for the original deeds for these properties would be contained in the Habersham Co., records, and many of these were destroyed. The book for all the deeds shown is apparently Book "A".

Will Of John J. Higgins.
Minutes of the Court of Ordinary, Aug Term, 1855 (pages 182-185)
Term of this court for 1856 and (tw words) letters of dismissions from said administrations at that time
July 3rd 1855 Stephen Jackson

Whereupon it is ordered that a citation do issue requiring all persons concerned to show cause if any they have by the next March term 1856 of this court, why said letters should not be presented and that said citation be published in a public gazette of this state, according to the statute.

I James H. Sampson & I Thomas Brock Jr., do solemnly swear that this now presented contains the true last will and testament of the within named John J. Higgins deceased so far as I know or believe and that I will and truly execute the same, by paying first the debts and then the legacies contained in the said will as far as his goods and chattels will thereto extend and the law charge me and that I will make a true and perfect inventory of all such goods and chattels. So help me God.
Sworn to and subscribed in,
Open court Augst 6th 1855 James H. Sampson
Thomas Brock Jr.

The last will and testament of John J. Higgins, having been proven by the oaths of James H. Sampson & Thomas Brock Jr., executers therein named and of the witness to said will in open court. It is ordered by the court that the probate of said will be considered (one word) Minutes of the Court of Ordinary August term 1855 (ficeient?) and that the same be admitted to record and that letters testamentary do issue to James H. Sampson and Thomas Brock Jr. the executors therein named and that Hugh Ferguson, Wm. Ferguson, Thos Brock Sr., Doris M. House, and John M. Dorsey, be and they are hereby appointed appraisers upon said estate.

It is obvious that the will of John J. Higgins was never recorded, and that James H. Sampson and Thomas Brock Jr. presented this will for probate to the Court of Ordinary Aug term, 1855, this after the decease of John J. Higgins.

GA-71
It should be noted that James H. Sampson married Louisa Brock, dau. of Thomas Brock Sr., that Hugh Ferguson married Mary Ann Higgins, and that the William Ferguson shown was a son of Hugh Ferguson and Mary Ann Higgins, and also that this William Ferguson married Nancy Jane Brock, dau. of Thomas and Jane Brock. While still unproven, a great amount of evidence indicates that Thomas Brock Sr. married Jane Higgins, and that this Jane Higgins, John J. Higgins, and Mary Ann Higgins, were brother and sisters, and appear to have been children of Henry Higgins.

Will of John J. Higgins | In the name of God Amen
State of Georgia |
Habersham County |
Know ye that I John J. Higgins of the state and county above written, being of weak body but of strong mind and memory, do give my body to the earth, do give my following property (viz) that is to say my earthly goods and chattels.
1st I give my lot of land number one hundred and twenty three, in the Second District of Habersham County, to my beloved wife Mary Higgins during lifetime or widowhood, also I give my sorrel mare, also I give two cows, two heifers, and two yearlings, also all the household and kitchen furniture in my dwelling house kitchen to remain my wife Mary's during widowhood or life time, also my home hogs I give my wife Mary during her life tome or

Note in the following administration that Jennings Hulsey
is shown as an heir, Jennings Hulsey married Emeline Higgins on 1 Apr 1847, Habersham Co., Ga., Emaline a dau. of John J. and Mary Higgins, therefore it appears that Emaline had died prior to this estate administration.
GA-73
Estate Administration of John J. Higgins, by Executors James H. Sampson and Thomas Brock Jr.
Administration of the estate began in 1855, this following the inventory made 6 Sept. 1855, by James H. Sampson and Thomas Brock Jr. There is nothing remarkable about the inventory, it contains the items usually seen in an inventory. It does show a book case and two shelves of books so apparently John J. Higgins was literate. The inventory also includes 1 lot of land No. 124, 2nd Dist. of Habersham, this valued at $200.00. 83 1/3 acres in the 2nd Dist. of Habersham, valued at $150.00, and 11 acres No. 145 in the second Dist. of Habersham, valued at $2.50. Over all John J. Higgins appears to have been comfortable for those years. John Anderson, B.M. Grambling, W.A. Hunt, and Thomas Amburn?, shown as collecting various amounts totaling $17.50. John Anderson later pays $13.55, and Newton Higgins $10.00. After the debts were settled, the total amount remaining in the estate was $130.38. The land was then sold, bringing $390.00, or a total of $520.38. From this sum the heirs were paid, this in the following manner:
Eli and Elizabeth Cox $22.50
George and Anna Brock $22.50
John Higgins $22.50
Jennnings Hulsey $22.50
A.J. and Jane Ferguson $22.50
Clarissa J. Higgins $22.50

The foregoing all the heirs, although additional payments are shown,these of various sums, none having a multiple that would make $22.50. These Were:
B.M. Grambling $1.00
D.M. House $1.88
Helen Bowen $5.00
Andrew Dorsey (on note) $30.70
John Duckett $170.77
Sub Total $348.57
Sale of insolvent notes .45
This same subtracted from $520.38 left a balance in the estate of $172.46, no mention of what happened to it. Recorded on 15 Aug 1857.

GA-74
Thomas Brock Jr., one of the executors of the estate of John J. Higgins, was a son of Thomas and Jane Brock Sr. James H. Sampson, he the other executor, married a dau. of Thomas & Jane Brock Sr. Undocumented information given to me regarding Thomas and Jane Brock, states that her maiden name was Higgins. Andrew J. Ferguson married Jane Higgins, dau. of John J. Higgins, and George Brock married Anna Higgins, therefore it would appear that those getting $22.50 from the estate of John J. Higgins were his direct heirs. The fact that Thomas Brock Jr. and James H. Sampson were the executors of the estate of John J. Higgins would indicate some relationship existed, and it would appear that this would be through Jane, wife of Thomas Brock Sr. In the 1850 census of Habersham Co., Ga., this Jane is seen as being 69 years of age, born SC. Eli Cox was a son of William Cox, and brother to Carey Cox.

Considering the time period of the foregoing administration, the John Duckett shown would be the John Duckett who was a son of Jacob and Amy Duckett. This John Duckett went to the Calif. gold fields with his brother Dolphus Duckett in Nov of 1851, Dolphus returned with about $3,000.00, and I think we can presume that John Duckett also returned with some amount. perhaps he loaned his father in law some, and that's what we see here. John Duckett married C. Sarah Higgins, d/o John J. Higgins.

Champion, all sons of William and Juda (Wood) Ferguson, were all

E. Griggs, Clerk of the Superior Court in said State and County, the
same being a court of record, Andrew J. Ferguson, aged 48 years, a
resident of said county and State, and a son and only surviving heir
of Judah Ferguson, who being duly sworn according to law, declares
that she is the identical Judah Ferguson who was a United States
pensioner on the roll of the Savannah Georgia Agency, as the widow of
William Ferguson, Revolutionary Soldier and whose pension certificate
was returned in in a former application to the Third Auditor's office
of the Treasury Department for what is due in this case. That she
resided since the first day of January A.D. 1861 in the county of
Habersham, state of Georgia, to the 27th day of March, 1862 which was
the day of her death. That she was loyal to the Government of the
United States during that time and was too old to follow any business
for a support in life and that her pension was last paid on the 4th
day of March, 1860 and that he, the applicant has not borne arms
against the Government of the United States or in any manner
encouraged the rebels or manifested a sympathy with their cause and as
evidence of this he left home and went to the Army of the United
States and joined a company, but said company was never mustered into
service before the surrender. This application is made for the purpose
of securing a restoration of her name to the pension rolls and of
obtaining a new pension certificate, such as she may be entitled to
under existing laws, reference being made to the evidence heretofore
filed in the Pension Office to substitute her original claim.

declaration, and they further swear that they have every reason to
believe from the appearance of this applicant and their acquaintance
with him, that he is the identical person he represents himself to be
and that he has correctly represented Judah Ferguson his mother, and
know that his statements are correct in relation to himself; and that
he left home in time of the Southern rebellion and went to the army of
the United States and was opposed to secession, was loyal to the
Government of the United States for and during the war and is now so,
and they further swear that they have no interest in the prosecution
of this claim and that Judah Ferguson died a widow.

Sir:
The case of Andrew J. Ferguson applying for what was due his
mother, Judah Ferguson, widow of Rev. soldier, at her death, seems to
lie over a long time without any action being had on it, and I can't
see any good reason for it. She was evidently a pensioner and he was
(two or three words indecipherable) man in the late rebellion in the
south and went into the State of Tennessee from Georgia and identified
himself with the United States Army and has made proof of that fact,
and I don't see why the claim is not allowed. He urges me to solicit
its allowance as soon as possible and I hope it will be done.

date of pension termination, until her death in Feb. of 1862.
Union loyalties were an issue in this and it was apparently for
this reason that Andrew attempted to distance himself from the
Confederacy.
Some conjecture exists as to Champion, son of William and Juda
Ferguson, being a Confederate soldier. See the deposition made by
Champion Ferguson in Adair Co., Ky. on behalf of his sister in law,
Selina (Duckett) Ferguson, widow of Edward Ferguson. Also note that
Champion's son Josiah Messer was a Union soldier, see this under
Calif. However years ago I was sent a page from a book, this page
containing approximatly 25 photos of the officers of a Confederate
General who compiled photos of his officers, these all from Ga., and
in these pictures is one Champion Ferguson shown in the Confederate
uniform of a Colonel.

Note also that John Franklin Ferguson, nephew of Champion Ferguson, refered to Champion as Colonel Champion. This reported by Elijah Chastain, a grandson of John Franklin Ferguson. See in Meigs Co., Tenn. data. Also note that the only other Champion Ferguson that I have found that would fit the age parameter for this is the Champ Ferguson who was a son of William R. Ferguson and Zilpha Huff, and the Capt. of Confederate Cavalry. Pictures of this Champ Ferguson and the picture shown on the mentioned page of pictures, show these Champions to be different people however. The page of pictures in question was lost during a tornado, and I have been unable to find the book from which it was taken. The page was sent to me by Wilma Fordyce, who at the time resided in Los Vegas, Nevada, so this book must reside in the library there.

I think there may be this possibility, Champion accepted the commission in the Confederate Army, this more as a delaying tactic than anything, then he escaped to Tenn. as soon as it became possible. Note that Champion's brother Edward refused a Captaincy in the Confederate Army.
