Ferguson Information from a descendant of Lewis C. Ferguson states that Mary A. (Garrin) Ferguson is buried adjacent to Lewis C. Ferguson, has a stone but no inscription. MO-7 1917 Publication of the Lawrence Co., Mo. History. In many respects this history is amazingly correct, there are some errors that are easily recognized, making it of interest in its entirety, this despite the errors seen. L.C. Ferguson died in 1918, his wife Nancy in 1919, both are buried in the Cox Cemetery, located just out of Monett, Mo., on the road leading to Pierce City, Lawrence Co., Mo., and therefore at least a major portion of the history came from him, Johna Goade, a descendant of Lewis C. says the information was given by a son of Lewis C. Ferguson. One should consider that some 60 years had elapsed between the time Lewis C. Ferguson saw or heard of some that are mentioned, and the date this history was recorded. While this history is printed here exactly as seen in the book, I will show the errors by underlining the individual in question and will follow this by explanations that are in parenthesis or italics. L.C. Ferguson, one of the well known citizens of Pierce City, a man of the old south, the home of hospitality and chivalry, is L.C. Ferguson, who was born in White County, Georgia, 15 Mar 1849 (He was born in Habersham Co., Ga., White Co., Ga. being cut from that part of Habersham in 1857) He was reared on a farm and received his early education in subscription schools. His parents were Henry (Hugh, as can be seen in the Ga, census reports) and Mary A. (Garrin) Ferguson. The father was a native of South Carolina, and was of Scotch ancestry. His father William was but a boy when the Revolutionary War broke out, but at the age of sixteen he enlisted in the Army and served the last three years of that great struggle. After the War he migrated into Kentucky (As I have shown earlier, by the deposition of this William he moved several places before arriving in Cumberland Co., Ky.) where he married May A.Wood. (It was Juda, as is shown in both William's deposition and the Greene Co., Tenn. marriage records. We also see in her deposition for a widows pension that her name is Juda, and also in the 1860 White Co., Ga. census) She was also a native of Carolina, but it was North Carolina. They had children as follows, Champa (Champion), Edward, James, Belfine (Belfield), Elijah, Andrew, Elizabeth who became Mrs. Louis Wright, and Henry (Hugh), the father of our subject, who later went to Georgia. He joined the Georgia State Militia and became a Major in the army. Hence he was generally known as and called "Major Ferguson". He was married twice. The children by his first wife were William; John; Elijah; Sallie; who became Mrs. Adolphus Duckett, Nancy, married Josiah Duckett, Polly A. who became Mrs. Milton Moore and Elizabeth who married Martin Jones. MO-8 William is William J., who married Nancy Jane Brock, d/o Thomas Brock, John is John H., who married his cousin Martha Wright, see Clinton Co., Ky. & Rhea Co., Tenn. He also had a son Hugh H., who married Mary Ellen Service. This Hugh H. Ferguson has two children of Josiah Duckett and Nancy Ferguson in his home in 1860, White Co., Ga. Nancy died prior to 1850 and Josiah remarried, then he died c 1854. One of the children in question was Jane Duckett, and she married James Elijah Ferguson, he a son of William Ferguson and Nancy Jane Brock shown above. See 1870 and later census reports of Sebastian Co., Ark. William W. Ferguson is one of the sons of William and Juda (Wood) Ferguson who is not named in this history, probably the result of a confusion in William's as there were several. See the 1850 census of Morgan Co., Mo., the 1860 census of Sebastian Co., Ark., also deeds in Morgan Co., Mo., and the 1800 & 1810 census of the Pendleton Dist. SC. Also see the census reports of Cumberland Co., Ky., and the court orders in that county. The children by the second marriage were L.C.; Vinetta (Vanetta), now Mrs. Milligan Cox, Samantha C., now wife of James Stewart and John M. The father died in 1862, the mother died in 1914, having reached the age of almost 88 years. (The John M. Ferguson shown here could not have been a son of Hugh Ferguson, this as Hugh died in 1862 and this is apparently the John shown as age 1, this in the home of Mary A. (Garrin) Ferguson in the 1870 White Co., Ga. census. In 1880 this John Ferguson is in the home of Mary (Garrin) Ferguson, age 12, shown as son, therefore this John has to be an illegitimate son of Mary's). The rest of this history has to do with the children and wife of L.C. Ferguson so I wont go into it further. Omitted from this history are three children of William and Juda. One was Ellis who died at about 21 or 22 years of age in Hempstead Co., Ark. This the result of a bite by a rabid panther. There was also a William & a daughter who married a Davis, this can be seen in a deposition made by Judah regarding the Revolutionary pension of her husband William Ferguson. In this she refers to grandson J.S. Davis. What is of significance is that the majority of children of William and Juda are shown in this history. In some way there is an error and Henry is shown as the father of L.C. Ferguson. This has to be Henry Wood Ferguson, a brother to Hugh Ferguson who was the father of L.C. Ferguson. This can be determined beyond any doubts by the examination of the Habersham and White Co., Ga. records. I might also note that the shown children were determined to be children of William and Judah long before I had a copy of this history. MO-10 In large part I have confined the information in this book to documents themselves. In this History of Lawrence Co., Mo. I would like to indicate the mathematical possibilities of there being this many children of William and Judah being named by chance, add to this the names Belfield, who they call Belfine, and Champa, who was Champion and usually called Champ. One should also consider that both L.C. Ferguson and his mother Mary A. (Garrin) Ferguson resided in the same home as Judah (Wood) Ferguson, widow of the Rev. War soldier William Ferguson, from sometime in the 1850's until the death of Judah in Feb. of 1862. This would have made them both privy to any lineages given by Judah (Wood) Ferguson. See the 1850 and 1860 census reports of Habersham and White Co's., Ga. Also see the family history written by Gresham Duckett, son of Dolphus and Sarah, this Sarah the one named in the foregoing history as a dau. of Hugh by his first marriage. In this it names Hugh Ferguson & Mary Ann Higgins as the parents of Sarah, and goes beyond this to name William Ferguson & Judy Wood as the parents of Hugh. Also note that Dolphus & Sarah Duckett reside next door to Judah (Wood) Ferguson in the 1850 Habersham Co., Ga. census. This I think insures that Sarah would have known of the family history back to and including William and Judah (Wood) Ferguson. We also note in a letter written in 1905 to a Dr. P.Y. Duckett, (Pierce Young, s/o Dolphus) that the wife of Dolphus Duckett was Sarah Ferguson, she a dau. of Major Ferguson. This assures us that as given in the foregoing history, Hugh Ferguson was indeed known as Major Ferguson, and considering that Hugh died in 1862, Lewis C. being only about age 13 at the time, it is I think possible that he had never heard his father addressed by his given name, and this I think explains the problem we see in the foregoing history. Deed Morgan Co., Mo. (abstracted) 8 Mar. 1837 Indenture between William W. Ferguson of Morgan County, State of Missouri, and Joseph Meador, late of the County and State aforesaid. William W. Ferguson and Jemima his wife, in consideration of $175.00 prompt payment, and by note to me paid by the said Joseph Meador, do deed in form and law a certain tract of land in Morgan County, State of Missouri, said land in the South East Quarter of the North East Quarter of Section 18, Twp. 42, North of the Baseline and West of the 5th principal Meridian, Range 17, containing 40 acres, said land granted to William Ferguson by the Receivers receipt 13390, bearing date 28 Nov. 1836.

Also see the Cumberland Co., Ky. court orders where William, Belfield and John Ferguson are cited to keep the peace. Note that this William W. Ferguson was born about 1794 SC, and that he has Ky. connections in the birth state for children. MO-11 Deed Morgan Co., Mo. (abstracted) 10 Oct. 1837 Indenture between William W.

(abstracted) 21 Dec. 1839 Indenture between Henry W. Ferguson and his wife Elizabeth, of Morgan Co., Missouri of the one part, and P.S.E. Williamson of the County and State aforesaid of the other part, that the said Henry W. Ferguson & his wife Elizabeth, for & in consideration of $400.00 in hand paid by said P.E. Williamson, hath bargained, sold etc. to P.E. Williamson, a parcel of land in the County and State aforesaid, said land in the North East Quarter of the South East Quarter of Section 71, Twp. North 42, North of the Baseline and West of the 5th principal Meridian, Range 17, containing 40 acres, dated 14 Oct. 1836, No. 12616 the other entry being the North West Quarter of the South East Quarter of Section 21 and Twp.

Ferguson, his wife Elizabeth makes her mark. This is Henry Wood Ferguson, who removed to Marion Twp., Taney Co., Mo.by the time of the 1840 census. Marion Twp. cut off into Ozark Co., Mo. when it was formed. Henry W. then moved to Scott Co., Ark. about 1842-3. This part of Scott cut off into Logan Co. in 1870. Henry Wood Ferguson born 2 Aug. 1793, Pendleton Dist. of SC, a son of William and Judah (Wood) Ferguson. See Bat Roost Cemetery, Logan Co., Ark. for dates on Henry W. and Elizabeth Ferguson, 1880 census of Logan Co., Ark., home of son William L., for the state of birth for his father, Henry Wood Ferguson. Also note that descendants of Hugh Ferguson wrote letters in 1939, and in these named children of William Ferguson & Juda Wood, and in these they name besides others, Henry & Ellis. MO-12 Deed Morgan Co., Mo. (abstracted) 17 Jan. 1859 Indenture between James K. Willson of Morgan Co. and State of Mo. of the one part, and Belfield W. Ferguson of the same County and State of the other part, in consideration of the sum of $500.00 to the said James K. Willson in hand paid by the said Belfield W. Ferguson, James K. Willson has bargained, sold etc. to Belfield W. Ferguson, land in the county and state aforesaid, said land in the South East Quarter of the North East Quarter of Section 34 in Twp. 41 in Range 17, and also part of the South West Quarter of the North East Quarter of Section 34 in Twp 41 of Range 17. This land extended to the center of the main channel of Soap Creek, said land consisting of 34.95 acres and including appurtenances. Page 273 of I assume Bk. 11, as in 1860 Belfield Ferguson sells this and some other land he had. The price of his sold land was $400.00, although it contained more acreage than is shown in this tract, the reason apparently is the appurtenances shown in this deed, and these are not shown in the 1860 deed. See 1840, 1850 and 1860, Morgan Co., Mo. census reports, also court orders of Cumberland Co., Ky. and Wayne Co., Ky. marriage bond for Belfield Ferguson, also see the Lawrence Co., Mo. Deed Morgan Co., Mo. (abstracted) 16 March 1860, Recorded 19 Mar 1860, Bk 12, pgs 669, 670, & 671. This indenture between Belfield W. Ferguson and Quintilla his wife in the county of Morgan and the State of Missouri, parties of the first part, and Joseph H. Houser, of the County and State aforesaid, party of the second part, for and in consideration of the sum of $400.00 to the said Belfield W. Ferguson, in hand paid by the said Joseph H. Houser, the said Belfield W. Ferguson hath sold, bargained etc. a parcel of land in the county and state aforesaid, said land being in the South East Quarter of the North West Quarter of Section 34, in Twp. 41 of Range 17, containing 34.93 acres. Also land in Section 35, same Twp. and Range, containing in all 79.05 acres. This land went to the center of the main channel of what was then called Soap Creek. Dower rights relinquished by Quintilla Ferguson. Signed and sealed by B. W. Ferguson and Quintilla Ferguson. Alvin Cox b. 4 May 1877, White Co., Ga., m. Irene Brite 26 Oct. 1881, Rogers, Ark. This would indicate that Alvin Cox was probably related to Carey Cox, who married Talitha Duckett. MO-13
