Obidiah Pruit              11000001-0000001
Henry W. Ferguson          12311010-1013001
Hiram Pruit                20000100-000010000
Aaron Cox                  11000100-3000100
     Hiram Pruitt must have been married prior to his marriage to
Juda Ferguson, Juda Ferguson, the d/o Henry Wood Ferguson, this is
proven by the death certificate of Juda, information given by Hiram
Pruitt. It gives as father, Henry Wood Ferguson, mother as Elizabeth,
and Juda b. 1815, Hamilton Co., Tenn. One son of Hiram and Juda was
named William Henry Pruit, who m. Jemima Doolin, the elder half sister 
of Bill Doolin the outlaw. Aaron Cox's wife was named Sarah, who would 
appear to have been related to Elizabeth Neil Davis, wife of Henry Wood 
Ferguson. See children of Aaron and Sarah Cox in the home of Elizabeth 
Ferguson, Scott Co., Ark. See also the bible records of William A. Cox. 
I have a photo of Hiram Pruitt, this the one who must have been the 
informant, so he must have been a son.

Marion Twp., Taney Co., Mo. Was cut off into Ozark Co., Mo. In 1841.
