Greetings Shan,
Thank you for your very kind reply.
Since I made the posting back in November 2003 for which you replied, I did find more children for William Russell Fergason than what I listed at that time and what you have also.Now I have 10 children for William Russell FERGASON and wife Sarah Jane HARRIS, who are:
W. P. FERGSAGON born about 1851 AL
Benjamin FERGASON born about 1854 AL; wife Georgia [LNU]
Clarissa Ann FERGASON born September 28, 1856 AL; husband William Jackson CRAIG -- she died April 21, 1906 in Springtown, TX
Mary J. FERGASON born about 1859
Susan Elizabeth FERGASON born August 2, 1862, Concord, AL; husband Lyman ASH -- I have for her death February 23, 1923 in Marystown, Johnson Co, TX
Dora FERGASON born 1864 AL
Sarah "Sally" Bell FERGASON born 1867 AL
Ida FERGASON born 1870 AL
Russell FERGASON born 1874 AL
John FERGASON born 1876 AL
Do you know if these are all the children of William Russell FERGASON and Sarah Jane HARRIS?Were they all born in AL, or where?What has been the extent of your research on these FERGASON ancestors?Did the FERGASON family all migrate to Texas like the CRAIG family did?
Thank you so much for the additional data you provided especially what you have for the parents of William Russell FERGASON and Sarah Jane HARRIS. From the way you commented, I assume that these parents may be unverified but at least it points me in a new direction to search.
I see that your line is Susan Elizabeth FERGASON and Lyman ASH.How are they related to you?How are William Russell FERGASON and Sarah Jane HARRIS related to you?My (sons') line is Clarissa Ann FERGASON and William Jackson CRAIG through their son Edgar Lee CRAIG who married Emma Susan SMITH.Our descendancy is:
3rd G-Grandparents William Russell FERGASON born 1825 in SC and Sarah Jane HARRIS born 1834 in AL; 2nd G-Grandparents Clarissa Ann FERGASON born September 28, 1856 in AL and William Jackson CRAIG born January 29, 1849 Lawrence County, AL; Great Grandparents Edgar Lee CRAIG born December 31, 1874 in Lawrence Co, AL and Emily Susan SMITH born February 1878 in AL.They eventually migrated to TX about 1903 with all of their 10 children.
