William's son, Ziska John Ferrill, was my great-great-grandfather. From a copy of pages from his Bible entitled "Family Record", he lists his father as William J. Ferrill, born in Virginia (no town or county listed) on January 12, 1829. His date of death is listed as December 9, 1864.
I'm not sure how this was determined (I'll have to ask my parents), but Ziska's mother was Elizabeth D. Ballew. It appears that William was married more than once, as Ziska lists Phyleama (born April 2, 1857 in Lisbon, MO) as a half-sister and Elija L. (born May 20, 1864) as a half-brother. Ziska listed death dates for both half-siblings as unknown.
