• Notes

  Death Rachael died of consumption. She was "Collier" by trade,(Charcoal Burner). Census 1850 Walton Co list birth in Georgia, but no comfirmation. Many Ferguson's lived in Abbeville Co. SC, and still do, but no info on Rachael found. (Research):Note: A James Ferguson was living in Walton, Georgia near the Shelnutts and the Ragans in the Tax Digiests of 1831 and is found in the 1830, not the 1840 census.Possible younger brother. Seeking death date/location of my 3 great grandfather James Ferguson.Facts that I have: 1. James Ferguson was born about 1800 in Edgefield District, SC 2. Married Martha Henrietta Christmas,born abt. 1802, no date of marriage, but lilkely also in Edgefield District. 3. Moved to Walton County Ga in about 1826, Talbot County georgia in about 1834, and then to Muscogee Co. Ga sometimes before 1850. (Based on children's birth locations) 4. Children were Mary abt. 1826, Nathaniel Christmas abt. 1827, Emily Virginia born Jan. 9, 1831, Elijah b. 1833, Charles B. born abt. 1835, and Susan A. born abt. 1837. 5. James, Martha, and family are found in Muscogee Co. in 1850 and 1860. 6. After extensive searching, I have concluded that they have vanished in 1870. 7. Martha is found as a widow, and enumerated with her daughter Mary Jenkins in the Catula Twp, in neighboring Harris County in 1880. 8. I also have an unsubstatuated date of death for Martha of March 30, 1881. Does anyone have any information that would help me determine the fate of James Ferguson? Thanks, Jimmy McLane My Ferguson family are from SC and are North Georgia potters. The Joseph that I am interested in was married to Elizabeth Halloway.I don't find a Green listed in my GA generations. James is my GGGrandfather, Charles H. Ferguson's brother. I wish I could help you with what your looking for. I would like to know myself. Do you have any information on his parents? I beleve their father to have been Joseph born about 1765 but this is not confirmed. Do you have any info on their brother John G. or any other siblings? Also I have all of James' children you listed except Mary, can you tell me more about her. I will gladly share anything I have if it will help you.
