Joyce (Furgerson) Wilson Tue Sep 16 05:51:12 1997 Am searching for information on my ggrandparents, John Wesley FURGERSON (FERGUSON, FURGUSON, FERGERSON, ETC.) AND Mahuldia (BRUCE) FURGERSON. According to my information, they were both born in Tennessee, as were their parents. They were apparently living in Tennessee at the birth of their first child, Nancy Jane FURGERSON IN 1840. Their 4th child, John Wesley FURGERSON, JR. was born there in 1851. Between then and 1854 they moved to Hopkins County, KY where their 5th child was born, and they lived in that area until their deaths in 1895 and 1901. Census records indicate that there were Fergusons living in Carroll County in 1830 and 1840. I am wondering whether our John might have been born in that area. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

RILEY of Mecklenburgh Co NC and the sons of John RILEY, Revolutionary War Vet from PA. The family moved to NC between 1779 and 1784; all the children (except for John maybe) were born in NC. Sometime after their father's death in 1811 John, Armstrong, and their mother moved to TN; this was prior to 1820 as far as I can tell. The brothers show up in the Carroll Co TN records but I haven't been able to find any thing more. The mothers name was Sarah Hair (not her maiden name as she was a widow when she married John Sr.) and she died in the summer of 1846. According to Rev. Pension files both brothers had died prior to 1854. I would be pleased to swap information on this line. Chris RILEY griley@ctc.net
