Hi Mike,

I wish I knew enough about my FERGUSONS to tell you something regarding
your connection, but my parents divorced when I was about three, and I am
only now beginning to get acquainted with my kinfolks on this side of the
family, and right now, I have a lot of blanks to fill in!

Where, exactly, did your FARRIS/FERGUSON connections live?

I strongly suspect that my FERGUSONS connect with those of Wilbur FERGUSON
of Batesville, and Mary Cooper Miller, editor for the Bits of Bark
publication (Batesville Genealogy Society), but I don't know enough about
mine to make the connection. If you have an interest, I have a two part
article written by Wilber Ferguson saved into text files, and I also have a
copy of an article written about some FERGUSONS in another county of AR,
that I will share with you. Just let me know.

I know that my FERGUSONS lived somewhere near Cave City & Batesville, early
on. They owned an 1100 acre farm there. Mark L. Ferguson, a brother to my
gr grandpa, Joseph Thomas (Tom) was sent to the AR School for the Blind in
Little Rock, and I have a wonderful article about him, which I think I
might pull up and send to the list, not because he's a FERGUSON, but
because the article would be an inspiration to anyone, and a challenge to
realize our full potential. There was a sister named Mary, also born blind.
