Research Notes
added death dates for her children for future reference. Ora's name was not legible first time he was recorded in census but was subsequently. Dr. Joseph W. Ferguson served in the Union Army during the Civil War. Adams County was not listed as certain location of death as there was an entry on Find a Grave from a descendant who believe she may have been born in Warrick County, IN. As I do not know source of Adams County on Find a Grave, I marked birth location as uncertain.
