At sometime in the 1900-1910's there was an old Ferguson Farm, 6 miles from Hampton, Harrel, and Tinsman, from my Aunt's remembrance, where her grandmother lived about 1910. She remembers walking to the mailbox and someone saying that there is the old house place where Grandma Josephine Davis used to live on the "Company farm". ... the old Furgerson place. It belonged to either Benjamin Franklin Furgerson or his father William Franklin Furgerson. William is listed as merchant on the census and Ben was working for his father. The questions are, what was a company farm? Does anyone know of a house fire at that location in the 1910's? My grandmother lost one or two siblings in that fire. I was told the Pete Carter/ now Deceased/ remembered a fire at that location.
