My GG grandmother was Sarah Pleasant Furr who wed Francis Donahoe in LaSalle Co., Illinois in about 1860. Her dad was Newton Furr and he had come from Loudon Co., Virginia. His dad, I think, was Enoch Furr a revolutionary war veteran. A cousin Robert Furr had done a big history on this family and felt that all Furrs in the US were related. Where did these Jackson Co. Furrs come from? Bob Furr thought that the name may have originated in Scotland but the family legend my grandma held on to was that the Furrs were french huguenots who came to the US to escape religious persecution. She was sure the name was "le Furre". Good luck with your research! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
