I see only one thing that could make me feel this is wrong but given the times I do not feel it is that important. Hannah states b ca 1844 in 1880, the later census she states 1848-1849. According to the 1880 Erath Co census, JR Ferguson had wife HJ b PA abt 1844,dtr ML b 1873 TX & son AN b 1878 TX. They are living next door to her brother A Metsgar. Looking for any male Ferguson in 1910 b 1877-1879 whose name begins with A, I found only one and it was Abraham in Eastland Co. His father b AL his mother b PA. Next door to Abraham is Anna J Webb b PA and this is her second marriage. Husband is Oliver P b 1841 MS. I then went backwards to 1900 to find this Oliver P Webb that is married to Hannah. They were in Eastland Co and she is Hanna b PA with her son George O and her son Abe, who is enumerated as step son to Oliver P Webb. Still searching on Abr* Ferguson(using soundex), I find him and her in AZ in 1920. That is also where his WWl card was. Eastland Co and Erath Co are adjacent to one another. My family lived in Fulton Co AR that became Izard Co when the county lines changed, this could have been what happened here. Just wanted you to take a little closer look in case this is your family. You could try sending for a death certificate on George to see if his mother was Hannah Metzger, which I believe she was. Good luck, Rayedene Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
