Posted on: Saline Co. Ar Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Saline?read=75 Surname: Ferguson, Childers ------------------------- Stephen Ferguson and Tennessee Childers, Married December 1878, Saline County, AR. Who were parents of Tennessee Childers. Any siblings? Saline County Census 1880 says she was born in AR. Stephen was born in Scotland, naturalized "1874?", where? Will happily reimburse cost of confirming this info - Don't know whether naturalized in Arkansas. Said to have "stowed away" on ship before age 18. Family story is that his mother was in America already. He had been taken from her by his paternal grandparents when she remarried after his father died. He came to America to find her. Her married name in America may have been Hamilton. Stephen re-married, again in Saline County to Mary Studor. He lived out his life in Saline County. Thank you for any light that may be shed on either side of this story. Tennessee died in a fire at home about March 1884, ?Saline County, AR. Any record of this? Any information appreciated.
