Surnames: Gunters and Ferrells Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/jhh.2ACIB/5503 Message Board Post: Three of my great aunts and uncles married into the Gunters of Gunter Hollow at Short Mountain of the Ferrells that moved from Burke County NC. Augustine Gunter died 1827 and buried up by Hurricane Creek. Claiborne Gunter SR son of John and Sarah Gunter lived at the Mountain and My Ferrells lived next door 1820. Gunter Cabin built 1804 and I have done family history notebook on these Gunters and followed them after to Siloam Springs Arkansas where Caldean Gunter is listed as Founder of Hico ( old name for Siloam Springs) His brother Thomas Montague Gunter is father of Governor Julian Gunter of Colorado. His mansion is in Fayetteville built 1871 after first mansion destroyed during war by the Federals. Thomas Montague Gunter was one of 80 men voted for secession from the Union in beginning of Civil War and commanded Gunters Batallion as Colonel. He commanded at Prairie Grove, Pea Ridge Ark. and Wilsons Creek Mo. Caldean moved with full blood cherokee wife Nancy Ward ! from Short Mountain about 1836. Her family already removed to Oklahoma just over ARkansas line. T M Gunter came about 1851 from Marion County Tn after he removed from Sht Mountain and went to Law School. I am interested to see if earlier contact with my Ferrells. Attic records found in Siloam Springs from Doctor C D Ferrell refer to my Ferrells at the Mountain. My ggg Grandfather lived at Sht Mountain in 1820 next door to the Gunters and was Methodist Minister Short Mountain Circuit ( Charles Ferrell). 1852 another group of Gunters moved to Villonia Arkansas just east of Conway Arkansas and I have visited this family as well. I got 12 letters between 1957 to 1968 about these lines of interest including from Rogers of Oklahoma since the Famed Will Rogers Grandmother Mary was a Gunter from these lines. Caldean Gunter has Cherokee roll number issued and was listen in Arkansas as 1/4 blood. My family so close to Gunters for 100 years and want to see if connections from before Tenn. I suspect poss origins of my John Ferrell born about 1767 may have lived in Pittsylvania county in part that became Henry county and may have moved either to Caswell county Nc or Franklin County NC since I know these Ferrells are connected by docs found. I found a rec showing one of the Burke Co boys of John Gunter may have been near the Tar River in Franklin. Got any evidences of this? There was a big Ferrell plantation near present day Ferrells bridge rd and Alfords mill rd near the Tar river dating back to 1757. John Ferrell may have come with Gunters to the mountain but it seems that there was a couple of migrations from the same family.

Thought this might interest you: Old Churches, Ministers, and Families of Virginia. Article XL. At the death of Mr. Robertson in 1740, an agreement was made with a Rev. Mr. Hartwell to become the minister; but, misunderstandings taking place as to the terms, it was never carried into execution. Mr. Robert Ferguson was then chosen, and continued to be the minister for ten years,--until 1750. He was succeeded by the Rev. Eleazer Robertson, who continued two years, and was succeeded by the Rev. Thomas Wilkinson, who resigned in 1762, and was succeeded by the Rev. William Harrison, who resigned in 1780, though continuing to reside in Petersburg until his death in 1814, being eighty-four years of age. The parish being advertised as vacant, the Rev. Mr. Kennedy and the Rev. Dr. Cameron were candidates in 1784. The latter was chosen, and ministered in the parish until 1793, when he resigned. Of him I shall speak in another place. In the following year the Rev. Andrew Syme was elected, and continued until his resignation in 1839,--a period of forty-five years. He continued to reside in Petersburg until his death, esteemed and beloved, by all who knew him, as "an Israelite in whom there was no guile." For further particulars of him the reader is referred to my article on South Farnham parish, Essex county, from which he removed to Bristol parish, and to the Rev. Mr. Slaughter's full and very interesting pamphlet on Bristol parish. For some years previous to his resignation of the parish, Mr. Syme, on account of increasing infirmities, had called for an assistant, and obtained the services of the Rev. Hobart Bartlett, from New York, whose fine talents, popular preaching, and agreeable manners contributed much to the increase of the congregation. In the year 1839 I was induced, under peculiar circumstances, to take the temporary charge of the congregation, but soon accomplished the object had in view, and procured for the congregation the services of the Rev. Mr. Cobbs, now Bishop of Alabama. His ministry, during the few years of its continuance, was very prosperous in all respects. During that period a general awakening of the souls of the people of Petersburg took place, and the ministers of all denominations laboured faithfully in prayer, and sermons, and exhortations, private and public. Instead of discouraging such extraordinary efforts for so extraordinary an outpouring of the Spirit of God as was granted, Mr. Cobbs came behind none, and went beyond some, in the frequency and continuance of his religious exercises. The result was, that no congregation was more highly blest in the results thereof. I laid my hands on the heads of ninety-three at that time, who, for the last three months, had been receiving the daily instructions of their minister, either public or private, and of such other ministers as he was able to bring to his help. During Mr. Cobbs's ministry the ladies of the Wilmer Association--who had for so many years been the most active of all in supporting beneficiaries at our Seminary, sending at times to the amount of five and six hundred dollars to the treasury--began to divert their funds from this to the promotion of missionary labours in the town of Petersburg. The result has been the establishment of the prosperous church under the care of the Rev. Mr. Gibson. In the year 1843 the Rev. Mr. Slaughter accepted a call to this parish, after the resignation of the Rev. Mr. Cobbs. His services were so acceptable to the people, that at the end of the six months which he had proposed to himself as a trial, he agreed to continue, nor did he cease to labour there until his health so failed as to make it improper to add further efforts. He was succeeded by the Rev. Horace Stringfellow, who continued until the year 1854. His place has been supplied during the present year (1856) by the Rev. Mr. Platt, from Alabama. ---------------------- Colonial churches in the original colony of Virginia : a series of sketches Page 173 On November 22d, 1762, the Rev. Thomas Wilkerson resigned the parish. The same day he was succeeded by Rev. William Harrison The first twelve years or so of Mr. Harrison's incumbency seem to have been uneventful enough; then came the troublous times of the war with England. Under date of October 19th, 1775, occurs the following entry in the vestry book: Whereas, The callamitous State of the Country renders it Doubtfull (page 174) whether a Sufficient Sum Can be Collected from the people, for payment of the Parochial Debt, in Money. And by the Restrained Laid on Exports, by publick (sic) Consent, The Parishioners are Precluded of the Election which the Law Had Giveing (sic) them, in paying their Due's in Tobo or Money. It is Determined by Vestry That the Ministers Salary Shall be Estimated at One Hundred And Forty four Pound's, to be Collected as Nearly as Possible in Money Unless the prohibition on Exports Should be Removed, And in that Case the People to be at Liberty to pay in Tobo at Eighteen Shillings Per Hundred, In Lieu of Money, According to there (sic) Own Choice. And it's further to be Understood that the Revd Mr. Harrison shall wait for the Ballance, (sic) After the Collection is made, three Years without Interest, unless it should Please HEAVEN to Put an End before that time, To the Troubles of our Country, And then it is understood that Encumbered [t's] Salary shall be Demandable in the usual and 'accustomed way.'" Poor Mr. Harrison! One is hardly surprised at finding the following entered on the minutes of the vestry meeting held February 4, 1780: "This day of the Late Rector, the Revd. Mr. Harrison, wrote in his Resignation of his Cure of this Parish, which is accepted." ------------------ From the family burying ground at "Porter Hill," corner of Harrison and Early Streets, Petersburg, Va.
