2/6/01 In response to Mr. LaGrange's question about the family of Warrick Fergason: In the 1860 Census, at page 21 of the printed version, House 221 / Family 237, we find: Fergason, Warrik (spelling uncertain) Age 47 Male Farmer Real estate $400, Person estate $228 value. Born in Illinois Fergason, Mary Age 48, Female, Matron, born Texas Children are: Mary A. Age 24, Domestic duties, born Texas Joseph Age 21, Farm laborer, born Louisiana Henry H. Age 11, born Louisiana Rebecca Age 8, born Louisiana Also in the next Family, W. Fergason Jr., age ?? Male, Farmer, Real estate $400, Personal estate $1,980. Born ?? If it helps to place the location, a near neighbor is a very large land-owner, Jos. Wilder. Mr. Fergason doesn't appear to be in the 1870 Census. (n.b. In Louisiana the "counties" are referred to as "parishes." Only state in the union to do so, I believe.) Hope that helps and someone else may have further information. Nancy W.
