I am doing some research for a friend who has recently purchased the Carter-Thoroughman house in Ferguson. It sits on the corner of Thoroughman Lane and North Florissant Roads. In my research, I have found that William and Grace Thoroughman Carter weren't the residents in the house in 1900. Grace's father, Thomas Thoroughman, a prominent Saint Louis attorney, built the home for them when they married in 1893. Thomas Thoroughman died in 1897. I am not sure whether that fact had anything to do with them not living in the house. Can anyone shed some light on this mystery? I have census pages showing where they are living up to the 1930 census, and other pages to show who actually lived in the house. Wendy
