Betty, No I haven't seen this. Sounds like a goldmine! Would you happen to have the name of the book? I will get on the phone tomorrow and start trying to track it sown. (I'm in Cambridge, England but I think the LDS has a place - or places in London and I'm down there every week so they will be able to help me I'm sure. So Many, many thanks.

Thanks for the info Toni. Johnny

Sorry about that.....The dates for Capt. John Ferdon are Sept. 8,1835-Sept. 3, 1921.

Nona....I was doing a lookup for someone the other day and found the following Ferdon's listed in the Nesmith Cemetery -Located on Turkey Creek-----Nesmith Comunity. Margaret A. Nesmith May 29, 1848-Jan. 2, 1944 wife of Capt. John Ferdon Sept. 9, 1835-Sept. 3, Sula W. Ferdon May 5, 1884-Sept. 22, 1926 J. Herbert Ferdon July 13, 1887-July 4, 1929 WW Veteran Rosa B. Ferdon wife of William J. Nesbitt Feb.. 9, 1862-Aug.14, 1937 George Walter Ferdon Aug. 18, 1876-March 17, 1958 Alice B. Ferdon April 5, 1885-January 13, 1965 If I run across any more Ferdon's I will be sure to send them to you.Betty

Betty C, Saw your posting about Nesmith's book. I am wondering if you have an Ann Pressley listed. She married Rev. George Anderson, they had a son George Pressley Anderson in 1838 in GA. The family refers to the Pressleys as cousins in this generation, especially when speaking of Judge John Gotea Pressley. The Judge's personal account of his ancestors does not include Ann Pressley. George Pressley Anderson, our ggrandfather married Margaret Gotea Wilson of Williamsburg Co. SC. Any time spent would be most appreciated. Thanks, Janyce Anderson

Nona, Have you seen Agnes Nesmith's book on John Ferdon, John Nesmith, and John Brockinton? It's available on microfilm through the FHC at the nearby LDS church, and has a lot of good information on all three families. ....BettyC

>> Location: BLACK MINGO CREEK Source(s): COOK, BODDIE. Notes: ORIGINAL WILLIAMSBURG SETTLER, BORN ON RIVER BANN, NORTHERN IRELAND IN 1670. << There seems to be better proof that this John was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. There is a christening record for him there. I'm not at home so I can't give you the source data until next week. I searched the Irish records and never found reference to him, but the christening is there in Scotland. There is also a record of his landing in New Hampshire about 1684, in company with one of his Baird cousins and others who seem to be relatives. ....BettyC

hello list, i am looking for an email address for Steve Coker. Is he on this list or does anyone have his addy?

Carole, I have a feeling that my last message got lost in space. "My" Nesmiths merged into the Ferdons with the 1658 marriage of Joanna to John Ferdon (b. 1635). I BELIEVE she was the daughter of Lemuel (b. 1608) but am still trying to verify this. Any ideas you might have would be welcome.
