These brothers and sisters of Alvah Fitzpatrick Ferguson were the children born of Rev. James Eldridge Ferguson, Jr. of Muscle Shoals, Alabama and Fanny Phillips Fitzpatrick, two children born of an elderly plantation owner Alva Fitzpatrick, not FITZGERALD, a mistake not corrected to this day by the Daughters of the Confederacy, DAR, and Daughters of the Texas Republic! Fanny and Joseph Fitzpatrick were two children born to Katherine Vickers McGowan of this Montgomery, Alabama environs, coming from Georgia, down from North Carolina after the Revolutionary War. Joseph Fitzpatrick appears to be a family name and there are other Joseph Fitzpatricks quite successful elsewhere in the South who came over from Ireland, i. e. Louisiana. Fanny and Joseph Fitzpatrick were raised in the Urseline Convent in Galveston, Texas because their mother had passed away, and their elderly father could not care for them with his hard life and struggles in Texas. It was said, that Grandma Fanny Phillips Fitzpatrick was probably one of the finest women Texas had ever seen, Mother to Governor James E. Ferguson, viciously attacked by the KKK who to this day, carry on their sabotage and terrorism against this family by their lies and deceit, which serves no one, especially at a time like this with all the real Africans, and Caribbeans coming in 5000 a day at the George Bush Airport built on my mother's inherited land, that her admirer bought for her, but she refused to marry him, and so, she earned the title of...for that mistake. Roscoe Quintin Ferguson, born 1888 in Bell County went to work as a pony express rider in 1905 to get to the other family running a hacienda in Mexico City to support his brothers and sisters who never gave him the time of day for their existence. He was a little short guy, blonde and blue eyed, looked a lot like William Clinton, and quietly did everything great, and loved to talk and meet people, was a conservationist and nutrition whiz kid. He was very much admired, and broke a lot of hearts in Texas when he married my grandmother, Mrs. Laverta Elizabeth Wheeler-Lowry in Bell County in 1916. Everyone was having a terrible time with the crazy KKK, and no one helping anyone, and so, people began vicious rumors without merit and truth. One has to remember that my grandfather was a bachelor for almost 15 years before he married. I found a reference to the last baby born, who was a genius whiz kid, before he suffered extreme head injury in a Dow Chemical Plant Explosion which killed everyone but him, Marvin Bryce Ferguson, who was a victim of women refugees from behind the Iron Curtain, all pretending to be the one and same woman, ID Theft meant to deceive everyone in the State of Texas to this very day! On the record, it states the mother's name as Laverta Elizabeth Wheeler, and so, one does not know if the nurse, doctor were hispanic or appreciated the fact that my Grandmother was so much more high class than Roscoe, it wasn't even funny, and there was never a person who did not meet my saintly Grandmother Laverta (the first in America with that oddball name) who did not fall in love with her and desire her kindness and friendship, until Texas made the mistake of thinking they were as nice as we were. It cost her life. The other living legend in Texas besides Granny Fanny was Grandma Dean/Deen of my late grandmother, Laverta Elizabeth Ferguson-Wheeler-Lowry, a cousin of Abe Lincoln, and George Washington. We have been trying to find the lost family bibles that were stolen from my family for the express purpose to defraud and defame. GOD BLESS AMERICA!! You can write to me! Elaine E. Henderson in Atlanta, Texas where I have absolutely no friends, ties or family, aid and comfort, work, respect in general, and would like to return home somewhere as soon as humanly possible at times like this. When I married my late husband, Don Henderson, in Burbank California he told me he only had a few friends left living at 53. I couldn't understand, but apparently, the Hollywood TV/Photography Chemicals/World Travel/WWII Service/DDT really cut a swath through the lines. Now, that I am 60 and a lot prettier than Ms. Cameron Diaz when she gets my age and been through what I have, she will wish she looked as good as me. I have learned that Edward Payson Washburn, the artist in Little Rock, was a distant cousin too to Grandmother's family. The children of Roscoe Q. Ferguson and Laverta E. Wheeler, both saints in heaven in a time before abortion on demand, wholesale slaughter of innocents and animals and plants on the earth were: Victor Ferguson Rose Marie Ferguson Glenna Ruth Ferguson Joan E. Ferguson James E. Ferguson Marvin Bryce Ferguson all incredible people, and one can only wish, one of your children would have done so much for the world that these wild kids too, but keep poisoning the energetic with pills to keep them down and out and under and quiet so they can grow up in Texas to do the bidding of the criminals in charge now! I can't believe the nonsense I have heard from people who wouldn't know me if they passed me on the street and have me confused with terrorist nutcases.

Surnames: Parsons, Simpson, Moore Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CkB.2ACI/1991.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Following up on your request about Cornelia Simpson Parsons: This is taken from the book, "To Lend a Hand: History of King's Daughters Hospital" by Patricia K. Benoit and Weldon G. Cannon (1996), Chapter 3: [beginning quotation] A faithful member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, later renamed Grace Presbyterian, Cornelia Simpson Parsons was the wife of Avery H. Parsons, a locomotive engineer for the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway. Born in Virginia in 1851, she had married at about age 17 to her first husband. They had a son who died at age 16. She later married Mr. Parsons and moved to Texas, where she plunged into charitable and religious work. Her husband, too, became active in civic and municipal affairs. They had no children of their own, but later reared her niece and nephew. Mr. Parsons parlayed his railroad income into vast real estate holdings in Temple and throughout Texas and was president and major stockholder of the Desdemona-Temple Oil Company. Even when his railroad duties forced him to move to South Texas in 1899, Mrs. Parsons chose to remain in Temple to continue as King's Daughters Hospital superintendent until 1904. Her friends and coworkers describ! ed her as a tireless worker, a manager who led by example and an extremely efficient administrator. Mrs. Parsons died eight months after her husband in 1920 of complications following an appendectomy. Even as she lay dying in her hospital room, she encouraged the nurses and her friends to concentrate on "the higher and better things of life." "Those who were near her bedside," the Temple Daily Telegram reported, "felt it a privilege so to be, for she spoke so often and so beautifully of her going [to heaven].... Mrs. Parsons loved her fellow man, worshipped her God and was charitable at all times to a marked degree." [end of quotation] Mrs. Parsons is the founding administrator for King's Daughters Hospital in Temple, which still stands and operates. In 1904 she joined Temple Sanitarium (later renamed Scott & White Memorial Hospital and Clinic) as hospttal administrator. She was never a nurse, always a hospital superintentent (what we would call an administrator or manager). Both she and her husband are buried in Hillcrest Cemetery in Temple, Texas. buried with them is the child they adopted late in life. For further reference, please see "Men of Steel, Women of Spirit: The History of the Santa Fe Hospital" (1991) and "For the Good of Humanity: 100 Years of Surgery at Scott & White (1992)," both by Patricia K. Benoit. Scott & White has the books, I believe. Call 254-724-3047. Good luck in your research. Mrs. Parsons is an early leader in hospital administration and deserves a more extensive history on her pioneering hospital administration.
