William Thomas Ferrell, b. 1861
William Thomas Ferrell was my great great great grandfather. I am looking for information about his family, particularly his brothers and sisters. I am *almost* certain I have found him on an 1860 census living with two sisters and a brother (Rebecca, Martha A. and James M.) and his mother and father (Thomas and Mary), but William being such a common name I can't be 100% sure that is the same one. I also have him living next door to a James M. Ferrell in the 1870 census. Which would also suggest a relationship, but doesn't prove it.
William Thomas was first married to Sarah McCray in 1861 in Alabama and had Emiline Josephine, Charles Valentine, Mamie Victoria, Robert Lee, and Minnie Mae Ferrell. (It appears he had a child named William Ange with a woman named Francis Long prior to his marriage to Sarah, but I do not think he was ever married to Francis). Upon the death or divorce of Sarah (cannot find evidence of either), he married a woman named Evie (maiden name unknown) in 1900 and moved to Nacogdoches, Texas where he died in 1921.
If this William or any of his children fit into your tree I would love to talk to you! If you have any information about his family I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
