Notes:

Expunction from Asperup, 1853 (this is a record of her leaving the parish in Asperup). It i s #16, followed immediately with #15, the expunction record for her husband, Morten Mortensen. The record is on LDS film 0050142, accessions & expunctions 1836-1875, p. 296-7. Attempted transcription follows:

#16:
* Rabn {Name} = "Johanne Marie Jorgensen"
* Alger {Age} = "25 1/2"
* Haandtering {Occupation} = [Can't read]
* Hvorhen Hortreift = [Can't read, looks like: "mnd 4 Bonn, Ajthads" * Unmaerfninger = "conf. Bogense 1842"

!Baptism: IGI: Johanne Marie Jorgensen, b. 17 Dec 1827 Obeles 2. IGI: Johanne Marie Jorgensen, chr. 21 Dec 1827 Klinte, parents: Jorgen Rasmusen & Ane Friderichsdatter. [Kirkebēger, 1741-1915 Den Danske Folkekirke. Grindlēse sogn]

That the above Baptism is her is proven by the baptismal records of her brothers, Rasmus Jorgensen and Frederick Christian Jorgensen, which all match the 1850 census of Morten Mortensen's household.

Jens Andersen

m: Ane Andersdatter (BEF 1820-1920/1925)

Children:

Notes:

In Denmark at this time, surnames were not used the same way as they are today. It was custom ary for children to get the FIRST name of their father, with either "-sen" or "-datter" appended to the end of it. We can easily conclude, therefore, that Jens's father's first name was something like Ander or Anders, but cannot conclude much about his father.

Children:

Children:

m: William Baker (1837-1904)

Children:

Notes:

Grandpa thinks her first name was Alice. Also he said that he thinks she had siblings by th e names Ella, Jim, and Oliver. However, I may have misunderstood, because I wasn't sure whether he said that these were the siblings of Alice or siblings of Pearl (kids of Alice).

He also said (on 8/29/93) that he remembers meeting a nephew of hers named Glenn Larkins.

!Birthdate: Larkins Diary. Says: "Salome A. Larkins was Born August the 10th 1848".

She didn't like her birthname "Salome", so she swapped the names and went by "Alice S."

!Marriage(1): Larkins bible: "Salome A. Larkins and William [E or C] Avery was Marryed October the 6th AD 1867"
!Marriage(1): Clackamas Co., OR marriage index: "Larkins, Salome A., [to] Avery, William C., Oct 6, 1867 [pg.] 64" [Courtesy of Sharon A. Larkins, Feb. 1996]

!Death: Oregon Death Index: "[Name=]Baker, Alice S., [County=]Linn, [Date=]4/5/25, [Cert#=]85.

Appears on 1850 census as Solomon, age 2, b. Indiana. That census was taken Sep 16, 1850.
Appears on 1860 census as Solome A., age 11, b. Oregon. That census was taken Aug 16, 1860. The Oregon birth is more consistent with the family traveling the Oregon trail in 1847.
This places his birthdate between Aug 16 and Sep 16, 1848.

William Baker

m: Snodgrass

Children:

m: Alice Salome Larkins (10 AUG 1848-5 APR 1925)

Children:

Notes:

His folks died in England of Colera. He was then an orphan, and he thought his last name wa s "Baker", so he adopted it. He then stode away on a ship, and rode around the world for a while. He eventually jumped off in Portland Oregon. He was caught, and forced back onto the ship. As the ship left port, he jumped overboard when the ship was about 5 miles out to sea, and swam back to port. (Told to me by Grandpa Lyle)

Grandpa Lyle said that he married and had several kids. Then he remarried a second time to a Snodgrass. Grandpa thinks her name was Alice Snodgrass.

I haven't yet found him in the 1860 or 1870 censuses, although I have searched.
One long shot is a William Baker, age 34 [b. 1835/6] b. England, Carpenter, $2500, living in San Francisco ward 10 in the 1870 census, with wife Hannah, age 40 b. Ireland. The age, birthplace, etc., are all plausible matches. Enum 19 Aug 1870.
Another apparent mismatch: Albany, Linn Co., OR, enum 16 July 1870, hh 443/436: Baker, William B., 37 farmer, $100/Illinois, Eliza 32, Keeping house, b. England, Mary E. 12 Iowa, James W. 10 Iowa, Idaho J., 5 Idaho.

John Ferguson

m: Phebe Hill "Phoebe" Barrow (ABT 1751-ABT 1827)

Children:

m: Bethand or Bethena Dickens

Children:

Notes:

G.E.Howell's records gave his birth place as Stokes Co., N.C., and year as Abt. 1755, while t he below reference gave exact date and York Co., Va.
The above did give a christening as York Co., Va., though.

Note: Proof that this John Ferguson is the father of Mary Margaret Ferguson comes from will material printed in O'Byrne below, where a "Mary Chimault" (Chenault) is named.

It might seem incredible that his last child was born when he was 76 years old, but this information comes from revolutionary war pension files that are basically original records.

!Land Grant: John Ferguson Gent of Union Co., Indiana, 6/6/1832, 80 acres in Boone Co., Indiana.
A full transcription reads as follows: ["Examined" is hand written on the top of the document]. "Certificant No. 14868. The United States of America, To all to whom these presents shall come, Greeting: Whereas, John Ferguson Gent of Union County Indiana, has deposited in the general land office of the United States, a certificate of the Register of the Land Office at Crawfordsville, whereby it appears that full payment has been made by the said John Ferguson Gent, according to the provisions of the act of Congress of the 24th of April, 1820, entitled `an act making further provision for the sale of the public lands,' for the East half of the North West quarter of section [ten] in township nineteen, north of range two, west in the district of [lands] subject for sale at Crawfordsville, Indiana, containing eighty acres according to the official plot of the survey of the said Lands, returned to the General Land Office by the Surveyor General, which said tract has been purchased by the said John Ferguson Gent.
NOW KNOW YE, That the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in consideration of the promises, and in uniformity with the several acts of Congress, in such use made and provided, have given and granted, and, by these present, do give and grant, onto the said John Ferguson Gent, and to his heirs and assigns forever.
In testimony whereof, I, Andrew Jackson, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, have caused these Letters to be made Patent, and the Seal of the General Land Office to be hereunto affixed.
Given under my hand, at the City of Washington, the Sixth day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and thirty two and of the Indpendence of the United States the fifty sixth.
By the President, signed April 5, 1833, Andrew Jackson, By [A. P. Donelson Esq], Commissioner of the General Land Office."

----------
The following are misc. early records that contain the name "John Ferguson".
It is not known whether any of these refer to the John Ferguson of this database entry.

There is a record of a John Fergusson, Esq., of Westham Cottage dying on Oct 1, 1824 in Richmond, VA, at age about 53. This appears in the Richmond Enquirer paper on 8 Oct 1824. [Puts his birthdate at c.1771, possibly a child of this John Ferguson?] Note the spelling with 2 ss's in the paper.

There is a Marriage bond in Amelia Co., VA, of John Ferguson and Olive Williams, on Apr 21, 1789.

On Aug 20, 1746, John Ferguson appears as a tithable in Augusta Co. Court Records.

--------------------
There are also the following marriage bonds in Amelia Co., VA: 26 Nov 1761: Francis Farmer and Mary Fargus. (dau. of John Ferguson)
Note: This John would be too old to be the current entry.
9 Apr 1760: Robert Ferguson and Martha Lorton
Note: A good chance that these are the parents of the John that married
Olive Williams in this same county.
23 Apr 1789: Robert Ferguson and Sarah Stewart

-------------------------------------------------------- THE FOLLOWING RECORD IS HIM:

From ["Roster of Soldiers and Patriots of the American Revolution buried in Indaina", compiled by Mrs. Roscoe C. O'Byrne. Brookville, In. Pub. by Indiana dau. of the American Rev., 1938, pg. 139-140]:

"FERGUSON (FORGASON, FORGUSON), JOHN, Boone County Born: Jan 15, 1755, York County, Virginia
Service: While a resident of Brunswich Co., Vir., he enlisted about Sept., 1777, and served 3 mos. as a pri. in Capt. Charles Lucas' Co., Col. Grey Jenkins' Vir. Regt., and was stationed as a guard at Smithfield, Vir. Later he moved to Guilford Co., N.C., and served 3 tours in N.C. Troops. Two of these tours were for 3 mos. each in Capt. John Mackeden's Co., Col. John Bausley's Regt., and the other was for 5 mos. in Capt. Wm. Bethel's Regt., Col. Abram Phillips. During this time he marched to Camden, S.C., and joined the army under Gen. Gates and was in the defeat at that place; he stated that he was also in a skirmish at Eutaw Springs.
Proof: Pension claim W. 10777.
Died: Feb 14, 1828. Buried Cox Cemetery, Boone Co., Stone.
Married: 1828, in Union Co., Ind., to Bethand Dickens or Bethena Deacons (probably a second marriage). Ch. of the soldier, Mary Chimault; Mary Knott; Rebecca Knott; William; David; John; Elizabeth Young; Joseph; Benjamin; Hannah Green; Moses; Sarah Hill; Jonathan b. 1829; Bethany b. 1831.
Collected by Mrs. Minnie McClaine, Lebanon, Indiana."

In the Rev. War Pensioners Census of 1840, he is listed (p. 181) as: John Forgason, age 86, lives with John Forgason on 6/1/1840, Boone Co., Indiana

---------------------------------------------------- The following is from ["Genealogical Abstracts of Revolutionary War Pension Files", by Virgil D. White, Vol. II, 1991, pg. 1234]:

"FORGUSON, John or John Ferguson, Bethany or Bethena, W10777, BLW #26925-160-55, NC & VA Line, sol was b. 15 Jan 1755 in York Co VA about 12 miles below Little York VA & when a lad his father moved to Brunswick Co VA & sol lived there at enl & later moved to Guilford Co (the part that later became Rockingham Co) NC & also enl there & in 1831 moved to Boon Co IN & sol appl there 21 Apr 1834 a res of Sugar Creek Twnshp IN & sol d there 14 Feb 1842, sol had m Bethene, Barthena or Bethany Deacons or Dinkins on 26 May 1828 in Union Co IN, wid appl 10 Apr 1856 Putnam Co IN aged 62, children shown were; Jonathan b 7 Dec 1829 & Bethany b 20 Mar 1831, in 1855 an Anderson G.

Phebe Hill "Phoebe" Barrow

m: John Ferguson (15 JAN 1755-14 FEB 1842)

Children:

Notes:

She is mentioned in her grandfather Barrow's will, where he left her some Pewter. This can b e found in "Barrow: An Early Southern Family" by Mae Belle Barrow North, Vol 1 no1/2/3/4 under one cover, 1987", the will being in part 3.

I got some information somewhere saying she died 1830 in Pulaski, Kentucky. However, given the second marriage of John Ferguson in 1828 ["Roster of Soldiers and Patriots of the American Revolution buried in Indiana" Compiled by Roscoe C. O'Bryne, 1939, pg. 139-140], this appears rather non-credible. It is much more likely that she died in Boone County, Indiana circa 1825.

Debbie sent me a descendancy chart on 7/18/97 in which her death was labelled as abt 1827 in Pulaski Co., Ky.

Notes:

The information about William Barrow, wife, and son came from George Erwin Howell. Researc h on this branch was actually done by his cousin who lives in Washington, but I don't have her name at this time.

The father of William Barrow is not known. However, I found this record in the Carnegie Library:
John Barrow, son of Edward and Elizabeth Barrow, was born 20 Feb 1729
at Farnham Parish, Richmond Co., Virginia.
This looks VERY much like a sibling, and thus the connection to his father, as shown here.

Death date in LDS is: 14 Nov 1819.
