Elijah 3 Ark. s/o Martha J.
William Thomas Damron my grandfather, his mother Susan Ferguson,
d/o Henry Wood Ferguson. c 1862 Wm. Damron & dau. Julia boarded a boat
at Ozark, Ark. & neither was heard from again. Henry Wilson Damron is
in the home of Wm. L. Ferguson his uncle, 1860 Scott Co., Ark. After
his father disappeared my grandfather was raised by his uncle, Wm. L.
Ferguson. Grandfather referred to his half brother Elijah as Odie or
Obie. He was once heard to say, "I wonder what ever happened to my
little red headed brother". This was all following a bushwhacking
incident in which William Damron was shot, it is said seven times, by
a bushwhacker or bushwhackers. This was in the yard of Morrison
Cotner, and was a case of mistaken identity apparently, this as they
were after Morrison Cotner. Following this incident the Cotner women
helped my grandfather yoke up a team of oxen and he drove his father
to Ft. Smith, Ark., some 35 miles, where he was placed in the Military Hospital, then in Union hands. He survived but had an impaired arm. The
story always refers to they, and reason would dictate that it would be
William L. Ferguson and my grandfather who put grandfathers father on a
boat at Ozark, Ark., along with grandfathers sister Julia. "They" tried
to persuade Julia to stay, but by the time she had acceded to that the
boat was moving and when they reached their hand out to her, they just
missed and neither she or grandfathers father was ever heard from again. During this period in time more than 100 boats sank on the Ark. River,
and only a few of these had passenger manifests.

J. Lewis 24 Tenn. John Lewis
Mary (Ferguson) 16 Ark.
Nancy Damron, dau. of William Thomas Damron and Mary Jane
Ferguson, married one John Lewis, who had married a descendant of
Henry Wood Ferguson. This would appear to be that John Lewis. Later
census reports would establish this as children of this elder John
Lewis were: William Henry Lewis, who became a doctor, John Lewis, who
married Nancy Damron, and Tom Lewis, who I don't think married. Tom
Lewis is said to have been a bank robber, but was never caught. My
grandfather objected to his dau. Nancy marrying John Lewis, this on
the basis of a blood relationship. He was said to say, "I love John
Lewis like a brother, but this is too much".

See 1880 Sebastian Co., Ark., should read Elizabeth Owenly. This
is the mother in law of William Jasper Ferguson Jr., who married
Martha Owenly, dau. of the foregoing Elizabeth Owenly. While William
J. Ferguson may have known these Owenly's in Ga., they did not travel
west with him, this is evident in the birth of the Julia shown here as
the wife of Houston Been. William J. Ferguson removed from Ga. in the
spring of 1861, and this Julia was born Ga. around 1863.

Verda, w/o Arch McKinley Damron, had in her belongings at her
death, two photos taken in the same studio in Arkansas City, Kan. One
is of a woman somewhere around 30 years of age, the other is of a boy
of about 4 or 5, and on the back of that photo is written, Oscar
Ferguson. This may be that Oscar Ferguson. See the 1860 census of
Scott Co., Ark., home of William Leyton Ferguson. In that census James
is 9 years of age. As Daniel, the first husband of Abigail, was
murdered soon after the 1850 Scott Co., Ark. census, it would appear
that Abigail was pregnant with James, and as she married William
Leyton Ferguson, brother to the murdered Daniel, James was probably a
step son to William L., as well as a nephew. Note that Bonny as well
as Oscar were born Tex. It would appear that John E. was in Texas in
1900. We can also see that this in the 1900 Logan Co., Ark., home of
James W. Ferguson Sr. The following Joseph D. Ferguson also fits as a
son of James W., this as he is in the home in the 1900 Logan Co., Ark.
census. James W. is not in the home of William L. Ferguson in the 1870
census of Scott Co., Ark., he is old enough to have been on his own
however. As Daniel, as well as William Leyton Ferguson was born in
Tenn., sons of Henry Wood Ferguson, who was born in SC, this probably
accounts for a mix up in the places of birth attributed to James, his
father and mother. They are all one generation back of where they
should be, James was born in Ark. and not in Tenn. It is also not
uncommon to misinterpret the Script M., W., and N. in a census,
likewise the letters L., S., T., and sometimes D. The letters J. and
I. also cause problems in some script hands. In this particular case I
use the data on James in the 1860 Scott Co., Ark. census and the data
in the 1900 Logan Co., Ark. census. Also note a James W. in the deeds
of Logan Co., Ark., and note this location in proximity to William
Leyton Ferguson.

The area around Huntington was a heavy coal mining area during the
early 1900's, and most in that area made their living from either
working for the mines, or from those who were employed in the mining
of coal.
